VOWS OF A BEAUTIFUL LIE (TaeKook) Prologue

Prologue

Taehyung has worn many masks in his life, busboy, delivery runner, makeup artist, cleaner

But a bride?

He never imagined the lace of a wedding veil would scratch like a noose around his neck

Outside the bridal room, the soft notes of the wedding match echoed faintly, growing louder heavier, like war drums. The cathedral was flooded with aristocrats, military brass, and media elite, all gathered to witness the union of two powerful lineages; the Lee and the Jeons

Only, the bride was gone

And Taehyung, in her place, was ready to lie to the world

He adjusted the silk gloves covering his calloused hands and stared at his reflection. Slim frame, sharp cheekbones, soft eyes, the result of years surviving on charm and shadows. A boy too delicate for a man, too weary for a boy

Lee jee eun had run away days before the ceremony. Panicking. Trapped in political marriage

Lady Lee jee eun/Tae's BFF

Please Taehyung, they will ruin us if I vanish. You are the only one who can do this... they have never met me

He didn't say yes out of friendship

He said yes because he didn't have a home. Because hunger taught him that dignity was luxury. Because for once someone needed him

Now he had to marry General Jeon Jungkook, a man he had never met, whose face had only seen on news reports, son of a military dynasty. Cold as iron

Taehyung clutched the bouquet tightly

Kim Taehyung/MC

" One step... just one step through those cathedral doors "

One beautiful lie to save them all

And maybe... destroy himself

~bye bye~
