DECEPTION | TAEKOOK

Jeon Jungkook-once a mafia prince-has buried his past beneath the quiet walls of academia. Now a cold and emotionally repressed philosophy professor, he is trapped in a failing marriage to Kim Taemin-a man worshipped for his beauty and charm but infamous for his deceit and serial infidelity.

When Taemin vanishes to pursue a secret affair, he manipulates his soft-spoken, gentle identical twin brother, Kim Taehyung, into taking his place. Bound by guilt and years of emotional conditioning, Taehyung agrees, stepping into a life of silent suffering and marital detachment beside a man who resents him without ever truly knowing him.

But as Jungkook begins to sense subtle changes-unexpected tenderness, trembling fear, and haunting sadness-he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the man he believes is his cruel husband.

Taehyung, trapped in a web of lies he never chose, starts to feel the stirrings of a love he knows he can never claim, and, unaware of the deception, Jungkook begins to fall-slowly, unwillingly-for Taehyung's fractured vulnerability.

What begins as a simple deception of swapped identity soon spirals into something dangerously intimate-a war between truth and illusion, desire and guilt, and the agony of impossible choices. It is the story of two souls finding each other amidst pain, betrayal, and the ruins of everything they once believed.
