For twenty-two years, Kim Taehyung has carried the same hatred
Jeon Jungkook destroyed his family.
At least that's what he's always been told
Taehyung grew up hearing the same story from the people he trusted most: the Jeon family was responsible for everything his family lost, and Jungkook was the worst of them
So when Taehyung finally meets him, he expects a monster
Instead he finds a man who seems to hate him just as much
Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving
And unfortunately, the one man Taehyung is being forced to marry
Their marriage isn't a beginning.
It's a battlefield.
But there's one thing neither of them knows—
The story they've both been told is a lie.
Chapter-01
The first thing Kim Taehyung learned about hatred was that it could survive anything
That was a long he carried it
Twenty-two years of hearing the same name spoken like a curse inside his house
Taehyung had never met him
But he knew enough.
He knew Jungkook was the son of the man who had destroyed his family.
He knew his father had lost everything because of the Jeons.
He knew his mother cried whenever the old photographs came out.
And most importantly—
he knew he was supposed to hate him.
So Taehyung did.
At least, he tried.
Taehyung's cousin
Stop staring at the gate
Taehyung blinked and looked away.
His fingers tightened around the sleeve of his black suit.
Kim Taehyung
I'm not staring
Taehyung's cousin
You've been staring for ten mints
Taehyung's cousin
That's worse
The enormous iron gates of the Jeon estate stood several meters away, guarded by men dressed in black.
Tonight wasn't a celebration.
It wasn't a wedding.
Not yet.
It was a negotiation.
A negotiation that would decide Taehyung's entire future.
And he specially hated the fact that his father told him to behave
Taehyung had never been good at behaving
He was stubborn too stubborn according to everyone around him
But underneath all that stubbornness was something his family often overlooked.
Taehyung was soft.
He trusted people too easily.
He believed apologies.
He believed promises.
And despite everything he'd heard about the Jeons, a tiny part of him still wondered whether there was more to the story.
He hated that part of himself
The black car enter the doorway
Taehyung's heart beat changed
The car stopped the back door opened

Chapter:02
Taehyung had imagined this moment countless times.
He'd imagined Jungkook looking cruel.
Maybe even monstrous.
But reality was somehow worse.
Jungkook looked completely calm.
Dressed entirely in black, he stepped out of the car with an expression that revealed absolutely nothing.
His eyes swept across the gathering.
Neither moved.
Neither spoke.
Something about Jungkook's stare made Taehyung's confidence falter for half a second.
Then Taehyung lifted his chin.
Jungkook's expression changed almost imperceptibly.
Almost amused.
He walked toward him.
One step.
Two.
Three.
Until he was standing directly in front of Taehyung.
His vwive was colder than Taehyung think
Jeon Jungkook
You're Kim Taehyung
Kim Taehyung
And you're Jeon Jungkook
Kim Taehyung
The why ask??
A few people around them exchanged uncomfortable glances.
Jungkook stared at him.
Then he leaned slightly closer.
Jeon Jungkook
You're exactly as troublesome as they said
Kim Taehyung
And you're exactly as arrogant as I expected
For the first time, something flickered across Jungkook's face.
Not anger.
Something darker.
Taehyung refuse to step back
Kim Taehyung
why?? Are you going to do smthng
Jungkook looked directly into his eyes
Taehyung's stomach dropped.
Before he could answer, his father's voice cut through the tension.
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
Enough
Both men turned.
Their families stood facing one another.
Nobody smiled.
Nobody looked happy.
Because everyone in that room knew why they were there.
This wasn't a marriage born from love.
It wasn't even born from peace.
It was a deal.
A marriage between two families that had spent years trying to destroy one another.
Taehyung stared at his father
Kim Taehyung
You are serious??
Tae's father didn't answer
Kim Taehyung
You can't seriously expect me to marry him
Jungkook's eyes remained fixed on him.
Taehyung pointed toward him.
Jungkook raised an eyebrow
Jeon Jungkook
That man is standing right there
Jeon Jungkook
I don't care
Kim Taehyung
And I will never forgive your family
Kim Taehyung
And I will never_"
Jeon Jungkook
You'll marry me anyway
Taehyung froze.
His father's silence confirmed it.
The room suddenly felt too small.
Taehyung looked at Jungkook again.
For the first time, the hatred he'd carried for years felt real.
Not imagined.
Not inherited.
Real.
Because this man was going to become his husband.
And Taehyung would rather face every enemy his family had ever made than spend a single day belonging to Jeon Jungkook.
He didn't know it yet.
But that marriage would destroy everything he thought he knew.
Including the reason he'd spent his entire life hating Jungkook.
And one day—
he would discover that the person he had been preparing to hate...
was never the person who had ruined his family at all.
Taehyung didn't sleep that night.
Not because he was afraid.
At least, that's what he kept telling himself.
He sat beside the enormous bedroom window of his family's estate, still wearing the clothes he'd worn to the Jeons' house.
His father's words kept replaying in his head.
YOU'RE MARRYING JEON JUNGKOOK
No.
Absolutely not.
Taehyung wasn't going to let them decide his entire life for him.
He stood abruptly and walked downstairs.
The house was unusually quiet.
Too quiet.
He saw his father sitting alone in the study
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
You're awake
Kim jae-hyun didn't look up at him from paper
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
No
Kim Taehyung
Then I'll leave
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
You won't
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
You don't understand what you're dealing with
Kim Taehyung
I understand perfectly
Taehyung's stepped closer
Kim Taehyung
ou want to trade me to the Jeons to settle some stupid family problem
His father's expression's hardened
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
It's not a trade
Kim Taehyung
Then what is it
Taehyung's laughs bitterly
He turned toward the door
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
You are not leaving
He stopped his father's voice changed
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
There are people watching this family. If this marriage doesn't happen, the agreement protecting us disappears
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
So your fam loses everything
Kim Taehyung
And if I Martty him??
Tae's father:Kim jae-hyun
You'll have a future
Kim Taehyung
Future with him???
before his father a voice came from behind
Taehyung froze.
He knew that voice.
Slowly, he turned.
Jungkook stood in the doorway.
Taehyung's eyes widened.
Kim Taehyung
What are you doing here????
Jungkook ignored the question.
His eyes moved toward jae-hyun.
Jeon Jungkook
The agreement has been signed
Taehyung looked between them
Kim Taehyung
You signed it???
Jaehyun said nothing something inside Tae cracked he looked at Jungkook
Kim Taehyung
You knew ts entire time
Taehyung stepped toward himw
Kim Taehyung
You could've stopped this
Jeon Jungkook
Why would I??
Kim Taehyung
Bcoz you hate me
Kim Taehyung
Then why marry me
Jungkook looked at him for secs
Jeon Jungkook
because sometimes revenge is more satisfying when your enemy has nowhere left to run
