"He is both hell fire and holy water and the taste you get, depends on who you are."

[Y/N POV]

Hanging off the call with my partners in crime, which obviously gave me a whole lot of confusions, I swayed them away and lightly tapped on my cheeks, speaking to myself.

"Y/N you need to focus."

With this I went towards my car and drove towards the hospital where my saviour is. I had a lot of thoughts on what to say, what to do, how to apologise when I meet her but when I arrived at the destination, everything went blank for me. The scenes of the day Arina took the bullet for me got played again in my mind. I closed my eyes for some minutes to calm myself and peeled them open feeling a little relaxed, ready to face the situation.

I got out of my car and parked it without forgetting to request dear bodyguards to stay where they are - not to follow me. I know after the incident which happened lately, Jungkook would never allow me to be alone even for a second, but now I need some time. The guards peeked towards each other perplexed about the situation and as expected they denied my request. I chuckled to myself.

Min Y/N knows how to make things go her way.

Finally, the bargain ended with me assuring them that I'll be safe and they can wait in the lobby. One of the guards informed the receptionist about my visit and she lead her the way towards the patient's room, after doing some necessary paperwork.

"Thankyou for this. You can wait for me there, I'll be back in sometime." I said giving an assuring smile towards the loyal men.

"Yes ma'am, please inform us if you need anything." He bowed towards me which definitely made me feel someone so important, never in my life I had these many people to protect me.

It's nice to be someone important I guess. Maybe there'll be someone to protect me. I chuckled and brushed off my childish thoughts.

I'm the only one who protect myself.

I swiftly turned my heels and took in a deep breath before knocking the door twice. With a "Come in!" as an answer coming in my way I pulled open the door, only to see the young lady reading a book in hospital wear still looking absolutely gorgeous and wearing a shoulder spica to support her injured shoulder.

"Unnie!" The younger squealed happily seeing me there. She tried to move out of her bed but it was unable to due to her aching shoulder.

My eyes softened at the sight and I couldn't help but instantly run towards her and hug her, making sure to not put on much pressure on her body, even though I wanted to hug her as tightly as I could.

"Arina" I whispered her name softly, chocking on my own words.

Naturally in a situation like this my eyes were filled with moisture and I sniffled my nose. It is real tough to hold back my tears now, this girl, what she did for me, it has put on a huge burden of guilt on my heart.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive me." I sincerely apologised sobbing, guilty for the incident. Afterall, Arina got shot her because of me, had I not been there at the company, this innocent wouldn't have been in this state. She put her right uninjured hand on my neck and hugged me back. It was comforting and warm, I think this is what I needed the most right now.

"It wasn't your fault Miss Min." She said softly patting my back crying herself.

Miss Min?! Don't tell me she..

"Y-you know me?!" I pulled out from the hug surprised at her statement.

"Yes I do. " The younger said calmly giving me a small smile.

"Since when?" I asked surprised.

"From the very beggining." Arina said wiping off the tears from my face.

"How?"

"I wanted to thankyou for everything you've done. Thankyou for saving my sister." She said confusing me even more than I already was. I crouched my brows perplexed.

"Elijah Kim is my sister." The gorgeous girl said making my eyes widen in surprise. I was too carried away by the revelation, no words came out of my mouth.

"I came in the other day at your office to thank you for what you did, unfortunately you weren't there. I saw your pictures on the mainboards there, as if you're an ambassador so I knew you were at YJN for the case. I'm well aware of that. So, I payed you back this way." She explained happily as if it's some fairy story she's telling her friend making me shocked than ever.

"You didn't... Had.. to.. do that." I replied after a long awkward silence, as in to engulf what I just heard and took long pauses in between, trying my best not to cry again.

Gosh! Why don't these tears just stop?! It's really embarrassing to cry like a baby.

"It was my choice Miss Min. I don't regret it. Please don't be guilty about that." She replied pulling me out of my thoughts, smudging off the remaining tears from the corner of my eye by her thumb, an assuring smile plastered on her beautiful face.

"It must hurt a lot right?" I asked looking at the cast on her left hand.

"It did at first but not now. Unnie! You don't have to worry about me. I might look lean but I'm very strong you know. I'll punch that bitch Sua on the face if I meet her again. She dares to hurt you!" She said showing her fist in annoyance making me chuckle at her cuteness.

Have I always had these many caring people?

"Well I'm going to get discharged today so you can rest assured I'm not that weak you know." She laughed.

"Yeah I know you're strong." I said agreeing on her statement, laughing along with her. She really does feel like a younger sibling.

"How's Elijah?" I asked to have a change of topic, only to be caught up in another trap.

"She's happy now, attending school without any fear, thanks to you. By the way, I'm just curious, how much power you must be holding to make that brat Ji Ahn drop out from school." Arina asked wondering.

What? I just punished him and his minions a little, I didn't do anything else. I got befuddled by the whole situation, did I miss something here?

" I heard he was kicked out of school and he's practically banned from entering any sorts of universities. That's close to impossible specially for someone like him, you know." She explained making me ponder the past events.

I am in the position to make your dear parents go bankrupt.

Your family didn't send you to a prestigious school to make their name go in vain Jeon JiAhn. Don't worry I'll free you. I'll make sure you get kicked out of school and not get admission in a single University all over South Korea. YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WILL BE LIVING IN A HELL!

That's when it clicked me... Jeon Jungkook.

Did he do all this? Initially I thought he was just bluffing. I'm not sure if it's really his doing, he isn't the type to take revenge. But if not him then who?

"Unnie..?" Arina asked shaking me up a little pulling me back to earth.

"Huh? Oh! Why is it close to impossible? Is he from that much powerful background? Like, I can see your family seems to be extremely powerful too." I asked her in an attempt to clear my doubts.

"You don't know?!" She asked in aghast.

"Er.. What I not know?" I asked, the bar of my curiosity reaching it's max level now.

"He's the grandson of the chairman of Kingston Group." She replied stressing on each and every word as in to knock it into brain with whom I've meddled with.

"Kingston Group? You mean the group which is said to have the most vital Electronic systems of the country?" I asked for confirmation.

This is crazy! That insolent punk is literally swirling in a whole closet filled with gold bars! No wonder that fucker thinks he owns the world. I clicked my tongue in annoyance remembering what he did to Elijah.

One of the reasons why I hate rich freaks.

"Yes that one. The forbes listed Top 20 Companies of the world." She gave the details making me goggle eyed.

I'm not afraid of getting on that family's bad side, instead my bar of curiosity just bursted.

Damn.

Jungkook just who are you to make a bastard from such a highly powerful background banned from universities? I thought to myself deeply thinking and still in disbelief if he really did that. I must ask him. Because if he has a hand in any of this, then we are caught in some deep shit.

"I've been wanting to ask you this since a long time. If you don't mind.. um.." She stopped midway asking something from me, making me look in her direction.

Arina is basically today pulling me out of thoughts. This is too much information to handle in a day. Literally.

"You can ask I won't mind. " I replied compelling her.

She took a long pause in between playing with her fingers and not looking at me in the eyes , maybe worried if I get offended by her questionaire.

"What is your relationship with... Jeon Jungkook?" She asked checking me out for an honest answer.

"I know what happened at YJN and I'm pretty sure he was the guy with you the other day, who helped Elijah. Isn't he?" She enquired staring into my soul, when does an angel like Arina look this scary?

"H-how do y-you know?" I stuttered nervously.

"Bright told me about the incident, he's shocked himself after what all the situations are happening. As for the other thing, Elijah is a die-hard Jungkook stan she can tell him out even from his shadow. The day you guys helped her, she's literally screaming in my ears that the guy was Jungkook, which I obviously didn't believe at first. But now, I'm really, really curious." She held my trembling hands as if assuring me to trust her and I stared blankly towards the ground, thinking of some believable excuses to not let this matter go out of my hands.

"I promise whatever the truth is it'll be between us and I'm definitely not meddling with your life. This is all so crazy to happen that my braincells are bursting out of curiosity! Please...
Just.. who is he to you?" She asked again almost begging for an answer.

Looks like I can't escape this questionnaire now. I have give an answer- the truth.

"He's my - "

I was about to speak further when loud knocks were heard on the door. Well, I locked the door before and I think this might help me to have an escape from this fidgety situation.

"Let me get the door!" I exclaimed and jumped towards the door and opened it only to be welcomed by another problem.

Kang Bright

He had a peaceful expression on his greek god level handsome face until he saw me and his brows twisted, making a face as if I'm the last person he wants to be here. I can sense the vexation on his face, he was fuming in anger. I must say, Arina you have a very possessive lover by your side because the next thing he did was something expected from a person who thinks I'm the one because of whom Arina is like this. Well that's true anyways and I think I deserve this treatment.

"How dare you come in after what all you did?" He said whilst harshly pushing me, making my back hit towards the wall and chocked my neck, his eyes red in anger. His held was so tight, I'm sure if he does this for some more minutes I'll pass out.

"BRIGHT! LEAVE-" Arina screamed to make him stop but this man isn't listening to anyone I guess. He pressed even harder on my neck.

"Do you know how much she bleed because of you?" He mocked in a low devilish tone, his hold was so tight that my tears almost made their way towards the corner of eyes and my face turned red.

I didn't fight back because if this is what is needed to pay back for I did, then let me bear the consequences. I'm sorry Arina.

[JUNGKOOK POV]

"Hyung! Why did you give the necklace to Y/N?" I asked surprised by his generosity. He never removes that necklace off his neck, why would he give something so precious to Y/N?

"Why ? I wanted to that's all." Taehyung answered which obviously wasn't satisfactory.

"Hyung, you know right it's the necklace of Taeri! How can you-" I yelled frustrated.

"Yeah I know you don't have to burst my ears. I gave it to her because it's finally time to let go of Taeri. It's been five years Jungkook. I... Don't have the strength to..." He explained getting teary as I know where this is going, I tried to stop but he didn't.

"To mourn over her death anymore. It's time to let go. I'm sorry if that offended you any way, but Min Y/N reminds me of her." He looked everywhere but me, I know he's crying.

I gave him a tight hug to calm him down, we promised each other we won't ever bring her topic again as Taehyung hyung regrets not able to attend her funeral. He still cries for not being able to bid her a final farewell, that's why he always wore the necklace she gave him.

"Hyung. She's very proud of you, wherever she is I know she's happily smiling looking at you."

If giving that necklace to Y/N can end your suffering than you did the best thing ever hyung. I know how much you've cried and bawled your eyes out, it's time for you to be happy.
Please don't be a broken person anymore. I thought to myself looking at him.

After a couple of minutes of emotional session, he finally calmed down and placed his hands on my shoulder.

"Jungkook, she's the best companion out there you'll ever get. Protect her." He said staring into my soul.

"I will." I proclaimed confidentlly.

[Y/N POV]

The bodyguards bursted in alarmed, on hearing the scream of Arina. They instantly tried to pull back Bright but I stopped them by showing my hand. I don't want them to interfere, I know this all is done on an impulse and I might've done the same, no worst, if I saw the culprit who made my loved one suffer.

"Bright ! It's over between us if you don't stop!" Arina threatened making him glare angrily in her direction but he soon stopped with his movements, leaving my neck which is surely has turned red by now. Well, she smoothly pulled off the breakup card and this boy so in love can't afford to even dream about that.

I coughed gaining my breath back and after a couple of minutes dismissed the guards who were balling their fists to punch him on my command. The commotion came to an end after a few minutes and here are we three were in an awkward situation. I glanced towards Arina and I can sense she was annoyed.

"Do you have any idea what the hell were you trying to do?!" She asked her boyfriend angrily.

"Arina! You're in this state because of her! Don't take her back!" He rejolted picking up a fight with her.

"You don't know anything so better keep your mouth sealed or else I'll sue it myself! " She glared monstrously at the male making him scared as hell. Can't beleive this petite girl holds the power to make guy like Bright anxious. Even I'm intimidated by this side of her. Arina is sure scary when angry and I'm in no mood to be a thrid wheel in their couple fight.

"I think I should go now. I'm sorry for everything, Bright and Arina." I bowed towards them and instantly left the room without listening to any of her explanation as I know these two need to sort things out.

The guards followed me from behind making sure to see if I'm alright.

"Don't tell this to him please." I requested to the men, I don't intend to worry Jungkook anymore. It's not like I'm dying or something.

They looked at each other for some minutes as if discussing from their eyes and nodded in reply. Phew! At least they agreed to my request I thought they'll decline as usual.

"Let's go then."

I drove the car back to my brother's place, more like my temporary home for now and got outside. I covered my neck with a scarf to hide the red marks and rang the doorbell only to be welcomed by dear suspicious husband Jungkook. I'm having a load of questions to ask him and I wasn't expecting him to be here. He shouldn't roam around freely in such a situation, I have this sudden urge to punch him now.

"What are you doing here?" I asked getting inside.

"Waiting for you of course. Hyung won't be home for some days due to work so he asked me to stay with you." He explained constantly staring at my scarf, no glaring to be exact.

Does he know somehow?

"Oh.. alright then." I replied plainly not looking in his direction trying my best to avoid this conversation. I'm in no mood to talk anymore, today was really a long day.

I was about to go to my room when he pulled me back pulling off the scarf from my neck. I covered my neck with my hands as a reflex but he firmly held both my wrists not letting me go.

"What are you trying to do?" I asked a bit taken aback by the sudden actions of his.

"Bright did this didn't he?" He enquired speaking in a low monstrous tone, tracing his hands on the red marks on my neck. The warmth of his hands as if working as an ointment there. This tone of his is enough to send shivers down anyone's spine and I'm no exception.

My eyes widened at what he said when I realised he already knew what happened.

"You should have realised by now that the guards work for me. They'll report each and every thing which I order them." He spoke in a low tone, an unreadable expression on his face. I couldn't grasp what was he feeling?

Angry?

Sad?

If this was all not enough, he slowly placed his forehead over mine, his hands never leaving my neck. We were just inches apart from each other and I can feel his minty breath on my lips.

"Min Y/N, please don't get hurt anymore." He pleaded.

Pain. He was feeling painful.

I had so much to ask you Jeon Jungkook but your actions just now succeeded in making my heart race to it's highest speed. Suddenly, the doorbell rang and due to my highly flustered state I didn't even ask who was it and opened the door.

I know Jungkook tried to stop me but yeah, thanks to you... You bunny! I didn't even think twice before opening the door.

Very well Min Y/N.

You should be rewarded for being this dumb! I must dug up a hole now and bury myself.

"Arina..." I whispered unable to speak much.

"And Bright." My eyes travelled towards him and his girlfriend. These two were the last people I was expecting today. And cherry on top, this bunny who's manly hormones just bursted placed his hands securely on my waist when he heard Bright's name. All four of us were staring at each other, more like Jungkook was staring towards Bright. His eyes as if digging a hole into the younger's head.

"Miss Min. I'll help you in this case, I have the vedio of Sua drugging Jungkook's wine and more evidences of dirty business happening inside the company. I'll be a witness." Arina spoke making my mouth flung open from shock.

"Mrs. Min. No, she's Mrs. Jeon." Jungkook spoke smirking making all the heads turn.
Seriously.... you mad bunny?! Are corrections the most important thing to you right now?

"You-" He tightened his grip on my waist not letting me speak further.

The couple looked at us horrified at what he just announced. A took in a deep breath because I have to give another round of explanations now. I'll punch you real hard today Jungkook you-

"She's my wife."

Eh?

EH?!

AHHHH! I screamed my lungs out internally. How can he shamelessly tell them something so important like that? I know we had to reveal it somehow but this was all so sudden!





POTATO'S NOTE:

Well Jungkook had his priorities set, I'm absolutely in love with this possessive attitude of his. Haha XD

Meme time!

Exactly! That's my point. He's literally taller than most of us. You all stop calling him "short".

I'm patiently waiting for 2025 to come soon.
