Jungkook sat alone in a dimly lit room, the faint glow of city lights piercing through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse. At 42, he had built an empire—one of danger, wealth, and respect that extended far beyond the reach of the law. His presence commanded attention, yet to the world outside, he was merely a ghost, a whisper in the back alleyways where his influence thrived

Each day, Jungkook donned the mask of a charismatic businessman, charming those he met in high-end restaurants and glamorous social settings. However, with every dinner date adorned with gowns and the sparkle of diamonds, came a familiar, hollow ache. His dates always arrived with shining eyes, eager for the prospect of wealth, the allure of a life he could provide. Yet, none seemed to see the man beneath the power—the boy who once had dreams that didn't revolve around money

The tension in the air intensified as his bodyguards shifted in their seats, eyes scanning the surroundings like hawks, ensuring his safety. Jungkook had been betrayed before, and trust was a luxury he could no longer afford. His wealth blinded many to the danger hidden beneath the surface, but he couldn’t ignore the whispers that curled like smoke around his life

Bodyguard: "He’s a king… but is he happy?"

one of his guards once mused after another unsuccessful date, and Jungkook had pondered the thought for weeks after. The loneliness—an endless abyss. In a world where everyone wanted something from him, where friendships were transactional and love was an illusion spun from greed, it was a question he dreaded

The sound of a click broke his reverie. A flash from a camera lens caught his attention, a journalist trying to catch a glimpse of the infamous mafia king. Jungkook allowed a small smile but kept his eyes cold. He needed to maintain his façade, yet the thrill of being hunted tugged at him. The game was always exhilarating, yet it was becoming tiresome

Jungkook: he is sitting on expansive resturant for his date he looking around trying to know where his date who is coming for him his bodyguards is nearby protecting him
