Strings Attached

Introduction

✿⁠ 

Jeon Jungkook.

The name alone sent shivers down spines. He was the notorious leader of The Jeons—the most feared and ruthless gang in the country. At just nineteen, he inherited the legacy from his father, and now at twenty seven, he had taken the empire to new heights.

In only eight years, Jungkook expanded The Jeons beyond underground dominance, carving a powerful name in the legitimate business world too. Known for his cunning intelligence and merciless brutality, he ruled the airways, sea routes, and roads. His “trade” knew no limits. His father had trained him to survive—and thrive—in both worlds.

As for love? It was nearly non-existent. His desires were fleeting and often satisfied within the walls of his private clubs. From police to politicians, no one dared interfere in his empire. Jungkook believed in achieving what he wanted—by any means necessary. What he desired, he took.

Jung Y/N.

A third-year medical student, and the cherished daughter of CEO Jung Haejin—one of Korea’s most respected businessmen. She was the heart of her small, powerful family. Her older brother, Jung Mingyu, already served as Vice President of Jung Enterprises. He adored her more than anyone else.

Her mother, a gentle homemaker, had once been the glue of their world. But tragedy struck when Y/N was just sixteen. Her mother never returned from an errand—and after filing a missing person’s report, they found her too late. The doctors said she could have been saved if she had arrived at the hospital earlier. That day left a deep, unhealed scar in Y/N’s heart.

Her father, devastated, never considered remarrying. He remained loyal to the memory of his late wife. Mingyu grew colder to the world—but never to his family.

Driven by loss, Y/N chose medicine—to save others the pain she couldn’t escape. Her father supported her dreams, always letting both his children choose their own paths. Mingyu, now twenty eight, was preparing to take full charge of the family empire.

Y/N was sincere and kind-hearted. Her university peers admired her lively spirit and selflessness. Evening tea with her father was a daily ritual neither of them could miss. Mingyu, ever the protective brother, guarded her innocence like a shield.

She was like the calm breeze of spring.
He was the storm.
Two souls from opposite worlds—destined to collide.

If you enjoy slow-burn tension, emotional chaos, and dangerously captivating characters—this one’s for you.
