Taehyung is the epitome of calm, a towering, stoic architecture student who values peace and order above all else. His quiet life is constantly derailed by Jungkook, a short, incredibly sassy, and relentlessly flirty bad boy who has made ruining Taehyung's day his personal mission. To the campus, Jungkook is a chaotic menace; to Taehyung, he is an infuriating enigma who hides a desperate, secret love behind sharp-tongued teasing. The delicate balance of their enemies-to-lovers dynamic shatters when Jungkook falls violently ill. Stripped of his tough-guy armor, a terrified Jungkook breaks down crying at the clinic, horrified of a simple needle. Clinging to Taehyung like a helpless baby koala, he reveals his vulnerable, fragile core. Suddenly, Taehyung's calm facade cracks. Confronted with the raw pain behind the bad boy's bravado, he must navigate his own fear of intimacy to protect the boy who has secretly loved him all along.
