Not the story with a glass shoe and a prince charming.
This one has guns, bruised knuckles, and a mafia prince who doesn't believe in happy endings.
Jungkook isn't waiting for rescue - he's just trying to survive.
Trapped in a house full of monsters and silence, he's learned that kindness can be fatal and love isn't always gentle.
Then there's Kim Taehyung - golden boy of the university, heir to the kind of empire Jungkook wants nothing to do with. Cold, confident, untouchable. The type who gets everything he wants.
Except him.
"Skipping class again?" Taehyung's voice was smooth, low - the kind that slipped under the skin instead of just being heard.
"Didn't feel like it."
Footsteps. Slow. Closer.
"You never feel like it."
Jungkook's reflection met Taehyung's in the glass - two silhouettes, one calm, one trembling with something he couldn't name.
"What do you want, Taehyung?"
Taehyung stopped just behind him. "You."
The word hung there - not romantic, not tender. It was a challenge, a confession, a dare.
Taehyung smiled first, slow and dangerous. "You really don't know what you do to people, do you?"
Kim Taehyung doesn't understand emotions.
He knows how to run a company, how to make logical decisions, how to exist in a world that expects him to feel. But he doesn't. Not in the way others do.
The only person who has ever understood this is Jeon Jungkook.
Jungkook, the boy who has been by his side since childhood. Jungkook, the only one who doesn't expect Taehyung to be anything other than who he is. Jungkook, who has always felt too much, especially when it comes to Taehyung.
But Taehyung doesn't know what to do with feelings. And Jungkook, despite his patience, is starting to wonder if waiting for Taehyung to understand will only leave him broken.
"Hyung, what am I to you?"
"You're Jungkook."
"That's not an answer."
"It's the only answer I have."
