The atmosphere in the Park family mansion was thick with anticipation. Seungri paced back and forth in the grand hall, glancing at the ornate clock every few minutes. He was waiting for his sister, Hee-jin, who had been away for years. Her return was shrouded in mystery, but Seungri sensed it would mark a significant turning point for the family.
As the door creaked open, Hee-jin stepped inside, exuding a commanding presence. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her confident stride made it clear that she was ready for whatever challenge lay ahead. But she wasn’t alone. Walking in beside her was her husband, Bang PD, a man of few words but immense influence, and trailing behind them was their son, Yongjun, a young man with sharp eyes that took in everything.
“Seungri,” Hee-jin greeted, a playful smile dancing on her lips. “Did you miss me?”
“More than you know,” he replied, pulling her into a tight embrace. “You’ve been gone too long. Finally you are back?”
Hee-jin’s expression shifted to seriousness as she settled into a chair, her gaze piercing. “I’ve come back to reclaim what’s ours and to avenge our enemies. But first, I want to know about Taeil’s accident. I heard he was injured.”
Bang PD, who had remained silent, finally spoke, his voice calm but authoritative. “We’ve heard unsettling rumors, Seungri. What really is going on happened?”
Seungri’s face darkened, memories flooding back. “It was a serious incident. He was lucky to survive with only a slight scratch, but it shook the family to its core. Our enemies are getting bolder, and it’s becoming harder to keep them in check.”
Yongjun, who had been quietly listening, tilted his head, curiosity evident in his eyes. “who did that to him? Is that why we’re here?”
Hee-jin glanced at her son, her expression softening momentarily before turning back to Seungri. “He’s right. Have you found out who’s responsible?”
Seungri shook his head. “Not yet, but we suspect it’s linked to the Kims. They’ve been stirring up trouble for a while now. But it’s not just them anymore.”
Bang PD exchanged a glance with his wife, his face unreadable. “The Kims...and?”
Seungri’s jaw tightened. “It’s worse than we thought. The Baes have aligned with them. They’ve sealed the deal through marriage. Irene Bae, the wildest bitch of the family, married into the Kim family a few weeks ago. Since then, the Baes have consolidated their power with the Kims and the Jeons. Together, they’re targeting us, and they’re pulling in every other business group to isolate us.”
Hee-jin’s eyes narrowed. “The Baes… That explains a lot. Their connections in the business and entertainment industries have given the Kims the upper hand in multiple deals recently. I had my suspicions.”
“That’s not all,” Seungri continued, pacing again. “It’s not just about social power or business leverage. They’ve gotten the police and political figures involved. There’s an investigation going on behind the scenes, targeting our family’s dealings. They’re trying to cut off every source of influence we have.”
Bang PD’s eyes darkened. “So, the Kims, Jeons, and now the Baes are uniting through marriage and alliances. They’re not just challenging our businesses anymore. They’re building power to uncover the truth and dismantle us.”
Yongjun, sensing the seriousness of the conversation, asked, “Why are they all coming together now? What changed?”
Hee-jin’s smile was grim, almost bitter. “Because they’re starting to figure out the truth. They’re connecting the dots about the past—about what we did. And now, they want revenge for the pain we caused. The Baes are just fueling the fire with their influence and alliances.”
Bang PD leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. “It’s not just about revenge or power anymore. They’re trying to correct the wrongs we set in motion. The Kims want to reclaim everything that was stolen from them, and with the Baes on their side, they think they can.”
Seungri paced, his mind racing. “They think they can piece everything together and expose us. But it’s too late. We’ll strike first.”
Hee-jin’s expression hardened as she stood and turned toward the window. “We started this by making conflict between them all those years ago. We set their families against each other. And now, Jungkook and Taehyung—those two who should’ve been enemies—are coming together. If they continue to dig deeper, they’ll destroy us.”
Seungri’s face darkened. “Jungkook and Taehyung are more than just allies now. Their bond is growing stronger, and that’s dangerous for us.”
Bang PD exchanged a tense glance with his wife. “If the Jeons and Kims unify, they’ll come after us. We need to divide them before they find out everything.”
Hee-jin turned, her voice filled with resolve. “We’ll use that bond against them. There’s always a weakness when emotions are involved. We can exploit it, just like we did before.”
Bang PD nodded. “I’ll make the calls. We’ll start by breaking their alliances and making sure they don’t have time to investigate further.”
Yongjun, who had been watching quietly, finally spoke again. “So, we’re going to stop them before they figure everything out?”
Hee-jin gave her son a brief smile. “Yes, but this time, it won’t be so easy. We’re not just fighting the Kims anymore. They’re uniting with everyone we’ve wronged, including the Baes. We have to be smarter, faster.”
Seungri, his mind turning over every detail, paced back and forth. “I’ve already reached out to our old allies. They’re ready to move when we give the word, but we need to act carefully. Jungkook and Taehyung are more of a threat together than we ever expected.”
Hee-jin’s eyes gleamed. “Then we’ll make sure they fall apart before they can come after us. We’ll turn their alliance into a weakness. They won’t even see it coming.”
