CHOOSE DARLING - TAEKOOK X READER

Choi Y/n has always been the light - bright, soft-hearted, naïvely hopeful. Her world is built on laughter, family dinners, and the tender kisses of her boyfriend, Jeon Jungkook - the boy she loves more than anything. But there are shadows in Jungkook's eyes she's chosen not to see... secrets she never dared to question.

Because the truth is too dangerous.

Jungkook isn't just the charming boy who brings her flowers. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Mafia - and he's killed for less than someone knowing. For years, he's kept Y/n in a world untouched by blood, unaware that every time he holds her, his hands are already stained red.

But innocence doesn't last forever.

When a cruel betrayal by her own family tears her world apart, Y/n is handed over like a pawn - forced into an arranged engagement with Kim Taehyung, heir to a rival empire built on corruption and control. Cold, manipulative, and dangerously intelligent, Taehyung makes one thing clear: she belongs to him now. Her past is over. Her choices are gone.

But hearts don't obey rules.

Jungkook won't let her go - not without a war. And Taehyung isn't willing to lose the one thing he wasn't supposed to want. Now, Y/n is caught in a brutal tug-of-war between two powerful men: one who loved her first, and one who wants to own her completely.

As obsession replaces romance and loyalty is drowned in lies, Y/n is forced to confront the dark truth - that love, in this world, comes with blood on its hands. And sometimes, the most dangerous men are the ones who would burn everything just to keep you.

Including you.
