Marked in Bruise

by namindesuu

Summary:

When quiet, artistic transfer student Kim Taehyung steps into the halls of Seoul Elite High, he catches the eye of Jeon Jungkook basketball captain, golden boy, and the most dangerous person in school.
What starts as cruel bullying quickly spirals into something darker: blackmail, forced touches, public humiliation, and a claim so possessive it leaves Taehyung broken and isolated. Jungkook wants him. Owns him. Ruins him.
But obsession is a double-edged blade. The more Jungkook breaks Taehyung, the more he cracks himself open revealing scars, guilt, and a desperate need he can’t name.
As the lines between hate and want blur, between pain and protection, between monster and man, Taehyung has to decide: run while he still can… or stay and see if the boy who destroyed him can learn how to love him instead.
A dark high school bully romance that starts vicious and cruel, then slowly painfully, beautifully turns into healing, redemption, and soft domestic fluff.
Heavy noncon/dubcon in early chapters. Eventual consensual smut, mutual pining, protective Jungkook, hurt/comfort, and a hard-won happy ending.
