[A/N POV]

Bidding the couple a goodbye Jungkook closed the door with the darkest shade of red plastered on his porcelain skin. He rested on the door with both of his hands on his back and gulped a lump of saliva down his throat, his Adam's apple throbbing up and down. After some minutes of settling his emotions he went towards the living room looking for his lady.

Y/N was busy attending someone's call whilst rummaging through some papers and the next moment searching for her blazer everywhere.

"Yes Jina I'm getting back right now. Give me half an hour I'm reaching there." She assured the other side trying her best to sound calm and cut call again in search of her office wear.

She bent downwards near the couch wishing that blazer fell somewhere down there, then jumped towards the top of the couch and even checked the drawers of the centre table just in case, unaware of the fact that two chocolate brown orbs are observing her each and every action.

"Where the hell is it?!" She cursed annoyed which Jungkook found cute.

Who'll tell this woman that blazer isn't kept in the centre table drawers? He thought to himself chuckling and took the her dear black blazer from the stand placed at the very corner of the room and went towards her.

"Here take it." He crouched downwards towards the woman being almost 'flat' on the floor in an awkward position near the table, dramatically disheveling her hair out pissed.

She put her head up and glanced at the man whom she almost forgot is present here too in the midst of all the information she just got to know. As a reflex, a little scream left her mouth making him fall on his hips backwards, surprised.

"You scared me!" She shouted snatching her blazer from his hands not caring about him, who just fell.

"Yah! At least thank me for finding your dear blazer." Jungkook pouted.

"I would've found it myself." She got up from the floor and snapped back at him, still in the same position.

"Yeah you would've found it below the couch, in the table drawers right?"He teased her, now standing up on his feet, towering her figure, his eyes as if radiating their irresistible charm and his lips curving into a smirk ironical of the innocence that his eyes hold.

"Leave it I have a load of work to do, I've no time to argue with you." She straight away ignored his tease making his smirk drop and she took her phone, hurriedly in an attempt to move out but this man won't let her leave this easily will he?

"Did you eat something?" He asked pinning her to the wall.

"There's no time to eat now I've to put an all-nighter today, I think I'll get super busy this week. So, don't distract me-" She explained in a timorous voice because of the close proximity both of them were in, their lips inches apart from each other.

"You think I'll let you go without eating?" He rasped getting a little more closer to her, his lips now near her forehead.

"I'll eat something on my way there, happy?" She rolled her eyes getting annoyed as she's lacking time but still she's unable to ignore his orders.

"Hm better. I'll call you to remind you of eating the meds, I know you'll forget." He gave a small satisfactory smile to her still being in the same position but she can make out the uneasiness and nervousness in his voice and actions.

"Can I go now?" She asked looking away from him due to the uncomfortable position.

He nodded in agreement and she was about to go when he pulled her back by holding her wrist and held her into a tight hug, burying his head in the crook of her neck. She knew he is nervous, his hands were shaking and so she wrapped her hands around him, softly caressing his hair.

"Oh, so Mr. Jeon has finally turned to usual self Mr. Bunny?" She joked which succeeded in making him chuckle, she could feel him smiling while his head is still buried in her neck.

"I'm not a bunny!" He pulled out pouting cutely.

"Yes yes. You ain't." She smiled being at awe at this cuteness he's literally a human-bunny.

"Always remember one thing- Circumstances which couldn't kill you, make you stronger." She motivated him gazing deeply into his eyes, her arms still wrapped around his shoulders. He didn't knew if it was her words or her actions that made him feel at ease but he was clear of thing- this woman is all he needs to fight through any situation, she'll support him always. He smiled ear to ear listening to her motivating words, she could speak all day and he would listen, that was the effect she made on him.

"Y/N be safe." He requested.

"I will be." She proclaimed confidently.

"Eat your meds." He ordered for the second time making a smirk appear on her face, well he's not the only one who can tease right?

Teasing is, was and will always be Min Y/N's forte.

She clutched the back of his head pulling him closer to herself, their noses brushing off with each other and she could hear his heart rushing to its highest speed.

"Yes daddy." She bonked her head with his and left the blushing bunny as stunned as ever by her boldness.

"If I get high blood pressure, this woman must take responsibility for it!" He spoke dramatically putting his hand on his chest.

----

Hastily driving her car she rushed towards her workplace only to be welcomed by a swarm of reporters impeding the main entrance making it almost impossible for any person to enter without facing them. Security was tight but still the reporters outnumbered the guards, the whole place was filled with bright flashes and cameras.

"Ah.. I didn't wanted media attention on me, can't help, getting involved with a celebrity sure is tough." She whined rolling her eyes seeing the commotion, putting on her black sunglasses and parked her car in the underground parking of the office without getting noticed, soon to be welcomed by her assistant and Jaehoon.

He was panting, evident that man must have ran to reach out to his senior. Jina opened the car door for her.

"I told you to handle the reporters. What's all the fuss outside?" Y/N enquired Jaehoon.

"Miss the news has spread like wildfire, it's practically impossible for us to remain anonymous. We must give them a statement, afterall you're Mr. Jeon's official lawyer." He explained firmly.

She nodded and walked towards the main entrance, her juniors following her along with her boss, Mr. Jung. Her high heels producing the clicking sounds, the whole hallway turned silent for some seconds waiting for the main guest that is her. All the mics were turned towards her and the flashes of camera were capturing each and every part of the important statement.

"Miss Min being the ace in criminal law why are you taking on the case of superstar Jeon Jungkook? Please explain?" A reporter asked amongst the crowd.

"Does this case really involve criminals as Miss Arina's conviction from the video posted online?" Another person questioned.

"Is Jungkook really innocent or is this an act of gaining attention for all the loss-" Y/N twitched her brows at this absurd question and removed her sunglasses whilst clenching her jaw.

"Everyone please listen. It is true I am the lawyer assigned for Mr. Jeon's case it was me the other day at HYBE office. Also, it is for the court to assess the veracity of the evidences let's wait for the verdict. Till then, it's a humble request to everyone to not spread any sort of fake news, else legal actions would be taken." She bowed towards the people and turned to walk inside, the reporters still surrounding her asking a number of questions.

"Jaehoon help her get inside I'll handle the rest." Mr. Jung ordered the man and he nodded in agreement, he helped Y/N get inside the office.

Unintentionally, his hand landed on her waist as in to keep her close and he covered her eyes with his other hand as he knew the flashes of the cameras were irritating her, unknown of the fact that the woman hates his mere existence, let alone his touch. She was despised to the core, rage building up inside her.

As soon as they got inside, Min Y/N's last nerve just bursted and she harshly slapped away his hands, confusing Jaehoon.

"Song Jaehoon..." She whispered his name , intimidating the man making him move backwards until his back hit the wall.

"Do you know what's the speciality of pointed heels?" She asked pinning him towards the wall, deeply staring into his eyes.

"These sharp points if applied by force, can peirce into one's foot making it severely injured. I've done this to many perverts out there." She stepped lightly of one his toes making the man anxious of this lady. Surely, he wasn't being a pervert but this lady just got so much agitated to think straight, maybe being paranoid.

Surprising enough the infamous Poison who doesn't budge to shoot the person who dares meet his eyes is intimidated by a woman, that's the power and effect she's holding.

"I - "

"Dare to touch me again and you'll not only land up getting a foot injury but also lifetime goodbye to your teeny-weeny. I'm capable of doing that." She darkly chuckled, her eyes still boring into his, the voice of hers as if hot magma flowing inside her.

I hate this Poison bastard so much! She screamed in her mind.

"I'm sorry I didn't had any other intentions, I just wanted to help you out."

Does this woman know who she's threatening? I can kill her right here but I can't, you're very important Y/N. I... Need you. He thought, both in the close proximity creating an unusual effect on the man, certainly he was flustered.

"Oh really? I'm capable of helping myself, so you better stay in your limits." She retorted arching her perfectly plucked brow.

Just as he about to speak anything further her phone buzzed and she excused herself, leaving the flustered man in a daze.

[Y/N POV]

I checked the message from Arina and it was a video. Without wasting any more time I plugged in the device with my pc to see the content of the video. Jaehoon too joined shortly after composing himself, things did get a little too far away with us but I'm a little impressed that he at least knows his work well. He returned back as if nothing happened. We played the video.

If all the evidences, the news articles, the scandals, the crimes, I'm hearing lately weren't enough to scare me this one video shattered my soul.

"Sua! You did a good job deceiving him." Mr. Lee, the chairman of YJN entertainment spoke with a smirk, pouring the wine in his glass.

"That was a piece of cake, now I'll be the next superstar. Cheers!" She clunk her with him drinking the substance.

"Uh-uh.. Not yet. Considering his popularity and the love he's getting from the audience, a mere drug scandal won't take him down. For you to become the next global sensation... Jeon Jungkook must die." He spoke creepily making the woman choke on his drink.

"W-what?!" She coughed aggressively unable to grasp what she just heard.

"Don't worry, it'll appear like a suicide." A vicious smile spread across his wrinkled face.

So it was all planned?

"What the hell is this?!" Jaehoon spoke taken aback by what he just heard.

I closed my eyes to calm myself which really didn't help much, this man..
This shameless creature right here is the very person behind all this, he's involved in this planning I know very well and still he has the guts to speak such hypocritical statements in front of me.

"Miss what do we-"

Unable to listen a single word anymore I switched off the PC, a mix of anxiety and rage build up inside me, as a result I angrily took the glass vase in my hand and threw it towards the wall, it shattered into little pieces, how much I wish to smash these unscrupulous people's faces too. I really can't keep calm now, enough! I threw whatever came to hands like a lunatic, the pens, the papers everything on the desk.

"Miss stop it! You're bleeding!" Jaehoon said tightly holding my hands, blood was oozing out from my right hand as it got scratched by some sharp object.

Again this facade of fake care. It's sickening now.

"GET OUT RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" I screamed on top of my lungs, harshly jerking away his hands. His eyes widened for a mini-second but soon he returned to normal and walked away.

"I'll be back in half an hour, please calm down till then." He spoke leaving me alone.

That's when my eyes unknowingly made their way towards the calendar. I saw the date and it succeeded in giving me cold chills, a hit of adrenaline rushing in my veins, my face almost turned pale.

It's the same date....

The same day...

When Jeon Jungkook took his last breath in my previous life.

"Ah... This is fucking crazy!" I banged my fist on the wall, tiny droplets of tears making their way in my eyes. I'm overwhelmed by emotions- anger, frustration and above all fear.

Fear of losing him.

Jungkook didn't commit suicide, it was a planned murder.

With shaking hands I dialed his number breathing heavily thinking, will all that happen again? What.. what'll I do then?!

"Hello? Y/N?" He spoke picking up the call.

"Wh-where are y-you?" I whispered, my voice cracked, as much as I didn't wanted to be carried away by emotions, this situation wasn't helping at all.

"Did something happen? Why're you sounding so nervous?" He asked concerned.

"Answer me!" I yelled impatiently.

"At home with hyungs. Y/N what's wrong?" He replied.

A singleton tear made it's way on my cheeks, soon followed by more tears. With no reply coming to his side he asked again.

"Y/N you listening?"

"Yes I am. I-" I sobbed and choked on my voice making it so obvious that I'm crying.

"Are you perhaps... crying? Why?! I'm coming there -" He sensed the tension and I know he'll come here which will create a huge mess.

"No! Listen to me. Just stay wherever you are, don't come out even with manager. Just stay inside please. I'll explain everything later." I replied abruptly stopping him from taking any actions.

Just be safe, please be alive.

I didn't let him speak further cutting the call and crouched down on my knees, breaking down. Everything that has happened before is again coming in front of eyes like a movie. I'm so... So scared.

[JUNGKOOK POV]

I was about to speak something when she cut the call, leaving me on a standstill. At that instant, I wanted to tightly hug her and tell her that's no matter what I'm going to be there with her. I can't imagine a single tear shedding from her eyes.

Just what the hell happened there that she cried? Did somebody tried to hurt her? Don't tell me that creep Jaehoon did something. I balled my fists ready to break the jaw of the person who tried to hurt her. I must go there, no matter how much she stops me. How can I leave her in a situation?

I took my car keys ready to meet her without wasting any more time. I opened the door only to meet another problem. Sua.The face that I despise the most, she was standing in front of me staring into my eyes.

"Jungkook, can we talk?" She spoke in her honey tone voice. Oh! There was a time I used to love this voice but now it makes to sick to the point I might puke. Just how much fake a person can be?

"I never knew lowlife dogs were allowed to enter my mansion. I must deduce the salary of the guards out there." I spoke balling my fists.

"They know who I am and what importance I hold that's why I'm standing here." She spoke confidently. I wonder where this confidence comes from, she's such a vicious person. Afterall all this fuss, she still has the audacity to show up in front of me?

"Jungkook don't-" Jimin uttered in between.

"Let him." Namjoon spoke stopping him.

Rolling my eyes and scoffing at her statement, I tightly held her wrist and took her to the lawn. This is where it all started, my feelings and her two faced actions. And this is where it'll end, once and for all.

"Jungkook I know you're angry with me but listen to my side too. I was forced to do all this, I really didn't wanted to do this." She explained with such an innocent face, anyone who doesn't know her intentions would surely fall for this trap.

Hah. Again lies. Just how much blatant can she be? I'm ashamed of myself for once having feelings for such a woman.

Now I recall what my father once taught me.... 'Never get into the honey trap of the three W's if you want to be successful- Wine, Women and Wealth'. Certainly, I was trapped. But I'm glad there was someone who protected me from this. Again, I owe her a lot and I will take revenge what she had gone through lately because of Sua.

"Really? You think I'll take that crap?Sua don't you have an ounce of dignity left inside you? Or do you enjoy playing with people's feelings?" I roared annoyed.

"I love you Jeon Jungkook and I know you too somewhere still do have feelings for me. Let's forget all this and start a new life, let's.. let's get married." She spoke filling the gap between us, now she is just inches apart from me.

What a narcissist woman.

I'm pretty sure, if this had been said a few months ago I would've agreed and been the happiest man on Earth but no. I cheerfully held the rose, forgetting the rose has thorns piercing through my skin creating deep wounds.

"Stay away from me if you want to decently live the rest days of your life. " With a final warning from my side I pushed her away when this woman just gave up her last braincells.

She pulled me by my collar and I knew where this is going. I despise this woman's touch.

I instantly pushed her back and chocked her neck, I'm so done with this drama of hers. How dare she try to kiss me?

"Feelings?! For you? They're not left anymore. What do you think huh? I don't know what you did to Arina? Now that your facade has been removed you're here to save your ass?Most importantly, your enmity is with me, how dare you lay a hand on my lawyer Y/N?!" I yelled losing my temper, my hands creating thumbprints on her windpipe.

"W-why d-do you c-care for the l-lawyer?" Her face flushed with red, a few tears coming out from the corner of her eyes.

"I can't tolerate anyone stressing out my woman."

"W-what?" A horrified expression made it's way on her pale face.

"I'll call you what you deserve to be called- a Bitch." Never knew I can ever be this disrespectful to someone, specially her. Younger me couldn't even raise his voice at this girl. Surely, I was a puppet in her hands.

"Get. The. Fuck. Out." I yelled raged intimidating her and she sprinted away sobbing. I'm really enjoying this look on her face. She deserves this treatment.

"Guards, don't ever let her in. " I commanded these men.

[A/N POV]

(Central Prison- Seoul)

A boy probably in his early twenties was tied to the chair. His hair disheveled, his clothes covered in blood, his jaw broken, he was in a half dead state. In front of him sat the king of underworld, the devil. As usual his face was covered with the mask.

He eyed his men to pour a gallon of hot water on the half-dead boy. He moaned due to the sudden sensation of the hot liquid, his eyes slightly opened. Anybody could tell he was not going to make it alive, he's a guest just for a few hours more.

"Did you enjoy the treatment... Lee Eun Suk?" The man asked him.

*Note: refer chapter 5 to know who's Lee Eun Suk.*

"K-kill m-me al-already." He begged the devil unable to take the pain anymore.

That's what he enjoyed, slowly, little by little, killing his prey, by torturing them to the point they beg for their death, even their soul gets shivered by his name. A smirk made it's way on the man's face. He laughed like a maniac.

"Do you know why you're being treated like this?" The man asked walking near the boy untying his hands.

"I d-don't k-k-know." He stuttered, his whole body shivered.

"Oh you don't? My bad. Because your dad deceived me by not paying the full amount he carried our deal with and he thought I'm the type to wait." The man spoke in low dark tone, his voice deeper than the ocean.

"But you know why you're getting punished rather than your asshole father?" He tightly clenched the boy's hair earning a scream from him being music to his ears.

"Ahh p-please I- I -"

"You made my woman work so hard on your case, sadly that foolish lawyer didn't knew you'll get killed either way. You're living such a comfortable life in here right? Even after being sentenced to life prison? Let me free you now." He darkly chuckled.

"I can't tolerate anyone stressing out my woman."

With this his men poured gasoline on the half dead boy. As his hands were free, he used all his strength to get up , but his legs gave up. Somehow he succeeded in pulling away the mask from the devils face, the mask falling off on the ground revealing his face.
There was a sudden silence in the room, his men almost peed in their pants as they knew looking at thier boss's face is a forbidden felony, now it's time for their funeral too.

His face, so familiar, so structured, the features contrasting to the fact that he's a mafia. The boy turned blank by looking at him as if he has seen a ghost.

"Y-you a-are-" Eun Suk uttered horrified looking at his face.

"JK. Remember that." He winked, lightening the lighter in his hands and threw it towards the boy. Fire ignited throughout his body, the whole room echoed with his horrendous screams.

Soon the monster walked towards his men, like a normal person, not bothered that a person is dying right behind him. He surely was a psycho. The men so scared of him, moved backwards unable to look at him.

"You all know what the rules say right?" He mocked staring at the men.

"Yes boss! It's an honour for us to have a look at your face." They spoke in unison, their soul shivered just by looking at the face of their boss.

He smirked and walked away putting up his mask, his men pulling the trigger and shooting themselves on their heads. This was the unspoken rule of Black Bullet. You see the devil's face, you see the last day on Earth in the most dreadful manner- getting killed by the satan himself. Due to this, these men killed themselves having an easy death.

"Lucky bastards." JK scoffed walking like any normal day in his life.
