Beneath the Gumetal Sky
beginning of the tragedy
SCENE 1(The room buzzes with low chatter and clinking glasses. Chandeliers cast golden light over the masked crowd. Jungkook stands at the edge of the ballroom, dressed in a sleek black suit, his wolf-shaped mask hiding his sharp gaze. The protagonist y/n enters, wearing a deep red gown and a fox-shaped mask.)
jeon jungkook
Another pawn on board. how predictable.
y/n
(Approaches, glass of wine in hand)
And yet, here you are, standing still like the King waiting to fall.
jeon jungkook
(Turns to face them, smirking behind his mask)
Clever words for someone out of their depth. You’re playing a dangerous game y/n
y/n
(takes a sip of wine, eyes locking with his)
A game you started. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a little competition.
(Their banter continues, sharp and cutting, but there’s an undercurrent of mutual intrigue. The tension grows as the music swells, their conversation ending with Jungkook leaning closer)
jeon jungkook
Enjoy your evening, fox. But be careful—sometimes predators hunt in packs
y/n
(smiles knowingly)
And sometimes, the fox outsmarts the wolf
SCENE 2 (A few nights later. Y/N’s family leads an ambush against Jungkook’s group, but things go awry. Y/N is cornered and brought to Jungkook’s base, their wrists tied. Jungkook steps into the dimly lit room, his expression cold and calculating.)
jeon jungkook
(examines Y/N from head to toe)
Didn’t expect to see you here, Y/N. Guess the fox wasn’t as clever as they thought.
y/n
(glares, unbothered)
If I knew you’d be the one to catch me, I would’ve run faster.
jeon jungkook
(leans against the table, arms crossed)
Bold words for someone tied up in enemy territory. Should I be impressed or concerned?
y/n
(smirks)
Depends. Are you impressed?
jeon jungkook
(pauses, eyes narrowing)
...You’re lucky I find you entertaining. Otherwise, you wouldn’t still be breathing.
(He steps closer, their faces mere inches apart. Y/N doesn’t flinch, holding his gaze. The air crackles with tension.)
y/n
If you’re going to kill me, get it over with. Or are you afraid of what I might say?
jeon jungkook
(softly, but dangerously)
Afraid? No. Curious? Maybe. You intrigue me, Y/N. And I hate being intrigued by my enemies.
[Scene 3: The Alliance – Trust and Sparks]
(After uncovering a mutual betrayal, Jungkook and Y/N are forced to work together. They sit in a quiet hideout, patching up wounds after a narrow escape. Y/N presses a cloth to Jungkook’s arm, their movements precise.)
y/n
(Focused)
You’re lucky I didn’t let you bleed out.
jeon jungkook
(chuckles softly)
And you’re lucky I didn’t leave you behind. Funny how trust works, isn’t it?
y/n
(raises an eyebrow)
This isn’t trust. It’s survival. Don’t get any ideas.
jeon jungkook
(leans closer, voice dropping)
Too late.
(Y/N freezes as his gaze lingers on them. For a moment, the world seems to stop. Then Y/N breaks the tension with a sarcastic remark.)
y/n
Careful, Jungkook. You’re starting to sound like you care.
jeon jungkook
(smirks, but there’s softness in his eyes)
And if I did?
(The silence is deafening. Y/N doesn’t respond, but their cheeks flush slightly. Jungkook notices, a quiet laugh escaping him.)
[Scene 4: The Final Showdown – Choices Made]
(In the climax, Jungkook and Y/N confront the traitor who’s been pitting their families against each other. As the traitor lies defeated, Jungkook turns to Y/N, his gun still in hand.)
jeon jungkook
You should leave. Go back to your family.
y/n
(hesitant)
And what about you?
jeon jungkook
(steps closer, brushing a strand of hair from their face)
I can’t protect you if you stay. And I refuse to be the reason you get hurt.
y/n
(gripping his wrist)
You’re assuming I need your protection.
jeon jungkook
(Smirks, but his voice softens)
Maybe I’m the one who needs yours.
(The two share a charged moment, the weight of their feelings unspoken but undeniable. Jungkook lowers his gun, stepping back.)
jeon jungkook
Go. Before I change my mind
(Y/N hesitates, then leans in, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek before walking away. Jungkook watches them go, his expression unreadable.)
[Ending – A Note Left Behind]
*(Days later, Y/N finds a note slipped into their coat pocket:
"You made me question everything. Let’s see where this goes." Y/N smiles, tucking the note away, knowing their story is far from over.)
A dangerous proposition
(A cold wind whistles through the abandoned warehouse. Y/N sits on a crate, the note from Jungkook crumpled in their hand. They’re torn, the words on the paper echoing in their mind: “You made me question everything. Let’s see where this goes.” The faint sound of boots clicking on the concrete floor snaps them out of their thoughts. Jungkook’s familiar figure steps into view, cloaked in shadows, his sharp gaze fixed on Y/N.)
y/n
(Dryly)
“Do you always make a habit of sneaking up on people? Or is this part of the infamous Jeon Jungkook charm?”
jeon jungkook
(Smirking)
“You looked too serious. Thought I’d remind you to breathe.”
y/n
(Rolling their eyes but unable to suppress a smirk)
“Funny. I didn’t realize you were so invested in my well-being.”
jeon jungkook
(Leaning against a metal beam, his tone shifting to something sharper)
“I don’t make investments lightly, Y/N. You should know that by now.”
y/n
“And what exactly am I to you? A pawn? A liability? Or just someone you can manipulate into doing your dirty work?”
jeon jungkook
(Steps closer, his expression unreadable)
“None of the above. You’re the only one who sees the cracks in this world. The ones everyone else ignores. That makes you dangerous… and valuable.”
y/n
(Raising an eyebrow, voice dripping with sarcasm)
“Valuable. Wow. How flattering. You’ve got an army at your beck and call, Jungkook. Why not send one of them to fix your mess?
jeon jungkook
(Smirks, his tone low and deliberate)
“Because none of them can think like you. Or challenge me like you do. I need someone who isn’t afraid to tell me when I’m wrong.”
(Y/N hesitates, caught off guard by his words. For a brief moment, the room feels smaller, the tension crackling between them like electricity.)
y/n
Breaking the silence, voice quieter)
“And what if I say no? What happens then?”
jeon jungkook
(Steps even closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper)
“Then you walk away. But you and I both know you won’t. Because you want answers just as much as I do. And maybe—just maybe—you want to prove you’re better at this game than I am.”
(Their eyes lock, the air thick with unspoken challenges and something deeper. Y/N clenches their fists, torn between their instinct to resist and the undeniable truth in his words.)
y/n
(Finally, with a resigned sigh)
“Fine. What’s the plan?”
jeon jungkook
(His smirk returns, victorious but not mocking)
“Smart choice. We’re going to find the traitor who’s been pulling the strings. And we’re going to burn their empire to the ground.”
y/n
(Fixing him with a pointed look)
“Just one condition: if you double-cross me, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
jeon jungkook
(Grinning, his tone playful but with an edge of sincerity)
“Wouldn’t dream of it, fox. Now, let’s get to work.”
(The scene fades as the two walk out of the warehouse, their partnership reluctantly solidified. But beneath the surface, a storm brews—of danger, betrayal, and undeniable chemistry that neither can fully control.)
shadows in the smoke
(The episode opens in a dimly lit bar, a neutral ground for criminals and informants. The air is thick with smoke and tension, laughter and whispered conversations intermingling. Jungkook sits in a secluded booth, his dark eyes scanning the room. Across from him, Y/N leans back, arms crossed, their expression wary. The mission has brought them here, but neither fully trusts the other. Sitting beside them is Taehyung, Jungkook’s second-in-command, a picture of calm amusement
taehyung
(leaning casually back in his seat)
"So, this is the famous fox I’ve heard so much about. Gotta say, you don’t disappoint."
y/n
(raising an eyebrow)
"And you must be the charming distraction Jungkook drags along to defuse the tension. I’m not impressed."
taehyung
(mock offense)
"Not impressed? Jungkook, I think I’m hurt."
jeon jungkook
(smirking)
"Don’t take it personally, Tae. Y/N doesn’t trust anyone. It’s their... charming personality trait."
y/n
(smirking back, tone sharp)
"Says the man who’d shoot someone before asking their name. Charming runs in the family, I guess."
(Jungkook’s eyes flash with amusement, but Taehyung chuckles, breaking the tension.)
taehyung
(to Y/N)
"Fair point. But if you’re going to keep up this little act, you might want to make some friends. Trust me, you’ll need them before this is over."
y/n
(deadpan)
"I’ll add it to my to-do list: Survive this mission and win over Jeon Jungkook’s minions."
taehyung
(grinning)
"See? I like this one, Jungkook. They’ve got fire. Try not to ruin it."
jeon jungkook
(ignoring him, turning to Y/N)
"Focus. We’re meeting an informant. If things go south, stay close to Taehyung and follow my lead."
y/n
(leaning forward, voice low)
"I don’t take orders from you, wolf. We’re partners, remember?"
jeon jungkook
(his smirk fades, tone dangerous)
"Partners don’t get each other killed. Stay close, or this partnership ends here."
(The two lock eyes, the tension palpable. Taehyung clears his throat, breaking the moment.)
(Their informant arrives: Min Yoongi, a shadowy figure with a reputation for playing both sides. He slides into the booth, his expression unreadable. The air around him is cold, his sharp gaze assessing everyone at the table.)
yoongi
(flatly)
"I don’t do charity work, Jungkook. If you want information, it’ll cost you."
jeon jungkook
(Smirking)
"And here I thought you’d help out of the goodness of your heart, hyung."
yoongi
(Deadpan)
"I don’t have a heart. You, of all people, should know that
y/n
(cutting in, unimpressed)
"Enough flirting. What do you know about the traitor?"
(Yoongi’s eyes flick to Y/N, taking them in. A hint of amusement crosses his face)
yoongi
(to Jungkook)
"I like them. Sharp tongue. You sure they’re not working for the other side?"
y/n
(smirking)
"I could say the same about you."
(Yoongi chuckles, leaning back.)
yoongi
"Fair enough. Here’s what I know. Your traitor’s name is Kang Daeho. He’s been playing both your families for fools, building his own empire in the shadows
