    Summary

    He was never supposed to be part of their life.

    Kim Taehyung left home the day he refused to become someone else. Disowned for being gay, erased from family photos, reduced to a shame no one wanted to acknowledge. He survives quietly in Seoul—unfinished education, delivery shifts, small apartment, no one who stays long enough to love him properly.

    Once a year, his sister still meets him in secret.

    This year, she asks him to come to an elite restaurant. Not to sit with her—just to watch from afar. She wants him to see the man she’s going to marry.

    Jeon Jungkook.

    A respected doctor. Controlled. Respected. Strictly homophobic.

    Taehyung spends a month’s savings to look like he belongs for one night. From the corner table, he watches his sister walk in with her fiancé. They look perfect together. Happy. Untouchable.

    Jungkook doesn’t know the quiet man in the shadows is her disowned brother.

    He doesn’t know he already hates people like him.

    He doesn’t know that hatred, once it lingers too long on the same face, can change shape.

    Taehyung has survived being unloved.

    He is not prepared for what happens when he becomes wanted.
