[20]
[Yn's POV]
A rush of pain hit the back of my head the moment I opened my eyes. Blinking them few times to adjust to the sunlight, I slowly sat up on the large king sized bed, only to realize being in a familiar room that wasn't mine. Panic rushed through my veins as I recalled about last night, how he forcefully brought me here, how my family was at the gunpoint, and how I lost my consciousness. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at my fate, but one thing I am pretty sure of is that I am getting out of here right now.
With such determination, I finally placed my feet on the cold marble floor and approached the closed door. Just when I was about to turn the knob the room of the bathroom door swung open, revealing the person whom I hate the most at the moment. His eyes met mine and they soften the moment he saw me standing, as if he was relieved about something.
"You're awake, I was so scared", he muttered softly under his breath before placing the towel on the bed, he was wearing a white shirt with black pants, in his formal clothes. Approaching my figure with the same soft expression, he cupped my face, checking if something's wrong or not. My heart was feeling warm in response to his touch, but my mind reminded me of the bitter reality, a reality in which we can't be together.
"Don't touch me" I spoke before shoving my head to the other side, not looking into his dark brown eyes that makes me weak. I heard him letting out a deep sigh, as he stared at me intensely, I could feel his eyes boring into my side profile, making me nervous and feel something different.
No Yn, you can't let your heart win against your brain
"Baby" he spoke but I chose not to answer. "Hey, look at me please" he again spoke softly, his voice was on the verge of breaking as he again reached out to me, placing his palm on my cheek making me shiver against his warm touch. I should not feel like this, but it's getting hard for me to resist his love. But loving him after what he did, especially with my family, that would be unfair, to them and to her.
"Why can't you understand this simple thing that we are over Jungkook?"
"And why can't you understand that I can't let you go?" he replied while caressing my cheek, his voice laced with seriousness and danger. "I know it's hard for you to accept living in the world from I belong, but it's not impossible. I will make things right, but for that I need your support as well, how am I supposed to do it when you are not giving me the chance to explain everything? Our love cannot be this weak" he spoke while inching closer to me, his hot breath fanned my face as his hand now went to my jaw, giving me tingles in the pit of my stomach.
"What's there to explain? That our relationship was build on a lie and that you were about to marry me by lying to me and my family? And what would you have done if I came to know about your truth after our marriage? Or were you planning to tell me after that so that I won't be able to escape from this relationship? That was on your mind right?" I finally looked into his eyes as tears blurred my vision, and to my surprise, his silence gave me the answer. Dread filled my body at this thought that he was indeed planning on to cage me here after our marriage if I refused to accept him being a Mafia.
"I never thought you were like this, selfish and heartless. No matter what you explain, my decision won't change, so it would be better if you let me go or else-"
"Or else what princess? What would you do? Hmm?" He cut me off by mumbling those words through gritted teeth, his expressions changing into an angry one.
"I'll escape" I spoke and did my best not to get scared from him. He stared into my eyes for few seconds before letting out a soft laugh, catching me off guard. Shaking his head, he again stared into my eyes before speaking, making my blood boil.
"Oh please do try it, let's see how you manage to fool my guards and the security system, I think you have forgotten that the main gate only opens with a code" he gave me a mocking smile as he spoke those words, making me freeze. No, there must be a way to get out of here, I won't let him win.
"And about earlier, yes, I am selfish, very much, but I'm not heartless baby, since my heart only beats for you. And I get what I want, so the sooner you understand this, the better it will be for both of us. And one more thing" he paused as he turned around, walking towards the nightstand. I tried to look what he was doing but it was of no use since his huge back was facing my front, but I did see a glimpse of him taking out something. Turning around, he looked into my eyes with seriousness and walked towards me.
But what made me freeze was the engagement ring in his hand that I took off last night.
"I'm letting it slide for now but if I don't see this ring on your finger anymore then you won't like the consequences darling, trust me", he whispered in a deep voice before grabbing my hand softly and slid the ring into my finger. All the time he was staring into my eyes with a strange look, making my insides twitch. I never knew a person can change to this extent where he refuses to accept his reality. I flinched when he suddenly placed his hand on my cheek, his thumb caressed my skin but it was only giving me shivers, not due to excitement but fear.
I fear him...
"Doctor told me you need to eat properly. I was so scared when I saw you unconscious last night, I felt as if someone has taken out my heart from my chest", he mumbled in a soft voice and scooted closer to me, making me stumble backwards and my back now came in contact with the wall. But he did not stop, his eyes travelled down to my lips. I shuddered in response to his intense gaze. No. This cannot happen. I won't let him touch me anymore.
"Don't come near me", I muttered out in a shaky voice making him stop. My breaths were shallow, panic was making its way up to my chest as I anticipated his next move. The last thing I ever want to happen is him touching me in any way, he has lost that right now. He doesn't have any right on me. I hear him letting out a deep breath as he looked to the other side for a minute while muttering something under his breath. Running his fingers through his hair, he gave me a serious look before speaking.
"Fresh yourself up and meet me in the dining room" walking past by me, he closed the door as I slid down the floor, tears making their way in my eyes. My breathing became regular, but I was numb, my mind, my heart, my senses, everything was numb. I know what he is doing is wrong, I know I can't fight against him, but I have to, I have to get out of here before he forcefully marries me.
"What have I got myself into?" I whispered while staring numbly at the wall in front of me, but my thoughts were soon interrupted by a knock on the door. I flinched and again, that fear came back.
Maid: "Mrs. Jeon, Mr. Jeon sent me to help you" hearing the old lady's voice, I closed my eyes and wiped off the tears from my face. Slowly getting up, I opened the door and looked at the maid who gave me a small smile, before entering the room. "I will ask someone to bring the necessary items, you can have a shower until then Mrs. Jeon? Young Master is waiting for you" she spoke softly, making me remind of my mother. How my parents were? I want to be with my family. This mere thought made me weak, and sensing my emotions, the old lady approached me before placing her hand on my shoulder.
Maid: "Mrs. Jeon-"
"P-Please, help me. I don't want to live here please, please help me" I finally broke down the walls of braveness that I created around my heart from the past few days, showing her my vulnerable side. She gave me a sympathetic look and wiped off the tears from my face that were falling without any constraints, and as she was about to speak, her movements stopped and she gazed behind me.
Turning my head at her direction, I freeze at my spot seeing him who was leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed against his chest and his eyes were dangerously looking at me.
Jungkook: "My darling is asking for something, aren't you going to give it to her?" he spoke to the maid while his eyes never left mine. Lazily standing up straight, he walked towards our direction, not breaking the eye contact and continued. "What is it that she desires Mrs. Bang?" he asked in a low voice before slowly touching my wet cheek, wiping off the tears and palmed it. The warmth of his hand sending shivers down my spine, but I stayed composed and watched him cautiously.
Mrs. Bang: "Y-Young Master, Mrs. Jeon was asking me to help her choose the proper dress-"
Jungkook: "You know what happens when someone betrays me, don't you Mrs. Bang?" he cut her off, making her scared including me who was still staring into his eyes that never left mine. "They die" he whispered in a deep voice before leaning next to my ear, his hand was caressing my cheek but my whole body went numb at his threat.
He was threatening me with Mrs. Bang's life...
"Leave her out of this" I mustered up the courage and finally spoke. His eyes sparkled, and a small devious smile made it's way up to his lips. He was showing he won, won this unspoken battle that we had, and now I am caged with him.
Caged with him forever...
