MINE TO RUIN || KOOKV

A contract marriage was supposed to be simple.

No love.
No attachment.
No expectations.

Kim Taehyung agrees to marry Jeon Jungkook for protection and survival, trading his freedom for safety for himself and his fragile son. The rules are clear: stay obedient, stay invisible, don't get in the way. In return, he gets a roof over his head and a life with security.

But Jeon Jungkook isn't a savior.

He's cold. Calculated. Cruel in ways that don't leave bruises but still hurt just as deep. He doesn't raise his voice. He doesn't need to. His control is quiet, sharp, humiliating. And Taehyung, already broken by a past he refuses to remember too clearly, starts unraveling under the weight of it.

The house is beautiful.
The silence is terrifying.
The marriage is a prison.

Taehyung's trauma doesn't stay hidden for long. Panic attacks. Nightmares. Flinching at touch. Obedience that feels learned, not chosen. Jungkook notices. And for the first time, something about his "husband" doesn't add up.

So he digs.

What he finds is a past far darker than he expected.
And disturbingly... familiar.

As buried memories resurface, old names start to matter again, and a long-dead secret claws its way into the present. The line between victim and villain blurs. The truth twists everything Jungkook thought he knew about Taehyung- and about himself.

Because some marriages aren't just contracts.

Some are consequences.

And some people don't meet by accident.
