Flashback:
Hotel Room, just after Lia has left Jungkook and V locked inside. Jungkook sits bound, his jaw clenched and his pride shattered. He never imagined someone would challenge him this way—let alone make a fool out of him.]
Jungkook’s mind races with fury as he struggles against the restraints, replaying the humiliating scene over and over. His self-respect, his control—both torn apart by one woman.
Jungkook: [Seething, muttering to himself] “No one does this to me… no one.”
V, meanwhile, sits slumped on the floor, still processing the absurdity of the situation. As the initial shock wears off, he rises, moving quickly to untie Jungkook, his own face red with embarrassment.
V:[Grumbling] “I can’t believe this. She actually locked us in here… she humiliated us.”
Finally free, Jungkook tears the tie from his mouth, fury blazing in his eyes. He stands, brushing himself off, barely looking at V as he processes what just happened.
Jungkook: “She’s going to regret this. Mark my words.”
Outside, they’re met with a mix of nervous glances and whispers from the hotel staff. The shame of being seen like this—outsmarted by someone he thought he could control—is almost unbearable for Jungkook. His blood boils at the thought.
Jungkook: [To V, with icy determination] “Get her photo from the security footage. I want her information—everything.”
V nods, pulling out his phone and giving quick instructions to the hotel’s security team to locate and pull up the CCTV footage. Within minutes, a grainy image of Lia is displayed on his screen. Jungkook stares at her face with cold intensity, memorizing every feature.
Jungkook: [Murmuring to himself] “You don’t get to humiliate me and walk away unscathed.”
He clenches his fists, the urge to track her down growing by the second. This isn’t just about revenge—it’s about reclaiming the control he feels she took from him. He needs her to understand the gravity of her actions and to remind her who she tried to fool.
V: [Watching him cautiously] “We need to teach her the lesson she deserves.”
Jungkook: [Darkly, his eyes never leave her photo] “That ‘one woman’ dared to defy me. And now… I’m going to finish what she interrupted.”
With Lia’s face fresh in his mind, Jungkook’s patience is thin. He instructs his team to dig deeper, sparing no detail—her workplace, her daily routine, anything that can lead him to her. He’s determined to confront her again, to regain his lost pride and show her exactly what happens when someone crosses him.
Back to the present day, Lia sits on the bus, trying to push away the memory of Jungkook’s intimidating glare from earlier, but deep down, she feels an impending sense of dread. She knows he’s not the type to let things go easily.
