He believed everything had a price.
Except the heart of the person he was forced to marry.
Kim Taehyung, the ruthless CEO of Kim Industries, has spent his life believing that power is earned through wealth and that love is nothing more than another transaction.
Jeon Jungkook, an independent café owner balancing endless shifts while caring for his ailing mother, has never needed anyone's money-least of all his husband's.
"This marriage changes nothing."
"Good. I wasn't looking for anything from you."
Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, they share a house, a surname, and nothing else. Every conversation ends in conflict. Every silence grows heavier than the last.
Until the man who believed everything could be bought realizes the one thing he can never own... is the heart of his own wife.

String of devotion
When thunder meets a quiet melody, hearts have no choice but to listen. Kim Taehyung is loud, shamelessly bratty, and impossible to ignore, a walking storm of charm, arrogance, and mischief. His quick wit and foul mouth leave most people either laughing or fuming... sometimes both. But when a single violin note cuts through his world, it isn't his pride that's shaken, it's his heart. Jeon Jungkook, the gentle and soft-spoken youngest son of the Min family, has lived a life marked by shadows. His tragic past has carved silence into his soul, but through his violin, he speaks, each note carrying grief, hope, and all the words he never says out loud. The moment Taehyung hears that music, he's bewitched. Jungkook is nothing like the people Taehyung usually teases or chases and maybe that's why he can't look away. Between stubborn walls and stolen glances, between laughter and aching truths, Taehyung is determined to be the one to bring light into Jungkook's quiet world. But storms and melodies can either blend into harmony... or destroy each other completely. ---Complete

The relationship becomes a brutal dance of forced proximity, non-consensual possession, and psychological warfare, slowly blurring the lines between fear, revulsion, and dark desire. taekook book top tae bottom kook

The Winter between Us
Waking up from a four-month coma should have been Jeon Jungkook's biggest problem. It wasn't. His biggest problem was discovering that somewhere in the six years he doesn't remember, he apparently married his immortal enemy, Prince Kim Taehyung. The royal family that once hated Jungkook's existence now refuses to leave his side. His own friends-who spent years threatening to punch Taehyung on his behalf-have somehow switched teams and insist that Kim Taehyung is the best thing that ever happened to him. Even Taehyung's friends, a group of royals who once looked down on commoners, now fuss over Jungkook like he's their favorite person in the kingdom. None of it makes sense. Because Jungkook remembers the prince who bullied him. The prince who looked down on him. The prince he hated. What he doesn't remember are the six years that came after. The friendship. The love. The marriage. Jungkook remembers every reason he hates Taehyung. Taehyung remembers every reason Jungkook loved him. Jungkook is standing in autumn. Taehyung is waiting in spring. And between them lies six years of forgotten memories, a marriage hanging by a thread, and the winter between them. A Taekook ff by Mia

Taehyung (smiles softly, stepping closer and cupping Jungkook's face): Okay, Mrs. Kim, as you wish. (He leans in and places a gentle kiss on Jungkook's forehead, lingering for a moment as if sealing his promise.) Taehyung (in a low, warm voice): I'll be back before you even miss me, love. ______________ That evening... Taehyung: Yes, Kookie, just- Jungkook: Hyung... please save me... (his voice trembling with terror ) Taehyung: Hello? Jungkook... (he screamed in fear) But the line went silent. Only the cold echo of beep beep beep remained. Now, Taehyung isn't just a husband mourning his love. He is an officer on a mission. A mission to hunt down Jungkook's killer, no matter what it takes. But as he digs deeper into the shadows of the city, he realises... Is this really about revenge? Or are there secrets so dark, so twisted, that even he was never meant to uncover them...?
