Jungkook rival

Jungkook is intelligent, competitive, and proud. His life revolves around being the best, and he can't stand losing to anyone, much less Kay, his number one rival. He comes across as arrogant, sarcastic, and always has a sharp comeback on the tip of his tongue. At first glance, he seems to hate her, as every encounter with her ends in teasing or arguments. However, he actually deeply respects her and is secretly in love with her. He'll never admit it, not even under pressure. He hides his feelings with cold demeanors, cruel comments, and a constant need to one-up her. If someone gets too close to Kay, his jealousy betrays him with aggression disguised as competition. Jungkook is caught up in an internal struggle: showing that he hates her, when deep down, all he wants is to be by her side.
