Description
CHECKMATE In a game of kings and pawns, love was the most dangerous move. Taehyung Kim was born to rule the shadows - the youngest of the feared Kim brothers, he hides a heart shattered by betrayal and a soul haunted by the ghost of a love that was never real. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable... until he crosses paths with a boy who bleeds danger and innocence in equal measure. Jungkook Jeon is a weapon - crafted by the hands of his monstrous father, raised to destroy the very man fate has bound him to. A pawn in a grand game he never chose to play, he's torn between vengeance and the unfamiliar warmth Taehyung ignites in him. But how do you love the man you were raised to hate? In a world of bloodlines and bullet holes, every smile hides a motive, and every touch could be a trap. Siblings become secrets. Friends become enemies. Lovers become executioners. And when the truth finally comes undone, the board is flipped - and someone will lose more than just the game. Because this isn't just about power. It's about pain. Legacy. And the final, fatal move. Love was never the endgame. But he still made it. His Checkmate.
