Jungkook, CEO of Jeon Corps, strode into the luxurious hotel ballroom, his sharp eyes scanning the room for potential clients and competitors. He spotted the Kim family across the room, and his gaze locked onto the youngest son, Taehyung. Blonde hair and blue eyes sparkled like diamonds in the light, and Jungkook's scowl deepened.

"Who's the pretty boy?" Jungkook asked his assistant, his voice low and dismissive.

"That's Kim Taehyung, sir. The youngest son of the Kim family," his assistant replied. "He's a medical student, I believe."

Jungkook snorted. "A doctor? Please. He's probably only studying medicine because his family told him to."

(A/n : aren't you judgemental coconut)

As he made his way through the crowd, Taehyung turned to face him, a bright smile on his face. "Jungkook-sshi! It's great to finally meet you!"

Jungkook's expression twisted in distaste. "Taehyung. I've heard a lot about your family's... philanthropic efforts."

Taehyung's smile faltered for a moment before he recovered. "Yes, we're very passionate about giving back to the community. Perhaps we can discuss ways to support each other's endeavors?"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "I doubt it. But I'm happy to chat with you for a bit. For appearance's sake, of course."

As they exchanged awkward small talk, Jungkook couldn't help but notice Taehyung's naivety and enthusiasm. He seemed to genuinely believe that their families' rivalry was just a minor hurdle. Jungkook's disdain grew. This was the man who thought he could take on the mighty Jeon Corps with his idealistic views and charming smile?

Meanwhile, Taehyung was trying to make a good impression, but Jungkook's cold demeanor and piercing gaze made him feel like an insect under a microscope. He couldn't help but wonder why Jungkook seemed to dislike him already.

Taehyung's smile began to feel like a strain as Jungkook's condescending gaze bore into him. He couldn't believe the CEO of Jeon Corps was being so openly hostile. "I see," Taehyung said, his voice cooling. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Jungkook-sshi. But I think I've had enough of your... hospitality."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that Taehyung was pushing back. "Oh, leaving so soon? I'm disappointed."

Taehyung's eyes narrowed. "Disappointed? You're the one who's been radiating disdain since I approached you. I'm just sparing myself further discomfort."

With a nod, Taehyung turned to leave, but Jungkook's voice stopped him. "Taehyung."

Taehyung turned back, his expression polite but cold. "Yes?"

Jungkook's smile was icy. "Don't think this is the last you've seen of me, Doctor. Our families will be... acquainted soon enough."

Taehyung's eyes flashed with annoyance, but he kept his tone even. "I'm shaking with anticipation."

As Taehyung walked away, Jungkook's gaze followed him, his expression unreadable. But Taehyung could feel the weight of his disdain, like a shadow cast over the room.

The tension between them was palpable, a crackling energy that promised a stormy future. Little did they know, their families' rivalry was only the beginning of a far more complicated tale.

Ohhhhhh their love and hate game starting
