Ink & iron

"We are bound by ink, not by heart."
To the outside world, Jeon Jungkook and Y/N are the golden couple of the underworld-a match made in heaven between two powerful dynasties. But behind the reinforced gates of the Jeon mansion, the reality is a frozen silence.
Jungkook is a man of shadow and steel. As a ruthless CEO by day and a Mafia King by night, he has no room for sentiment. He treats his marriage like a merger: efficient, respectful, and completely devoid of emotion. He watches Y/N from a distance, confused by why his wife insists on ironing his shirts and cooking his meals despite a house full of staff. He tells himself she is just playing her part in the contract.
Y/N lives in a gilded cage, sharing a bed with a man who feels like a stranger. She maintains the household with a quiet grace, hiding her loneliness behind a polite smile for their parents and the paparazzi. She's convinced that Jungkook sees her as nothing more than a legal obligation-a line item on a balance sheet.
But as rivals begin to circle and family secrets threaten to tear their business empire apart, the "happy couple" must play their roles more convincingly than ever. In the world of the Mafia, any sign of weakness is a death sentence. To survive, they must protect each other. But how do you protect someone you aren't supposed to love?
In a house built on secrets and a marriage built on a contract, the hardest wall to break down isn't the one guarding the mansion-it's the one guarding Jungkook's heart.
