Deserted Me. "He never said I was his... but I loved like I belonged to him." ____________________________ Prince Kim Taehyung of the Xi Dynasty. 20 years of grief hardened him into steel. A leader. A fortress. The heir raised by the palace- By Namjoon's wisdom, Jin's warmth, Yoongi's protection, Jimin's devotion. While Tae maintained cold, calculated distance. 20 years of 'Appa.' 20 years of maintaining walls. 20 years of Jungkook's soul screaming: Wrong. Wrong. WRONG. He tried to be a father. Jungkook's soul had other plans. Now he's 20. Tall. Commanding. Eyes that have haunted Tae's dreams for two decades. A voice that sounds too familiar when it drops low: 'Stop running from me.' 'What are you to me, Prince Taehyung?' Not Dad. Not Guardian. Not a caretaker. " TRY AGAIN. " DESERTED ME The reckoning begins.
