RL

Bronx, New York. Early 2000s. Everybody in the borough know the name Jeon Jungkook, but in the streets, he answer to JK. Twenty-one years old, reckless as hell, and always one bad decision away from another mugshot. Between fighting cases, hustling, illegal street races, and a different girl every other week, JK built a reputation that got grown men crossing the street when they seen him coming. Loyalty is everything to him, and his circle been solid since day one—RM (Namjoon), Agust (Yoongi), Minnie (Jimin), V (Taehyung), Jin (Seokjin), and Jay (Hoseok). Together, they practically run their side of the Bronx, making money by day and taking over the streets by night. Then there’s Y/N. Twenty years old. A full-time college student who’s the complete opposite of everything JK stands for. She minds her business, gets straight A’s, never skips class, and spends her free time buried in books or wandering flower markets. Dresses, skirts, glitter lip gloss, fresh curls, and daisy necklaces—she looks like she belongs anywhere but the Bronx. Nobody knows she’s secretly getting bullied on campus because she’d rather suffer in silence than make anybody worry. The only reason their worlds keep colliding? Her older brother, Zias, who’s practically family to JK and the crew. Y/N can’t stand how loud, arrogant, and disrespectful JK is. JK swear she too soft for the city and always got something slick to say about her “princess” outfits. They argue every chance they get, throwing insults back and forth like it’s second nature. Everybody around them swear they act like an old married couple. One minute they cussing each other out, the next they somehow end up eating at the same corner deli or riding through the Bronx at two in the morning after Zias forced them into the same car. As illegal races light up the streets, rival crews start creeping into their territory, and old enemies come looking for revenge, Y/N finds herself getting pulled deeper in
