By day, Jeon Jungkook is the perfect cadet at the police academy. Smart, disciplined, quiet. The kind of student who should be the future of law enforcement. But when night falls, he becomes Phantom-a masked figure who hunts criminals the law won't or can't touch. The public loves him. The government fears him. And no one knows who Phantom really is... except for one man who's getting closer every day. Park Jimin is the academy's youngest instructor-a brilliant detective-turned-professor, recruited not for his age but for his gift: think like a criminal and you'll trap him. He can see through masks and break down a person's soul with a glance. Jimin chose the hard path. His father-a powerful prosecutor, dripping with wealth and corruption-wanted him to follow in his footsteps. But Jimin rejected the easy road. He built his name from nothing, fueled by a hunger for real justice. Jimin's task: Identify and stop Phantom before the truth leaks-that the city's beloved vigilante is one of their own. Because Jimin knows what the fallout would be. If the public learns that the law's failures bred Phantom, they'll stop trusting the system altogether. But as Jimin studies Jungkook-the boy who's everything a cadet should be by day, and a predator of predators by night-he begins to see himself in him. The younger, twisted side of Jimin he's tried to bury. The part of him that wanted to burn the whole rotten system down. Now Jimin walks a razor's edge. And the closer he got to Jungkook, the more he found himself torn between duty and desire. Between stopping a killer... and falling for him. Jikook Topjm Published in 08/07/25
