The First Thread

The Seoul skyline glittered under the night sky, but within the Jeon Syndicate's nightclub, shadows lurked beneath the dazzling lights. This wasn’t just a club—it was the heart of the most feared mafia in the city, run by the seven Jeon brothers.
The music thumped, the crowd danced, and in the dimly lit VIP lounge, the most dangerous men in Seoul discussed their latest interests.
.
In the VIP Lounge
Jungkook leaned back in his leather chair, swirling his drink absentmindedly. His sharp gaze drifted over the crowd below, scanning for something—or someone.
Namjoon

“Are you even listening?”
Namjoon asked, raising an eyebrow at his youngest brother.
jungkook

“Hmm?”
Jungkook hummed, barely acknowledging him.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“You’ve been staring at the bar for ten minutes. What’s so interesting?”
Namjoon followed his gaze, his expression hardening when he saw you.

“I don’t know,”
Jungkook muttered, his tone unusually soft.
jungkook

“She doesn’t belong here.”
yoongi

“That’s an understatement,”
Yoongi chimed in from the corner, his voice low.
Seokjin

“She looks... out of place.”
Seokjin

“Lost, maybe,”
Seokjin added, his tone light.
Seokjin
Seokjin
“You should leave her alone. She’s not worth the trouble.”
Jungkook smirked, his eyes never leaving you.
jungkook

“That’s what makes her interesting.”

“Hyung, he’s doing it again,”
Jimin teased, nudging Taehyung.
Taehyung chuckled, resting his chin on his hand.
taehyung

“Let him have his fun. It’s been a while since Jungkook found someone worth chasing.”
jungkook

“I’ll talk to her,”
Jungkook said, standing abruptly.
Namjoon sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“This won’t end well.”
At the Bar
You stood at the bar, holding your drink with both hands as you scanned the room nervously. The club felt too big, too loud—yet it was exactly where you needed to be.
You had felt Jungkook’s gaze on you from the moment you walked in.
Hoseok
Hoseok
“You seem uncomfortable,”
A cheerful voice broke through the noise.
You turned to see Hoseok, his bright smile somehow calming amidst the chaos.
you
you
“Oh, I... I’m fine,”
You said softly, lowering your gaze.
Hoseok
Hoseok
“First time in a place like this?”
Hoseok leaned on the counter, his tone casual but curious.
You nodded shyly.
you
you
“Is it that obvious?”
Hoseok
Hoseok
A little,”
He admitted with a laugh.
Hoseok
Hoseok
But don’t worry, you’re safe here. As long as you don’t cross anyone important.”
His words made you stiffen slightly, but before you could respond, a low voice interrupted.
“Hoseok.”
Both of you turned to see Jungkook approaching, his dark eyes fixed on you. His presence was magnetic, pulling the air from the room. Hoseok stepped back with a knowing smile.
Hoseok
Hoseok
“Looks like my work here is done. Good luck.”
Jungkook stepped closer, his gaze unwavering.
jungkook

“You look nervous.”
You clutched your drink tighter.
you
you
“I didn’t think anyone would notice me.”
jungkook

“Hard not to,”
He said, his tone deep and smooth.
jungkook
jungkook
"You don’t exactly blend in.”
You hesitated, pretending to be unsure.
you
you
“I should go. I’m meeting someone.”
jungkook
jungkook
“One drink,”
Jungkook said, his voice firm but not unkind.
jungkook
jungkook
That’s all I’m asking.”
After a moment, you nodded.
you
you
“Okay. Just one.”
The VIP Booth
Jungkook returned to the lounge later, his expression unreadable.
taehyung
taehyung
So?”
Taehyung asked, grinning.
taehyung
taehyung
“Did she run off?”
Jungkook ignored the jab, taking a seat.
jungkook
jungkook
“She’s... different.”
Namjoon shook his head.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“Don’t get attached. We don’t know anything about her.”
jungkook
jungkook
“That’s the point,”
Jungkook said with a faint smirk.
jungkook
jungkook
“I’ll figure her out.”
Seokjin leaned forward, a playful smile on his lips.
Seokjin
Seokjin
“You mean you’ll hunt her down until she falls for you.”
Jimin laughed.
jimin

“That’s our Jungkook. Always making things complicated.”
yoongi

"Or dangerous,”
Yoongi muttered.
yoongi
yoongi
“Be careful. People who stand out usually have a reason.”
The Twist Begins
The next morning, the news spread like wildfire.
“A young woman, identified as Hana Kim, was found dead in an alley near the Jeon nightclub last night,”
The reporter announced on the television.
“Authorities are investigating, but no suspects have been named.”
Jungkook frowned as he watched the screen, his jaw tightening.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“Strange,”
Namjoon said, crossing his arms.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“She was there last night, wasn’t she?”
jungkook
jungkook
“Yeah,”
Jungkook muttered.
jungkook
jungkook
“I saw her talking to Y/N".
He paused, his thoughts trailing off.
In your small apartment, you watched the same broadcast, a soft smile playing on your lips.
Everything was going according to plan. You’d been careful, deliberate, and efficient.
As you sipped your tea, you thought back to the night before—the way Hana had looked at Jungkook, the way she’d spoken to him. You couldn’t let anyone get too close to what was yours.
Your gaze lingered on the small photo tucked into your notebook: Jungkook, captured in a candid moment.
you
you
“Soon,”
You whispered to yourself, your voice barely audible.
you
you
“You’ll see just how much I care.”

Threads Begin to Tighten

The Jeon Syndicate’s mansion loomed like a fortress at the edge of the city. The brothers sat around a grand table in the meeting hall, their attention divided between the news of Hana’s death and their latest dealings.
Jungkook leaned back in his chair, his jaw clenched. The image of Hana’s lifeless body on the news replayed in his mind.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“She was there last night,”
Namjoon said, breaking the silence.
jungkook
jungkook
I know,”
Jungkook replied coldly.
jungkook
jungkook
“She spoke to me at the bar for a second.”
yoongi
yoongi
And now she’s dead,”
Yoongi muttered, leaning forward, his piercing gaze fixed on Jungkook.
jimin
jimin
“Coincidence?”
Jimin scoffed, breaking the tension.
taehyung
taehyung
“It’s not like Jungkook killed her, hyung. She probably got mixed up with the wrong crowd.”
taehyung
taehyung
Or the wrong person,”
Taehyung added, swirling his drink.
Seokjin sighed, running a hand through his hair.
Seokjin
Seokjin
We don’t need extra heat right now. Whoever did this better not be dragging us into it.”
Hoseok, who had been quietly observing, finally spoke.
Hoseok
Hoseok
“Do you think she knew anything? About us?”
Jungkook shook his head
jungkook
jungkook
She didn’t even know who I was. She was just... there.”
Namjoon frowned.
Namjoon
Namjoon
“Still, keep an eye out. If this isn’t a coincidence, it’s a problem.”
At Your Apartment
You sat by the window of your small apartment, the city lights twinkling outside. The photo of Jungkook rested on the table next to you, alongside a small notebook filled with careful notes and scribbles—his schedule, his preferences, every detail you’d been collecting.
Your mind wandered to Hana. Her lifeless body, discarded like trash, didn’t bother you—it had to be done. She had been too close to him, her hand brushing his arm as she smiled too brightly.
you
you
she should've stayed away
You murmured, your fingers brushing over Jungkook’s photo. The thought of him was intoxicating. Every glance, every word he had spoken to you last night replayed in your mind. He had noticed you, spoken to you.
you
you
“Soon,”
You whispered.
you
you
You’ll see how much I care.”
At the Club
Jungkook returned to the nightclub the next evening, unable to shake the lingering unease from the news. The place was alive again, the same crowds, the same energy—but he found himself scanning the room, searching for you.
jimin
jimin
“Looking for someone?”
Jimin teased, sliding into the booth beside him.
Jungkook didn’t answer. His eyes finally found you at the bar, dressed in soft pastels that made you stand out in the dark, glittering chaos of the club. You were talking to the bartender, your movements delicate and unassuming.
taehyung
taehyung
She’s back,”
Taehyung noted, following Jungkook’s gaze.
yoongi
yoongi
Coincidence?”
Yoongi asked dryly, a small smirk playing on his lips.
jungkook
jungkook
Does it matter?”
Jungkook replied, standing abruptly.
jungkook
jungkook
"I’m going to her.”
Namjoon called out after him
Namjoon
Namjoon
"Don’t scare her off this time!”
At the Bar
You felt him before you saw him. That magnetic pull, the subtle shift in the air—it could only be him. You kept your expression calm, pretending to be lost in thought as Jungkook approached.
jungkook
jungkook
“You’re back,”
He said, his deep voice cutting through the noise.
You turned, feigning surprise.
you
you
“Oh, it’s you.”
He raised an eyebrow, his lips twitching into a smirk.
jungkook
jungkook
“Not exactly the response I was expecting.”
You blushed, looking away
you
you
"I didn’t think you’d remember me.”
jungkook
jungkook
“Hard to forget,”
He replied, stepping closer.
jungkook
jungkook
“What’s your name?”
You hesitated for a moment before answering softly.
you
you
“Y/N. And you?”
He chuckled.
jungkook
jungkook
"Jungkook. But I think you already knew that.”
Your heart raced, but you kept your expression neutral.
you
you
“Why would I know that?”
jungkook
jungkook
“Just a feeling,”
He said, his gaze narrowing slightly as if trying to read you.
jungkook
jungkook
"Are you here alone again?”
you
you
"I like the music,”
You lied, sipping your drink to avoid his gaze.
He tilted his head, studying you.
jungkook
jungkook
"You don’t seem like the nightclub type.”
you
you
“Maybe I’m full of surprises,”
You said with a shy smile.
He chuckled, intrigued. “
jungkook
jungkook
“Maybe you are.”
Across the room, Taehyung watched the interaction with a curious expression.
taehyung
taehyung
"She’s too perfect,”
He muttered, mostly to himself.
Hoseok
Hoseok
“Hmm?”
Hoseok asked, leaning closer.
taehyung
taehyung
“Too innocent, too sweet,”
taehyung
taehyung
“It’s almost unnatural.”
Hoseok
Hoseok
“Or she’s just not used to this world,”
Hoseok countered.
Taehyung didn’t reply, but his sharp gaze stayed on you as Jungkook led you away from the bar.
Back at the Booth
Jungkook brought you to the VIP lounge, introducing you to the rest of the brothers.
jungkook
jungkook
“This is Y/N ,”
Jungkook said, his tone casual but firm.
The others greeted you politely, though some were more curious than others.
Seokjin
Seokjin
“You don’t look like someone who frequents places like this,
Seokjin commented with a smile.
You shrugged, your nervous laugh perfectly rehearsed.
you
you
"I guess I’m just trying something new.”
Yoongi’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice quiet but sharp.
yoongi
yoongi
“New can be dangerous.”
Namjoon changed the subject smoothly.

“What do you do, Y/N ?”

“I’m a student,

“Just moved here a few months ago.”

“Let us know if you need help navigating.”

“Thank you,”
You said softly, your eyes darting to Jungkook.

You’re safe here,”
Jungkook assured you, his voice low.

“With me.”
You smiled, but inside, your thoughts swirled.

“If only you knew how true that was.”
