Off The Menu | TAEKOOK [NEW]

"True love can't be ordered, but it can be found".

Jeon JungKook has an emergency plan for everything: high-society banquets, overbearing mothers, and an amicable four-year "lavender" pact with his best friend to keep their family dynastic expectations at bay. He reads the morning papers, memorizes conversational cheat-sheets, and knows exactly how to remain invisible in an expensive suit.

What he does not have an emergency plan for is Kim TaeHyung.

TaeHyung is everything JungKook is trained to avoid: an unapologetic bartender who drinks on the job, flexes his biceps without shame, and has spent the last forty-seven days systematically dismantling JungKook's sanity through unhinged Instagram DMs.

When an impulsive bus ticket lands JungKook three hundred kilometers away on TaeHyung's coastal turf, his mental operating system completely crashes. Between panic-sprints across freezing sand dunes, a chaotic family estate that treats him like royalty rather than an audit, and a quiet slice of chocolate cake lit at midnight, JungKook realizes the terrifying truth:

He spent his entire life studying the rules of the room, only to fall completely defenseless for the only person who never asked him to play a role.
