💋HIS RUTHLESS MAFIA QUEEN 👑

The girl everyone laughed at.

The courtyard slowly returned to normal after the shocking incident.

But the whispers didn’t stop.

If anything, they grew louder.

Students leaned close to each other, their voices full of disbelief.

“Did you see that?”

“She shoved him!”

“She pushed Jungkook and survived.”

Phones were already filled with videos of the moment.

And in every video, one thing was clear.

A quiet nerd had dared to push the most dangerous man in Seoul.

Vespera walked down the hallway toward her classroom.

Her steps were slow and steady, her face calm behind her glasses.

But inside her chest, her thoughts were sharp and controlled.

Interesting.

She had not planned to shove him.

But now something had changed.

Because the moment their eyes met…

She had seen something dangerous there.

Not anger.

Curiosity.

And curiosity in a man like Jungkook was far more dangerous than rage.

Behind her, footsteps echoed through the hallway.

Ara.

Minji.

And the rest of their group.

Ara’s voice cut through the noise.

Ara said loudly—

“You’ve got some nerve, new girl.”

Students stopped walking.

They knew exactly what was about to happen.

Ara grabbed Vespera’s shoulder and turned her around roughly.

Ara’s expression was no longer amused.

It was furious.

Ara said slowly—

“Do you know what you did out there?”

Vespera looked at her quietly.

Her voice remained soft.

Vespera said—

“I bumped into someone.”

Ara’s eyes flashed.

Ara said sharply—

“Don’t play dumb with me.”

She stepped closer.

Ara said—

“You humiliated me in front of him.”

Vespera didn’t respond.

Her silence only made Ara angrier.

Suddenly Ara grabbed the stack of books in Vespera’s arms and threw them down the hallway.

The books slid across the floor.

Students laughed nervously.

Minji clapped her hands dramatically.

Minji said—

“Oh wow, the nerd dropped her brain again.”

More laughter followed.

Ara crossed her arms.

Ara said coldly—

“Pick them up.”

For a moment, Vespera didn’t move.

Her fingers slowly curled at her sides.

Images flashed through her mind.

Men kneeling before her.

Enemies begging for mercy.

The name Black Panther whispered with fear.

And now…

She was kneeling in a hallway while spoiled children laughed.

Slowly, she bent down and began collecting her books.

The hallway filled with quiet giggles.

Ara crouched beside her.

Ara whispered cruelly—

“You look exactly how someone like you should look.”

She tilted her head slightly.

Ara said—

“Pathetic.”

At the far end of the hallway, someone was watching.

Jungkook leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.

Beside him stood Taehyun.

Taehyun shook his head.

Taehyun said quietly—

“Your stepsister is going too far.”

Jungkook didn’t respond immediately.

His eyes stayed on Vespera.

Watching.

Studying.

Taehyun glanced at him.

Taehyun said—

“You’re just going to stand here?”

Jungkook finally spoke.

His voice was calm.

Jungkook said—

“I’m observing.”

Taehyun frowned.

Taehyun said—

“Observing what?”

Jungkook’s eyes darkened slightly.

Jungkook said quietly—

“How long she can pretend.”

Back in the hallway, Ara stood up again.

She kicked one of Vespera’s books farther away.

Ara said mockingly—

“Oh no. You missed one.”

Minji burst into laughter.

Minji said—

“Maybe she needs glasses stronger than those.”

Vespera slowly stood up again, holding the books she had gathered.

She didn’t look angry.

She didn’t look embarrassed.

Her face was completely calm.

Which somehow made Ara even more irritated.

Ara stepped closer again.

Ara said slowly—

“You should transfer schools.”

Vespera looked at her quietly.

Ara continued, her voice dripping with cruelty.

Ara said—

“Because if you stay here…”

Her smile widened.

Ara said—

“I’ll make sure every single day of your life is miserable.”

Vespera adjusted her glasses.

Her voice remained soft.

Vespera said—

“That sounds exhausting.”

For a second, Ara blinked in surprise.

Then her expression darkened.

Ara said sharply—

“What did you say?”

Vespera shrugged slightly.

Vespera said calmly—

“Bullying someone every day must take a lot of energy.”

Students gasped quietly.

Ara’s face flushed with anger.

She raised her hand suddenly—

But before she could slap her—

A voice interrupted.

Deep.

Cold.

Dangerous.

Jungkook said—

“Ara.”

The entire hallway fell silent instantly.

Ara froze.

Slowly, she turned around.

Jungkook was walking toward them.

His hands were in his pockets, his expression calm.

But his presence alone made the air heavy.

Ara forced a smile.

Ara said nervously—

“Jungkook… I was just—”

Jungkook looked down at the books scattered across the floor.

Then he looked at Vespera.

His gaze was sharp.

Calculating.

He turned back to Ara.

Jungkook said calmly—

“You’re making a scene.”

Ara’s smile stiffened.

Ara said—

“She pushed you earlier.”

Jungkook shrugged slightly.

Jungkook said—

“And?”

Ara looked confused.

Jungkook’s eyes moved back to Vespera again.

He studied her face carefully.

The calm expression.

The quiet posture.

The lack of fear.

Something about her still didn’t make sense.

Finally, he spoke again.

Jungkook said quietly—

“You should go to class.”

For a moment, it wasn’t clear who he was speaking to.

Then Vespera realized he meant her.

She picked up the last book and walked past him without another word.

As she passed, Jungkook spoke softly.

Just loud enough for her to hear.

Jungkook said quietly—

“You're very patient.”

Vespera stopped walking.

Just for a moment.

Then she answered without looking at him.

Vespera said softly—

“Patience makes revenge sweeter.”

Jungkook’s smile slowly appeared again.

Because that sentence confirmed something important.

The girl everyone was laughing at…

Wasn’t prey.

She was a predator.

And sooner or later,

Someone on that campus was going to discover just how dangerous she really was.
