A Pure Soul
episode 1
Scene: Streets of Seoul — Afternoon
The city was loud. People laughed, shopped, ate. But in the middle of it all… walked a lonely boy.
Jimin carried heavy grocery bags, nearly as big as his chest.
park jimin
(thinking) “…So heavy.”
His hands burned, but nobody looked.
To the world, he was invisible.
park jimin
(thinking) “Why would anyone care? They never do.
He reached the place he called home. No relief.
Only dread.His father would be waiting… drunk.
park jimin
(thinking) “…I still need to stop by the shop.”
He turned toward the old corner store. The walls had holes, one window cracked, a cardboard sheet barely covering it.
park jimin
(whispering) “…I hate this place.”
Jimin walked to the counter, a familiar discomfort rising in his chest.
He hated this man.The shop owner — cruel, ugly inside, selling drugs and alcohol to anyone.Jimin knew… because he was living proof.
Seventeen years old. Buying alcohol since nine. For his father.
shop owner
"Sickly sweet" Jimin, how are you, sweetie?”
Jimin froze. Shuddered at the word.
park jimin
(quietly) “…Fine.”
He placed the alcohol bottles on the counter, avoiding the man’s eyes.
shop owner
(smirking) “You know, Jimin… my offer is still on the table.”
shop owner
Do this one thing for me… and you don’t have to pay today.”
Jimin froze. His chest tightened.
That smile again. The one he hated.The one that made him sick.
park jimin
(thinking) “Never. I’ll never let him touch me.”
park jimin
(thinking) “Not like that. Not ever.”
He didn’t say a word. Just pulled out money and
placed it firmly on the counter.
shop owner
(annoyed) “Tch…”
But he still took the cash.
The moment Jimin got his change, he grabbed it and rushed out the door
Jimin started running, his small hands burning red from
the weight of the groceries.
park jimin
(thinking) “Ahhh…” (groans in his head)
He stopped only when he rounded a corner, setting the bags
down carefully. He opened his palms. Red marks everywhere.
His breath came fast. His chest ached.
Jimin flipped his old wristwatch — the one his mother gave
him before she died
park jimin
Eyes widening No… no no no.”
park jimin
(thinking) “I was supposed to be home by 9:35
Terror filled his chest. He picked up the groceries and ran harder.
His father’s punishments flashed in his mind.
And worse—this district was dangerous after dark.
Criminals ruled here. The mafia controlled everything.
park jimin
(thinking) “…I’ve been lucky never to meet them.”
park jimin
(thinking) “…And I don’t ever want to.”
park jimin
(thinking) If I’m late, father will punish me… but it’s not just that. It’s dangerous to be outside here after dark.
This was the poorest, most dangerous part of Seoul. Corruption ruled. The police looked away, and the mafia were the true kings.
park jimin
(thinking) I was lucky enough never to encounter any of them… and I didn’t even know what they looked like. I wasn’t planning to find out either.
The streets are quiet. Too quiet. Jimin grips his bag tighter,
praying he won’t meet anyone.
But fate had other plans.
Across the street, a tall man appears. Expensive black clothes. Shoes polished. His whole aura screams money and power.
park jimin
(thinking) He looks so rich… so untouchable. What’s he even doing here?
The man’s face is blank. His eyes stay on the ground as if deep in thought. He walks calmly, almost arrogantly.
park jimin
(thinking, bitter) Crazy… walking down this street looking like a signboard that says “I AM RICH.”
Suddenly, as if the night itself had come alive, another
figure emerges from a dark alley.
His clothes were filthy. Torn jeans. Old shirt. Beard unkempt. A long scar slashed across his left cheek. He belonged here—in the shadows.
Jimin freezes. His eyes land on something glinting.
park jimin
(thinking, horrified) That’s… a knife. In his pocket.

episode 2
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
growls “What do you mean?”
Herdis
“He got away. I am sorry, Sir.”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(eyes darken) “You should be
Without hesitation, Jungkook pulls out his pistol and shoots the man.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
Seungcheol, get rid of him. And find me the target. I want him alive! Or do I need to shoot another one of you to make myself clear?”
seungcheo
Yes, Sir. Should I get you a driver?”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
Nah, I’m walking. Just focus your men on the task.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
Jungkook storms out of the warehouse, inhaling deeply.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(thinking): Remember what Namjoon always says: one deep breath. Swallow your anger. If that idiot could die more than once, I’d still be shooting him right now. I need a drink.
A few minutes later, he enters a bar. Silence falls instantly. All eyes turn to him, then quickly look away in fear.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(thinking): Nothing new. I love this—the fear, the authority.
bartender
(bows nervously) “Mr. Jeon, what can I get you, sir?”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
The usual.”
The bartender rushes to prepare his drink. Jungkook sits down, pulls out his smartphone, when his screen lights up.
Texts — Jin Hyung & Jungkook
Kim seokjin
Jungkook, where are you?
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
At the bar.
Kim seokjin
You got me worried sick, come home!
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
I’m not a child anymore, hyung. Don’t treat me like one. You and I both know I can kill everyone who bothers me.
Kim seokjin
Get your ass over here, or I’ll come and drag you back. And if I do, you won’t be stepping out for a week!
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
No. You’re not my mother, stop acting like you are.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
Jin, stop.
Kim seokjin
2… don’t let me get to three!
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
Okay, okay. I’m on my way.
Jungkook sighs, finishing his drink before standing up to leave
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(thinking): Why does he always act like I’m still a child?
Suddenly, a young waitress speaks up.
waitress
“S-sir, you have to pay for this drink!”
The bar falls into silence. All eyes shift to Jungkook.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(dark voice, tilting his head) “What did you just say?”
The waitress freezes, about to speak again,
when the bartender rushes forward.
bartender
I-I’m really sorry, Mr. Jeon. It’s her first week. It won’t happen again.” bows deeply
waitress
(eyes widening, trembling, bows too)
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(coldly) “You’re lucky I have an appointment. But if something like this happens again… I won’t be so forgiving.”
He turns and leaves. The last thing he hears behind him:
waitress
(whispers shakily) “Thank you, Sir. You are very generous.”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
Outside. Jungkook checks his phone. Time: 9:35The streets are empty.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(thinking): Thank God. If one more person interrupts me today, I’ll slaughter them.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(thinking):
I still can’t believe the spy from CTA got away. Seungcheol and his men will probably catch him—he’s one of our best—but still… it bothers me. What info did he get? What if he delivers it to his clan?
Lost in thought, Jungkook feels a tap on his shoulder.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(thinking): That’s it. I’m going to kill him.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
He spins around, ready to grab the stranger by the collar—
👀 but stops dead in his tracks.
episode 3
park jimin
(thinking): Is he going to kill him? Is he a thief? A murderer? I have to do something… No, wait. I have to do nothing. Just walk home. Pretend you saw nothing.
park jimin
(thinking): But if he’s dead tomorrow? Then it’s my fault… Why can’t I just ignore the world like everyone else? Why only me…?
Jimin frowns, then suddenly runs across the street.
park jimin
Excuse me, Sir?”
(no answer)
park jimin
(thinking): Wow… he’s deep in thought. No wonder he didn’t notice he’s being followed.
Jimin lightly taps the stranger’s shoulder.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(snaps around, glaring, deadly silent)
park jimin
(jumps back, flustered) “Excuse m—uh…”
park jimin
(thinking): Crap. He looks terrifying. What do I even say?!
park jimin
(blurts) “C-can you tell me the time, please?”
park jimin
(thinking): Wow. Really? The time?? Am I stupid??
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(narrowed eyes, glances at his watch, suspicious)
park jimin
(leans closer, whispering) “I’m sorry, sir, but… I think you’re being followed. I’m pretty sure I saw a big knife. Hidden, left side of the back.”
Jimin flicks his eyes toward the stalker. Jungkook follows his subtle signal
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(dark voice) “Of course… but only if you could help me, too.”
park jimin
(thinking): God, his voice… why is it so dark it gave me goosebumps?
park jimin
(nervously) “Help you?”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
“Show me the way to the underground. I’m a bit lost.”
park jimin
(quickly nods) “Of course, sir.”
They start walking side by side. Jimin feels a deadly stare burning into his back. Just a minute later, when he dares glance behind him—
park jimin
(thinking, wide-eyed): He’s gone… disappeared into thin air.
park jimin
(sighs in relief) “That was very nice of you.”
The taller man just stared, clearly waiting for something.
park jimin
Ah—Jimin. Park Jimin. I’m just happy we’re both safe!
” (gives a small smile)
park jimin
But you… shouldn’t wander around here at this hour.
Especially not in clothes like that.”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(Raises an eyebrow, amused)
park jimin
(panics) “N-no! I didn’t mean they’re bad! Just… they look expensive. Flashy. People around here—they’ll notice. And not in a good way!”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(dark chuckle) “Mafia territory, hm?”
park jimin
(nervous ramble) “Exactly! What if someone kidnaps you? Ransom, billions of won! It happens in dramas all the time, I swear—”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(suddenly laughs, a real one this time)
park jimin
(blinking) “W-what’s so funny?”
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(still smirking) “It’s nothing. You’re just… such a pure soul.”
Jimin flushed, lowering his gaze in embarrassment.
park jimin
(thinking, panicked): OH DUCK! 10: 20?! My father is going to kill me!
His whole posture stiffened, panic flashing across his face.
park jimin
(bows quickly) “I-I’m sorry, sir! I have to leave. Please get home
Without waiting for a reply, he ran past him.
Jeon junkook ( Mafia )
(calls after softly) “Jimin?”
park jimin
But the boy didn’t turn back.
