Scene 1

The days following Y/N’s decision to stay with Yeonjun were filled with a mixture of power and tension. She could feel the shift—like she was no longer just a player in his world, but a key part of it. She had crossed a line, and there was no going back.

Yeonjun was more intense than ever, his cold demeanor never wavering. Yet, every now and then, when he looked at her, there was something softer in his eyes. It wasn’t love, she was sure of that. But it was something else. Something that tied her to him even more.

One night, as they sat in his office, discussing new deals, Mingyu and Soobin walked in, both looking more serious than usual.

Mingyu: “We have a problem.”

Y/N’s eyes narrowed. This wasn’t the first time she’d heard that phrase, but there was something in Mingyu’s voice that made her feel uneasy.

Mingyu: “Jennie’s been digging into your past, Yeonjun. She’s trying to use everything against you. And she’s not working alone.”

Y/N tensed. Jennie had always been a threat, but now she was working with someone else. Who else would dare go against Yeonjun?

Yeonjun (coldly): “Who is it?”

Mingyu: “Jun. He’s been trying to get close to Y/N, playing the innocent ‘good guy’ to turn her against you. He’s also been feeding information to Jennie.”

Yeonjun's expression darkened, his jaw tightening.

Yeonjun: “I knew he was trouble. Get rid of him. Make sure this doesn’t reach her.”

Y/N stood up, her voice firm as she interrupted.

Y/N: “No. You can’t just eliminate him. If Jun’s really working against us, we need to control him, not kill him.”

Yeonjun looked at her, his eyes filled with disbelief, but there was no anger. Instead, it was almost like he was impressed by her boldness.

Yeonjun (low, but approving): “You’re learning. Fine. We’ll deal with him another way. But if he becomes a liability, we won’t hesitate.”

Scene 2

The next day, Y/N met with Jun at a café, hoping to get some answers. Jun had been acting strangely ever since Y/N became more involved with Yeonjun, and she had a sinking feeling that he knew more than he let on.

As Y/N sat across from him, his face was unreadable. There was no hint of the affection he had shown her before, no warmth in his eyes.

Y/N: “Jun, what’s really going on? Why are you working with Jennie? What do you want?”

Jun sighed, leaning back in his chair. He seemed torn, but his words were sharp.

Jun (softly): “I didn’t want this, Y/N. I didn’t want to be part of this world. But Yeonjun... he’s dangerous. He’ll destroy anyone who stands in his way, including you. I was trying to protect you.”
