Scars between us

Elara
She fell first - quietly, hopelessly, and with every beat of her heart.
Jeon jungkook
He fell harder - only too late to realize what he'd lost.
Kim Taehyung
Man who knows how to claim his things even if he breaks them

Elara and Jungkook were once inseparable - childhood best friends who shared everything but a confession.
Then he played a cruel game with destiny, and she walked away without looking back.

Years later, fate brings them together again - but not as they were.
Elara is no longer the girl who laughed under the stars with him; she's a woman, married, and holding a five-year-old child, with bruises she hides behind silence.

A wife trapped in a marriage that feels like punishment.

And Jungkook?
He's a man consumed by regret, desperate to protect the only person he's ever truly loved - even if she no longer belongs to him.

But he isn't the only man tied to her fate.

Kim Taehyung -
the husband the world admires,
the man Elara fears,
the storm she can never outrun.

He doesn't love gently.
He loves the way fire burns - fiercely, violently, without mercy.
To him, Elara isn't a person... she's possession, devotion, obsession tangled together.
And Taehyung doesn't let go of what's his -
not even if it breaks,
not even if it bleeds,
not even if the world tries to take her back.

Saving her means facing the past Jungkook ran from...
and the man who destroyed her.

Because love isn't always gentle.
Sometimes it comes too late.
Sometimes it comes to burn.
