The problem with Janggi was that sometimes, silence was deadlier than war. Park Jimin had always lived between two worlds- the warmth of dance and the cold shadow of his nightmares. He spent years convincing himself he could outrun fate. But fate had a name. Jeon. The marriage contract had been signed long before Jimin even understood what it meant to belong to someone. He was just a dancer. Soft-spoken. Graceful. Unassuming. And Yoongi? Yoongi was the storm people didn't survive. Jimin should have been terrified. But when Yoongi slid the ring onto his finger with quiet finality, he felt something worse than fear- curiosity. Yoongi never promised love. He promised protection - cold, calculated, and absolute. A man who played with fire, yet never let it touch him. When he looked at Jimin, it wasn't as a husband might. It was as if he were a piece on a board - Something to move, to control, to win. "You don't love me," Jimin murmured, testing the weight of his new reality. Yoongi's lips curled into something sharp. "Love isn't the game I play." Jimin tilted his head. "Then what do you want from me?" Yoongi's fingers brushed against his wristlight, cold, inescapable. "Everything." ----------------------------------- Themes: Mafia | Survival in Silence | Power Struggles | Omegaverse | Emotional Repression | Healing Tropes: - Mafia x Dancer - Forced Marriage / Marriage of Convenience - Cold, Emotionally Distant Alpha - Soft, Resilient Omega - Forced Proximity - Slow Burn - Strangers to Lovers - Morally Grey Top - Healing Through Love Important Notice: Silent Flames is NOT a standalone is part of an interconnected trilogy.

The first rule of Janggi was simple- protect the king at all costs. Namjoon had lived by that rule since he was fifteen, since the night his father's body turned cold. Every move he made, every piece he sacrificed, was to ensure one thing- his family's survival. And now, Kim Seokjin was just another piece on his board. The wedding wasn't a celebration. There were no flowers, no soft whispers of love. Just an exchange of rings under the dim glow of a chandelier, watched by men who carried guns instead of blessings. Jin's face was unreadable, but Namjoon saw the defiance in his eyes. A king without a kingdom, a man forced into a game he never wanted to play. But Namjoon wasn't looking for a willing groom. He was looking for revenge. He leaned in close, his voice a quiet threat. "You owe me a big time, Seokjin" Jin didn't flinch. He met Namjoon's gaze and whispered, "You're playing the wrong game, Namjoon. I'm not a piece-you just handed me the power to destroy you." For the first time in years, Namjoon almost smiled. Let the game begin. ----------------------------------- Themes: Mafia | Revenge | Power Struggles | Omegaverse | Betrayal | Healing Tropes: - Mafia x Doctor - Forced Marriage - Forced Proximity - Slow Burn - Enemies to Lovers - Possessive & Morally Grey Top - Healing Through Love Important Notice: Bound by Vengeance is NOT a standalone-it is part of an interconnected trilogy.
