Two years later...

The city lights sparkled outside Y/N's window as she glanced at her reflection, barely recognizing the woman she had become. It had been two years since she left everything behind—the heartache, the betrayal, and the man she had once loved with everything she had. Now, she was Y/N, the rising star in her field, thriving in a way she never imagined during her darkest days.

The fashion industry was fierce, but Y/N had carved out a space that was all hers, earning her accolades and a massive following. And now, at the peak of her success, it was Jungkook's turn to witness the transformation.

The grand ballroom shimmered with elegance. High-profile celebrities and influencers mingled, the air buzzing with chatter, laughter, and the clinking of champagne glasses. It was a night of celebration for those at the top of the fashion industry, and Y/N was one of the most anticipated guests of the evening. Though she had only risen to fame recently, her work was making waves, and the name she used—Lena—was now a brand of its own.

What the world didn't know was that Lena was none other than Y/N, who had left her old life—and her old self—behind after Jungkook's betrayal. She had reinvented herself, throwing everything into her career, transforming from the broken girl Jungkook had once known into a powerhouse of her industry. Her fame had risen so quickly and with such force that she became untouchable.

As she entered the hall, her sharp eyes scanned the room, her presence demanding attention. Dressed in a sleek black dress, her hair pulled back in a bold, elegant style, Y/N—now Lena—was unrecognizable to those who had known her as the quiet, soft-spoken girl she used to be. She had transformed in every sense of the word, burying the pain and betrayal deep beneath the success she had worked so hard to achieve.

Jungkook had been invited to the event by a colleague, unaware that this night would bring him face-to-face with the woman he had once loved—and destroyed. He had spent the last two years trying to move on, regretting the day he had betrayed her. Y/N had disappeared from his life without a trace, and though he had tried to forget her, the guilt lingered.

He wasn't expecting to see her tonight, but when he laid eyes on Lena, something inside him stirred. She was captivating, her aura commanding the room in a way that made his heart skip a beat. He felt drawn to her, as if fate had led him here. Yet, he couldn't shake the feeling that he knew her. Now, as one of the event's invited guests, he was here to network, to rebuild his crumbling reputation. But he had no idea that the very woman he had been trying to forget was in the same room, under a new name—Lena.

As Jungkook sipped his drink, his attention was drawn to the woman making her way through the crowd, effortlessly commanding attention. There was something strikingly familiar about her, though he couldn't quite place it. Her confidence, her elegance—it was magnetic.

"Who is she?" he asked one of his colleagues, gesturing toward Y/N.

"Oh, that's Lena," the man replied, awestruck. "She's the rising star of the fashion world. Everyone wants to work with her, but she's selective. She's not just about the fame—she's about making a statement."

Jungkook nodded absentmindedly, still staring at her. Lena. The name didn't ring a bell, but something about her... something tugged at his chest. It wasn't until she turned slightly, her profile illuminated by the chandeliers, that Jungkook's breath caught in his throat.

It was Y/N.

No, it couldn't be. Y/N had disappeared from his life after they broke up. She wasn't in the spotlight, wasn't this confident, powerful woman. Yet, the resemblance was undeniable.

Y/N saw the moment Jungkook recognized her, his shock evident as his jaw tightened, his eyes wide with disbelief. For a second, she felt a flicker of satisfaction. He had no idea what she had become, how far she had come after leaving him. And now, she would have the final say.

She approached him, her expression unreadable. "Jungkook," she greeted, her voice cold, devoid of any emotion.

"Y/N..." His voice faltered. "I—I didn't know you'd be here. I didn't even recognize you."

"I know," she replied smoothly, her gaze steady. "People change."

Jungkook swallowed, unsure of what to say. He could feel the weight of his past mistakes pressing down on him. "I've missed you," he admitted softly, his eyes pleading. "I've been trying to reach you for two years. I'm sorry for what I did. I know I don't deserve forgiveness, but I want—"

Y/N raised a hand, stopping him mid-sentence. "This isn't about forgiveness, Jungkook." Her voice was sharp, cutting through the haze of emotions he was drowning in. "What you did to me was unforgivable. You cheated on me, and then you ran away, too much of a coward to face the consequences."

Jungkook's face paled. "I was a fool. I know that now. But I've changed. I've spent every day wishing I could take it back."

Y/N let out a bitter laugh. "And what makes you think I want you back now? That I would ever even consider giving you another chance?"

Jungkook took a step closer, desperation creeping into his voice. "Because I love you, Y/N. I was wrong, but I want to make things right. Please—"

Y/N's eyes glinted with something fierce. "You want to make things right?" she repeated, her voice dangerously low. "Let me tell you something, Jungkook. I didn't wait for you. I didn't spend these past two years mourning the man who betrayed me. I became Lena. I built a career without your support, without anyone's help, and I did it better than you ever imagined."

Her words hit him like a storm, each one a painful reminder of what he had lost.

"And now..." She stepped even closer, her voice soft but lethal, "now I get to watch you grovel, thinking you can somehow fix what's broken. But the truth is, I don't need your apologies. And I certainly don't need you."

Jungkook's heart sank, the weight of her words crushing his hopes. "Y/N, please, I—"

"No," she interrupted, her tone final. "You don't get to have me back. Not now, not ever."

Jungkook's chest tightened as the reality of the situation dawned on him. Y/N wasn't the broken woman he had left behind. She was stronger, more powerful, and utterly out of his reach.

And as he stood there, desperate and defeated, Y/N turned away, ready to walk out of his life for good.

But she paused, 

"Oh, and Jungkook?" she said, her voice laced with sweet, cold revenge. "While you've been busy regretting what you did, I've been living my best life. You're nothing but a memory now—a lesson in what I'll never tolerate again."

Y/N stared at him, her expression unreadable. Then, slowly, she leaned in, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Oh, I'll give you something, Jungkook."

Jungkook's heart soared—was this his chance?

But Y/N's next words hit him like ice.

"You see, for the past two years, I didn't just rebuild my life. I became the best in the business. And guess what? Every opportunity you've been trying to get in this industry? Every deal that's mysteriously slipped through your fingers?"

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock.

Y/N's smile was cold and deadly. "That was me. Every. Single. Time."

He felt the ground shift beneath him as the realization hit. She had been orchestrating his downfall, strategically placing herself in positions of influence, ensuring that he never got the opportunities he needed. She had been controlling his professional demise from the shadows, and he hadn't even known.

"You... you did this?" he stammered.

"Of course," she replied calmly, her voice dripping with satisfaction. "You didn't think I'd just move on without making you feel the consequences, did you? I made sure your career would stall, that you would struggle, just like I struggled when you broke me. You will never rise in this industry again. Every door you try to open, I've already locked."

Jungkook's breath quickened, panic flooding his system. Everything he had worked for, everything he had been trying to rebuild, was now crumbling, all because of her. And she wasn't even done yet.

"You'll never succeed here, Jungkook," Y/N continued, her voice as sharp as a knife. "Because as long as I'm in control, you'll always be a step behind. This industry is mine now, and you? You're just a memory—a man whose betrayal cost him everything."

She took a step back, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "So yes, Jungkook, this is your apology tour. But I'm not interested in hearing your words. I'm only interested in watching you lose everything like you made me lose my heart."

With that, she left him standing alone in the crowded room, his heart in shambles, realizing he had lost her forever—not just her love, but the chance to ever be part of her life again.

A Month Later...

The headlines flashed across every major media outlet: "Jeon Jungkook's Business Declares Bankruptcy: A Deal Gone Wrong."

It was the talk of the industry. Jungkook, once the rising star, was now reduced to a cautionary tale of betrayal and failure. The same man who had seemed unstoppable two years ago, who had destroyed Y/N's heart with his infidelity, now found himself at the bottom. His company had collapsed, investors had pulled out, and his once-glittering future in the business world had been swallowed whole by failure.

But the real kicker? The final nail in the coffin was driven by none other than Y/N herself.

After Jungkook's public humiliation at the gala a month ago, Y/N hadn't stopped. She played the game ruthlessly, solidifying deals behind the scenes that would ensure his business demise. Her final move? Signing the deal that Jungkook had been banking on to save his company.

The merger he had so desperately needed to keep his business afloat had been stolen from him by Y/N's company, which was now the undisputed leader in the market. Jungkook had bet everything on that deal, thinking it would be his comeback. Instead, it was the moment he lost it all.

Y/N's Victory

Sitting in her sleek office, Y/N scrolled through the articles detailing Jungkook's downfall, a satisfied smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. She had come full circle. Two years ago, she had been the one drowning in heartbreak, betrayed and abandoned by the man she loved.

Now? She was unstoppable.

Her business had skyrocketed, and the industry couldn't stop talking about Lena, the powerhouse who had quickly become number one. No one could touch her success. She was untouchable, a force that no one dared to cross.

Jungkook had lost everything—his business, his reputation, and the woman he once betrayed. And now, he had to watch as the very person he had once underestimated stood at the top, commanding the industry with an iron grip.

Jungkook's Final Realization

As the reality of his situation sank in, Jungkook sat in his now-empty office, staring at the bankruptcy papers in front of him. He had nothing left. No company, no money, no respect. The people who had once admired him were nowhere to be found. The empire he had built was in ruins, and it was all because of his own mistakes.

But the worst part? The one person responsible for his downfall was Y/N—the woman he had betrayed. He had thought he could win her back, that his apologies would somehow fix what he had broken. But Y/N wasn't the same woman anymore. She was stronger, smarter, and far more powerful than he had ever imagined.

Jungkook finally understood that his betrayal had cost him everything. He had not only lost Y/N, but he had also lost himself. He had gambled with her heart, and now, he was paying the ultimate price.

The Rise of Y/N

As Jungkook faded into obscurity, Y/N's star only continued to rise. She was everywhere—magazines, interviews, award ceremonies. The fashion world hailed her as a visionary, a leader who had taken the industry by storm.

She had built an empire that no one could challenge. Her name was synonymous with success, and her reputation as a bold and fierce businesswoman spread like wildfire. No one could stand in her way.

Y/N had become what she had always deserved to be: powerful, independent, and untouchable. Jungkook's betrayal had once broken her, but now, it was nothing more than a stepping stone in her journey to becoming number one.

She had taken her revenge—not just on Jungkook, but on every doubt and fear that had once held her back.

Final Words

In the end, Jungkook's betrayal had led to his downfall, while Y/N's strength and determination had made her unstoppable. She had risen above the heartbreak, turning the pain he had caused into fuel for her success. Now, she was number one, and no one could defeat her.

Her revenge was complete, and Jungkook had been left with nothing but the memory of the woman he had once taken for granted.
