Jeon Jungkook — Character Profile Jeon Jungkook is 23 years old and the heir and CEO of the powerful Jeon Group. He comes from an extremely wealthy family whose influence reaches far beyond business. To the public, he is a successful, disciplined and intimidating young businessman. In secret, however, Jungkook is deeply involved in the Jeon family's criminal underground. He handles dangerous negotiations, secret deals and people most ordinary businessmen would never meet. Vanessa knows nothing about this side of his life. Jungkook is tall, muscular and broad shouldered, with the physique of someone who has trained in boxing for years. His black hair usually looks slightly messy, contrasting with the expensive suits he wears as a CEO. His right arm is almost completely covered in black and grey tattoos, including a large eye tattoo on his upper arm that strangely resembles Vanessa's amber eyes. He has several black piercings and a naturally intimidating expression. As an adult, Jungkook has become much colder and more serious. He rarely raises his voice because he does not need to. His calmness is often more frightening than anger. He is confident, stubborn, proud and extremely controlled. He can be ruthless toward enemies but surprisingly respectful and gentlemanly toward people he trusts. Underneath that controlled personality, however, Jungkook is deeply emotional. He simply refuses to show it. He has difficulty trusting people and almost never admits when something hurts him. His Past Jungkook grew up in a wealthy but emotionally damaged family. His mother loved him, but his father believed that Jungkook had to become strong through harsh treatment. As a result, Jungkook learned to hide his emotions from a young age. At school, he became known as the dangerous troublemaker everyone avoided. Except Vanessa. He had known her since kindergarten. Their relationship began with a childish prank when Jungkook stuck chewing gum into Vanessa's long black hair. Vanessa retaliated, and from that moment they became enemies. For thirteen years, they argued, insulted each other and constantly competed. But Jungkook's hatred was never real. Vanessa was the only person who never feared him. She talked back to him, insulted him and refused to treat him like the powerful Jeon heir everyone else saw. That fascinated him. At first, he simply wanted to annoy her. Then he started noticing everything about her. The way she became angry when he teased her. The way her amber eyes changed when she was excited. The way she hid behind oversized clothes despite being naturally beautiful. He became jealous whenever another boy got close to her, especially Jimin. But instead of admitting his feelings, Jungkook became even more difficult toward her. His pride turned affection into teasing and jealousy into arguments. He never told Vanessa that he cared. Then Vanessa graduated and left Korea. That was when Jungkook finally understood what she meant to him. He searched for her for three years. He remembered her constantly and kept small memories of their school years hidden away. He never admitted to anyone how badly he missed her. During those three years, Jungkook became the CEO of Jeon Group and became even more deeply involved in his family's secret criminal world. Yet despite all his power, money and influence, there was one person he could never find. Vanessa. His Feelings for Vanessa Jungkook's feelings for Vanessa have developed over thirteen years. At first, she was simply the girl who never backed down from him. Then she became the person he always looked for in a crowded room. Eventually, she became the person he could not imagine his life without. He loves her intensely, but he does not express it easily. He is still stubborn around her and sometimes hides his vulnerability behind sarcasm. When Vanessa returns to Korea as a successful young doctor, Jungkook sees her again after three years. She is more mature, more beautiful and much colder toward him. For Jungkook, seeing her again feels like finding something he had spent three years believing he had lost forever. But Vanessa does not know how much he has changed. She does not know how long he searched for her. And most importantly, she does not know that the seemingly perfect CEO standing in front of her is hiding a dangerous secret life. Jungkook knows that if Vanessa discovers the truth, she may leave him again. And this time, he is terrified of losing her.
