"Behind Cold Eyes" (taekook)

Title: "Behind Cold Eyes"

​To the rest of Seoul National University, Professor Jeon Jungkook is an untouchable fortress. Brilliant, impossibly young, and striking to look at, he is equally famous for his icy demeanor and absolute refusal to let anyone step close to him. He doesn't smile. He doesn't make eye contact. And above all else-no one is permitted to touch him.

​To twenty-two-year-old student Kim Taehyung,
Professor Jeon is the center of his universe.
​For three years, Taehyung has kept his love a silent secret, content to admire the cold professor from the back row of his lecture hall. He knows the rumors surrounding Professor Jeon's arrogance, but Taehyung sees what others miss: the subtle tremors, the guarded panic, and the deep, silent exhaustion hidden behind those dark, starry eyes.

​Taehyung never expected his quiet, unrequited crush to amount to anything-until an urgent family arrangement changes everything overnight.
​Bound together by a marriage born of duty, Taehyung finds himself living under the same roof as the man he worships. But behind closed doors, Taehyung quickly realizes that Professor Jeon's cold exterior isn't arrogance at all-it's a wall built to protect a soul that is deeply, painfully fragile.

​In a home built on silence, gentle boundaries, and unsaid words, how long can a secret love wait for a heart that has forgotten how to feel safe?

​"I don't need you to open the door today. I'll just stay on this side until you're ready."

​Ultimate Green Forest Taehyung 🌿
