The car ride remained silent, with nobody daring to speak. Jungkook's anger seemed to be on another level, fueled by the memory of the boy holding y/n's hand. Y/n, nervously looking down, feared that Jungkook might direct his anger towards her. In the midst of this tension, she convinced herself, "I think I have to say sorry and explain to him." Looking beside her, she saw an angry Jungkook.

"Do it, y/n," she urged herself, and finally, she gathered the courage. "Jungkook, I'm sorry," she said, and suddenly, Jungkook pressed the car brakes. He looked at her face, filled with fear and confusion. "For what?" he asked. The air in the car became thicker, each moment hanging in uncertainty.

Her heart beat crazily and nervously as she began explaining, "Because of the early incident, but believe me, Jungkook, I—" Before she could finish, Jungkook placed his lips on hers without a word. Her heart stopped, and her body froze. Jungkook detached his lips; it wasn't a deep kiss, just a peck. He gently caressed her cheek with his finger.

"You know I believe in you more than anyone. You don't have to explain or ask for forgiveness when it's not your fault," Jungkook reassured her. Stuttering, she asked, "Then why are you angry?" His gaze fixed on her face, he responded, "Because I didn't like how he touched you without your permission. I hated when he forced you to be his girlfriend when you were mine."She closed her mouth, cheeks already turning red, and felt warmth in her heart, realising he cared for her. "And about the kiss, I'm not sorry for this. It's a beautiful moment. It's not a proper kiss, but still, whenever I'm close to you, my heart beats crazily. The best moment is when my lips touch your soft ones; it's like I touch your soul. Do you feel uncomfortable?" Jungkook asked. Nervously and shyly, she shook her head, indicating no, and looked down…

He smiled and caressed her head, "I promise next time I'll ask for permission, but you think too much for others sometimes. Think for yourself," Jungkook advised. "Do you understand, petals?" he asked, and she nodded her head. Suddenly, his phone rang, and he cursed as the moment with her was interrupted. After the call, he looked at her.

"Petal, if you don't mind, can we go first to my company? It's urgent work," Jungkook said. "It's okay; I will wait," y/n replied. "Let's go; you can see my company until I finish my work, and then we can go shopping," he said, speeding the car toward his company.

( in company) 

"You can sit here; I'll be back soon," Jungkook said and headed towards his meeting room. Meanwhile, y/n stood there, in her place "He is really working hard." She decided to explore the office and was amazed by its design. Some staff recognized her, while others didn't.  After a few minutes, Jungkook finished his work and went to check on y/n, only to find an empty cabin. "Where did she go?" Jungkook wondered. A giggling sound caught his attention, and curiously, he followed it until he saw Jimin and Taehyung talking with each other, both glancing at y/n, who was smiling and conversing with a staff member.

Jungkook approached them but paused to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Isn't Jungkook so lucky to have her?" Jimin commented, and Taehyung nodded in agreement. "She's really beautiful; Jungkook won the lottery," Taehyung added. Jimin chimed in, "Yes, if I found her earlier, I swear Jungkook would have prepared our engagement event." Taehyung laughed, and Jungkook glared at them from behind. "Why do I suddenly feel goosebumps?" Jimin said.  "Yes, I also felt like someone was glaring at us, but believe me, our sister-in-law is really beautiful," Taehyung reassured. "Yes, Jungkook is lucky. Why am I feeling strange?" Jimin questioned and turned to face the furious Jungkook, smoke seemingly coming from his nose….

Jimin froze in his place, whispering to Taehyung, who had a pissed expression, "I wish she met me." Taehyung continued to blabber, making Jungkook angrier. "Taehyung, turn back," Jimin whispered urgently. Taehyung turned, looking at him puzzled, and as he faced Jungkook again, his eyes widened seeing an angry Jungkook, horns seemingly coming out from his head.  "Run!" Jimin whispered urgently before Jungkook could catch them. They sprinted, with Jungkook in hot pursuit. "Jungkook, please, sorry! We'll never say it again! Calm your anger!" Taehyung pleaded, running to save himself from an enraged bull. "How dare you talk about her, hyung! I'm not going to leave you!" Jungkook yelled.
