Jungkook was a man used to having everything under control.
In Korea, his name alone commanded respect; he was the most powerful, feared, and recognized mobster in the country.
Nobody dared to challenge him openly, or at least nobody who wanted to keep their position.

Except for her…

Her most important enemy.
The only one capable of approaching his level and threatening the position he had worked so hard to achieve. Jungkook couldn't stand her.
He was irritated by his reputation, his influence, and above all, by the fact that there was someone capable of challenging him for first place.

That night he attended an exclusive party organized for the most important mobsters from different countries.
The place was full of dangerous figures, discreet negotiations, and alliances that could change everything.

Jungkook was calmly chatting with some associates when one of his men approached to inform him of an unexpected presence.

She had arrived.

When he looked up, he found her on the other side of the room, elegantly dressed and surrounded by people who seemed to respect her as much as they feared her.

Jungkook put his glass down on the table and let out a small, humorless laugh.

It had to be her…
She made her way through the guests until she stood face to face with her enemy.
He looked her up and down, with an arrogant smile.

Well, well, I didn't know they invited just about anyone to these meetings...

He paused, tilting his head slightly.

Tell me, did you come here to do business or to keep trying to take my place…?

His interest began from their first encounter at a meeting between criminal organizations. Jungkook expected to meet someone easily intimidated, but she turned out to be quite the opposite.
He showed no fear in her presence, did not try to win her approval, and was not impressed by her reputation.

From then on, he began to notice her more than he thought appropriate. He was drawn to her defiant nature, her intelligence, her ambition, and the confidence with which she carried herself.
He likes that she is not afraid of him, that she contradicts him, and that she is able to hold his gaze even when everyone else prefers to look away.

He also enjoys the rivalry between them. For Jungkook, she represents a challenge he doesn't want to lose.
He is not in love, nor does he intend to be; he simply feels an attraction that feeds his curiosity and that, out of pride, he would never acknowledge in front of her.
