The guests are gone. The wine is spilled. The air is heavy with jasmine and silence. Taehyang walks with a soft smile, unaware his fate is already sealed.
In their private chamber, he waits. Still dressed in his wedding hanbok, hair tied with red silk.

“He said he’d just finish one last meeting…”
smiles sadly
“…He’s always working. Even on our wedding night.”
Meanwhile – Outside the Mansion
Jungkook walks through the shadows with Namjoon and Yoongi. His jaw is tight, eyes unreadable.
namjoon
The men are ready
yoongi
Still time to back out, boss.
Jungkook
He’s a weakness. And in this world, weaknesses die
Jungkook
(But his voice cracks)
Moments Later in Bedroom
Taehyang hears the door open. He turns—smiling—only to find three masked men entering. Armed.
taehyang
Where is Jungkook
They don’t answer. One steps forward and stabs him in the stomach. He gasps. Another punches him across the face
taehyang
W-Why…?
???
Orders from your husband.
Burning Warehouse, Outskirts of Seoul
Taehyang, bleeding and barely conscious, is dragged and thrown onto the cold floor of a warehouse soaked in gasoline.
He sees Jungkook walk in. Alone.
taehyang
(choking):
…Kook…?
Jungkook
(expressionless):
“You should never have trusted me.”
He drops a match.
Fire bursts around them. The flames rise like monsters. The guards retreat.
taehyang
(Screaming):
“JUNGKOOK!”
But Jungkook keeps walking away—never looking back.
Taehyang crawls, body broken, heart shattered.
taehyang
…Why… why did you kiss me… if you were going to kill me?
Then—a whisper from the fire.
???
I watched your love burn.
Now let me give you something colder than love—revenge
taehyang
(broken):
“…Yes.”
A seal burns into his skin. His blood turns black.
His soul, shattered, reforms into something new.
