Some promises are spoken.
The ones that change your life are the promises you spend years believing in.
Jeon Jungkook met Park Y/N when they were thirteen years old, the day he stepped into a small boxing gym owned by her older brother, Park Jimin. It wasn't a gym built to produce champions. It was a place where children could learn to protect themselves-or simply fall in love with boxing-without ever worrying about the cost.
There, Jimin taught them the first lesson every boxer should know.
*Fight with the heart of a boxer.*
Before they ever threw their first punch together, he made them promise that they would never step into the ring for pride, revenge, or power. They would fight because they loved the sport, and because every opponent deserved respect.
Within those walls, they grew up together.
Sparring partners.
Best friends.
Each other's safe place.
Jimin trusted Jungkook like family. He even enrolled Y/N into the same school so the two would never have to face life alone.
Then life demanded something none of them were ready for.
Jimin was offered an opportunity in the United States-one too good to refuse.
The night before they left, they made Jungkook one last promise.
"Wait for us."
"We'll come back for you."
So he did.
He counted the months.
He counted the years.
He held onto every memory.
Believing that one day they'd walk back into his life as if nothing had changed.
But the promise was never kept.
When Jungkook needed them the most...
They never came back.
What happened to the boy who never stopped waiting?
And what happened in America that was powerful enough to break a promise they never intended to break?
