THE BILLIONAIRE'S SANCTUARY (Taekook)
Chapter 1: The Birthday Sabotage
Kim Taehyung sat alone at the massive dining table. A small chocolate cake sat in front of him, its single candle melting down into a puddle of wax.
Today was his twenty-fifth birthday, and he had spent the last three hours waiting for his husband of seven years, Minjae.
Taehyung sighed, pulling his oversized sweater tighter around his small frame. He was used to this. Over the past year, Minjae had become distant, always working late or leaving for sudden business trips.
The silence of the penthouse was broken by the sharp buzz of Taehyung’s phone. His heart leaped as he answered quickly.
Kim Taehyung/MC
"Minjae? Are you on your way home?"
Minjae
"Taehyung, I can't make it,"
Minjae’s voice sounded rushed, with a strange, muffled background noise that sounded like soft music and laughter.
Minjae
"An urgent merger came up in Jeju. I’m already at the airport. Don't wait up for me."
Kim Taehyung/MC
"Oh... I see," Taehyung murmured, his throat tightening. "But today is my—"
Before he could finish, the line went dead. Taehyung lowered the phone, staring blankly at the wall.
Meanwhile, miles away in a luxury presidential suite in Jeju, Minjae tossed his phone onto a plush bed. He didn't look guilty at all. A handsomely built man, Minjae only cared about status and power.
Turning around, he smiled as a beautiful, sharp-eyed woman named Seoyeon walked out of the bathroom wearing a silk robe. She was Minjae’s secretary.
Soyeon/Minjae's Secretary
"Was that your boring little husband?" Seoyeon purred, wrapping her arms around Minjae’s neck.
Minjae
"Don't worry about him," Minjae smirked, pulling her close. "He’s clueless. This weekend is just for us."
Back home, Taehyung blew out the candle in the dark. He didn't know it yet, but his quiet life was about to shatter completely.

Chapter 2: The Anniversary Intrusion
Three weeks later, it was their seventh wedding anniversary. Taehyung wanted to surprise Minjae. He had spent the afternoon cooking Minjae’s favorite meals and even bought a beautiful new silk shirt to wear.
Hoping to catch his husband before he left the office, Taehyung decided to come home early. He unlocked the front door of their apartment, a soft smile on his lips.
Kim Taehyung/MC
"Minjae? I’m home early!" he called out.
There was no answer, but Taehyung noticed a pair of high-heeled red shoes thrown carelessly on the living room rug. His smile faded. A terrible, heavy feeling grew in his stomach as he walked down the hallway toward their bedroom. The door was cracked open.
Moans and soft laughter echoed from inside.
Taehyung pushed the door open. His world stopped. Minjae and Seoyeon were tangled together in the very bed Taehyung slept in every night.
Soyeon/Minjae's Secretary
"Ah! Minjae!"
Seoyeon gasped, pretending to be shocked as she pulled the blanket up, though a malicious smirk danced on her lips.
Minjae rolled over, looking annoyed rather than guilty. He stood up, slowly putting on his robe. He looked at Taehyung as if Taehyung were nothing but trash on the street.
Minjae
"What are you doing here so early?" Minjae asked coldly.
Minjae
"Well, since you’re here, it saves me the trouble. I want a divorce, Taehyung. I’m tired of your plain, boring face. Seoyeon is the one who belongs by my side now."
Taehyung stood frozen, his heart shattering into a million pieces. The man he had loved since childhood was looking at him with nothing but disgust.

Chapter 3: The Cold Rain
The harsh words of the divorce demand still echoed in Taehyung’s ears as he ran out of the apartment building. He didn't even grab a coat.
He had nothing but his small leather purse clutched tightly against his chest. Tears streamed down his face, burning hot against his skin before being washed away by the sudden, violent downpour of rain.
The sky had turned a dark, bruised purple. Lightning flashed overhead, illuminating the slick city streets. Taehyung walked blindly, his breath coming in ragged, painful gasps.
How could Minjae do this? Seven years of devotion, seven years of trying to be the perfect husband, all thrown away for his secretary.
Taehyung sobbed into the empty street, his feet aching inside his wet shoes. The emotional pain was so heavy it felt physical, like a crushing weight on his chest.
He reached a busy intersection just as a strong gust of wind blew across the avenue. Already weak, dizzy from crying, and shivering violently from the freezing cold rain, Taehyung lost his balance. His foot slipped on the wet asphalt.
With a low gasp, he collapsed onto the road. Through his blurry, tear-filled vision, he saw two bright, piercing headlights coming fast through the sheets of rain.
A large, sleek, black limousine screeched to a halt, stopping just inches away from his fallen body. Taehyung lay there on the cold ground, too exhausted and heartbroken to even move.
