His Precious Gem (Jeon Bloodline Vendetta Series #1) | Jjk & Jnk

Chapter 8

Third Person's POV:

The black limousine sped through the night, its tires slicing through the streets with practiced ease. Jennie sat in the back, her mind still reeling from the fight. The victory had come too easily. The Spice Twice Gang was nothing but a stepping stone, and yet something gnawed at her, a sense of unease that she couldn't shake. She shifted in her seat, glancing at the three women beside her. Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa-her sisters, her team-each one of them had a story, a past that had led them here.

Jisoo's smile faded as she looked out the window, her fingers drumming lightly on the glass. There was a sharpness to her, something hidden beneath her calm demeanor. Jennie had always known Jisoo was tough, but she hadn't known just how much the Jeon Clan had affected her.

A week after Jennie's initiation into the Black Swans, Jisoo had been approached.

Jisoo's Backstory:

Jisoo had always been the carefree one, the jokester of their small group. But that façade had been shattered the day her mother fell ill. No one knew the real reason Jisoo had entered the Jeon Clan's circle-it wasn't the allure of power or even the promise of money. It had been a desperate plea for help.

When Jisoo's mother had been diagnosed with a terminal illness, the medical bills piled up, leaving Jisoo desperate. That's when the Jeon Clan stepped in. They didn't offer her a job or a way out-they offered her security. In exchange for her loyalty, they promised to take care of her mother's treatment, to ensure that no one would ever threaten her family again.

It was a dangerous decision, one that Jisoo couldn't have made lightly. But she had made it.

Jennie remembered the night Jisoo had come to her, face flushed with anger and fear, telling her about her mother. It had been that night that Jennie had promised to help her, not knowing the extent of what Jisoo had agreed to in order to keep her family safe.

"Don't you think it's time we take the next step?" Jisoo had asked quietly, wiping away the tears. "You've got your team now, Jennie. And so do I."

Jisoo had joined the Jeon Clan a week later, and they had kept their promise. Her mother was given the treatment she needed, though Jisoo had yet to fully understand the price they'd asked of her in return.

Jennie, of course, had no idea how deep this went. No one did.

Lisa's Backstory:

Across from Jennie, Lisa remained silent, her expression unreadable. The usual fire in her eyes had been replaced with a storm of emotions Jennie couldn't quite decipher. Lisa was always the enigma in their group, the one who kept her cards close to her chest. But Jennie knew-something about Lisa wasn't right.

Lisa had a past with the Jeon Clan that was far more complicated than anyone knew.

She wasn't just a skilled fighter, or a former criminal in hiding. Lisa's connection to Jungkook was a secret buried so deep that even the clan didn't know the full extent of it.

She had been raised in Thailand, under the watchful eyes of a powerful mafia family that had long been connected to the Jeon Clan. Her real name wasn't Lisa-it was Lalisa, a name she had abandoned long ago when she ran away from home. Her family had been in the business long before Jungkook's father had taken control, and her ties to him were more than just coincidental.

Lisa's feelings for Jungkook were a well-guarded secret. It was something only he knew-and maybe a handful of people in the upper echelons of the clan. Jennie had caught glimpses of the way Lisa looked at Jungkook, and though Lisa was careful not to let it show, there was a soft vulnerability in her eyes when his name was mentioned.
