TAEGGUKIEFIQS
Running from hell is never simple. Especially when someone powerful enough keeps pulling you back into the flames.
Belligerent. Reckless. Wrapped in shades of black like armor against the world, Jeongguk barely resembles the man people think he is. Hidden away by a father desperate to keep him safe, he has lived a life that looks ordinary... despite being born into the dark, restless waters of New York's underworld.
And then there is Taehyung. Cold. Cruel. Calculating. A man with destruction carved into his bones.
Even the Made Men whisper his name with unease. Kim Taehyung the ruthless sovereign of the state's most vicious crime syndicate, a predator draped in elegance and danger.
Jeongguk despises everything about him, his arrogance, his possessiveness, the rough edge of his authority.
Yet he cannot ignore the way his breath falters when Taehyung's hand closes around him. The low, velvet rasp of Taehyung's voice. The dark, burning intensity of his gaze.
Taehyung, however, has little patience for Jeongguk's defiance. He hates the boy's recklessness. His disobedience. The chaos he brings wherever he goes.
To Taehyung, Jeongguk is nothing more than something wild that must be broken... and tamed. And when Taehyung slips a ring onto Jeongguk's finger, stealing away his future with a single merciless gesture...
Jeongguk makes only one silent promise.
If he is to be chained to the devil...
Then he will become the devil's greatest torment.
