Jungkook felt someone gazing at him as he twitched his head around and discerned you looking at him. Your eyes were sheeny as he could see your ruddy eyes.

You immediately looked down at your feet before inhaling and again looking up in his direction trying your best to hinder your pain.

You ambled towards Jungkook, to the dining area as he raised his feet, standing on the wooden floor as the dining chair skipped back by its own.

You were gazing in his orbs, your eyes wanted to tell him that you hated him but he knew, your heart still didn't want to believe what he did to your love, but he gave him what he deserved.

Enchanted by his eyes, you walked up to him, not watching your steps as you didn't acknowledge a step connecting the dining area and the lounge.

Your right foot bumped on the step as you stumbled forward as your hands rose up in the air as trying to get a support, a small shout left your mouth as Jungkook scurried to your frame before engulfing your waist in his sturdy arms with his slender fingers clutching your flank while his other hand supported your back.

Your face bumped in his chest as you clenched onto his black coat's shoulder forming creases.

Your eyes widened while mouth open, lips parted away. You stayed in that position for a few seconds before getting back on your feet as you retreated your body back, letting go of his coat.

You heard him saying, "Are you okay?" He raised his steps to come closer to you as you backed away, resulting in you to once again stumble on the step as half of your feet were in the air.

You were about to plunge backwards but Jungkook pulled up to himself, pulling your hand with his right one.

The pull wasn't that strong as you stood a few inches away from him while gazing in his eyes.

You breathed heavily as he asked, "Y/N, are you okay?" You blinked your eyes, your gaze went to his hand holding yours as you pulled your hand back to yourself.

Jungkook asked again, "Are you okay?"

You threw daggers at him, "Why do you care?" You gazed back in his orbs. His eyes turned dark just in a second, "Because I want to." He replied being angry at your stubbornness.

You kept quiet as he looked anywhere away from your eyes, slipping his hands in the pocket of his pants and sucking in his teeth and letting out a breath.

Looking back at you, he said, "Have breakfast." He stepped back, turning to take his seat as you took a few seconds before ambled to the long way.

Taking a seat opposite to him as he was seated at the other end of the dining table and you made yourself comfortable on the other end.
He gazed at your steps as he closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Just then Mrs. Lucy sauntered out of the kitchen with maids following her as they placed the breakfast on the dining table.
You get a load of your cherry dress covering your thighs.

Mrs. Lucy served your food in the bowl in front of you while taking a glance at the dishes and they were all your favorites.

"Enjoy your food, Ms. Lee." You heard Mrs. Lucy and on the other side, Jungkook's plate was also ready with the dishes.

He got a hold on his knife and fork as he noticed your gestures. You stretched your hand to hold the spoon as you dipped it in your dish before taking a small bite.

Jungkook also took a bite from his plate after you.

Without any doubt, the dishes were really delectable as you took a glance up in front of you who directed his orbs on his laptop in a jiff as he discerned you taking a glance at him.

You blinked your eyes a couple of times as you gazed at him while he looked at his laptop, enacting like he was busy with something.

Shrugging it off you looked down at your bowl when you choked on your bite as you coughed, the spoon in your hand fell inside the bowl. Covering your mouth with your palms.

Jungkook's attention diverted to you as he hurriedly stood up, scurrying towards you as you held the glass of water which was deposited beside your bowl.

Gulping down the water, you coughed once before calming yourself down as Jungkook halted midway.

You looked at his standing figure as he gazed at you. You wiped off the water droplets which gushed down your lips with your palm as you stood up placing the glass on the dining table and was about to make your way upstairs when you heard the footsteps approaching you after the door of the manor opened.

You saw Namjoon sauntering in the lounge as the servants walked inside with the mannequins donned in the white wedding gowns.

You gazed at the mannequins as the servants came inside with them one by one.
Jungkook walked and stood beside you as you looked at him as he said, "Choose one for the wedding."

You remember your father's sayings as you gazed back at the dresses displayed in front of you both, "I hate you." You murmured as your eyes brimmed with tears.

Jungkook heard each and every word which left your mouth as you made your way upstairs, towards your room.

Jungkook gazed at your frame as he sauntered in the lounge and said, "Take them to her room." Jungkook referred to the dresses while the servants nodded as Namjoon stood in front of Jungkook.

As the servants stepped out of the lounge Namjoon looked up at Jungkook, "Ms. Lee doesn't want this marriage." Jungkook said, "But she doesn't have any choice." Pocketing his hands in his pants.

"I know you don't want this marriage but trust me you won't regret marrying me. You will be safe here. I am.... Sorry to force you into this, I know you can't disobey Mr. Lee's last words." Jungkook's inner conscience said.

The last mannequin was placed in your room as you gazed at the elegant dresses, some were embedded with pearls and diamonds while some were made with sheeny fabric yet graceful and refined.

The veils were translucent hanging loosely, hindering the floor with its material as it covered a goodly area of the floor.

"Neil, I miss you." You whispered to yourself while gazing at the wedding gowns in front of you.
Reminiscing the scenes you spent with Neil were making your heart fragile as it was drowning in the pool of agony.

You blankly stared at the gowns as a teardrop escaped your brimmed orbs while you bit your power lip before your sobs got unruly as you burst down in tears. Weeping, you fell on your knees as your hand stretched out to hinder your visage and your shedding tears.

Watching the moisture in your palms as your sobs calmed down by themselves. You were tired of crying and weeping from all that your life was showing you.

Slithering your palms over your frock to wipe off the salty water and one last time wiping off the tears from your face.

You raise your feet, balancing your palm on the floor. Stumbling once you walked to the bathroom.

The time elapsed, as the afternoon came by while you were sitting on the corner of the mattress as you were blankly staring at the wooden door of your room.

All the reminisces were just running in your head on repeat, your mind won't let anything skip and the sound of the gunshot was echoing in your ear drums.

You suddenly flinched with a sudden blink when the noise of knocking approached your ear. Raising the goosebumps all over your body as your heartbeat swiftly moved inside your ribcage, wanted to know who it was. Were they calling you down for the wedding or was it Jungkook?

You raise your feet as you approach the door before freaking it open. You discerned Mrs. Lucy, holding a tray with your lunch.

She had a mild smile on her face but it soon disappeared after scrutinizing your visage which was expressionless yet it had dejection and sorrowful orbs gazing at her.

She stated, "Ms. Lee, please have your lunch." You said, "I don't have an appetite." You were about to close the door when she stopped your movements, "Please, Ms. Lee, have something. You already don't have good health and if Mr. Jeon came to know he would get angry."

You looked at her doe eyes which were hoping for you to give in and have your lunch and you did so as you opened the door wide. She smiled before ambling towards the coffee table and depositing the tray there.

Mrs. Lucy was about to make her way out of the room when her eyes gazed at the wedding gown being displayed in your room.

Mrs. Lucy looked at you and smiled before asking, "Ms. Lee, Did you choose one for yourself?" You took a glance at the gowns and then at Mrs. Lucy, "No." You answered while looking away.

You heard her say, "I know it is none of my business but Mr. Jeon is really a nice guy." You gazed at her as you threw a question in her direction, "Do you know what he did?"

Mrs. Lucy calmly gazed at your visage as she shook her head, "No. But I know whatever he does, there is a reason behind it. You just have to seek the reason. He wouldn't do anything wrong. I know."

Saying this she made her way out of the room leaving you all alone, "He is wrong. He killed my beloved one." Your inner conscience said as you gazed at the dresses.

"I have to marry him because of my father's promise. I won't ever give you my husband's place and let alone that I will give you a place in my heart. It was always secured by one and only person, Neil. I hate you from the core of my heart and always will."

Thinking about these thoughts your eyes teared up as you looked at the food which was warm as the vapors were evaporating in the air and the essence were reaching your nostrils. You ambled towards the couch before gulping down the porridge.

The evening was about to approach as downstairs Jungkook was instructing all the three members about the security of the manor, "Tighten the security around the mansion, don't allow Y/n to leave the manor without my permission." Namjoon nodded along with Taehyung and Jimin.

Taehyung and Jimin made their way outside the mansion while Namjoon took a glance at Jungkook as Jungkook called out for Mrs. Lucy. She sauntered towards Jungkook as he instructed her, "Help Y/n to get ready, Lawyer will be here anytime."

Mrs. Lucy nodded as she walked upstairs while Namjoon gazed at her frame before looking back at Jungkook as he stared back in his orbs. They both were talking with their eyes as if they were communicating with each other but Namjoon couldn't ask or say anything.
