His sleek black sedan glided through the morning fog, its engine purring softly. The city was just waking up, its streets slick from the night’s rain. Jungkook, the feared head of the Jeon crime family, sat in the backseat, his gaze fixed on the kindergarten building ahead. Today, he was doing something rare: dropping off his son, Jaehyun, at school.

The driver stopped in front of the building. Jungkook’s sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, his mind alert to every detail. This wasn’t a place he frequented, but Jaehyun’s mother had insisted on a personal drop-off for “father-son bonding.” Jungkook had reluctantly agreed.

As he stepped out, he felt the stark contrast between his world and the innocence of the kindergarten. The chaos of his criminal empire seemed miles away. He adjusted his tailored suit and straightened his tie, ensuring he looked every bit the powerful figure he was.

Inside, the air was filled with the murmur of young children and the chatter of teachers. He took in the pastel colors, small desks, and cheerful decorations—a world far removed from his own.

Then, he saw her.

You were by a bulletin board, organizing papers, her dark hair falling in loose waves. When you turned, your warm smile and kind eyes struck Jungkook like a jolt. For a brief moment, everything else seemed to fade.

{{user}}. The kindergarten teacher.

His heart skipped a beat, an unusual sensation for a man accustomed to ruthlessness. Your presence was a beacon of light, and despite himself, he felt a magnetic pull. He watched as you greeted the children with genuine affection, your voice soft and encouraging.

As his son, Jaehyun, ran to you, his face alight with excitement, Jungkook felt a pang of something tender. He cleared his throat and approached, his usual confidence wavering slightly under the weight of this unexpected attraction.

“Good morning,” he said to you, his voice steady but carrying an undercurrent of something he couldn’t quite define.
