BEFORE YOU ENTER THIS WORLD...

First of all, thank you for opening my very first novel story.

SURVIVE

- His last sin

(Trailer)

“Strip."

Taehyung’s breathing turned uneven instantly.

“No.”

The answer came out shakier than she wanted, but the hatred inside her eyes never disappeared.

Jungkook sat silently on the leather chair across the room, one hand resting against his jaw while the other slowly reached for the gun beside him.

Click.

The sound alone made fear crawl violently down her spine.

Taehyung stepped backward immediately. Jungkook—

“Five.”

His voice remained calm.

Too calm.

He stood slowly, loading the gun without taking his eyes off her once.

“Four.”

Her chest tightened painfully.

“You’re insane…”

“Three.”

Taehyung’s breathing started shaking harder as he raised the weapon toward her.

“You won’t do it.”

Jungkook tilted his head slightly.

“Two.”

The room suddenly felt too small.

Too quiet.

Fear finally cracked through her expression the moment his finger settled against the trigger.

“Wait—”

Bang.

The bullet hit the wall beside her thigh close enough to tear a scream from her throat as she collapsed backward onto the floor.

Pain burned across her skin where the bullet grazed her.

Jungkook didn’t react.

Not to her crying.

Not to the trembling.

Not even to the terror finally breaking through her stubbornness.

He simply walked toward her slowly before crouching in front of her.

Calm.

Always calm.

Taehyung tried pulling away instantly, panic wrecking through her chest.

Jungkook caught her jaw before she could move farther.

His dark eyes locked onto hers.

Cold.

Steady.

Merciless.

“I’m not the kind of villain that begs for love,” he said quietly.

His thumb brushed the tears beneath her eye almost mockingly.

“I’m the kind people pray they never meet.”

Taehyung’s lips trembled violently.

“If you disobey me again…” Jungkook’s voice lowered slightly.

“The lesson becomes something even you won’t survive.”

Silence.

Then another flash—

Taehyung screaming while struggling violently in Jungkook’s grip as he dragged her through the dim underground hallway.

“Please! LET ME GO!”

The massive steel doors opened slowly in front of them.

Water reflected darkly beneath the low lights.

Deep.

Endless.

Taehyung froze the moment she saw movement beneath the surface.

A shark circled slowly inside the enormous tank.

Her heartbeat stopped.

“No…”

For the first time that night—

real panic shattered completely across her face.

Jungkook released her hard enough for her to stumble onto the wet floor near the edge of the tank.

Taehyung immediately tried crawling backward.

“I can’t swim—”

“I know.”

The answer came emotionlessly.

That terrified her more.

The shark moved beneath the water again.

Slow.

Controlled.

Waiting.

Taehyung’s breathing became hysterical as tears streamed down her face. “Please… please don’t do this…”

Jungkook stood silently above her while smoke curled from the cigarette between his fingers.

Watching.

Observing.

Detached.

Like her fear was simply another thing he expected obedience from.

“You keep confusing mercy with weakness,” he said calmly.

Taehyung sobbed harder.

“Jungkook please—”

“Learn the difference.”

Then suddenly—

his hand shoved against her shoulder.

Taehyung’s scream echoed violently through the room as she fell into the freezing water below.

Darkness swallowed her instantly.

Pain.

Panic.

The sound of water crashing around her as she fought desperately to stay above the surface.

Somewhere above—

Jungkook watched her struggle from the edge of the tank.

Expressionless.

The shark continued circling beneath her.

Waiting for a command that never came.

_____ End.

This story is not soft.

It is not healthy.

And it is definitely not written to comfort you.

Inside this world, monsters wear expensive suits, love feels like possession, and survival is more important than morality.

Every character in this story carries darkness within themselves. Some hide it behind gentle smiles, while others proudly drown in it.

There are no heroes here.

Only hunters.

Prey.

And people trying to survive long enough not to become either.

So before entering this world

Leave your expectations of fairytale romance behind.

And welcome to the darker shade of red.

Some scenes are intentionally disturbing.

Some characters will make you uncomfortable.

Some moments are meant to feel wrong.

And that is the point.

If you are searching for green flags, healthy communication, or soft romance - close this book now.

Because this story does not begin with love.

It begins with women being watched.

Chosen.

Owned.

Welcome to the darker shade of red.

Welcome to maroon.
