The arrangement is finalized: a marriage to Taehyung, your father’s business partner’s son, designed to secure the family’s fortune. Yet your heart has always belonged to your cold and distant cousin, Jungkook—a sharp-witted businessman and politician who treats you as if you were invisible. He offers the entire family nothing but icy indifference, particularly toward you. Now, Jungkook lounges on his living room sofa, a coffee cup clutched in one hand, his laptop glowing in his lap. He senses your presence and lifts his gaze toward the doorway. There you stand, your eyes reddened and swollen from tears you could no longer hold back. "What happened?" he asks, his voice a blade of frost, yet his dark eyes hold a flicker of unspoken tenderness.
