Episode 1: The King in Velvet and the Boy with Fire

NovelToon
Royal Crest University Founded in 1840. Home to heirs of the world’s most powerful families — corporate, political… and criminal
The black limousine rolled up to the Royal Crest gates like it owned the damn earth
A hush fell over the crowd gathered in the courtyard
New students craned their necks. Upperclassmen straightened their uniforms. No one dared speak
Even the birds seemed to stop mid-flight
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Stepped out of the car in silence)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG

Black velvet jacket. Crisp collar. Shoes that whispered power on the marble. Expression? Blank. Empty. Dangerous
A dark beauty sculpted by privilege, shadows, and secrets
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Didn’t glance at anyone. He didn’t need to)
And then—
Someone snorted
Out loud
Not just a snort—a full, disgusted scoff
All heads turned toward the source
A boy. milkey skin. Sharp jaw. Black earrings. Combat boots. Backpack slung like he didn’t give a single damn about legacy or appearances.
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Blew a gum bubble, popped it with a loud snap, and smirked)
Jeon Jungkook
Scholarship student. From Busan.
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Raised on fists, sweat, and the fire of injustice)
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Looks at taehyung)
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Lips twitching) And here I thought Royal Crest was a university, not a catwalk
Gasps rippled
Someone dropped their phone
A girl near the fountain let out a dramatic "oh my god."
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Finally looked up)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Eyes—dark brown. Cold)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(His stare hit Jungkook like ice)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(He walked forward.Graceful. Dangerous. Every step deliberate)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Stopped right in front of Jungkook)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Tilted his head) You talk quite a lot for someone so… common
The word fell like acid
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Blinked.Laughed softly)
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Stepped forward until their noses nearly brushed) Oh? And you dress quite a lot for someone so… insecure
Another gasp
Someone whispered, “He’s going to die.”
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Didn’t flinch)
But something—something flickered in his eyes
Amusement?
Intrigue?
Danger?
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Stepped back, straightened his jacket, and gave Jungkook a slow, cruel smile)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
I look forward to crushing you
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Smirk widened) I’d like to see you try

---
The East Hall auditorium was packed
Legacy House students were seated in the center — sons and daughters of CEOs, presidents, royal blood, and crime syndicates
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Sat with legs crossed, silent)
As Seokjin stood at the podium. He didn’t react when people stared at him. He didn’t smile

JUNGKOOK
(Took a seat three rows behind)
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
(Eyes burned holes into the back of Taehyung’s head)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Slowly turned)
Their eyes met
And for the first time, there was something real there
A flicker. Of curiosity. Or maybe fate.
Before anything could be said, the doors burst open
Gunshot
BANG
Screams
Chaos.
People hit the floor
Another gunshot
BANG
But no bullet struck Taehyung
No.

The shooter ran
Security swarmed

JUNGKOOK
(Gasped for air, coughing blood, eyes wide as Taehyung’s figure approached)
JUNGKOOK
JUNGKOOK
Why…(whispered) Wasn’t it meant for you…?
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(Knelt beside him)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
(He pulled off his velvet jacket and pressed it to Jungkook’s bleeding chest)
TAEHYUNG
TAEHYUNG
