Jungkook stood at the entrance of the apartment complex, a stark contrast to the lavish surroundings he was used to. This wasn't the high-rise penthouse he’d grown accustomed to, but a middle-class family’s humble abode. He could feel the buzz of anticipation in his chest, not from nervousness, but excitement—he was here to do something that mattered.

After his conversation with his father, he had practically flown to Jimin’s house, and the two of them had celebrated the news of the cruise trip with an impromptu dance in the living room. Between twirls and laughter, Jungkook had tasked Jimin with informing Jin, Yoongi, Hoseok, Yoonji, and Namjoon about the plan—everyone except Taehyung. That, he had decided, was a task he wanted to handle personally. 

With the address finally in hand, he now stood outside the entryway, his sleek luxury car parked neatly behind him. Jungkook’s outfit radiated effortless sophistication: a crisp white polo shirt tucked into tailored black jeans, paired with polished black shoes with a slight heel. His silver rings glinted in the sunlight as he adjusted the bouquet of purple lilies in his hands—a stunning arrangement that exuded both class and thoughtfulness. His tattoo peeked out from under his sleeve, adding an edge to his otherwise refined appearance.

In his other hand, he carried three designer shopping bags and a large box filled with chocolate-covered strawberries. The sunglasses resting on the bridge of his nose completed the look, giving him an aura of untouchable allure. His smirk was subtle but enough to command attention as he began his walk toward the building, his steps confident and rhythmic like a model striding down a runway. 

The moment he crossed the compound's threshold, the atmosphere seemed to shift. Heads turned, whispers sparked among the residents, and a few women, holding their children or walking in pairs, paused to watch the striking figure glide past. 

"Wow," one woman murmured to her companion. "What a lucky girl to have a boyfriend like him." 

"Look at those gifts!" another added, eyeing the bouquet and the bags with envy. "And he’s so handsome." 

Jungkook’s smirk deepened at the murmurs. He adjusted his grip on the bouquet and the box of chocolates as though to show them off, his stride never faltering.
