After days filled with laughter and camaraderie, a quiet evening settled over the shared apartment. Jimin and Taehyung, feeling a sense of familiarity with Kkum, decided to delve into more personal conversations.

As they gathered in the living room, surrounded by the soft glow of the city lights filtering through the windows, Jimin spoke up. "You know, we've shared a lot of stories about Jungkook's 'adventures,' but we haven't really talked about our families. What about yours, Kkum?"

Kkum, with a thoughtful expression, replied, "My family is in Ilsan, my birthplace. I moved to Seoul for my job at the art gallery. Ilsan holds a lot of memories, but I wanted to explore new horizons."

Taehyung, intrigued, asked, "Art gallery, huh? That sounds fascinating. What kind of art do you work with?"

Kkum's eyes lit up as she shared her passion for contemporary art and the joy she found in curating exhibitions. The trio listened with genuine interest, discovering a new facet of Kkum's life beyond the playful banter and fabricated tales.

As the conversation flowed, a sudden interruption broke the tranquil atmosphere. Jungkook's phone rang, and he excused himself to take the call, leaving the room momentarily.

In hushed tones, Jungkook's man on the other end of the line urgently spoke about a developing situation in their mafia world. Jungkook's expression shifted from the carefree demeanor of moments ago to a more serious and focused one.

Meanwhile, back in the living room, Jimin and Taehyung exchanged concerned glances. When Jungkook returned, his eyes held a hint of tension that hadn't been there before.

Jimin, sensing the shift, cautiously inquired, "Everything alright, Jungkook?"

Jungkook, choosing his words carefully, replied, "There's a situation that needs my attention. I'll have to handle it."

Taehyung, playing along with the act, added, "Yeah, we've got some... personal matters to attend to as well. Family stuff."

Kkum, noticing the change in atmosphere, asked with concern, "Is everything okay?"

Jungkook reassured her with a tight smile, "It's nothing serious. Just some unexpected family matters. We'll sort it out."

As they exchanged quick goodbyes, the trio left the apartment, leaving Kkum with a lingering sense of worry. Little did she know, the playful world of fabricated stories had momentarily brushed against the hidden realities of their intertwined lives.

The apartment, now filled with a subtle tension, stood as a silent witness to the intricate dance of laughter, camaraderie, and the concealed shadows that lurked beneath the surface. The delicate balance between their shared moments and the unspoken complexities hinted at a story that was far from reaching its conclusion.


Amidst the city's nightfall, the trio left Kkum's apartment, each step carrying the weight of unspoken tension. As they ventured towards their hidden world in the underbelly of Seoul, Jungkook's normally composed demeanor shifted into one of controlled fury.

Arriving at the dimly lit godown, Jungkook's face darkened as he received more details about the betrayal that had unfolded within his mafia organization. The air in the room grew heavy with his palpable anger.

Jungkook, standing amidst the shadows, spoke with a voice that cut through the silence like a blade. "So, you thought you could betray us and get away with it?"

The betrayer, visibly shaken, stammered an excuse that fell on deaf ears. In a swift and ruthless display of authority, Jungkook executed his retribution. The harsh sound of gunfire echoed in the godown, each shot punctuating the severity of the consequences for betrayal.

"You chose the wrong side," Jungkook hissed, his words dripping with cold resolve. "This is the price for treachery in our world."

As the lifeless body fell to the ground, Jungkook turned to his remaining men with a gaze that brooked no dissent. "Spread the word. Betrayal will not be tolerated. Loyalty is everything."

In the midst of the underworld's darkness, Jungkook's ruthlessness sent a chilling message to those who dared defy him. The shadows whispered of power and consequence, and the godown stood as a silent testament to the unforgiving reality of their clandestine existence.

Meanwhile, in the tranquility of her apartment, Kkum remained oblivious to the dark turn of events. Engrossed in her art, she worked on a canvas, the strokes of paint revealing the emotions beneath the surface.

As the trio dealt with the unfolding chaos, Kkum couldn't shake a feeling of unease. The air around her seemed charged with an unspoken tension. Her mind wandered to the stories they had shared, the laughter, and the fabricated tales that had masked the underlying complexities.

Sensing an inexplicable shift, Kkum found herself lost in thought. The joyous moments now felt like distant echoes, and the fabricated tales seemed like fragile masks hiding deeper truths. An invisible thread connected her to the trio, and in that moment, she wondered if the playful banter had been a façade, concealing the shadows that lingered in the periphery.

Little did Kkum know, her world and the underworld of Jungkook were on a collision course, and the delicate dance of their interconnected lives was about to take a turn into uncharted territory.
