Jungkook's POV

The sound of waves crashing softly against the shore fills the night air. Jungkook is walking along the beach, his hands buried deep in his pockets. The moonlight casts a soft glow on his face, but his expression is heavy with guilt and regret.

"How could I have lost control like that? I never wanted to hurt her... but I did. I... laid my hands on Aella." He stops walking, staring at the endless ocean ahead, trying to find answers in the depths of the night.

"How can I even look Taehyung hyung in the eyes after this? He trusted me... and I betrayed that trust.Taehyung hyung... he's going to tear me apart for this. And he should. I deserve it.

And Haesung uncle, he'll never forgive me. And Ara when she finds out will she ever be able to see me the same way?"

Jungkook's heart tightens at the thought of Ara. The one person he has always wanted to protect, to love... and now he's terrified that she will hate him forever.

"But what's done is done. There's no changing the past... no erasing what I did. But I can make things right. I have to... I will do whatever it takes to earn their forgiveness... no matter the cost."

His resolve hardens. The guilt is still there, but now there's a fire in his eyes-a determination to make amends, to find a way to fix what he broke.

"I can't undo my actions, but I can change what happens next. I will face Taehyung. I will apologize to Haesung. And Ara... I'll find a way to show her that I'm not the monster I've become."

Jungkook continues walking, the waves washing away his footprints in the sand, symbolizing his desire to wash away the mistakes of his past and start anew.

"I won't run away from this. I'll face it head-on. For them... for Ara... for myself."

The scene ends with Jungkook walking towards the horizon, the moonlight guiding his path, a faint glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. But he didn't know that someone was keeping an eye on him .

Boss he is alone , don't do anything know I will tell you when you have to do anything.

Ara's Pov

The sound of the clock ticking resonated through Ara's silent room as she laid on her bed, tossing and turning every few minutes.The only source of light in the room was the moon which somehow managed to enter his room through the closed curtains.Not like Ara complaint. The sound of the clock ticking resonated through Jungkook's silent room as he laid on his bed, tossing and turning every few minutes.The only source of light in the room was the moon which somehow managed to enter his room through the closed curtains. Not like Ara complait.In fact, she kinda liked the moonlight which eliminated her room's interior in darkness.

She wasn't going to get any sleep anyways.

Ara couldn't help but sigh at the thought.Earlier, she could barely finish his dinner.If it wasn't for her dad who she thinks, have already noticed his lack of interest in foods, she wouldn't even try to eat anything.But she couldn't bring himself to deny the food, not when his father prepared all her favorite dishes just to see her having her meal properly.

How can Jungkook affect her like this!
The girl couldn't help but wonder yet again.These days, she has been doing just that.She can only think of Jungkook .Ever since he came to know about Jungkook is a Mafia leader he is not actually a professor it's a good news that he is actually not her professor , but he is not a rival too she is happy to know this but one thing she is sure about whatever she feels for Jungkook she is the not the only one who feels it's a mutual feelings When the thoughts started to intensify her hurt feelings, Ara pushed her face into her pillow and screamed loudly.

Her voice was muffled for sure but the voices inside her which mocked her for falling for someone she shouldn't even dream of never got muffled.They sounded as clear as ever.

Soon enough, Ara sat down on her bed and she switched on the bedside lamp and took her laptop.

Since she was sure that she wouldn't get any sleep, she decided to indulge herself in her remaining project work.The more she works on it, the less time she'll be spending with the thought of Jungkook To Ara it was the only way to bring her unnecessarily loud heart on the right path.
She never ever lost control over her life.

Not even during his teenage years.
Today, she promises himself that she won't let this change in the future as well.

15 mins Later

After finishing my project my stomach begins to growl. "Erm! I'm starving!", I say out loud and then begin to think about what I could eat. I looked through the fridge but nothing that sounded remotely good. I thought for a moment & then I remembered seeing that Korean BBQ place across the street. My mouth begins to water at the mere memory of the smell. So I grab my purse and head downstairs.

Time skips

I head towards the crosswalk at the halfway point of the street. I looked left, then I looked right, turned my head forward, and crossed the street.

I finally reach the restaurant and head inside. After waiting in line for a few minutes I ordered my food to go and waited for it to be done. After a few more minutes I hear someone yell for me, "Mii Ara Your order is ready",says one of the employees. I quickly walk over, grab my to-go bag and say thank you and head out the door.

I started walking down the sidewalk to get to the crosswalk so I could get back to my mansion . As I passed an alleyway between two buildings I heard people talking. I was about to brush it off and head back to the room when I heard,

"YAH! THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THAT?! HUH?!", asks a man with a surprisingly deep voice.

I get a bad feeling, you know kinda like a 'spidey-sense', but against my better judgment I start to walk down the dimly lit alley, it would have been completely dark if it wasn't for it being around dusk(11.45 pm to be exact).

Once I reach the end of the alley, I peek around the corner and see two men standing face to face. One of them is the tall man from the elevator, and the other is oh my God it's Mr Jeon. I look back at the tall man and realize he's holding something. After he moved his arm a bit I then realized it was a gun.

*gulp*, "Oh god what do I do? What do I do?", I ask myself.
As I was trying to figure out what the hell to do, the tall man answered him, "he wants you dead, Jeon I have no choice, no hard feelings man".

A slight scoff is heard from Mr Jeon 's mouth. How can I be so calm? ?? "So it's come to this? Are you sure you can pull the trigger Kris? Or are you gonna choke like you did the last time you pointed a gun at my head?", he asked mockingly as he gave the other man a slight smirk.

"What the fuck is he smirking for? Doesn't he know he's gonna die", I ask softly under my breath.

I realized that I'd been standing here eavesdropping far too long, so I decided to look for a weapon. I scan the alley for something heavy, preferably a piece of plywood, you know the big ass boards that people use in all of the Hollywood films. But I soon realized that life does not imitate art in this situation. I reached into my purse to grab my phone so I could call someone for help but it stopped myself. I have to do it on my own when my finger hits something, my taser. I grabbed it, and set my purse and food on the ground lightly, so I didn't make any loud noises. I breathe in and then back out. And I ran straight into the line of fire.

Jungkook's POV

I stare down the barrel of Kris' gun, knowing damn well he's not gonna shoot me. When out of the corner of my left eye I see a girl running at full speed. Before I had time to react or anything, she jumped onto his back, wrapped her legs around his waist, and stabbed him in the neck with something. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's Ara. I finally realized what she hit him in the neck with once he tensed up. "Ha- she tasered his ass", I thought to myself.

My enjoyment of the show happening in front of me comes to a halt when I hear a bang, *bang*Kris' gun went off. I feel a sharp sting in my right leg, I fall to the ground and all I see is blood, "YOU FUCKING SHOT ME IN THE LEG! WHAT THE FU-", I start to yell until I pass out from shock.

5 minutes later

I feel pressure on my leg, I slowly open my eyes and see Ara holding a piece of cloth over my wound to stop the bleeding. I am about to shut my eyes again when I hear her speaking to someone, "I've applied pressure, what am I supposed to do until the ambulance gets here?", she asks the person on the other end of the phone in a frightened tone.

Then it hit me like a brick wall, "she said ambulance", I thought to myself.
I reach up and grab her wrist, "No ambulance", I say.

"You'll bleed out if I don't get you a-", she starts to explain until I cut her off.
"I said. NO AMBULANCE!', I say in a demanding tone.

"But sir-", she began to say when I cut her off again.

"I said no. Now do what you're told!", I command. She hesitates for a moment and then says to the operator, "It looks like it just grazed him, the bleeding stopped and he seems okay". The person on the other end asks her something and then after a moment she replies. "no-no! It's okay, I just saw blood and overreacted. I'm sorry I wasted your time.", she says in a calm tone this time. She says goodbye and hangs up the phone.

"Good girl", I say to her.
She looks down at me with an almost puppy-like expression. "What do I do now?!", she asks me.

"Could you help me to my car Angel, " I asked her.

"Yeah, I guess", she says quietly. She leans down to help me up, her cleavage resting right in front of my face. I feel a little something in my pants, so I think of my gross bloody leg because a hard-on is the last thing I need right now. Ara slides her left arm behind my back and helps me to stand up.

She opens the passenger door and starts to help me inside, "No! I have to drive myself home.", I say, trying to get her as far away from me as possible. And not because I wasn't enjoying her company, actually despite my current predicament I liked her being there. But I needed to get her away from me before Kris' backup arrived, knowing that if he didn't confirm my death, that they'd come for him. "She can't get hurt because of me", I thought to myself.

"Don't be an idiot!", she says to me. I looked at her surprised at what she said. "You got shot in the leg, how in the hell are you gonna drive all the way home with your left foot!", she said bluntly.

She lifted my legs into the car and ran around the front of the car to get to the driver's side. She hops in, looks at me and says, "I'm taking you to your mansion because if you won't let me call an ambulance, you're going to at least let me treat your leg.", she said it in a 'you're gonna do what I say' tone.

"Haesoek hyung lives with us at the hotel you don't need to take care of me, He can-", I begin to say when she cuts me off.

"Well I'm going to help him too", she said, and then she continues, "and shut up! I'm taking care of you! End of story bud!". I finally nod my head and agree, because I knew that I didn't entirely have a choice in the matter. She pushes the button to start the car, shifts gears and backs out the alley, and heads towards my mansion .

Taehyung And Aella's POV

Taehyung came out of the bathroom which was attached to Aella's guest room after taking a hot shower. Though Aella had put on a new night dress, and Taehyung wore his gray sweatpants and decided to leave his upper body naked he feels more comfortable while sleeping like that anyways . Rubbing his head with a towel he looked towards Aella who is busy with her laptop , and has a meeting tomorrow to attend . And she is working very hard to complete that project.

She is sitting on a sleek wooden desk, her laptop glowing softly as she focuses on her work. The room is bathed in the warm light of the late afternoon sun filtering through the sheer curtains, casting a golden hue across the space. Her fingers dance across the keyboard, a look of deep concentration etched on her face.

Suddenly, Aella feels a familiar presence approaching from behind. Before she can turn around, she feels the warmth of Taehyung's embrace as his strong arms wrap around her waist. He leans down, resting his chin on her shoulder, and she can feel his breath against her neck.

Aella's tense posture softens as she leans back into him, momentarily closing her eyes to savor the comforting closeness.

Taehyung's voice is soft, almost a whisper, as he speaks, "You've been working too hard, baby Take a break."

Aella opens her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips as she continues typing, "Just a few more minutes, Tae. I'm almost done."

Taehyung chuckles softly, his breath tickling her ear. "You always say that. How about I convince you to stop?"

She turns her head slightly, catching a glimpse of the playful glint in his eyes.

"And how do you plan on doing that?"

Taehyung tightens his embrace, pulling her closer as he presses a gentle kiss to her temple. "You'll see."

Aella feels a rush of warmth spread through her, a mix of affection and amusement. She knows she can't resist him for long, and as Taehyung's kisses trail down to her cheek, she laughs softly and closes her laptop.

"Alright, you win," she concedes, turning around in his arms to face him while she also wrapped her arms around his neck and she kissed his left cheek loving

Taehyung grins, his eyes shining with victory. "I always do."

Aella rolls her eyes playfully, but her heart swells with love as she looks at Taehyung and she says "You're impossible, you know that?"

"And you love me for it," Taehyung replies, leaning down to capture her lips in a tender kiss, sealing the moment with the unspoken bond they share.

As their kiss breaks, Taehyung gazes down at Aella with a soft smile, his eyes filled with warmth and adoration. Without a word, he gently slides his arms under her, one around her shoulders and the other beneath her knees, effortlessly lifting her off the ground. Aella lets out a surprised giggle, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck as he cradles her against his chest.

"Tae!" Aella laughs, her voice filled with both surprise and delight. "What are you doing?"

Taehyung grins down at her, his heart swelling with love. "Taking care of you, like I always do," he replies, his tone tender.

He carries her to the bed, the soft sheets rustling as he gently lays her down. Aella looks up at him, her expression softening as she reaches up to brush a stray lock of hair from his forehead.

"You're too good to me," she murmurs, her voice barely above a whisper.

Taehyung kneels beside her on the bed, his hand coming up to caress her cheek. "You deserve nothing less," he says, his eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that makes her heart skip a beat.

He gently guides her to lie down fully, his touch careful and soothing. As Aella's head rests on the pillow, Taehyung pulls the blanket over her, tucking it around her with the utmost care. She watches him with a mixture of love and gratitude, her heart overflowing with emotion.

Taehyung lies down beside her, propping himself up on one elbow as he brushes a few strands of hair away from her face. "You need to rest," he murmurs, his voice tender. "You've been working too hard, and I don't want you to burn out."

Aella reaches up, tracing her fingers along his jawline. "You always take such good care of me, Taehyung."

Taehyung leans down, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead and says "That's because you're everything to me," he says softly, leaning down to press a gentle kiss to her both eyes and nose

Aella's eyes flutter closed at the touch, a wave of calm washing over her. She feels Taehyung's hand gently stroking her hair, his fingers moving in slow, soothing motions.

Aella's eyes flutter closed, her breathing slowing as the comfort of the moment envelops her. "Stay with me," she murmurs, her voice tinged with drowsiness.

"Sleep, my love," Taehyung whispers, his voice a comforting lullaby. "I'm right here. I won't go anywhere."

"Close your eyes," he whispers, his voice laced with a calming, protective tone. "You need rest."

"I'm not going anywhere," Taehyung assures her, settling down beside her on the bed. He wraps his arms around her, pulling her close so that her head rests against his chest.

Aella feels the steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her ear, a sound that pulls her closer to sleep. "I love you, Tae," she whispers, her voice barely audible as she drifts off.

Taehyung presses another kiss to her hair, his voice equally soft as he replies, "I love you too, baby Sleep well."

As Aella's breathing deepens, Taehyung watches over her, his hand gently stroking her hair. The room falls into a peaceful silence, and with a contented sigh,

Taehyung watches her, his heart swelling with love as he continues to stroke her hair. "Sweet dreams, Aella," he murmurs, his voice barely audible as her breathing evens out and she slips into a peaceful slumber.

Taehyung stays by her side, holding her close, his heart full as he watches over her, content just to be near her.

Taehyung doesn't know.He doesn't know how and when this happened.The only thing he knows is he loves this girl the way he has never loved anyone before.It wasn't even a question to him whether it was love or just liking.

Kim Taehyung doesn't have doubts.
He knows what he wants.
And he has a record of getting them all.

No,Kim Taehyung doesn't think of Aella as some mere thing and he certainly didn't want to own her .

He wanted Aella as a whole.He wanted to embrace the girl with so much love and care.He wanted to grow old with Aella

And he has already promised himself that he'll have it all soon!

Taehyung stays by her side, holding her close, his heart full as he watches over her, content just to be near her.

The room falls into a peaceful silence, and with a contented sigh, Taehyung closes his eyes, knowing that this is where he belongs by her side, always.
