Jungkook's expression hardened. "You don't know what you're asking, Nari. This isn't just about you. Lives are tied to yours. We could be walking into a storm, and I can't guarantee your safety."

Nari stepped closer, her resolve clear. "I know it's dangerous, but what's the alternative? Living in fear? Letting someone else control me? I won't let my past dictate my life. I'll face the storm head-on."

Jungkook studied her, admiration mixed with concern. "The reality is brutal. You think you're ready, but once we step into the light, there's no turning back."

"Then let's do it together," Nari said, unwavering. "I need to know who I am and what that means for my future."

Jungkook paused, considering. Finally, he sighed, a half-smile pulling at his lips. "If you're committed, we'll face it together. But you need to prepare for the truth-it's not kind."

"I'm ready," she affirmed, heart racing. "I want to know everything."

"Alright," Jungkook nodded. "We start with your mother. What did she tell you about your past? About your father?"

Nari's heart sank as memories surfaced. "She never spoke about him. When I asked, she changed the subject or got angry. She said he was gone, that he wasn't a good person. I thought it was to protect me."

Jungkook's expression softened. "Your father's legacy is complicated. He was involved in dangerous things, but he had a life beyond the shadows. He may have loved and been loyal."

Nari shook her head, disbelief in her voice. "How can you say that? If he was in the mafia, he was a monster."

"Not everything is black and white," Jungkook replied gently. "People get trapped by their circumstances. You might have inherited his strength, and that could help you on this path."

Nari's mind swirled with memories-faded images of a man with kind eyes, her mother's anger whenever she asked about him.

"I remember fragments... moments where I felt his presence. But then there was only silence and my mother's anger."

Jungkook listened intently. "These memories are crucial. Every detail counts. They'll help us understand the threats around you."

A shiver ran through Nari. "But what if they bring pain? What if the truth is too much?"

"Pain is part of the process," Jungkook said softly. "You have to face the darkness to find your strength."

Nari nodded, feeling a flicker of courage. "I'll dig deep and face whatever it takes to reclaim my life."

"Good," Jungkook said, determination in his eyes. "But we're not just facing your past. The consequences will reach us both. The truth will ripple through your life."

"What if they come after us?" Nari asked, anxiety creeping in. "What if we endanger others?"

"They may," Jungkook replied, somber. "We'll need allies-people who can protect us. We have to be strategic, gathering resources as we uncover the truth."

Nari's curiosity sparked. "Who are these allies? Can we trust them?"

Jungkook's eyes glinted. "You'll meet them soon. But trust is rare. We need to gather information on the threats we face first."
