“Was your playboy nature the reason you delayed the marriage with Mom? You just wanted to keep fucking around for the cameras, right? Keep selling that ‘untouchable’ lie while you cheated on her every chance you got?” The words slammed out of Jung-min’s mouth like a knife twist—sixteen years old and already bleeding hatred for the father he never really had. Jeon Jungkook. Global rock god. Leather-clad sex symbol. The tabloids’ favorite playboy prince for twenty fucking years. He fed them every scrap they wanted—manufactured scandals, half-naked photoshoots, women on his arm, rumors he planted himself. He wore the lie like armor. He told himself the shadows would protect his family. That if the world thought he was nothing but a reckless, heartless fuckboy, they’d never look close enough to find the wife and son he kept hidden. He was so goddamn wrong. The monster he created for the spotlight didn’t stay on stage. It crawled home. It hollowed him out. It turned the shield into a cage and slowly choked the life out of his family. When a violent airport scandal rips their lives apart, Jungkook chose the image. Again. He sold parts of their family’s dignity and love to protect the brand. Y/N, the woman who spent sixteen years dying in the shadows to maintain his image, finally snaps and walks out, taking their sixteen-year-old son with her. Now, the empire is collapsing. The agencies are weaponizing his wife’s name to save their stocks. His son hates the man he had to become. Jungkook is left alone in a massive, empty mansion, staring at the wreckage of a life he thought he was protecting. To get them back, he has to do the unthinkable: he has to kill himself - the icon. He has to kill the GLOBAL POPSTAR JEON JUNGKOOK. He has to tear down his own brand, burn his contracts, and face the world with his own scarred, imperfect face. But when you’ve spent half a lifetime lying to the world—and to yourself—is there anything real left to save? Can a man who sold his soul for fame ever learn how to be a father again? And if he burns his empire to the ground, will his family be still there, waiting for him to walk out of the ashes with him? Or would they have left him, tired of keeping up with his image?
