Third person p.o.v-
You walked out of the room into the corridor. The room you were in wasn't that far from the stairs. As you made your way towards the stairs, your eyes fell on the person you harbored so much hate for at the moment. Seeing him, your steps halted. He was standing near the sofa, going through a file, while Taehyung and Jimin were engrossed in their bickering. Just the sight of him ignited a fierce anger within you.
After yesterday's ordeal, fear of him lingered in your mind. You were even scared to be in his presence. However, just because you were scared didn't mean you would let him get away after everything he did to you. You refused to let that fear control you. The trembling fear inside was now replaced by a fiery determination, and you braced yourself to confront him. Swiftly, you approached his direction.
"Mam, please stop!" the maid's voice echoed through the hallway, catching Jungkook's attention. As he turned toward the stairs, you seized the moment, pushing him with all your might, causing him to stumble slightly.
Jimin and Taehyung who were caught up in their squabble, widened their eyes in shock at the unexpected turn of events. Even the maids and guards were taken aback by your actions.
''WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU HUH...''you shouted at him, your voice laced with anger. His dark gaze bore into you, causing a tremor of fear to ripple through your inner self, but you refused to show it, knowing you had to confront him today.
"Miss Han, please calm down. We can talk about it, please,'' Taehyung urged, attempting to diffuse the escalating tension.
"Calm down?... You're telling me to calm down?" you asked Taehyung in disbelief. "Your boss almost KILLED ME YESTERDAY, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN?" You exclaimed incredulously. Taehyung's gaze dropped at your words, realizing the gravity of the situation. Then, you turned your fury towards Jungkook, who met your glare with his own intense stare. "And you, just tell me, WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM?" you shouted at him, causing his eyes to narrow in response to the loud curse.
"A few days ago, you hurt me and shoved me just because I accidentally spilled coffee on your suit. But I didn't say anything, thinking that maybe you were going through some difficulties and that's why you behaved like this. But last night, you almost choked me to death over some trivial, nonsensical issue! If I hadn't passed out, you might have killed me. I wouldn't even have seen the sunrise!"
Jungkook's expression hardened, betraying his rising anger. However, you were too incensed by his actions to care.
Sensing the tension, Jimin stepped forward, attempting to defuse the situation. "Hey, listen hottie," he began, but your bloodshot glare silenced him.
"Okay, okay, Miss Han," he relented, raising his hands in surrender. "I understand what happened yesterday was wrong, but it was a misunderstanding. Jungkook didn't mean for any of that to happen. I apologize on his behalf, and I assure you it won't happen again."
"Why are you saying sorry, Mr. Park? It wasn't your fault; it was his," you asserted, jabbing a finger in Jungkook's direction who was glaring at you without saying a single word. "If anyone should be apologizing, it's him. And you, Mr. Jeon," you continued, striding past Jimin and stepping closer to Jungkook. "I'm not letting you get away with this. I'm going to report you to the cops, and trust me, I'll make sure you face the consequences."
Taehyung and Jimin exchanged alarmed glances, fully aware of the implications of your words. If this matter escalated to involve the police, it could spell disaster for Jungkook's reputation as a respected businessman in the eyes of the world. Moreover, the relationship between Han and Jeon would be greatly affected.
"Now tell me, Mr. Jeon, why did you do that? What have I ever done to you that you wanted to kill me?" you demanded, your voice trembling with a mix of anger and confusion. "You wanted to kill me because of a foolish reason that I remind you of someone named Lee Y/N? WHO THE HECK IS LEE Y/N?" you shouted, your frustration boiling over.
Jungkook's patience snapped the moment you mentioned Lee Y/N's name, or rather, your own name. His jaw clenched so tightly that his jawline became sharply defined, and his hands balled into fists, knuckles turning white. His dark eyes blazed with fury, and it seemed like he was on the verge of attacking you, ready to unleash the most horrible of fates upon you. Taehyung and Jimin panicked, knowing that if Jungkook didn't control his anger, the situation could spiral into something truly ugly.
Just as Jungkook seemed poised to strike, Taehyung intervened, grabbing him from behind and restraining his movements. "Jungkook, please, no, please," Taehyung pleaded, attempting to calm him down, while you stood there, shocked and shaken by his aggressive behavior.
"Get out," Jungkook finally spoke, his voice low and menacing.
"What?" you mumbled in disbelief, unable to comprehend the gravity of the situation.
"GET OUT!" Jungkook's growl reverberated through the mansion, causing everyone present to flinch involuntarily.
Tears welled up in your eyes upon hearing his words. The man standing before you had attempted to take your life without any valid reason, and now, instead of showing remorse, he was once again resorting to aggression.
"Miss Han, please, just leave. Things will only worsen if you stay," Jimin implored, while Taehyung struggled to restrain the increasingly aggressive Jungkook.
"I hate you... I HATE YOU, JEON JUNGKOOK!" you exclaimed, your voice choked with emotion as you turned and fled from the room, tears streaming down your face. Jungkook managed to free himself from Taehyung's grasp, shooting him a deathly glare that made Taehyung instinctively step back, bowing his head in submission.
In a fit of rage, Jungkook seized the nearby laptop and hurled it to the ground, the sound of shattering adding to the tense atmosphere. With a deep inhale, he closed his eyes tightly, attempting to regain control over his boiling anger before ascending the stairs towards his room.
"You stay here," Taehyung instructed Jimin firmly before darting outside the mansion to check on you, his worry palpable in the air.
You emerged from the Jeon mansion, tears flowing unabated from your eyes, refusing to heed their cease. How did this all happen? What did you do to deserve this? Why are you facing such tribulations? These tumultuous thoughts spun relentlessly in your mind. You had been leading a peaceful life, everything flowing smoothly until now. How did it all spiral into chaos?
The onslaught of events proved too much to bear. Fear gripped you, a fear intensified by the grim specter of death, which had loomed over you for the second time. Last night, you were mere inches away from its embrace.
First, the accident that transfigured your existence, thrusting you into the messed up life of another. Secondly, the man whom you used to address as your best friend once almost killed you last night.
If that weren't enough, the body's previous owner had amassed a legion of enemies, thrusting you into a dangerous game of survival. The events of yesterday could have ended in tragedy; If those goons had managed to capture you, the potential outcomes are unimaginable. They could have ended your life, or even worse, exploited you in ways beyond comprehension.
Every step of your life has become the biggest challenge for you. A single misstep could lead you to the most agonizing death, and no one would ever uncover the truth. What exacerbates the situation even more is that you have to face it all alone. There's no one to offer solace, no one who truly cares about you. In fact, nobody even knows your real name or identity; to everyone else, you're simply Han Jin Ae.
Back when you inhabited your original body, you lacked anyone who genuinely cared for you. However, you at least had Joseph, who consistently stood by your side during your trials and tribulations. Despite his occasional annoyance, he proved to be a steadfast and loyal friend.
But now, bereft of his companionship, you felt adrift, vulnerable, shattered. The overwhelming weight of it all threatened to unravel your sanity. It was making you crazy. Would this torment ever relent? Or everything is going to stay like this forever. The mere contemplation brought fresh tears to your eyes, and this time, you made no effort to stem their tide. Your anguished cries reverberated through the desolate surroundings as you buried your face in your trembling hands, consumed by despair.
Taehyung stepped out of the mansion and saw you crying, his heart breaking at the sound of your painful sobs. He knew that whatever had happened to you yesterday must have been too shocking, and Jungkook was truly at fault.
As he approached you, you remained unaware of his presence, too absorbed in your tears. He extended his hand to offer comfort but hesitated halfway.
You were weeping, your face hidden in your palms, oblivious to everything around you. Suddenly, two arms wrapped around you in a tight yet comforting hug. It was Taehyung, who hugged you understanding that you weren't close to stopping your tears. Feeling his warmth and support, your eyes filled with more tears as emotions overwhelmed you. You hugged him back, seeking solace in his embrace, crying your heart out against his chest.
You didn't know whose arms were around you; all you knew was that you desperately needed someone to lean on, to find comfort in that moment. Sometimes, even a hug from a stranger can ease the pain. You continued to hold onto him and cry until you gradually calmed down a bit,
"Unaware of a pair of bloodshot eyes watching Taehyung and you, with fists clenched."
