Jeon Jungkook, 25, returns to Korea from the US after learning that his marriage has been arranged since childhood-with Kim Hana, the eldest daughter of his father's best friend. Although Jungkook has little interest in arranged marriages, he agrees to stay at the Kim family home while setting up a business branch in Seoul.
There, he meets Kim Taehyung, Hana's younger brother a 19-year-old art student with an unpredictable charm, a curious mind, and an easy laugh. Jungkook is caught off guard by how deeply drawn he is to Taehyung-not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually.
But Taehyung doesn't know. Not that Jungkook is set to marry his sister. Not that Jungkook is struggling with feelings he never intended to have.
And Jungkook? Every shared moment, every quiet glance, every accidental touch, pulls him deeper into the one connection he shouldn't want.
As the wedding plans start quietly forming around him, Jungkook is left torn-between the life mapped out for him, and the boy who makes him feel alive for the first time.

Late Evening, Kim Family Rooftop
Jungkook leans on the railing, the Seoul skyline glittering ahead. The cool air feels sharper than usual-maybe it's the weight in his chest.
Footsteps behind him. A familiar laugh.
Taehyung: "Couldn't sleep?"
Jungkook (softly): "Something like that."
Taehyung joins him, holding two mugs of tea.
Taehyung: "You look like you're carrying something heavy."
Jungkook (glances at him): "I guess I am."
They stand in silence for a moment. The lights of the city flicker below like stars.
Taehyung: "You know, you don't talk much. But your eyes do."
Jungkook (quietly): "What do they say?"
taehyung (smiled): that's a secret between me and your eyes ☺️
