King's Neglected Concubine (Taekook)
Hanuel kingdom
The Hanuel Kingdom—an empire kissed by sunlight and veiled in morning mist—stood as a symbol of grace and unmatched strength.
Nestled between snow-capped mountains and emerald valleys, it stretched far beyond the horizon, each province blooming with culture, order, and whispers of royal grandeur.
At its heart stood the Jeongheon Palace, a masterpiece carved from white stone and gold, surrounded by cherry blossom gardens that danced with petals in spring and burned red in autumn.
Inside its towering walls lived not just a monarch—but a man haunted by lineage.
King Kim Taehyung, the sovereign of Hanuel, was young, regal, and feared for his unshakable judgment.
Crowned at seventeen after his father's passing, he ruled with a cold hand but a heart slowly withering under the weight of expectation.
For seven years, he had been married to Queen Jisoo, a woman as beautiful as the moon and as graceful as falling snow.
Yet, no child had ever cried within the palace halls. No heir had ever been born.
This morning, like countless others, Taehyung stirred before dawn.
The room glowed with golden warmth. Curtains swayed gently as the soft breeze crept in through the carved windows.
Queen Jisoo lay beside him, her dark hair splayed over silk pillows, features serene and flawless.
He sat up quietly, fingers brushing through his hair, a silent sigh slipping past his lips.
His eyes lingered on her for a moment, then shifted to the small, sealed box resting on the table.
Last night, he had taken the enhancement elixir—a tonic prescribed in hushed voices by the royal physician, said to improve fertility chances.
Kim Taehyung - King
This time
He whispered to himself, staring at the ceiling,
Kim Taehyung - King
This time, let the gods show mercy.
He glanced at Jisoo again and gently brushed a strand of hair from her cheek.
She stirred lightly, eyes fluttering open.
Kim Jisoo - Queen
You're awake early,
Kim Taehyung - King
So are you..
Kim Taehyung - King
I couldn't sleep.
Kim Jisoo - Queen
You always look like you’re carrying the world when the sun rises
Taehyung didn't respond. Instead, he rose from the bed, wrapping his robe tightly around himself.
Breakfast was served in silence.
The tension was never spoken of, but it sat heavily between them.
It always did after nights of duty, not passion.
