Trigger My Heart

"I was trained to kill. He was born to rule. So why does my heart tremble when he smiles at me like he already knows how this ends?"

Choi Ji-hwan is known in the underground as Rook-a cold, efficient assassin working for the infamous Black Court, a shadowy organisation where rank is everything and loyalty is a death sentence.

His next mission? Eliminate Nam Min-seo: a rising political star disrupting systems too close to the Court's interests. It should've been easy. Clean. Silent.

But Min-seo looks him in the eye and says, "You're hesitating."

And Ji-hwan does. Again. And again.

What Ji-hwan doesn't know is that Min-seo isn't just a target-he's the Black Court's best-kept secret. The one man who walked away from the throne... and lived.

Now, as bullets fly and truths unravel, Ji-hwan must choose between the mission he was born for and the man who may just bring down everything he's ever known.
