"What ..." she blinked and picked up the small white box left on her desk. Carefully opening the lid, her eyes widened at the sight of the delicate gold necklace. Her fingers gently stroked the small diamond-strewn snowflake. She pulled a small blue note from under the snowflake and read it, clenching her teeth. "Happy birthday, Miss Assistant! Jeon Jungkook"
However, she had to admit that it was very nice that he remembered. Still, she closed the box and stormed into his office. "You can give it to one of your whores, sir!" Rina hissed and left the box on his desk. Jungkook leaned back and raised an eyebrow. "Don't you like it?" he asked, and she shook her head. "On the contrary, it's wonderful, but I'm not a woman who will spread her legs for a few diamonds!" she hissed and jumped out of his office.
Jungkook sighed, stood up, and followed. He grabbed her forearm, lifted her from her chair, and returned her to his office, closing the door behind him. He made her sit in his chair and, under her sullen gaze, took the necklace out of the box, went behind her, and carefully placed it on , deftly fastening it to her neck. Straightening her hair, he stroked her shoulders, and she shivered slightly. He smirked. "We both know I don't hav'to pay for sex, doll!" he whispered softly in her ear and she took a sharp breath. "Just accept it ..." his lips caressed her temple and she closed her eyes, squeezing the edge of his desk.  "Have dinner with me, Rina?" his arms wrapped around her neck and he gently lifted her face to his. She stood up and shook her head. "I already have plans for tonight," her voice trembled and she swallowed, avoiding his gaze. Jungkook smiled as he stood in front of her. "You can't run forever, baby" he stroked her neck, and she backed away, setting up a desk as a barrier between them. "And you can't chase me forever, sir!" she replied, poking her chin on the way to the door.

"Something unclear?" he surveyed the three men, then the club. They nodded that they understood, and he handed them a fair amount of money, smiling wickedly. "I can write a book about matchmakers!" Seokjin thought contentedly, rubbing his hands as he watched Jungkook at one end of the club with Jimin and Yoongi and Rina at the other, along with Min-Cha, Boram, and Emin. Naturally, he didn't warn the three that they would awaken a bloodthirsty beast, and there was a good chance that one of them would die, but that didn't matter. He winked at Emin and Min-Cha and happily hid in the darkest corner, waiting for the fun to begin.

Jungkook sipped his whiskey and smiled as he watched Rina whirl on the dance floor with Min-Cha. He, her ex-boyfriend and the one who was about to swallow the bullet, watched them from the side, chasing the intruders who approached his girl from time to time. Jungkook wouldn't let this one touch her again, but at least he was a watchdog, so for now he could control the raging jealousy.
"Jungkook, are you sure you don't want her?" he looked at Jimin and the girl on his lap and shook his head. Today was his girl's birthday, and he wouldn't ruin her night by getting drunk or her seeing him with someone else. She also wore the necklace he had given her. He wondered for a moment if she had seen the initials JJ on her back, but since she was wearing it, she probably hadn't. He smiled even wider as Rina turned and scampered ridiculously at the guard dog, then swallowed her drink at once, returning to the dance floor.

Rina laughed out loud when Min-Cha, holding her by both hands, twisted her hard and she almost fell. Embracing her, Min-Cha held her back and they both burst out laughing again. "Crazy!" Rina shook her head, and Min-Cha shrugged and winked at her. "A little break?" she suggested, and Rina followed her to the bar. "Is it really diamond?" Rina touched the small snowflake around her neck and smiled. "If he wasn't such a jerk and a playboy, he would be the perfect man" she sighed, thinking about Jungkook's attempts to get closer to her, or at least make her forgive him.
"Is it really that hard for you to forgive him, he seems to regret it a lot?" Min-Cha asked, sitting in a high chair, leaning on Boram's chest. "You know he's here, don't you?" Boram asked, and she shook her head, looking around the club.
Emin stood beside her and wrapped his arm around her waist, secretly watching Jungkook. Satisfied that he kept watching her, Emin hugged her even harder and Rina looked at him questioningly. He smiled at her and handed her another drink. Rina returned the smile absently, still searching for Jungkook with her eyes. "He's probably with one of his whores again" Rina thought, and sighed. She really wanted to forgive him, to be with him, but that morning, the memory was bleeding so painfully that it tore her whole being apart and scattered the pieces in all directions, leaving no chance for them to be glued again.And all those women who revolved around him. Seokjin had told her that he did not repeat the same woman, never, no feelings, no commitment, how then to suffer the same pain and let her body guide her?
Her heart wouldn't suffer a second such wound. Rina had taken a bullet, almost died of blood loss, gave him her first kiss and her first night as a Woman, and he had dumped her, treated her like one of many.
And yet, she wanted him, terribly, but the pain was stronger, she changed her, turned her into a cowardly little girl who would hardly ever trust a man again. This was probably the Jeon Jungkook effect.
"Come on, let's dance some more!" Min-Cha pulled her back to the dance floor again, and she laughed as they both jumped merrily, holding hands.
"Can we join, girls?" Rina and Min-Cha backed away in fright. Boram immediately approached and stood between them. "They're busy, guys, find your girlfriends!" he said calmly, hiding the two girls behind him. "Oh, come on, it's going to be fun, the four of us ..." one winked and the two women took a deep breath. "It won't happen, boys!" Boram looked at Emin, who stood beside him in a defensive stance. "Okay, then five, one more or less, no bad," grinned the first and Boram gritted his teeth. "I said it wouldn't happen!" he growled. "Then without you" shrugged the third and pushed him away with ease. Reaching over, he grabbed Rina by the forearm and she screamed, pulling away in horror. "Let her go!" Emin took his hand and pulled Rina away, hiding her behind him. His fist slammed into the man's face, which rumbled painfully.
The other two immediately went on the offensive, the victim returned the favor and Emin flew back, hitting Boram and Rina. Rina tried to grab something to keep her balance.
"Are you coming with us, sweetie?" Rina and Min-Cha slowly backed away, Boram slipping out of the grip of the man holding him and blocking his path, but he was knocked down and fell heavily away from the two women. "Boram!" Min-Cha came down and knelt beside him, while Rina was left alone against the approaching man, who was grinning ugly at her. "Come on, kitten, let's have fun!" he reached out and took her hand, she tried to pull away from his grip and kicked him hard in the knee. He roared and slapped her hard. Her head jerked back and blackened for a moment, her knees softened, and he pulled her, squeezing her painfully hard, trying to kiss her.Rina was no longer sure what exactly was going on, her head dizzy and her body felt heavy and numb.
Jungkook, Jimin, and Yoongi landed like a rockfall against the three men. Jungkook angrily snatched Rina from the bastard's hands, which had hit her, and she leaned helplessly against him. He looked at her as he squeezed the man's throat with his other hand.
"Baby?" he stared at the red imprint on her cheek. His fingers dug even harder into the man's throat as he studied her face, making sure there were no other injuries. The man fought desperately against the stronger opponent, but Jungkook was too busy with the woman on his chest. He glanced at the man and Yoongi standing behind him and pushed him in his direction. Making sure Min-Cha and Rina's two friends were okay, he picked her up and carried her to the exit, leaving everything to Jimin and Yoongi.
"J..Jungkook?" he looked at her. "It's all right, baby, we're going home" he whispered, and she nodded, resting her head on his shoulder.

Seokjin disguised himself as Jungkook walked past him and folded his arms across his chest. "The rest is up to you, kid, at least for tonight!" he looked back at Jimin and Yoongi, who were having fun, and then left the club on his own, careful not to be seen.
