The jinx Begins
(MMA Arena | Night)
The roar of the crowd echoes like thunder. Spotlights flash. The bell rings.
Announcer
“Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by knockout—JEON JUNGKOOK!”
Announcer
Jungkook, the undefeated MMA champion, towers over his collapsed opponent. His chest rises and falls with steady breaths, not even winded. Blood on his knuckles. Stone-cold eyes.
He turns from the ring without a smile. For him, this is routine. Just another step in the ritual
Announcer
Another brutal finish by Jungkook! The Beast is unstoppable!
Kim Taehyung, a young physical therapist, watches the match replay on his cracked phone screen as the bus rattles through the city.
His eyes are tired. His hands fidget in his lap. But his gaze is fixed.
Taehyung
(Thinking): He’s… unreal. The strength, the control… So that’s Jeon Jungkook. The guy I’m supposed to treat?
He lets out a sigh and grips his medical bag tighter.
(Black Gym Entrance)
Taehyung stands in front of Black Gym, the door looming before him. He wipes his sweaty palms on his pants.
Taehyung
Whispers): “Just a job… Do your best, don’t mess up…”
He slowly opens the door—
(Inside Black Gym]
Chaos.
Jungkook is in a violent sparring match with another fighter. No pads. No rules.
He slams the man against the mat with a sickening thud.
Trainer
“Jungkook! Stop! You’ll kill him
Several gym members rush in to pull him off.
From the entrance, Taehyung freezes.
Taehyung
(thinking): Is this even normal? He’s like an animal…
Jungkook looks up—sweat dripping, eyes wild—and spots Taehyung.
Jungkook
Growls: “Who the hell are you?”
Jungkook
I Though I made it clear I dont Want any stranger in here while I train
Jungkook
Which one of the clowns decide to invite guest?
Taehyung steps back instinctively.
Before he can answer, Bang PD-nim walks in.
Bang pdnim
“This is Kim Taehyung. Your new therapist.”
Jungkook
Another one? Why?”
Bang pdnim
“You hospitalized the last guy. We needed a replacement.”
(Therapy Room)
Jungkook walks ahead, opening the door to the therapy room. Without a word, he strips off his shirt and sits on the table.
Taehyung stands frozen in the doorway.
Bang pdnim
(Quietly): “Don’t panic. Just do Not do anything that get his nerves"
Taehyung nods and walks in.
Taehyung
(Thinking)

Taehyung

As Taehyung enters JUNGKOOK take of this cloths as this shocked Taehyung
Jungkook
My cloths are soaked in Sweat I can do naked right
Taehyung
(Thinking): WoW. His body is unbelievable…
He starts the massage, hands trembling. He accidentally squeezes too hard.
Jungkook
Grunts): “Tch—watch it.”
Taehyung gasps and tears up in panic.
Jungkook
“Why are you crying?”
Jungkook watches him silently. Says nothing.
Taehyung relaxes… just a little.
(Later That Night)
Taehyung walks home, exhausted. He sees two men waiting at his apartment gate that loan sharks
Taehyung’s face pales. He runs the other way and ends up sitting at a 24/7 convenience store, eating instant ramen.
Taehyung
(Thinking): What am I supposed to do? This can’t go on…

[Black Tower Apartments – Penthouse]
Taehyung
Text): "I’m on my way..."
[Cut to – Jungkook’s Apartment]
Dim lighting. Breathless noises. Jungkook is in bed with another man, hips moving, gaze distant.
Jungkook
(voiceover): “I can’t win unless I do this… every time. It’s the curse.”
