Chapter 1 â âPorcelain Girl, Bulletproof Worldâ
The wind whispered through the narrow alleyways of the quiet city.
Inside her warm little room tucked above a flower shop, Y/N sat by the window, chin resting on her knees, watching raindrops race down the glass. Her world was smallâsoft edges, warm smiles, a motherâs lullaby still humming in her head even at nineteen.
Her parents protected her like she was made of porcelain.
Because she was.
Delicate.
Sheltered.
Unaware of the monsters lurking just beyond her safe world.
Across the cityâ
A bullet sliced through silence.
And Kim Taehyungâthe name feared and worshippedâwiped blood off his hand like it was nothing more than spilled wine.
He was beautiful in the way storms were. Controlled. Until they werenât.
> âNo mercy,â he said, stepping over the man who begged on his knees. âHe talked. Now he wonât.â
Taehyung didnât flinch. He never did.
In the shadows of power, he was king.
But even kings bledâ
And Taehyung bled anger.
đ Two Worlds. One Collision.
Y/Nâs life was soft pastels, late-night baking, her fatherâs protective arms, and fairy tales she still secretly believed in.
Taehyungâs was smoke, sirens, leather gloves, and rules carved in blood.
They shouldâve never met.
But fate has sharp claws.
And when a debt her family didnât know about spiraled out of controlâŠ
Her name ended up on a list.
A name Taehyung would come to know.
> âWho is this girl?â he asked, fingers curled around the photo. âInnocent,â someone replied. âUntouched. The daughter of the man who owes us.â
A smirk curled on his lips.
> âLetâs see how long she stays innocent.â
đ€ Final Line:
He saw her onceâacross the street, flowers in hand, smile untouched by darkness.
And something strange flickered in his chest.
But Taehyung didnât do soft.
And she?
She didnât yet know what it meant to be owned.
