TAEHYUNG'S P.O.V
“The officers are gonna raid Hyun-Ki's company in five.” I declared as I deciphered Y/n’s eyes which held amusement as her eyebrows arched up to her forehead before she asked, “How? You tipped the officer?” Her voice came out, perplexed as I licked my lips before nodding at her.

“Yes. I have been digging into his company’s secrets and outlawed acts for a long time with the help of one of my cybersecurity friends. And he did a pretty good job collecting all the evidence against Hyun-Ki.” I looked up at her before placing my hand on her thighs while my other hand held the steering wheel in its place.

Feeling her warm hand on the back of mine she let out a deep breath through her mouth as I glanced at her before twitching my eyes at the road ahead, “It’s gonna end soon.” I whispered in my low yet audible voice before her grip over my hand stiffened, collecting all my attention.

“Is something wrong, Princess?” I muttered as I gazed at her nibbed bottom lip between her teeth, pressing hard. She would hurt herself from that force if she continued doing it even for more seconds. “You are gonna nip your lip like that,” I whispered, sliding my hand into her soft ones before stretching our intertwined hands against her cheek.

Her soft skin brushed against my hand as she released her lower lip from the clamp of her teeth before looking through my eyes with his Hazel ones, “Are you sure it will be over? I don't trust that man.” She whispered, emphasizing those last two words.

I released a light sigh before twirling the steering wheel halfway with my free hand as I halted the car at the shoulder of the partly empty road.

Y/n looked at me with befuddlement yet didn't question my movements as I turned to look at her before asking, “You trust me, right?”

Without wasting a second she answered my question with verity in her voice, “With my life.” Her words came out firm as she held my hand securely.

My eyes softened with her reassurance as I leaned towards her while she did the same for a few inches. “That’s what I just want you to do. Trust me and I promise that no one in this world would lay their finger on what's mine. I won't let them.” I declared as her eyes tensed instead of relaxing through my words making me uneasy.

Drawing our intertwined hand against her pink petals, she pressed her soft plumpy lips against my skin, sending flutters to my heart before she said, “Same goes with you, Taehyung. I won't let anything happen to you. You are my world. If you are okay, I am fine. If you get hurt, I feel the pain.” She whispered as I heard every word that slipped through her mouth even if the speedy car passed us a meter away from our car.

My heart skipped a beat while my jaw clenched within a wink before I stretched my free hand and pulled her by her nape as I crashed her lips on mine.

She closed her eyes before I did and I could feel her getting intense while I tilted my head before syncing my lips with her before slipping my fingers between her dainty ones.

I could feel my heart beating against my ribcage as I watched her chest bobbing with heavy breaths as she retreated away before I did and looked at me with her hazy eyes, “How can you taste so f*cking good all the time?” I muttered as her lips stretched in a smile before she scrunched her nose at my cheesy line, I know she likes it. I can see it in her eyes. She loved my flirty lines yet ended up blushing every time.

I could see the color appearing over the apple of her cheeks, “My strawberry.” I whispered, pressing the accelerator as I earned a tiny giggle from her before I steered towards my company.

We both have some important business to discuss about our collaboration project and it was the prime time I would love to spend with her without missing her presence in my soulless glazed skyscraper.

The tranquil atmosphere ended when we overheard Secretary Choi’s voice crashing through the soundproof walls.

The doors of my cabin flung open as I watched Y/n's hand loosen over the edge of the tablet she was holding to discuss some issue of our project. I knew who it was and he would come here. I was all prepared.

“How dare you?” His annoying, vexed voice rang in my cabin, coming harsh in my ear as I looked at Y/n who flinched a little at his shout, “What are you doing here?” She questioned him before raising herself off the chair.

Rolling my eyes, I twirled my chair to face the grimaced Hyun-Ki's partly wrinkled face. “You already know, why am I here? You f*cking bastard-”

Secretary Choi cut him a mid-sentence, “Get out of here, you can't intrude on someone's office like this.” Secretary Choi tried to pull him out of the office while the security guards paced their way toward him when I gestured to them to stay put with my eyes before slipping my hands inside the pocket of my pants while my secretary looked at me, “I will handle him.”

Secretary Choi nodded before leaving the cabin. I could feel Y/n’s eyes on me as I glanced at her and blinked, reassuring her, “You don't take permission before invading someone's reception or office. Well, I don't think of my enemy to be so uncivil yet you are a one with no respect so...” I taunted him as his eyebrows knitted together in anger while his nostrils fumed in rage before a smirk approached my lips.

“Just shut up-” Before I could heap in, Y/n cut his sentence off, “You should keep your filthy mouth shut after what you have done till now. To us and my father.” Her once loud sentence trailed off at last as I looked at her with a hint of agony and temper at the same time, the agony was for her while I held the fury back from the most impudent man standing in front of us but I procrastinate a lot, one wrong move from his side and I won’t hold myself back from strike him.

Hyun-ki’s eyebrows arched up as he looked at Y/n with his fierce eyes before his eyebrows fell into a frown as he took a stride toward Y/n but she didn’t step back even an inch.

He halted his steps just a few feet away from her as I fitched one of my hands out of my pocket before fisting it, restraining myself from creating a scene.

“I haven’t done much to you, my pretty little niece.” Hyun-ki’s words filled the silence while she pierced through his eyes as I looked at her before the next sentence left his throat in a certain loud tone, “You will die a pitiful death just like I ordered the gunman to kill your father.” My jaw clenched as I took a step towards him, padding closer to their physiques sideways.

“Shelve that tongue of yours before I rip it out of your mouth.” I gritted my teeth, my voice rough and deep. Hyun-ki looked through my eyes and I could discern the hint of fear deep down but his rage overtook it soon after, “And you? You were the one who tipped off the officers against my company.” His sentence came out as an answer instead of a question because he was pretty sure I did it.

“Why? Can’t I? You have been stirring your rooks around to assassinate us after Mr. Lee and I can’t even move a single pawn against you?” I could feel Y/n’s bottom eyelid shimmering in the amber lights yet her eyebrows were knitted at the person standing in front of her.

“You did wrong, Kim Taehyung and you will regret it.” He hissed when Y/n spoke up, “You would be the one who would do. We will make sure about it.” His eyes reddened when he took another step ahead before I saw him stretching his hand toward Y/n and that was my last limit, he had pushed it all as I hastily elongated my hand to hold his wrist with a brunt force, holding his hand midway.

Y/n looked at me while I glared at Hyun-ki with my ruddy eyes. I could feel the tip of my nose getting itchy while my earlobe heated up. Hearing him letting out a wince he glared back at me before I declared, “Keep your hands to yourself until you want them off your body.” I fumed, my voice more dangerous than ever as his hand trembled with my grip before I twisted it furthermore we all heard a Crack. His wrist was sprained for sure, “What the f*ck?” He howled.

Trying to pull his hand off my hold when I felt Y/n’s warm hand sliding over my hand as a chill snaked down my spine, “Leave him! Police will deal with him.” She whispered as we both looked at her. I loosened my grip before retreating my hand, “You will regret it.” Hyun-ki threatened me when I raised one of my eyebrows.

“Well, you should be the one losing your shit because the gunman you hired to kill is ready to confess, and everything you said here has been recorded. Your confessions must have been sent as a piece of evidence by now. You should be thinking of ways to get out of the mess you created.” I declared as I intertwined my hand with Y/n’s, looking at Hyun-ki’s eyes getting widened as his lips fell apart before he looked at me in horror.

“You recorded me?” He asked as the corner of my lips curved upwards in a smirk while I looked at him, “Clock is ticking. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.” I mocked him as he let out a huff before rushing out of my cabin.

Turning to face Y/n as she was already looking at me with her soft eyes, “Are you okay?” I asked, resting her jaw over my palm as she leaned in my touch.

“I am fine, Taehyung. Just a bit tense. He would probably try to flee out of the country. I know him very well.” Y/n declared as her teeth hindered her lower lip again, “I know. My men are keeping track of him. He would try to flee away as soon as possible before his arrest warrant circulates around Seoul.” I completed as she nodded with a mild smile before wrapping her hand around my physique.

“We are on our way.” Taehyung declared over the call as you looked at him with your crumpled eyebrows, “Officers have gotten Hyun-Ki's location which we shared and they are on their way.” You nodded at his statement as you were on your way to the airport, Hyun-Ki is leaving the country with his private jet and you being stubborn asked Taehyung if you could go with him to the airport and he couldn't say no to you.

Within the next fifteen minutes you both entered the airport as the officers rushed inside the airport with the team while Taehyung and you advanced your steps while he didn't slide your hand, say even for a split second.

You took a glance at the airport which was already under control by the security team knowing the officers were coming to capture the criminal.

“Hyun-ki, stop there.” The officer pointed his greymetal gun in Hyun-Ki’s direction making his steps cease a few meters away from the stairs of his private jet, “Surrender! You are under arrest for murdering, Mr. Lee Do- Hyun and attempting to murder, Mr. Kim Taehyung and Mrs. Kim Y/n.” The officer completed while his team spread up all over the runway when Hyun-Ki leisurely stretched both of his hands up in the air, gradually turning to face you both.

The officer cuffed Hyun-Ki's hands while he gritted his teeth when the officer tried to drag him with himself while Taehyung and you looked at the scene. Holding his hand stiffly while you could feel your heart getting lighter than ever as you licked your dried lips, your throat was already arid.

“You did it, Taehyung.” You whispered, taking a glance at Taehyung as his lips curved upwards before he whispered, “We did it, Princess.” Your lips stretched in a pretty smile which he noticed as his smile grew wider.

Hyun-Ki approached up while the officer walked behind him on his heels.

Hyun-ki threw a bitter glare at you both while Taehyung sneered looking at his cuffed hands before Hyun ki stopped beside Taehyung's frame when Taehyung whispered, “I don't think we would meet you after this moment. Hope you spend the worst life behind the bars and I will make sure of it.”

Hyun-ki gritted his teeth, “You-” He jiggled his cuffed hands forming a clunking noise while the officer held him down. Taehyung let out a chuckle, looking straight in his eyes, “And one last thing. Your company is going down the drain.” Taehyung declared as Hyun-Ki wiggled in the officer's hold.

You breathed out as Hyun-ki got dragged away out of the runway before Taehyung turned to look at you while you did the same.

You could feel the lust and love in his chocolaty orbs while he traced a lone tear gushing through your left eyes and before it could drop on the concrete surface of the runway, he placed his palm under your jaw as the crystal droplet settled on his palm.

“No more crying, Princess. He is gone. And everything is over now. No more fighting anyone. No more getting chased by anyone.” Taehyung whispered, closed his plan in a fist as he leaned in, bending down a few inches to reach your level while you closed your eyes before he kissed your another tear away.

“Hyun-ki!” You heard a bellow from a distant making your hastily open your eyes and turn around in the direction of the voice as you let in the situation but discerned Hyun-Ki holding the shining metal gun as your heart hammered and brows furrowed as he shouted, “LETTING YOU LIVE WAS MY BIGGEST MISTAKE, KIM TAEHYUNG.”

Your eyes widened hearing him, your hold stiffened around Taehyung's hand as Hyun-ki pointed the gun towards Taehyung and when you instantly moved your feet and stood in front of the love of your life, BANG! The sound of the gunshot echoed in your eardrums.
