FORBIDDEN LOVE : JJK

"Aishh!!" the man hissed, slamming his hand down on the table. He shook his head and annoyed another snake's eyes. He was sure the dice were rigged. He looked at the dealer as the man reached across the table, pulling the chips into the pile.

He got paid today, and it was almost gone. He figured he needed to quit while he was ahead. He wiped his face with his hand getting up from the table. He headed to the nearest bar wanting to drown his sorrows in a bottle.

"What would you like to order, sir?" the bartender asked. When he sat down on the stool.

"Beer, a large one," he simply stated. Not looking up from the bar.

He looked around as he waited for his drink, rolling his eyes as the men he assumed were wealthy cheered in victory. He turned his attention back to the bartender when a glass appeared before him. He sighed, thanking the man behind the counter and raising the glass to his lips. He drank down the amber liquid. He set the glass down, wiping the alcohol from his lips as he heard his phone ring. Jungkook reached into his pocket with his other hand checking the caller ID before answering. However, he set the phone down on the bar when he saw the name on the screen, letting it go to voicemail.

That was the last person he wanted to talk to tonight.

He checked the time on his phone. It was getting late, not that anyone could tell by the number of people in the casino. It was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and on holidays. Unsurprisingly, it was getting busier as the night wore on. He stepped out of the door walking down the street. A black car with a black tint pulled up beside him, he stopped looking at his reflection in the stain, and the window cracked.

"Meet me in the alley," the voice said, rolling the window back up before he could answer.

He looked around, and there was no point in running. He was sure the guy had people watching him. How else did he know where he was? He took a steadying breath; walking a few feet, he turned down the alley, spotting the car and two big guys standing at the trunk waiting for him. As he walked up, one opened the back passenger door.

"Please have a seat, Jeon Jungkook." The man politely said to him, and he sat beside the man but still put a distance between them. He looked through the window, but the men still didn't leave their spot.

Jeon Jungkook, 26 years old, is a young and good-looking man from Busan. After graduation, he had difficulty finding a job to repay his scholarship loan. He had no choice but to work as a conductor at the harbor near his town. However, his salary was not enough to pay, and he decided to go to Seoul, hoping he could get a better job and life.

He went to several modeling auditions but has yet to get a response from the agencies. As his savings were getting low and he had to pay his rent, he finally decided to put the rest of his savings in a bet in a casino. But things got worse when he lost the gamble, and Jungkook had no choice and turned to a loan shark. He didn't realize that it was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his entire life.

Jungkook got an offer to be an agency model and thought his life would change. However, after a few months, the loan shark came to collect their money. His gambling addiction was getting out of control, and he couldn't control the urge to gamble even if he lost a lot of money. He invested almost all his salary in gambling, hoping the reward would be more valuable, but luck was never on his side.

"I don't have money now," Jungkook said to the loan shark leader before the man even asked.

The man huffed while smirking at his answer, "Then, where did you get money for gambling?" the man asked.

Jungkook went silent as he thought about it for a second. Before Jungkook could open his mouth, he flinched when the man put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him closer. He glanced over his shoulder just to see the man had a small jackknife in his hand.
