Please, ignore mistakes🙏

Third person p.o.v-

Breaking the hug, Taehyung spoke hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Miss Han. You were crying so much, and I..."

"It's okay, Mr. Kim," you interrupted softly feeling a bit awkward.

"Miss Han, I know I shouldn't say this, but I'd like to request that you don't involve the police in what happened yesterday. Jungkook didn't mean any harm; it was a misunderstanding," he pleaded.

"That misunderstanding could have cost me my life. You know that very well. How can you even make such a request?" you retorted.

"I understand it must have been shocking for you, Miss Han. But trust me, Jungkook is going through a lot these days. If the matter reaches the police, it will only complicate things further. So please, I implore you not to involve them," he urged politely.

Taehyung wasn't genuinely afraid of you reporting Jungkook to the police. Jungkook held significant power in the underworld as the biggest mafia. The authorities, politicians, even governments were under his influence. But to the rest of the world, he was a respected businessman. Revealing his mafia ties infront of anyone was out of the question. Hence, Taehyung made the request.

"But what if he tries to harm me again?" you asked.

"That won't happen. I'll take full responsibility," he assured.

Taking a deep breath, you relented, "Okay, but if something like this happens again, I won't hold back."

"Sure, even I won't stop you if it comes to that," he replied with a faint smile. As you nodded and prepared to leave, he added, "By the way, your car is parked in the mansion's parking area. But if you prefer, our driver can drop you off at the Han Mansion."

"No need, I can manage," you replied politely, bidding him goodbye before heading to her car.

Upon reaching the Han Mansion, you stepped out of the car and retrieved your scarf from the backseat, wrapping it around your neck to conceal the fingerprints. Entering the mansion, you were greeted by Hana and Soojin in the living room.

"How was your day, Jin Ae? Did you enjoy with your friends?" Hana inquired.

"It was fine, Mom," you replied simply, though your puffy eyes didn't escape Hana's notice.

"But dear, why are your eyes puffy?" Hana questioned.

"I was up all night, that's all," you quickly fabricated an excuse.

"Okay, make sure to get some rest now," Hana advised. You nodded at her statement and were about to leave when your eyes fell on Soojin, who was smirking at you.

 "Weird bitch," Murmuring under your breath, you casted a disdainful glance at Soojin before disappearing into your room.

Stepping into the room, you closed the door softly behind you and made your way to the mirror. With a gentle tug, you removed your scarf and glanced at your neck in the reflection. Suddenly, the image of Jungkook's bloodied shirt flashed vividly in your mind.

"We were always afraid of him. We were even terrified to come in front of him because no one knows when he'll get angry and shoot you in the head'' maids words echoed in your head and it didn't took you long to understand the reason behind her statement.

FLASHBACK-

You, a little 5-year-old, carefully applied ointment to 7-year-old Jungkook's lips, which were bleeding from his father's earlier outburst of frustration.

"Why does your father hurt you so much?" you asked, concerned.

"He just takes out his frustration on me, but now i m used to of his beatings" Jungkook replied, nervously twiddling his fingers.

His statement stirred a flicker of annoyance within you, prompting you to gently cup his face in your palms. He looked at you with a mix of surprise and vulnerability as you met his gaze squarely. "No one in this world deserves to suffer without reason, You'll have to confront your father eventually. He can't continue to hurt you without reason."

Jungkook's lips curved into a soft smile. He placed his hands over yours ''Are you caring about me?"

"Of course, After all, you're my best friend," you replied, gently removing your hands from his face

"Can I ask you something, Kookie?"

"Sure," he said.

"You know, your father seems really rich from the way he dresses and the car he drives. So why do you live in this slum?"

Jungkook fell silent, biting his lip harshly, causing fresh blood to trickle down.

"Hey, why did you do that? Look, it's bleeding again," you scolded, gently wiping away the blood. "You don't have to hide anything from me, you know. You can tell me everything I m always with you."

"Promise you won't be scared or hate me after I tell you." He said with puppy eyes.

"I could never hate you, Kookie. Now, please, tell me."

"Actually, my father is a mob boss," he confessed, avoiding eye contact.

"What's a mob boss?" you asked, innocence in your voice.

"They're people who do bad things like hurting others, selling drugs, weapons, and showing no mercy," Jungkook explained.

"So your father hurts people?" you gasped, eyes widening.

"Yeah, he does. And he wants me to be like him. But I don't want that," Jungkook admitted.

"Don't worry, Kookie. Just because your father is a bad person doesn't mean you have to be. My mom says we can choose who we want to be. For example, my dad is a dlcodolic.."

"It's 'alcoholic', Y/N," Jungkook corrected gently.

"Yeah, yeah, that's what I said, 'dlcodolic...'' you proudly said and Jungkook facepalmed himself. "Anyway, just because my dad is a dlcodolic doesn't mean I'll have the same one. So, it's the same for you. You can choose to be different."

"But what if I do become a bad person?"

"Then I will smack your head with my own pretty hand. Did you see my biceps?" you said, flexing your biceps which were never there, and Jungkook couldn't help but laugh at your antics.

FLASHBACK ENDS-

But last night, as you looked at his blood-clotted shirt, it became clear that- He had indeed become a mob boss after all.

The rest of the day flowed smoothly, consumed by work that left you drained until nightfall. Collapsing onto the bed, you lacked the energy to even pull the blanket over yourself. In the dead of night, the door creaked open, and a figure cloaked in a hoodie slipped inside. Though you stirred at the sound, exhaustion dulled your senses, and you dismissed it, assuming it might be Jin Ae's mother checking on her daughter.

Your body stiffened slightly, the chill of the night creeping in as you lay uncovered. Instinctively, you curled up tighter, seeking warmth. Then, a gentle touch enveloped you, tucking the blanket snugly around your form. It brought a fleeting sense of comfort. Soon after, warm hands caressed your face, and you found yourself drifting into the touch, surrendering to sleep.

As the person began to withdraw, you grasped their hand unconsciously, whispering in your slumber, "Please, stay... don't go." Throughout the night, you held onto that hand, finding solace in its presence. But as morning broke, you awoke to find yourself alone once more. Dismissing the nighttime encounter as a mere figment of your imagination, you shrugged it off and carried on with your day.

_________________________

A few more uneventful days drifted by, bringing with them a sense of serenity as Emily and Soojin appeared to have ceased their bullying antics. Perhaps your earlier warning had finally struck a chord with them. But the feeling which you used to have that someone was watching was back but you didn't pay much attention to it as it wasn't a new thing for you.

In the midst of a routine classroom session, as the lecture wrapped up and your classmates began to file out, you found yourself standing in front of your locker. Upon opening it to stow away your belongings, your eyes were drawn to an unexpected addition: a CD nestled amidst your textbooks and notebooks.

Curiosity piqued, you lifted the CD, turning it over in your hands as you pondered its origin. "Who placed this here?" you wondered aloud, perplexed. "Didn't I secure my locker before class? How did this end up inside?" You quickly scan of the hallway but yielded no suspects.

With a mixture of intrigue and caution, you decided to take the CD with you, tucking it safely into your bag alongside your other items. Securing  your locker, you made your way to the university's computer lab, intent on unraveling the mystery of the unexpected disc.

MENTION OF TRIGGERIG PARTS. PLEASE SKIP IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE.

Upon reaching the computer lab, you noticed it was deserted. Seating yourself in front of a computer, you inserted the CD and clicked the play button. The screen displayed a processing sign before the video began, but what unfolded on the screen drained the color from your face.

"Please, please help me. Why are you doing this? Please save me, I'm your sister," the girl in the video pleaded, her hands held tightly by someone restraining her movements. The faces of others in the video were blurred.

 "Do you think I care? You should be thankful they're being lenient; they could be far more brutal," her sister retorted, leaving the girl in disbelief. It didn't take you long to recognize her as Soojin, but they had used an AI program to alter her voice, concealing the culprit's identity.

"This girl talks too much; tie her mouth so she can't talk," a voice unfamiliar to you spoke, but upon closer observation, you realized it belonged to Emily, as you noticed the bracelet she wore, identical to one you had seen on Emily's wrist a few days prior. They had altered her voice as well.

"No, please... please, no... NO... Mmmph," the girl's voice was muffled as someone covered her mouth with cloth while she struggled. Tearfully, she looked at her sister, who simply turned away.

"Are you recording all of this properly?" a deep, masculine voice entered the scene. "Make sure each and every part of her body is recorded," he added.

"Yeah boss, I'm capturing every shot," another masculine voice confirmed.

The first man, with a well-built physique, approached the girl, who was held by two others, and removed the cloth from her mouth.

"PLEASE, NO!" she screamed, inciting his anger as he covered her mouth with his hand. "Stop annoying me," he growled, gripping her throat, causing her to choke, and signaled for his men to leave, which they promptly did.

"Okay, dude, you enjoy. I'll wait outside," Emily said, starting to leave but pausing midway. "Aren't you coming with me?" she asked Soojin.

"No, I'm going to enjoy seeing this bitch suffer," Soojin replied.

"Okay, that's your choice then,'' she turned to the helpless girl and said ''you surely have a bad fate bitch"  before heading out, closing the door as Soojin stood there, a sinister smirk playing on her lips as she watched the helpless girl in demon's capture .

He callously flung her into the corner of the room before she could rise to protest, then delivered a brutal slap that nearly robbed her of consciousness. "Don't bother protesting; you know it's futile. Just accept it, like the little whore you are," the man sneered as he disrobed her lower body and thrust his fing3rs into her w00m3nhood without warning, eliciting anguished scr3ams. She glanced towards the person near the door with painful eyes whom she loved so much, whom she thought of as her sister, but Soojin just smirked at her state, enjoying it all.

The assailant proceeded to strip off his own lower garments, but before the disturbing scene could progress further, you hurriedly shut off the video, unable to endure any more.

"Oh... oh my god. This was much more brutal than I expected." You covered your face with your palms as intense anxiety made your hands and legs shake miserably. Suddenly, your heart began to thump loudly, and your breath became uneven. A sense of dread gripped your heart. You placed your hand over your chest, feeling the same unknown fear that haunted you on the first day of university, perhaps triggered by lingering memories of Han Jin Ae. "It would have been much better off if I hadn't seen that video. Damn, I can't believe Soojin could stoop so low, witnessing her sister being raped but choosing to indulge rather than intervene."

Yes, the video you just witnessed depicted Jin Ae's assault, and the most horrifying revelation was that 

The person lingering near the door was none other than Soojin.

"You reached for the water bottle resting near the computer, taking a sip to soothe your dry throat. Suddenly, your phone began to buzz. With trembling hands, you retrieved it, glancing at the caller ID which displayed 'Weird Bitch'.

Answering the call, Soojin's voice greeted you from the other end. ''Hey sis, did you enjoy the movie? Well, I'm sure you did. After all, you were the main lead of the movie.'' Your fist clenched at her words, though you remained silent as she continued, 'Now, listen carefully.

''Come to the university's storage room if you want to avoid further complications.''
