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
Another silence fell and Jeongguk saw the man’s smile deepen, eyes dancing. “It’s often polite to ask for the other person’s name as well.”
Jeongguk’s cheeks flamed hotter, he started to fumble with his hands. “Right, of course,” he said, finally meeting the man’s gaze again. “Um… what’s your name?”

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.

Summary
Jeon Jungkook does not remember cheating on the love of his life.
He remembers a bar. A drink that tasted like metal. Legs that stopped working. A ceiling that spun the wrong way. He remembers waking up alone in a hotel room with no memory of the night before and assuming, as anyone would, that he'd drunk too much.
He does not remember the photos.
But the photos remember him. His face. His tattoos. His body in a hotel room he can't recall entering. Within hours, they are everywhere and the world decides, with the speed and certainty that only the internet can muster, exactly who Jeon Jungkook is.
His band looks at him and sees a cheater.
His family looks at him and sees a disgrace.
The person he loves most looks at him and sees a stranger.
And Jungkook — who has no memory to defend himself with and no one willing to defend him without one — starts to look in the mirror and see the same thing.
He was wrong about that too.
