Forced into an arranged marriage to salvage reputations, their union is anything but harmonious. Y/N blames Jungkook's family for her father's death, while Jungkook sees her as an unwanted disruption to his calculated life. Yet beneath the animosity lies an undeniable pull, a dangerous attraction neither can deny.
As their lives entwine further, Jungkook's protective instincts turn into a dark obsession, while Y/N battles her growing feelings for the man she should despise. Secrets, betrayal, and passion threaten to consume them both as they navigate a web of danger and forbidden love.
In a world where trust is fragile and love burns like embers, will they find solace in each other-or be consumed by their own obsessions?
