On this lovely spring morning, the air danced with the melodies of chirping birds and the delicate fluttering of butterflies, creating a mesmerizing display of colors in the well-kept garden. The various flowers in the beds added to the beauty, their petals sparkling with droplets from a light drizzle that had left everything looking fresh and renewed.

As the morning sun cast its golden glow, Jungkook's aura matched the authority of the garden below. His dark purple silk pyjama, casually left open, gave a glimpse of the sculpted form beneath. The shirt disclosed a warm, toned chest and traced down, revealing the charm of well-defined eight-pack abs. His morning hair, a tousled wave, framed a face that spoke of both deep thought and allure.

Draped in richness, Jungkook wore his opulence with grace. His silk pyjamas whispered of luxury, and a subtle gleam in his eyes hinted at sophistication. Standing there, he radiated affluence and allure. As morning unfolded, it painted a canvas around him, setting the stage for the intriguing story of a man adorned with both wealth and charm.

Of course, he's the one and only Jeon heir-the renowned top businessman in South Korea. The current CEO of Jeon Group, the biggest company in the country. Everybody knows Jeon Group, thanks to its charismatic CEO, and their brands that span across the globe. Jungkook's house isn't just a home; it feels like a sanctuary. The interior, a blend of deeper shades with touches of white, radiates a sense of well-being that you can almost feel in the air.

And it must be noted, he holds another title-he leads the most powerful underground mafia, known as the Dragon, where he is the revered Dragon King. A man of icy demeanour and sharp rudeness, his eyes carry a powerful aura that discourages direct gazes. Swift and unyielding, he can turn the tide within moments, leaving those responsible for any misstep lifeless. Yet, to the ordinary eyes, he's a dedicated 23-year-old businessman. What was passed down through generations now rests in his hands-the immense power and boundless wealth.

Yet, within these cherished principles, a resolute promise thrives. His dad's teachings firmly planted a commitment against smoking - an oath faithfully kept. As for alcohol, it's sipped with moderation, a gentle salute to the wisdom absorbed and a heartfelt tribute to the enduring guidance of a father that outlasts time. The garden, a breathing chronicle, softly shares tales of a bond unbroken by death's grasp.

In the tales of his family, there's a chapter about his step-brother, Kim Namjoon, whom his father adopted. The story lingers vividly in Jungkook's memory-a mission won, but amidst the triumph, they discover a baby boy, orphaned by tragedy, crying inconsolably beside his departed parents. From that fateful moment, Namjoon became a cherished addition to their family. Despite the adoption, Namjoon retained his surname, a deliberate choice by Mr. Jeon Deahyung, Jungkook's father, driven by the desire to unveil the truth one day.

Jungkook's pov

I still remember Dad calling us "my baby dragons" before laying down some serious wisdom. His words always had that touch of care, you know?. "Hey, Jungkookie, Namjoonie, gather 'round, my baby dragons... Listen up, okay?... Promise me one thing, never hurt innocent people. Dragons don't mess with the innocent...... Got it?..... Cool." Back then I was 9 and my hyung was 12, Dad shared these beautiful words with us. At the time, maybe I didn't completely get it, but he said the Jeon blood in me carries a deep legacy.

Just as I'm lost in thought, a soft knock on the door breaks the moment. With a sigh, I head inside, shutting the balcony door. "I'm coming," I say, swinging the door open to find Mom giving me that mix of gentle yet annoyed look, hands on her hips. Yep, trouble's brewing.

"Really, Kookie? It's already 7:54 am, and you're still in your nightclothes. Huh...are you a baby or what? .... Hurry up, breakfast is ready," she scolds, Mom playfully hit my head before walking away, muttering to herself. If anyone else dared to talk to me like that, they'd risk their existence, but hey, she's my mom - the exception to the rule. Despite being strict and a bit reserved, she treats me and Namjoon the same. Mom's into those flowery outfits, and let me tell you, she just carries herself with this really classy vibe.
