Jeon Jungkook is the only son of the aging king, the crown prince and rightful heir to the throne. Kim Taehyung, the son of the kingdom's Minister, is his equal in almost every way, if not superior in some. Though both are skilled and admired, Taehyung possessed a sort of elegance that Jungkook lacked-a quality that has long earned the king's quiet favor.
This unspoken admiration from his father often leaves Jungkook unsettled. He feels a subtle insecurity, gnawing at him every time he witnesses Taehyung's effortless grace. There is something unusual about the Minister's son-something *otherworldly*.
Taehyung has an uncanny ability to excel at everything he attempts. Jungkook has seen him brush off death like it's an old friend, as if the very concept of mortality holds no power over him. Even against impossible odds-surrounded by hundreds of enemies-Taehyung would emerge victorious, perhaps with a scratch or two, but otherwise unscathed.
Jungkook often wonders if Taehyung possesses supernatural abilities, but he can never be sure. What he does know is that beneath the rivalry, the suspicion, and the allure of power, something far deeper stirs between them-a tension neither can ignore.
This is the story of two young men bound by fate, navigating a world of courtly intrigue, supernatural mysteries, and an attraction that neither can fully comprehend.

He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
