ptj universe king

Kai walked through the hallways with purpose, his mind already piecing together the next step in his plan. Vin Jin was the next target for his Heavenly Dragon Gang, and Kai knew exactly how to get him riled up.

(Vin Jin… he's probably off bullying Duke Pyeon again. Typical.)

He smirked to himself before heading straight for the music department. Unlike the rumors, Kai knew the truth—Vin wasn't just some loudmouth punk; this place meant something to him.

Pushing the door open, Kai found Vin Jin seated at the piano, fingers moving smoothly over the keys. When Vin noticed him, he clicked his tongue and leaned back, adjusting his sunglasses.

Vin Jin: "The hell do you want? You lost or something?"

Kai casually leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed.

Kai: "Nah. Just wanted to see if you're as good with your fists as you are with music."

Vin scoffed, standing up with that familiar cocky grin. "Do you know me?"

Kai remained silent for a second, thinking to himself. (Yeah, I know you, Vin Jin. I've read everything—every PTJ series, every detail. I know what makes you tick… and what makes you snap.)

Before Kai could answer, Vin laughed to himself. "You probably know me from middle school, huh? Back when I was invincible."

Kai smirked. "Yeah, something like that."

Then, he dropped the real bait.

Kai: "I know about your sister, Vin."

The air in the room shifted instantly.

The cocky grin vanished from Vin's face. His body stiffened.

Vin Jin: "…What did you just say?"

Kai took a slow step forward, locking eyes with him.

Kai: "I know who killed her."

Silence. Vin's breathing became uneven, his hands shaking at his sides. The sunglasses barely hid the rage brewing underneath.

Vin Jin: "You better not be messing with me."

Kai stayed calm. "I know exactly where he is."

That was it. Vin lunged, grabbing Kai by the collar, his grip crushing. His usual arrogance was gone—now, there was only pure rage.

Vin Jin: "TELL ME. NOW."

Kai smirked, completely unfazed. "You want the truth? Fight me. You win, I tell you where he is. You lose… you join my gang."

Vin shoved him back, his sunglasses sliding down slightly, revealing eyes filled with fury. "You're insane."

Kai rolled his shoulders, cracking his neck. "Maybe. But you're about to fight me anyway, aren't you?"

Vin clenched his fists. His entire body trembled with anger. "Damn right I am."

The fight was set.
