    Summary

    The Whispers & Wonders Exchange provides the service of secret pawning for a fair price. It is a lucrative business, beneficial for both the pawner and the broker: by pawning their whisper, the customer relieves themselves of the burden of their secret, which the broker can then sell, should the loan not be repaid and the whisper reclaimed in due time. As the only secret broker in Seoul, Taehyung is certain that no whisper can be more gruesome, peculiar, or scandalous than the ones he already owns.

    That is, until chaebol successor Jeon Jeongguk walks into his shop, hoping to pawn his whisper — a secret so monumental, he asks to pawn it in seven installments, one piece of the secret for each year he kept it.

    Summary

    “And what reason would you have to distrust me then?” Taehyung asks, head tilting to the side as he nears Jungkook. Jungkook immediately thinks of how Taehyung had felt pressed against him, and he wonders if Taehyung will keep coming closer until he is again. “My family favors you. Even if I wanted to get you in trouble, which I do not, they would know I was lying. The only reason I would turn against you is if you turn against them. You are the one with a brain full of secrets, Commander.”

    “And you are the one with the power of manipulation."

    Taehyung furrows his brows. It isn’t anger or amusement on his face. “Excuse me?”

    “Your magic makes you alluring, Your Highness, and you use that to your favor.”

    There is a twitch in Taehyung’s lips. “My magic makes me alluring.” He repeats it as if he is confused, but his tone is loud with humor. “I have been called that many times, Commander, but most people don’t use my magic as an excuse for thinking so.”
