Heartless

{8}

Since that night she met with Dori, Runa had been questioning everything her father had said or done up until this point. She decided that although she couldn't fully trust the word of a man as crazy as Dori, she'd at least consider it but keep her head about this.

It was more than possible that what he was saying was true and wanted to unnerve her, or maybe in the moment he was too horny and said anything that popped into his conniving mind just to get a piece of pussy. Luckily, when she told Jungkook everything, he only gave her a heavy sigh and said that they weren't going to say anything to her father about this.

Considering that what she did would piss Min-Su off and he'd name-call and scold her for an hour about it, Jungkook decided that she learned her lesson when he ignored her for about two days. It wasn't petty, it was necessary and as soon as she apologized for withholding the truth from him and putting herself in danger, he finally spoke to her again.

She couldn't decide what was worse. The things that Dori said to her, his hands greedily touching her body, or Jungkook not uttering a single word. All three were quite bad, but at least Jungkook saw her side of things. He didn't like Min-Su much either, but he dealt with the occasional disrespect because that was his boss and he was staying in his home, although that was an obligation because of his job.

He didn't want to fight with the man, even if he sometimes fantasized about the many ways of killing him, and if anyone knew they'd certainly point a finger and call him a traitor. Other than the man being the biggest crime lord in history, he was a straight-up misogynistic asshole and Jungkook loathed the way he spoke to Runa.

Just that disgusted look in his eyes had the bodyguard's hands twitching to pull out both guns and shoot him until there were no bullets left. He was starting to realize how possessive he's gotten about her, that the stunt she pulled the other night simply didn't piss him off just because she didn't tell him, but because she could've gotten hurt.

As soon as he saw her on top of Dori, it was like he went into beast mode and his instinctive action was to pull a gun on the leader. Seeing his bare chest and the way he was panting, that dark look in his sharp eyes and the flush of his skin had Jungkook spiraling. He'd never gotten so close to losing control before, and he was angry at that fact.

Unfortunately, Runa was right. Although that was more than a common thing to happen, he despised how much he was starting to care, how he often admired her from afar unconsciously. His expression may have remained stoic at all times, but he felt like he was smiling sometimes and had to double-check in a mirror to make sure he wasn't showing it.

When he'd watch her do her makeup, the same routine as always as she browsed her collection of jewelry, bat her lashes at him, and silently asked him to help put a necklace around her neck. He knew almost everything about her, whether she told him verbally or he was too enthralled by observing every little detail about her, he was starting to think that he was going crazy.

No way that after 35 years of living on this Earth, he ever expected to know someone so well. That's why he followed her to Dori's because he saw she was creating a devious plan in her mind, and that was confirmed when he waited in the shadows and saw her Porsche driving to the gates.

He could predict her sometimes because of how organized and schedule-oriented she was. It was another trait he liked because her attitude towards situations was often the same as his. She had her ways of doing things and was stubborn as hell. She was a young, feisty woman that didn't take shit from anybody and had an unspoken control over the people around her.

They were under her thrall, too busy admiring her beauty to realize how easily they were taken advantage of. Her sweet face hid the devil inside, she was conniving and sick, and what made her even more dangerous was the fact that she could buy anyone, anything, at any time.
