    Summary

    When Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jeongguk were little boys, they didn't care that one day they would inherit the country’s third most economically influential company. Everything was warm sunshine and cherry blossoms, scraped knees and bee stings.

    When they were teenagers, two things happened: they fell in love, and then tragedy struck, driving a wedge between them.

    Now in their mid twenties, they live two very different lives. They live in two different countries. And they haven't seen each other in years.

    When tragedy strikes again, the chaebol company they never wanted is suddenly dumped into their hands. Having just lost both of his parents, Jeongguk feels sentimental and thinks maybe he shouldn't throw away the company his father and grandfathers dedicated their lives to.

    Taehyung makes it clear he wants nothing to do with it. But when Jeongguk considers taking over the company alone, the board of directors produce an old legal document stating no heir of the company can be younger than 25.

    To avoid losing his stake in his family's company forever, Jeongguk has to either marry the senior board member who's been after his fortune since before he was born, or... marry the other heir, Kim Taehyung.

    Summary

    "Taehyung is the definition of flawed art and Jungkook is rebellion."

    Jeon Jungkook is in his last year, studying to be a filmmaker. He's career focused, smart, responsible but restless. In a country as religious as Korea, he has no contact with homosexuality until a string of coincidences bring him and his flatmate, Kim Namjoon, into another group of friends.

    Kim Taehyung is part of that group. The "missing friend", living in Milan, Italy where he works as a photographer. As Jungkook discovers his story, he finds himself more and more drawn to Tae. When they meet... another path beckons Jungkook, one he had never imagined in his life.
