About Jungkook's character: Jungkook's character is the highlight of this story. His character was inspired by K-drama villains who always tries to steal the main leads man ;)
author
I always had a thing for villains. So I thought why not make a book about where the main lead is the villain himself?
author
(This book will be super Angsty but I assure you a happy ending.)

Flight Attendant (speaker)
Flight attendants, prepare for landing please.
Flight Attendant (speaker)
Cabin crew, please take your seats for landing
The flight attendant's voice bloomed through the speaker. Everyone sat tight in their seats as the plane slowly started to descend toward the ground.
A man sat in one of the seats, his legs crossed. Slacks hugged his thighs tightly, black polished pointed shoes glimmered like mirrors.
His dirty blond hair was parted in the middle. He looked serious—eyebrows furrowed. His aura screamed don't come near me.
He was, no doubt, intimidating—and well, if ‘I hate people’ were a person, it’d be him.
He checked the time. 5:20 PM, the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist read.
Flight Attendant (speaker)
Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been cleared to land at the Incheon airport. Please make sure one last time your seat belt is securely fastened...
The man sighed and took off his AirPods. He shoved them into his pocket, already prepared to walk out.
He felt the wheels hit the tarmac and looked out the window. A strange euphoria hit him—finally, solid ground after 13 hours in the air.
Flight Attendant (speaker)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Incheon Airport. Local time is 5:30 PM and the temperature is 26° Celsius...
He wasn’t paying attention to any of it. The seatbelt sign turned off, and he immediately stood, opened the overhead bin, and took out his luggage.
Flight Attendant (speaker)
On behalf of Air Seoul Airlines and the entire crew, thank you for joining us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Jungkook
Yeah, yeah, good evening to you too. Now open the damn door.
He stepped out, ignoring the polite flight attendants, finally setting foot in South Korea after ten long years.
He had no idea his life would change completely that very night.
A short man stood with a signboard that read Jeon Jungkook, waiting for his best friend. His mask hid most of his face, a beret on his head, long coat covering him. A successful lawyer—Park Jimin.
He rose on his toes to scan the crowd, then—
Jungkook
(tapping Jimin's shoulder) Shorty.
Jimin
(eyes lighting up) Jungkook!
Jimin dropped the signboard and hugged the taller man tightly.
Jungkook gave him two casual pats on the back, not a fan of skinship, but letting it slide for now.
Jimin
The party is going to start at 7. We have only one hour. So, shall we move?
Jungkook
(shrugging off his coat)
It's fcking hot in here.
Jungkook
(dragging his suitcase)
Let's go. We don't have anything to do in this airport anyway.
Jimin
(mumbling) Well, I just said it but anyway...
Jungkook
(watching the streets) South Korea has changed a lot.
Jimin
(driving) You stepped into this country after 10 years. Of course, a lot of things changed.
In case you're wondering how they stayed friends—Jimin and Jungkook knew each other long before Jungkook left. They never lost touch.
Jimin
(teasing) So tell me about you. Still playing around or finally found someone?
Jungkook
(smirking) A lot of men caught my eye, but no one has gone as far as stealing my heart.
Jungkook
(scoffing) Shame. Seems like no one has been born yet who can steal Jeon Jungkook’s heart.
Jimin
(serious) But you can't live like this, Jungkook. Instead of hooking up, you need to find someone and settle down.
Jungkook
(laughing sarcastically)
You're just jealous you’re stuck with your husband and can’t even have fun
Jimin
Life’s not all about hooking up and—
Jungkook
(cutting off) I don’t hook up. I feed them money and make them do things I want.
Jimin
(remembering) What about John? You didn’t feed him money. You played with his feelings.
Jungkook
(defensive) Well, I didn’t know he had feelings. He told me after. So I cut him off.
Jimin
(flat) You literally ghosted him, Jungkook. How could you? He had genuine feelings for you.
Jungkook
(casual) Well, I don’t. And I don’t care. So why bother?
Jimin
(sighing) You are impossible.
Jungkook
(smirking) Glad you realized. Anyway, tell me about you. How’s married life? Speaking of which—you never showed me your husband.
Jimin shot Jungkook a glare before focusing back on the road.
Jimin
(fidgeting) No, it’s not that. I just—never thought of it? Thought it wasn’t important.
Jungkook
(raising brow) What? Jimin, I’ve never seen your husband in two years and you say it’s not important? Are you even on good terms with him?
Jimin
(forcing a smile) Yeah–yeah, of course. We’re good
Jungkook
(chuckling) Don’t worry. I may like to play, but I’m not cheap enough to seduce my best friend’s husband.
Jimin
I know, Jungkook. I didn’t mean it that way. I just really thought you had no interest in my married life. But he’s coming to the party, so you’ll meet him eventually.
Jungkook
(surprised) He’s coming? Is he a lawyer too? Last I checked, you married a CEO
Jimin
Yeah, he’s a successful businessman. It’s the 100th anniversary of our law firm, so they invited Taehyung as a guest.
Jungkook
(murmuring) Mhm, sounds plausible.

Law Firm’s 100th Anniversary Party – 7:05 PM
Jungkook
(looking around) Dang! That’s some bomb-aßs party y’all threw for me.
Jimin
(beside him, dryly) You wish the party was for you.
Jungkook
(rolling his eyes) You didn’t have to pop my fantasy bubble like that.
Jimin
(nudging him forward) We’re lawyers. We don’t fantasy—we lie.
Jungkook
(laughing) Good point. Someone once asked me if I was a good liar... I said, ‘I’m a lawyer, bich.’
Jimin
(trying not to laugh too loud) God. Please act like you’ve got a license.
They walk up to a group of well-dressed people, laughing with glasses of wine in hand.
Jimin
Hey ladies and gentlemen, meet my friend, Jeon Jungkook. Respected attorney. Graduated in the USA, practiced there too, and now he’s back to continue his journey with us
？？？
(eyes him, smiling) You’re quite handsome, Mr. Jeon
Jungkook
(flashing a flirty smile) Oh, a compliment from such a gorgeous woman? I’m blessed.
Jimin
(under his breath) Remind me you’re gay.
Jungkook
(whispering back with a smirk)
And what if I am? Flirting is a universal language.
Jungkook
< He sips his wine, smile plastered, while the group laughs at something he didn’t catch. >
Colleague
Mr. Kim, if you’re unaware, your husband arrived a few minutes ago
Jimin
(smile falters for a second)
Oh? He did? Right… I should go welcome him. Jungkook, I’ll be back
Jungkook
(nonchalant) Sure. I’ll survive.
Jimin leaves. Jungkook silently sighs, clearly not amused by the group’s jokes anymore. His eyes wander around the party again, taking slow sips from his wine. The chandelier sparkles above, red carpets laid everywhere. He’s the only one in blue, while everyone else is in black and red.
His eyes land on a figure standing alone on the balcony—broad back, black suit, poised. Something pulls him there. Without thinking, he walks
He approaches. Stands behind the man.
Jungkook
(clears his throat) Bored from the party?
The man turns. Slowly. Eyes locking. Jungkook freezes.
？？？
(confused) Do I know you?
Jungkook
(cocky smirk, still dazed) Don’t worry. You will soon.
？？？
(brows furrowed) I... I don’t understand?
Jungkook
(extends a hand) Jeon Jungkook. Nice to meet you.
？？？
(takes it, politely) I’m Kim—
Jungkook
(cuts him off, smirking) Damn, it’s always the Kims.
Jungkook
(walks to the balcony rail, leans back, sips wine) Always the Kims who are rudely attractive.
？？？
(purses lips, awkward) Yeah—uh, my brothers are quite attractive.
Jungkook
(shameless) You’re one of them.
The man doesn’t respond. Just looks away. Jungkook chuckles and puts his glass down. Slowly walks back. Hips swaying. Bold.
Jungkook
< He stops in front of the man. Places a palm on his chest. >
Jungkook
(soft voice, deadly eyes) Mr. Kim, I’ve been with a lot of men… but I’ve never seen beauty like yours.
？？？
(startled, gently removes Jungkook’s hand) Thank you, Mr. Jeon. But I’m married.
Jungkook
(smirk dropping slightly) That’s depressing… but I can change it.
Jimin
(voice from behind) There you are!
Jimin
I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Looks like you already met my husband
Jimin
Jungkook, you wanted to meet my husband. This is him—Kim Taehyung
Jungkook
(snaps to Jimin, horrified) This—this is Taehyung?!
Jungkook
(under his breath) …Fck.
Jungkook
< He bites his lip. Looks away, guilt creeping in >
Taehyung
(confused) You know him?
Jimin
Remember I told you my best friend from the USA is visiting? It’s him—Jeon Jungkook.
Taehyung
(expression softens) Nice to meet you, Jungkook. Welcome to Seoul.
Jungkook
(tight smile) Thank you... Taehyung.
Jimin
We should head back. You’ve got a speech, love. Jungkook, come
Jungkook
(nods, motions them to go first) Go ahead. I’ll follow.
Taehyung
(as he walks away, arm wrapping around Jimin’s waist) I’ll see you around, Jungkook.
Jungkook stood there, watching them leave the balcony, his jaw clenched and eyes slightly narrowed.
he muttered under his breath, clearly referring to Jimin. He rolled his eyes and let out a long, annoyed sigh. It felt like he had touched the moon for a brief second… only to have it snatched away before he could even explore its glow.
But then, his gaze slowly trailed back to the party hall. His expression shifted. The softness disappeared. In its place, a glint of dangerous intent flickered in his eyes. A cocky smirk curled on his lips — dark, wicked, confident.
Jungkook
Sometimes... you have to be cheap to gain something that only comes once in a lifetime.
His tone was low, amused, sharp.
Jungkook
(Smirking cruelly) Sorry bestie, but your husband is way too good to be just a plaything for me.
