Summary
Jeon Jungkook has spent years pretending to be human. It’s easier that way.
Humans fear witches, witches despise weakness, and Jungkook has been called weak for as long as he can remember. Covenless and alone after being cast out years ago, he moved to Seoul for a fresh start, hiding his magic while surviving school, a tiny apartment, and the loneliness that comes with being a witch no one wants.
A rune witch.
While other witches wield destructive elemental magic, teleportation, curses, or time manipulation, Jungkook dedicates himself to ancient rune magic, a slow, complicated discipline most witches consider useless. So he keeps his head down, hides his runebook, and makes sure no one ever discovers what he really is.
Then one night, an injured witch crashes into his apartment.
Unfortunately for Jungkook, that witch is Park Jimin of the Bangtan Coven, one of the most powerful covens in South Korea. So things end up getting a bit more complicated than he would like.

Summary
Soulmates are treasured in society - prized, celebrated, even idolized. But for BTS, now a collective of six successful, fiercely bonded lovers, soulmates were never a part of the equation. They had each other. That was and will always be enough.
Until Jungkook appears.
A quiet, exhausted university student barely holding his life together. A graphic design major juggling three jobs, the crushing weight of becoming someone and a secret. When Hoseok touches him by accident on a rainy afternoon, the unmistakable flare of a soulmate bond ignites - it is soft, beautiful and terrifying.
Hoseok feels it. So does Jungkook.
But love, even when written in the stars, is not always welcome.

Summary
King Namjoon’s voice remains calm, steady, a king addressing his nation.
“It is with profound sadness that we must inform the nation that yesterday, the individual meant to become the Seventh Monarch has passed away before ever being able to take their rightful place among the Seven.”
Jungkook watches the man, the First Monarch of his nation, deliver the words he'd wanted to hear more than anything. The TV crackles with the deafening silence on the palace's plaza.
Jungkook smiles.
They made it.
He's officially declared dead.
~~
or; Four years ago, Jeon Jungkook chose freedom over the crown. While the nation mourned the death of the Seventh Monarch, Jungkook gained the life he's always wanted for himself. Now living rather quietly as a normal art student, he has no intention whatsoever of returning to the world he'd just barely avoided.
Unfortunately, fate itself - and six very persistent monarchs - seem to have missed the memo.

Navigating his relationship with the coven feels like he’s stumbling around blind.

And it turns out that Byungho wasn’t the only butcher at the Greyhill Academy after all. Something bigger is in the play, and if Jungkook isn’t careful, the choices about his future will be taken out of his hands.
