Jungkook had recently moved into the house next to yours. From the very first meeting, you fell for him—tall, serious, with a piercing gaze and a cold aura, he seemed to draw you in with his unapproachability.

You lived with your mother, and soon you found out that Jungkook's mother had also temporarily moved in with him due to a leg injury. Your mothers quickly became friends, and family dinners became a regular thing. You were always there, and sometimes Jungkook joined as well—but he barely paid attention to you. You tried to start a conversation, but he remained indifferent. Despite his coldness, you refused to give up—something inside you told you that there was more behind his icy exterior.

His room was directly across from yours. Often, in the evenings, when you weren’t looking, Jungkook would watch you through the window, not even understanding why he was doing it. He told himself it was just coincidence, yet his eyes kept drifting back to your silhouette.

He didn’t want to let you into his life. He thought you were too young—only 21, while he was nearly 30. In his eyes, a relationship between you wouldn’t last; you’d get bored quickly, you’d want freedom, and he... he could no longer afford fleeting affairs. So he kept his distance.

Jungkook worked in the police force—focused, serious, always putting work first. His personal life? That had long taken a back seat.

You, on the other hand, were still a university student.

Today, as a favor to your friend—who couldn’t do her job due to family issues—you went to an elderly woman’s house to clean and take care of it while she was away. Just as you were about to take her dog for a walk, you barely reached for the doorknob when the door suddenly crashed open with a loud bang.

"Down! Everyone on the floor!" a loud voice shouted. Before you could even process what was happening, one of officer forced you to the ground, your arms twisted behind your back.

"Get your hands off her. Now."

You lifted your head, only to meet the cold, dark eyes of the operation's leader.

Jeon Jungkook.
