Everyone slowly left the dining room, the sound of chairs scraping against the floor echoing softly through the large mansion. Lisa stayed silent the entire time, barely touching her food. Her mind was too full of thoughts she couldn't control. Eventually, she stood up and walked back to the room alone

In the room

Lisa Pov.
I sat on the edge of the bed, my hands clenched tightly in my lap. Everything that had happened today kept replaying in my mind. Wife...the word Jungkook used kept echoing in my head. How am I supposed to marry a mafia king...? My chest felt heavy. Nothing about this felt real... or right

Author Pov.
Lisa stayed lost in her thoughts for a long time, staring at the floor in silence. Then the door opened. Jungkook walked in. His presence immediately filled the room

Jungkook: Get ready. The wedding is in two days. Today we're handling preparations

Author Pov.
Lisa's body stiffened the moment she heard him

Lisa Pov.
My breath caught in my throat

Lisa: I don't want this...

Author Pov.
But my voice came out weaker than I wanted. Suddenly, everything I was holding in broke

Lisa: I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR WIFE!

Author Pov.
The room went silent. Jungkook's expression darkened instantly, his calm breaking for the first time.

Jungkook: You will be my wife, Lalisa Manobal

Author Pov.
His voice was low... final. Not loud. Not chaotic but dangerous in its certainty. Then, without another word, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving behind a suffocating silence. Lisa collapsed onto the bed, tears slipping down her face as her body shook. Not long after, the door opened again. Jennie, Jisoo, Rose, Nayeon, Momo, and Jihyo entered the room, immediately noticing Lisa crying

Jisoo: Why are you crying?

Nayeon: You should b happy... you're marrying Jungkook.

Lisa: Happy? How am I supposed to be happy when I was forced into this?

Author Pov.
Her voice cracked

Lisa: You guys... were you forced too?

Author Pov.
The room fell quiet for a moment

Momo: ...Yes. We were...

Author Pov.
Lisa looked up in shock

Jihyo: At first, we were forced too. We didn't have a choice

Jennie: But things changed over time

Lisa: How...?

Author Pov.
Rose hesitated before speaking softly

Rose: They're not just mafia kings... they became that way because of revenge

Jisoo: Their parents were killed in front of them when they were young. That changed everything

Nayeon: They weren't born like this. They built everything to survive and take revenge

Jennie: When we first learned the truth... we started understanding them more

Momo: And slowly... we stopped seeing only the mafia side

Jihyo: They can be cold... but they're not heartless all the time

Lisa stayed silent, her tears slowing as she listened. Then suddenly a loud crash echoed from downstairs. Lisa flinched and rushed to the window, looking down. She saw Jungkook confronting someone outside, his expression terrifyingly cold as guards restrained a man on the ground

Lisa: What...is he doing...?

Author Pov.
Rose quickly pulled her back

Rose: Don't watch that...

Author Pov.
Jennie's voice lowered.

Jennie: That's the part of him you shouldn't see too often

Author Pov.
Lisa's heart pounded as she slowly stepped back from the window, her fear deepening as reality sank in. Jungkook wasn't just powerful. He was dangerous in a world she barely understood. The mansion felt quieter after the incident downstairs. Lisa stayed in the room, sitting near the edge of the bed while the others tried to calm her down but her mind was still unsettled, replaying everything she had seen. After some time, the door opened again. Jungkook stepped inside. The atmosphere immediately changed. The others in the room straightened slightly, sensing his presence, before quietly leaving one by one until only Lisa and Jungkook were left. Lisa instinctively looked away. Jungkook closed the door behind him and walked in calmly, as if nothing had happened earlier

Jungkook: Everyone left.

Author Pov.
Lisa didn't answer. A long silence filled the room. Then he spoke again, softer but still firm

Jungkook: You saw it...

Author Pov.
Lisa's fingers tightened around the fabric of her dress

Lisa Pov.
My heart dropped. So he knew I saw everything. I didn't know what to say... or what I was supposed to feel.
Fear? Anger? Confusion? Maybe all of it at once.

Lisa: Why...? Why do you do things like that?

Author Pov.
Jungkook watched her quietly for a moment before walking a few steps closer, stopping at a safe distance

Jungkook: Because people like him don't understand soft warnings

Author Pov.
Lisa flinched slightly at his tone, but he didn't raise his voice.

Jungkook: In my world, hesitation gets people killed

Lisa: That doesn't mean you have to be like that...

Author Pov.
Jungkook's gaze darkened slightly, but his voice stayed controlled

Jungkook: It's already done, Lisa

Author Pov.
Silence again. Lisa finally looked at him, her eyes still wet

Lisa: I don't understand your world... and I don't think I ever will

That statement made something shift in his expression just for a second.

Jungkook: You don't have to understand everything. Just stay where I can protect you

Lisa: Or control me?

Author Pov.
The room went still. For a moment, Jungkook didn't respond. Then he stepped closer again, but stopped just before invading her space

Jungkook: If I wanted to control you... you wouldn't still be arguing with me

Author Pov.
That line made Lisa freeze. Not loud.
Not aggressive but firm enough to silence her..A tense silence followed.
Finally, Jungkook turned slightly toward the door

Jungkook: The wedding preparation is still going on

Lisa: I said I don't want

Jungkook: I heard you...

Author Pov.
He cut her off calmly

Jungkook: But it's already decided

Author Pov.
He looked at her one last time before leaving the room. The door clicked shut behind him. Lisa sat there alone again, her chest tight, realizing something terrifying. No matter how much she resisted...the world around her was already moving without her permission
