Kim Taehyung only meant to ask out a girl. Jeon Jungkook only meant to protect himself. Neither expected to fall - and shatter. A single mistake pulls two CEOs into a messy, tender, slow-burn tangle of desire, denial, and longing. Taehyung, impulsive and terrified of his own feelings, breaks the one man who offered him warmth. Jungkook, older, sharper, and bruised by a past betrayal, refuses to be someone's "experiment" again. Now they orbit each other with the weight of want heavy in their chests - aching, resisting, and slowly learning what it means to love without fear. This is a story of two men learning how badly they want, how deeply they break, and how painfully they try to rebuild. A journey of self-hatred, healing, desire, and the terrifying honesty of choosing someone for real. Slow burn. Angst. Miscommunication. Trauma. Healing. Age gap. Queer awakening. Heartbreak. Rebuilding. Sometimes love isn't gentle- but wanting someone is the first step toward tragedy... or salvation.
