Somi came home, Yeji saw her and asked. “Where are you coming from? Did you go to meet Soobin again?” Yeji said it to mock her.

“Why are you making fun of me? Why do you feel like I am not worthy of love?” Somi asked.

Yeji's voice rose. "You're delusional, Somi. You lie so much.”

Somi's eyes flashed. "I'm telling the truth. Soobin and I are together."

Yeji sneered. "No one believes you."

Somi's jaw clenched. "I'll prove it. I'll make you talk to Soobin."

Somi pulled out her phone. She dialed a number.

Somi stared at her phone, her brow furrowed. Soobin hadn't replied to her texts. He always replies to her no matter what time it is, but it is because Somi texts him rarely.

He even skipped class. Maybe he's busy. He always responded. Now, nothing. She tried calling. Somi's unease deepened.

Why wasn't he replying?

Waited.

"Soobin Isn't picking up," Somi muttered.

Yeji's face darkened. "How did you get his number?"

Somi's gaze met Yeji's. "He himself did.”

Yeji's eyes narrowed, Soobin didn't even give Yeji his number they talked on Instagram. "You must have stolen it from school, or it's just a fake number. It's not his number.”

Somi's smile was icy. "You know why Soobin gave me his number? Because he is serious about me.”

Yeji chuckled. “Stop with this now you are just too much.”

Yeji unlocked his phone and showed a picture that she took with Soobin. “You see it? He was with me at the party. I have the texts too. What proof do you have?”

Somi stared at Yeji and then the picture. Tears filled her eyes, she really doesn't have any proof.

“Woah, you always do this. You cry whenever you don't know how to handle the situation in a mature way.” Yeji rolled her eyes and then left. Somi sat on the couch and started crying.

Y/n and Taehyung stood in the subway station.

Today Taehyung was feeling irritated by the noise and the crowd. He was not in the mood. It does get annoying when you use it more.

Taehyung turned to Y/n, his eyes sparkling. "Where do you want to go?" he asked.

Y/n's gaze met his. "Your house."

Taehyung's eyebrows shot up. "My house? Why?"

Y/n's smile was enigmatic. "I just want to know you."

He studied Y/n's face. What if he brings her to his house? How will she react?

Taehyung nodded. "Let's go."

Y/n's smile deepened. Together, they walked towards the train. “Which station?” Y/n asked.

“Just a minute I will be back.” Taehyung made an excuse and came to the side. Taehyung pulled out his phone and typed swiftly.

-Rent an apartment in a middle-class area. Now. You have 10 minutes.
He sent the message to his assistant

Assistant
-10 minutes? Sir, how will I find an apartment in Seoul within 10 minutes?

-I don't know, I need a middle class or cheap apartment within Seoul for a day

Assistant
-Sir, here's the address: xxxxxx

Taehyung raised an eyebrow.

-That was quick

Assistant
-Sir I had sent the address of my own house. 😅 You can use it for a day.

-Thanks, I will work.

Taehyung texted back. He pocketed his phone. And went to Y/n.

"Ready?" he asked Y/n.

Y/n nodded.

Soobin was losing his patience in a police cell. He and Yeonjun have been locked here since morning. He suddenly got arrested when they were in college.

"What's going on?" Soobin demanded, his voice echoing off the concrete. "Why are we being held?"

The officer's face remained impassive, he kept asking but they were not replying.

Yeonjun's anxiety spiked. "Can we at least call our lawyer?"

“Lawyer? They don't know who they are dealing with. Have you heard of Jeons?”
Soobin's face reddened with rage. "Do you know who my family is? We have connections! You can't keep us here! You all will lose your jobs.”

But the officer remained unmoved.

As the hours ticked by. No food, no water, no answers. Soobin and Yeonjun both are spoiled; they have never been in such an environment.

Soobin's arrogance crumbled, his eyes sunken with desperation. As the night went back,

Soobin's thoughts turned dark. "What have we done?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.

Yeonjun's eyes met his, filled with a mixture of fear and regret. “A Lot of things but I am not sure why we are here.”

The next morning, the cell door opened. Their sleepless night had taken its toll, they kept thinking why they were in jail.

As they exited the cell, Jungkook stood waiting, dressed in a sharp suit and glasses.

Soobin's face lit up with relief. "Hyung, thank God you're here! I knew you would come!" Soobin exclaimed, rushing towards Jungkook. "I want all of them to lose their jobs! How dare they put me in jail for more than 24 hours?"

Jungkook's expression remained calm, his eyes hidden behind his glasses.

Soobin's anger boiled over, he pointed at the police officers. "Now you all will see. I'll ruin their lives, every single one of them. They'll regret ever crossing me!"

Jungkook's voice was low and even. "You're welcome, Soobin. But there's someone you should direct your anger towards."

Soobin's gaze faltered. "Who?"

Jungkook's smile was subtle. "Me."

Soobin's eyes widened. "You...?"

Jungkook nodded. "I'm the one who put you in jail."

The room seemed to spin around Soobin. "You?" Soobin repeated, his voice barely audible.

Jungkook's eyes locked onto Soobin's. "Do you still want to ruin their lives, Soobin? Or do you want to ruin mine?"

Soobin's face paled. Yeonjun's eyes darted between Jungkook and Soobin, sensing the tension. “Hyung, please—"

Jungkook's gaze never wavered.

"Soobin, answer me. You want to ruin my happiness right? That why you drugged Y/n?”

Soobin was shocked. "How did you—"

Jungkook's fist clenched. “Why do I have to remind you that I have lived more years than you? You think you can play me? And you too Yeonjun.”

Yeonjun's eyes darted around. “Hyung, sorry."

Jungkook's gaze turned icy. "Soobin involved you, didn't he?"

“Hyung, I don't know what you are sayi-” Soobin stopped as he got punched on his face by Jungkook.

“Shut up, I don't have time for you bullshit.” He said.  "Y/n could've been harmed. Irreparable damage. Again. You think I will let you go?”

Soobin and Yeonjun trembled. "We know. We were stupid—"

Jungkook's voice dropped. "Stupidity has consequences." He leaned in. "You'll learn to respect boundaries."

Soobin and Yeonjun nodded frantically. "Yes, hyung. We understand—"

Jungkook's gaze pierced Soobin. "What was the reason?”

Soobin swallowed. "I hate Y/n... She ruined our relationship and you said things to me that you would never say to me because of her—"

Jungkook's eyes narrowed. "Why drug her drink?” He then held his neck. “Were you planning to assault her again?”

Jungkook was so furious that he felt like he would commit a murder at this point.

"No, no Hyung, I wanted her to look cheap...." Soobin replied.

Jungkook's face darkened. “You chose to be her enemy... That makes you mine."

Yeonjun trembled beside Soobin.  "Jungkook hyung, please—"

Jungkook's warning gaze silenced Yeonjun. "You both crossed a line. Once again"

Soobin's voice shook. "I apologize... I was blinded—"

Jungkook's tone left no room for forgiveness. "Apologies won't fix this." For now, go home.”

Jungkook knew they Yeonjun and Soobin both will not tell anyone that Jungkook put them in jail if they will he will expose them In Front of their family.

The two exchanged uneasy glances. Soobin's face twisted. "Hyung, do you like Y/n?”

Jungkook's expression remained impassive. "Go home, Soobin."

It was clear to Soobin, Jungkook loves Y/n.

As they left the police station, Soobin checked his phone. He saw the notification, he scrolled and stopped on the one that caught his eyes, “3 calls from Somi.”

Is she okay? Asked himself. She doesn't call him without a reason. He tried to call her but this time she wasn't picking up the calls.

Yeonjun's anger simmered. "Soobin, this is all your fault," Yeonjun spat.

Soobin's eyes narrowed. "My fault? You were right there with me."

Yeonjun's voice rose. "Because I listened to you! I always listened to you. You should stop everything now, especially what you are doing with Somi and Yeji. If you didn't stop, I will tell Jungkook hyung everyone.”

Soobin's face darkened. “You are saying you will snitch on me? What's that supposed to mean?"

Yeonjun's eyes flashed. "It means I'm done. Done with your schemes, done with your orders."

Soobin's jaw clenched. "You're just scared."

Yeonjun shook his head. "I'm not scared, Soobin. I'm awake. I see you for what you are. You are disgusting, you do the most fcked up things.”

Soobin's eyes blazed. "You think you're better than me?"

Yeonjun stood firm.

"I think I'm better off without you.”

Taehyung led Y/n to the apartment,  and he looked around. It's perfect the building doesn't look too cheap or too classy.

"This is my place," he said, opening the door.

Y/n's gaze swept the interior. And froze. The apartment was a vibrant, eccentric space. Cowboy-themed decorations filled every corner.

Lassos.

Bandannas.

Wanted posters.

Y/n's eyes widened. "Taehyung, I didn't know you had this taste."

Taehyung looked around and he didn't know that either. What a mess.

“Hahaha is my flatmate, I share this apartment, he is the one who decorate it. I don't have time for all of this.” Taehyung covered it up quickly.

A small, fluffy puppy darted out. Yapping furiously. Y/n laughed. "And a dog!"

Taehyung's brow furrowed. He mumbled, "I... didn't know either."

The puppy's barks grew louder. Taehyung scooped up the puppy. But the puppy was trying to bite Taehyung.

"He is in a bad mood," he said. He tucked the puppy under his arm.

"Let's go." Taehyung said and brought the puppy to the dog house.  The puppy's barks continued. Taehyung locked the door. The puppy's yips echoed.

Y/n giggled. "I guess he doesn't like me coming here. He's still protecting the house from me.”

Taehyung grinned. The puppy is trying to protect the house from Taehyung too. "Loyal, isn't he?"

As they walked inside. The puppy's barks faded.

She stared at the window view, “It's nice.” She replied. Taehyung stared at the view, it was indeed nice. Even this same apartment had such a nice view. Or maybe it's Y/n that makes everything better?

She looked at him, and smiled  as she caught him staring. “What are you staring at huh?” She moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Everything is so beautiful with you.” He mumbled. She took off his glasses, she moved closer until their noses touched. She gently rubbed her nose to his.

“I am so in love with you.” She mumbled, before kissing his cheek. Taehyung couldn't help but couldn't.

“Did you come to my apartment to seduce me?” He teased her.

“I guess I got caught.” She replied, before kissing his lips.

He kissed back and pulled her closer and placed her back to the wall. He was smiling and his face was red. His hand were in her hair and she was tugging them. He was smiling and her eyes were closed. He kissed her neck. She moaned and he bit her lip. He grinned.

His eyes darkened with desire, a smirk playing on his lips as he pressed you harder against the wall. His voice was a low, seductive growl. “What if I decide to take what you're offering?”

“I want you to.” She replied. He unbuttoned his shirt revealing his buff body. He pulled her closer and kissed her neck, he softly bit her ear. She moaned softly, he put her hands over his body, for her to feel him.

He wanted her touch on his body. He doesn't need some drugs for her to touch him, she is doing it when she is completely sober.

Soobin spotted Jungkook sitting alone at the bar, Soobin made his way over. He stopped when he saw Jungkook looked angry. He was angry because he was one step back from Taehyung. But that doesn't mean Taehyung won right?

"Mind if I join you?" Soobin asked, sliding onto the stool beside Jungkook.

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, his gaze never leaving his whiskey.

“You look upset. Why are you sitting alone?” Soobin nodded toward the women glancing over, their interest in Jungkook evident. "You should go out with them.”*

Jungkook shook his head, his expression unyielding. "No."

Jungkook feels like he can never go back, since the moment he felt Y/n’s lips on her.

Soobin leaned in, "Means you're serious about Y/n, huh?"

Jungkook's gaze locked onto Soobin, "Stop playing games, Soobin. I don't even want you to say her name.”

Soobin's hands rose in surrender. "I won't. I promise. I just want to help my brother get his love."

Jungkook studied Soobin, searching for sincerity. Soobin met his gaze, his eyes unwavering.

"You can trust me, hyung," Soobin said, his voice soft and genuine.

Jungkook's expression remained guarded, “I don't need your help.”

“I think you do, it's not like you are trying to win her heart. You want to own her don't you?” Soobin asked. “I can help you, you don't have patience.”

Jungkook chuckled. “Trust me I have enough patience.” He stared at Soobin. “But I guess you do have a chance to prove that you are my brother. You want to degrade Y/n to me, I want you to do something that will make Taehyung hate Y/n.”

Jungkook knows how to make Y/n hate Taehyung, but he wants to ruin the relationship both ways.

Soobin was silent for some time before he smirked. “Just give me some time. I know exactly what to do.”
