Sin Fantasy | **Jikook**
"I know it's wrong-to desire what isn't mine, to crave what belongs to another. But I do. I always have. God may call it a sin, but I have long stopped seeking salvation. In this life, there is no second chance, no rebirth-only now, only this. If love must be selfish, then let me be the sinner. My love is enough for both of us... even if I have to take you by force."** **Author's Note:** Dear readers Welcome to Sin Fantasy. This is not a typical love story. It is a tale of obsession, forbidden desires, and a love that defies morality. This story contains dark themes, psychological turmoil, possessive love, and morally gray characters. If you are looking for a soft, wholesome romance, this may not be for you. But if you crave a story where love turns into sin, where passion borders on madness, and where the line between right and wrong blurs-then step into Jungkook's world. Read at your own risk. Once you enter, there's no turning back.

That's comparable to reading Twilight. - This book contains a slow to medium burn love story. - The love interest is introduced in the first chapter. - This book contains explicit content. - There are generated illustrations throughout every chapter. - I won't ever put a picture of what the main love interest looks like to not ruin your own imagination of him.
