Chapter 3 - Hidden Emotions

Kim Taehyung, Jungkook's close friend, had secretly harbored feelings for Park Lisa.

One fateful evening, at a BTS gathering, Taehyung's gaze locked onto Lisa.

Her captivating laughter and radiant smile left him breathless.

Unbeknownst to Taehyung, Jungkook's twin brother, Jeon Jimin, had also developed feelings for Lisa.

As the night unfolded, Jimin's eyes frequently met Lisa's, sparking an undeniable connection.

Taehyung noticed Jimin's interest and felt a pang of unease.

"Jimin, you okay?" Jungkook asked, sensing tension.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jimin replied, masking his emotions.

YN observed the exchange, sensing an impending storm.

"Lisa, be careful," YN whispered later. "Taehyung and Jimin both have eyes for you."

Lisa blushed. "YN, I don't know what you're talking about."

YN's eyes sparkled. "Don't play dumb, Lisa."

Lisa's heart fluttered at the prospect of two charming guys vying for her attention.

But little did she know, this love triangle would soon entangle their friendships and hearts.

But a Shadow of Protection arrived soon,

Park Namjoon, Lisa's older brother, was a formidable figure.

As the leader of the infamous "Black Tiger" mafia, Namjoon commanded respect and fear.

His protective instincts extended to his sister, Lisa.

No one dared approach her without his approval.

When Namjoon learned about Taehyung's and Jimin's interest in Lisa, his expression darkened.

"Lisa, stay away from those boys," Namjoon warned, his voice low and menacing.

Lisa trembled. "Oppa, I—"

Namjoon's gaze silenced her.

"They're not suitable for you. Taehyung's celebrity status will only bring danger, and Jimin's family ties are... complicated."

Lisa knew better than to defy her brother.

But her heart had already begun to flutter for one of them.

Meanwhile, Taehyung and Jimin remained oblivious to Namjoon's true identity.

Their pursuit of Lisa continued, fueled by curiosity and attraction.

Little did they know, they were playing with fire.

Namjoon would stop at nothing to shield his sister.

The stakes were high.

But a bright light was coming forward for Lisa.

Jin, RM's skilled shooter, observed Lisa's subtle changes.

Her bright smile now seemed forced, and her laughter lacked conviction.

Jin's instincts kicked in, sensing something was amiss.

During a rare break from mafia duties, Jin approached Lisa.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Jin asked, his voice softer than usual.

Lisa looked up, startled. "Nothing, Jin Oppa."

Jin's piercing gaze saw right through her.

"Don't lie to me, Lisa. I've seen your smile fade."

Lisa hesitated, then revealed:

"Taehyung and Jimin... they both like me. But Oppa won't approve."

Jin's expression turned serious.

"Namjoon's protection is suffocating, I know. But he only wants what's best for you."

Lisa's eyes welled up.

"Jin Oppa, what if I want to choose for myself?"

Jin's face softened, a rare sight.

"I'll keep your secret, Lisa. But be careful. The mafia world is treacherous."

Jin's words carried weight, born from experience.

Lisa felt a strange sense of comfort around Jin.

Could she trust him?

Meanwhile, Taehyung and Jimin continued their pursuit.

Unaware of Jin's growing concern.

And Namjoon's watchful eye.

The delicate balance was about to shift.
