Chapter Text
Prologue
The Space Between Us
Before the scandal.
Before the silence.
Before the touch neither of them could take back.
There was a promise—unspoken, but deeply understood.
BTS came first. Always.
Everything else, everything personal, was a sacrifice to the altar of success.
Seokjin had always been the one to laugh the loudest and break the tension.
Namjoon had always been the one to lead, to think ten steps ahead.
They were both so good at pretending.
But somewhere between rehearsals and heartbreak, between long nights in separate rooms and glances that lingered too long—
The space between them changed.
It became charged.
Loaded with everything unsaid.
And once crossed, it would change everything.
This is not just a love story.
It’s about consequences.
About choices made in silence.
And the price of honesty when the world is watching.
