The One I'll Be (JungKook Version)

Prologue

The night air was crisp, a sharp contrast to the stifling warmth that often enveloped her days. Ella Huntson pulled her coat tighter around her shoulders as she walked the empty streets of her college town. The glowing screen of her phone read 2:45 AM, but sleep was a distant thought, lost somewhere between her restless mind and the quiet night.

Ella lived in a world where everyone seemed to know their place. Her parents had charted a course for her life from birth, each expectation a stepping stone towards a future they had meticulously planned. But Ella had always been different. She questioned the path laid out for her, searching for something more, something that resonated with her true self.

As she wandered, the events of the evening played on a loop in her head. Swiping left on Tinder profiles had become a mindless habit, a futile attempt to fill the void of loneliness that echoed through her soul. Just when she was ready to give up, a new match had appeared—a face she didn't remember swiping right on but found intriguing nonetheless.

His name was Jeon JungKook. His profile was sparse, yet something about him caught her attention. Maybe it was the mystery, or perhaps the hint of darkness in his eyes. Ella wasn't sure, but she was drawn to him in a way she couldn't explain. A spontaneous decision to meet a stranger felt like a rebellion against the predictability of her life.

JungKook's life had been anything but predictable. Raised in a good household, he had yearned for attention that never came. In his search for belonging, he had fallen in with the wrong crowd, becoming a dealer to feel a sense of control. He had scars, both seen and unseen, that shaped him into the man he was—a man trying to find his way out of the darkness.

Their worlds collided on a chance encounter at a bar, each seeking something they couldn't find alone. For Ella, it was an escape from the constraints of her upbringing. For JungKook, it was a glimmer of hope in a life filled with shadows.

As she walked through the silent streets, Ella felt the weight of her decisions. She was on a journey of self-discovery, guided by a heart full of hope and a spirit yearning for freedom. Meeting JungKook was just the beginning. Together, they would navigate the complexities of their pasts and the uncertainties of their future.

The prologue of Ella's new life had begun, with JungKook as a pivotal character in her story. In the quiet moments before dawn, as darkness gave way to light, Ella made a silent vow—to embrace the unknown, to chase her dreams, and to write her own destiny.
