Because He Was Beautiful 🖤 History worshipped beauty as if it were power itself. Wars were started for it, thrones were stolen because of it, empires bent beneath it. Kim Seokjin was living proof. Thirty-three years old, the face of every campaign, the name whispered in every studio. His beauty wasn't just admired - it was currency, empire, and curse. And when Jeon Jungkook set his eyes on him, admiration was never the goal. Obsession was. What begins under the lights of a runway twists into something darker: a battle between the man who built his crown with beauty, and the man who believes he was born to own it. ⚠️ Advisory: This story contains graphic depictions of sexual assault, coercion, manipulation, and violence. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

Her voice shook as she asked again, "Rudraksh... please, what's happening? I don't understand. Why am I here?" Rudraksh stood still, his expression unreadable. But in his eyes there was something different in them. Something colder than the warmth she was used to. He couldn't let sympathy cloud his judgment. Not now. Not when his duty came first. "You're confused," he said, his voice firm, which felt unfamiliar. "You're going to take a lie detector test. It's part of the process. We need to know what you remember... and what you don't." Drishti stared at him, her heart sinking. A lie detector test? She had no idea what he was talking about. It felt like all of this was happening to someone else, not her. "I don't understand," she whispered, shaking her head as fear tightened in her chest. Rudraksh didn't answer. Instead, without warning, he moved. With a calm, practiced motion, he reached for the handcuffs. She gasped, her eyes widening in shock. "Rudraksh!" she cried, panic rising in her voice. "What are you doing?!" . . .
