Bound by Vengeance - Bloodline I

The first rule of Janggi was simple- protect the king at all costs.

Namjoon had lived by that rule since he was fifteen, since the night his father's body turned cold. Every move he made, every piece he sacrificed, was to ensure one thing- his family's survival.

And now, Kim Seokjin was just another piece on his board.

The wedding wasn't a celebration. There were no flowers, no soft whispers of love. Just an exchange of rings under the dim glow of a chandelier, watched by men who carried guns instead of blessings.

Jin's face was unreadable, but Namjoon saw the defiance in his eyes. A king without a kingdom, a man forced into a game he never wanted to play.

But Namjoon wasn't looking for a willing groom. He was looking for revenge.

He leaned in close, his voice a quiet threat. "You owe me a big time, Seokjin"
Jin didn't flinch. He met Namjoon's gaze and whispered, "You're playing the wrong game, Namjoon. I'm not a piece-you just handed me the power to destroy you."

For the first time in years, Namjoon almost smiled.

Let the game begin.
