Five years after (Book 3 Embers of Us)
Jimin Park didn't survive five years of pain just to lose himself again.
He has everything now-power, control, a life built on his own terms, and two children who depend on him. The past is behind him.
Or at least... it was.
Jungkook is no longer the man who broke him.
But change doesn't erase damage-and remorse doesn't rebuild trust.
Now, forced into the same world again, Jimin sets one rule:
Distance. Boundaries. No second chances.
But some things refuse to stay buried.
A rising threat begins to circle everything Jimin has built-his company, his stability... his children. And for the first time, protecting them might mean working with the one man he swore he'd never trust again.
Jungkook says he's changed.
Says he'll wait.
Says he'll prove it.
But Jimin isn't the same man who once believed him.
Because this time-
love isn't enough.
Trust has a price.
And Jungkook is about to learn exactly what it costs.
