2 . The Heir’s Truth
The storm had passed, but the mansion still held the echoes of Ji-hyun’s cries.
On the bed, she lay pale and trembling, her hair sticking to her damp face. In her arms, a small bundle shifted and whimpered, the newborn’s fragile breaths mingling with her own.
The doctor adjusted his spectacles, carefully examining the child. Silence pressed heavily until Min-ho’s voice broke it.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
Well? Speak. Is he strong? An Alpha?
The doctor hesitated, choosing his words with care.
Doctor
Yes, sir. Your son is… an Alpha.
A sharp breath of satisfaction escaped Min-ho. His lips curved upward — a proud, almost triumphant smile.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
Good. My blood runs strong. He will inherit everything.
Ji-hyun weakly tightened her hold on the baby, pressing her lips against his forehead.
Jeon Ji Hyun
My sweet Kookie…
But the doctor wasn’t finished. Clearing his throat nervously, he added,
Doctor
However… he is not a dominant Alpha. His readings suggest… submissive traits.
The smile vanished from Min-ho’s face. His eyes hardened, his jaw clenched. He stared at the infant as though the word itself was an insult.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
Submissive? My heir? *Low, Cold Voice*
Ji-hyun flinched at his tone and quickly shielded the baby with her body, though her arms were weak.
Jeon Ji Hyun
*firm, though her voice shook*
Jeon Ji Hyun
He is perfect. Alpha or not, dominant or not — he is still your son.
But Min-ho’s gaze never softened. He stepped closer, towering over them, his shadow falling across mother and child.
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
*With a cold voice*
Jeon Min Ho (Mafia Don)
He will not grow weak. I’ll make him strong. Dominant. He will not shame me with softness.
Ji-hyun’s heart ached as she looked down at Jungkook, the tiny Alpha sleeping peacefully against her chest, unaware of the expectations already being carved into his fate.
She whispered, almost to herself, almost as a vow
Jeon Ji Hyun
“No matter what you try, Min-ho… I will not let you turn him into a monster. He will be kind. He will be human.”
But Min-ho, unmoved, turned away, already planning the boy’s future.
And in that cold, heavy silence, Jungkook’s destiny split into two paths — the light of his mother’s love, and the darkness of his father’s world.
