"I was trained to kill. He was born to rule. So why does my heart tremble when he smiles at me like he already knows how this ends?" Choi Ji-hwan is known in the underground as Rook-a cold, efficient assassin working for the infamous Black Court, a shadowy organisation where rank is everything and loyalty is a death sentence. His next mission? Eliminate Nam Min-seo: a rising political star disrupting systems too close to the Court's interests. It should've been easy. Clean. Silent. But Min-seo looks him in the eye and says, "You're hesitating." And Ji-hwan does. Again. And again. What Ji-hwan doesn't know is that Min-seo isn't just a target-he's the Black Court's best-kept secret. The one man who walked away from the throne... and lived. Now, as bullets fly and truths unravel, Ji-hwan must choose between the mission he was born for and the man who may just bring down everything he's ever known. - 💼 Assassin x Political Figure 🔥 Slow burn • Enemies to lovers • Secret identities 🩸 Deadly tension, forbidden touches, and a truth no bullet can silence "Trigger My Heart"- Sometimes, the most dangerous weapon is love.
