Chapter 1 - Trained to be Silent

A twelve-year-old boy, Jeon Jungkook, survives each day in silence-enduring cruelty, starvation, and the cold indifference of a stepfather who treats him worse than an animal.

Just when life seems like nothing more than a long, dark tunnel, a man appears.

Kim Taehyung-24, powerful, ruthless, and the most feared mafia king in the country-storms into Jungkook's life and claims him in the name of protection. He rescues the boy from hell...but only to place him into a world he controls completely.

Jungkook is no longer beaten.

But he is owned.

Every breath,
Every step,
Every word

Taehyung controls it all.

He calls it safety.

He calls it protection.

But... is it really?

Or it is just a new kind of cage?
