The one he never chose
In a world cloaked in shadows and betrayal, Y/N stands as a silent sentinel to Taehyung's unraveling. He's broken, consumed by a love lost to ambition and deceit. But as his empire crumbles and his heart hardens, Y/N, the woman he overlooks, must choose: remain a forgotten shadow or become the unexpected light in his darkest hour. Can she mend a shattered man who doesn't believe he needs saving, or is she destined to be the one he never truly sees?
The air in Kim Taehyung's office was thick with the scent of stale whiskey and unspoken grief. Y/N stood silently, a witness to his slow unraveling.
He drained his glass, the sharp clink echoing in the dimly lit room, then reached for another bottle. The emptiness in his eyes, usually a cold shield, seemed deeper tonight, a chasm that threatened to swallow him whole.
Lia’s absence hung heavy, suffocating and unspoken. Y/N knew she shouldn't care, had told herself a thousand times, but it didn't stop her from standing there, a silent plea in her heart that he would just look her way.
"She'll come back," Y/N whispered, her voice barely a breath. A fragile hope, quickly shattered.
