Bound By Blood || Taekook||

The kingdom prospered beneath a young king.

His rule was efficient, his judgments unforgiving, and his name travelled farther than ever. To the people, King Taehyung was not a man but a crown cold, untouchable, and bound by blood.

Far beyond the palace walls lived Jungkook, a village boy with no ambitions grander than keeping his mother alive.

When illness forces him to seek work in the capital, he finds employment not within courts or noble houses, but in the royal fields themselves.

Their worlds were never meant to meet.

Yet on one quiet evening beneath a fading sky, the king walks among his farmers to speak of harvests, and a boy with soil on his hands forgets to fear him.

One serves a kingdom.

One serves survival.

And somewhere between duty and desire, both will learn that some things cannot be ruled not even by a king.

Bound by blood.
