Ashes of Us
prologue
The night sky burned red as the world fell apart.
Jungkook stood in the hospital hallway, fists clenched, knuckles split from where he’d punched the wall. His suit was stained — not with his own blood, but hers.
Yuna’s.
His sister lay motionless in the ICU, machines breathing for her, her eyes closed like she was just sleeping. Peaceful. Too peaceful. Almost like death.
He was born into silence, raised by shadows, and crowned in blood.

Jeon Jungkook—mafia king, billionaire, and protector of the only family he has left—rules his world with cold precision and iron walls. His heart is locked beneath years of betrayal, scars too deep to name, and memories too cruel to forget.
But when the light in his life—his younger sister, Yuna—is dragged into a tragedy too brutal to bear, his grief twists into fury. And his revenge finds its mark.
Kim taehyung (Mc)
Kim Taehyung: the gentle-hearted art student with stardust in his eyes and a past hidden behind quiet smiles, becomes the pawn in a war he never asked for.
A forced marriage.
A cruel game of punishment.
And a love neither of them saw coming.
But love is fragile in a world built on broken promises.
And when the truth begins to bleed through the lies,
when betrayal and guilt collide with the stirrings of something softer-
Will they survive each other,
or fall beneath the ruins they both carry?
This is a story of vengeance and vulnerability, of scars that ache and hearts that heal.
A story where revenge ignites, love burns slow, and forgiveness comes with a price.
Introduction
jeon jungkook
• Mafia king and billionaire CEO
• Cold, ruthless, obsessively possessive.
• Anger issues
He doesn’t trust easily. He doesn’t forgive.
And love?
He doesn’t believe in it —
The man who turned pain into power, and love into punishment.
A 26-year-old billionaire and the ruthless head of an underground empire.
On paper, he owns businesses.
In shadows, he owns fear.
With a tragic past buried in secrets— Jungkook became a man who trusts no one, loves no one, and forgives nothing.
He has a younger sister, Yuna, and a little brother.
To the world, he is untouchable. Cold. Calculated.
To himself, he is a man with unfinished war in his blood.
And when pain comes for what little he still claims as his,
his grief twists into fury — and his revenge strikes without mercy.
But what he doesn’t expect
is that quiet can undo rage.
That light can live even in the darkest rooms.
That a boy with trembling hands
could teach him what it means to burn…
