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."
