The End of Us! [JK x Reader]

Chapter One (3/3)

                    "Hey, Jungkook! I had some work with your dad, so I thought I would stop by before—wait... Y/N?"

The moment I heard his voice, my eyes widened in shock, and my soul felt like it left my body when he called my name. It was none other than my brother, the one who had locked me in my room just 40/50 minutes ago

"What are you doing here?" His footsteps grew closer, but I didn't turn around yet

"She was here to talk with me" Jungkook chimed in, making me want to punch him square in the face

'Fuck! Why did I have to end up in this situation?!'

"Talk? What talk? And how did you get here?" My brother's sharp voice was now directed solely at me. I could feel his piercing gaze boring into my back, so I stood up and turned to face him

I decided to tell the truth. I wasn't afraid of him. Threats were all he had, and I refused to cower before them

"I came here, to ask him to cancel this pointless marriage, but guess what? Turns out, he's as greedy as you are!" My voice grew louder with frustration "You're willing to sell your own sister for money, and he's happy to buy a girl way younger than him in the name of marriage, all for the same reason, money!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Selling? Buying? It's just a contract marriage. Once it's over, you'll be back home. You know how bad things are with the company. If you go through with this marriage, their support will keep our company thriving for generations!" he argued, trying to sound convincing, especially in front of Jungkook

I scoffed at his pathetic justification "Appa wanted to achieve that success on his own, not by begging or selling his daughter's life! I wish Appa could wake up and see the disaster you're creating. I'm sure he would hate you"

His expression darkened as I turned to leave, but before I could take a step, he shoved me back. I stumbled, barely managing to stay upright

"Appa will hate me?" he spat, pointing at himself "If he hates anyone, it'll be you!" His words struck me like a dagger to the chest. My voice shook as I asked "W-why... Why would he hate me?"

"Because you're the reason he's in this condition! You were born only to destroy our family. Why don't you just go and die? Trust me, no one will care!"

I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and scoffed, refusing to let him see me crumble. I brushed past him, bumping my shoulder against his as I walked out. It hurts... It hurts so badly every time he says something like this. No matter how much I try to ignore it, it always hurts

As I left, I vaguely heard him saying something, maybe an apology to Jungkook. But who cares? He's the one who created this chaos. I wanted to escape from everything and everyone anyways

—JUNGKOOK'S POV

I was seconds away from throwing both of them out of my office when they started bickering. The noise was unbearable, but as I listened more closely, it didn't feel like a typical sibling fight

They had argued at dinner last night too, but I assumed it was because Y/N didn't want the marriage. Now, it was clear there was something far deeper

"Why don't you just go and die? Trust me, no one will care"

Eun-Jun's words sent a chill down my spine. No matter what issues they had, how could someone say that to their own sibling?

I half-expected Y/N to snap back, but to my surprise, she didn't. Instead, she left my office in tears

For reasons I couldn't explain, watching her cry made my chest tighten. I had never felt this way before, not for anyone, not even for people I have known for years. Yet here I was, affected by a girl I had met only twice
