THE VILLAIN'S TALE
___THE DAY THE SUN FELT DIFFERENT___
The smell of toast and warm butter filled the apartment that morning.
Sunlight peeked through the half-drawn curtains, painting golden stripes across the breakfast table. It was supposed to be just another ordinary day — but something was… off.
Maybe it was the air, a strange heaviness that lingered.
Or maybe it was because someone, at the end of the table, was sulking over a strawberry milkshake.
JEON HYE-KYO |MC'S MOTHER
*Sigh…* how many times did I tell you, Jungkook?
JEON HYE-KYO |MC'S MOTHER
JEON HYE-KYO |MC'S MOTHER
*her tone patient but clearly on the edge* Eat properly, don’t sulk over it. I’ll make a banana milkshake for you next time!
Across the table, Jungkook sat with his cheek puffed, straw poking at the glass lazily.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Do we really have to leave? *he muttered, eyes fixed on the half-melted shake*
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
Yes, Jungkook! *replied firmly*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
But why? *lifted his head, his voice rising* I just finally made friends here! Or well… others wanted to be friends with me finally! And now all of a sudden, we have to move again!
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
*expression softened* Little one, I’m truly sorry. But the country needs me.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
It’s always like that! *burst out* We move from place to place, and in the end, I’m the one who has to compromise! 💢❄️
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
Dear, *said gently* I can’t leave you and your mumma alone here. And moreover, why are you against it anyway? You have a friend there — it’s not a new place. You’re just going back home. *He smiled as if that solved everything*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Home? *scoffed* That place doesn’t even feel like home anymore. And what about my school year? I’m in my second-last year, you know that, right? I can’t just leave in the middle! ❄️
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
You don’t have to worry about that, love *said, chuckling softly* I already took care of it. Everything’s all good.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Fine!! But this is the last time! I'm not going to change my school anymore! ❄️ *with a pout*
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
*chuckle* sure whatever you say love~
Soon after the breakfast, Jungkook went to pack his bags While he doesn't want to but he doesn't have any options left~
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
*look at the screen and take the phone but make sure it away from his ears*
UNKNOWN
BI*** I'M SOOOO EXCITED! FINALLY I CAN KICK YOUR ASS! *excitedly loud voice* *on call*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
I knew it! b**ch! *said in a boring tone* *on call*
UNKNOWN
What!? Scared enough? *chuckle* *on call*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
F*** off! I'm not in a mood right now! *on call*
UNKNOWN
Why? What happened? Let me guess~ you don't want to come back, do you? *on call*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
... *on call*
UNKNOWN
Yeh! Kookie trust me! I will entertain you well enough~ *on call* *chuckled*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
we will see about that! *cut the call after saying that*
___WHEN THE SKY FELL___
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
[I don’t wanna go back to Seoul… but when do I ever get a choice?] *sigh*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Mom, Dad… I’ll be back in a minute. *get up*
JEON HYE-KYO |MC'S MOTHER
But—
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
*held her hand and looked towards Jungkook and nodded* go!
He walks toward the washroom, that uneasy heaviness still sitting in his chest since morning.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
[Why do I feel like something’s wrong…?] *Coming back, a small bookstore catches his eye*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Maybe a book will distract me on the flight… *murmur to himself*
He walks in, casually scanning the shelves.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Dad? *on call*
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
Jungkook, the boarding just started. Come quickly! *on call*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Ah—okay! Coming! *on call*
In a hurry, he grabs a random book, pays, and rushes out.
Jungkook near the window with his mom and dad, staring out the window as the plane takes off.
Thirty minutes pass before he finally checks the book.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
A reborn novel… huh? *He flips the page*
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
The male lead’s name is Jungkook? What a coincidence. *He chuckles lightly and continues reading*
A loud BOOM shakes the plane.
People scream. The lights flicker. The plane tilts sharply.
UNKNOWN
What’s happening?! 😨
UNKNOWN
Oh my god—engine! The engine’s on fire!! 😨
Jungkook snaps his head toward the window—flames streak across the wing.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
No… no, no. *😨*
But beside him, his parents are strangely calm.
His mother takes his hand, squeezing gently.
JEON HYE-KYO |MC'S MOTHER
Jungkook… whatever happens, we’re with you. *soft trembling voice*
His father wraps an arm around them both.
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
Stay close. It’ll be okay.
Jungkook’s throat tightens.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
No, don’t say that. We’re going to be fine. Right? RIGHT?! *trembling and shaky voice*😨
But the plane jerks violently—oxygen masks drop.
JEON HYE-KYO |MC'S MOTHER
My baby… I love you. *smile lightly* 🙂
JEON MOO-JIN |MC'S FATHER
Be strong, son. *smiling lightly*
A tear slips from Jungkook’s eye.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
I don’t want to die. Not yet. I have so much left. I’m not ready…Ma! Pa! Don't! *sobbing*
Another explosion echoes outside.
People scream, cry, pray—chaos everywhere.
Jungkook hugs his parents tightly.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
[Please… someone… save us—]
___THE JEON JUNGKOOK___
He shoots up, panting, sweat dripping from his forehead. His heart beats like it’s trying to escape his chest.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
Where… where am I? *looks around*
A huge, luxurious bedroom—dark walls, golden accents, velvet curtains. Everything screams money… power… danger.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
What… the hell…?
He stumbles off the bed and nearly trips on the marble floor. His eyes fall on a mirror across the room.
JEON JUNGKOOK |MC
What…? *whisper slowly*
He slowly walks toward it, breath shaky.
The face staring back is Jungkook… yet sharper, colder, carved like a weapon. His jawline could cut glass, his shoulders broader, his entire presence darker.
His hand trembles as he touches his cheek.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
Jungkook… *whispering*
But no warmth. No familiarity.
Just an aura that screams danger.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
[This isn’t my body… This can’t be real.]
Like being hit by a truck—
Reality crashes into him.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
I… I died. I died in that plane crash… *a shiver runs down his spine.*
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
If I died… then whose body is this? *look back in the mirror*
He turns—and his breath leaves his lungs.
On the wall is a huge framed portrait.
The same face.
The same sharp cold eyes.
But dressed in a black suit, looking like the devil himself.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
AHH—! *hold his head*
Broken pieces of someone else’s life.
A man standing with a gun.
A mafia throne room.
People kneeling.
Someone shouting his name—
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
No… no way… *stumbled*
UNKNOWN
*A cold voice whispering* You’re the villain of this world~
He gasps and grabs the side table to stop himself from falling.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
This Jungkook… isn’t me.
His mind races back to the book he grabbed at the airport.
The reborn novel.
The one where the male lead’s name was Jeon Jungkook.
A cold, merciless mafia king.
A villain who was destiny to die.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
…I reincarnated into that novel. *He feels his blood run cold*
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
I’m the villain Jungkook…?! *whispered to himself*
A loud knock suddenly shakes the door.
UNKNOWN
Boss? Are you awake? The council is waiting.
JEON JUNGKOOK| MC 🩶
Boss…?! *Jungkook’s eyes widen*
His new life had started.
And it was nothing like the one he left behind.
