"What the hell?" Jungkook muttered, his mouth hanging slightly open as he stared at the photo he had just received from you. The image was almost surreal: you, grinning from ear to ear, head tilted a little, stood in front of a cab with both middle fingers raised defiantly. But it wasn't just the gesture that held his gaze-it was the caption below the photo:

"My sweet answer to Mr. Crazy Bastard."

His initial shock morphed into amusement as he stared at the photo. His lips tugged upward as a slow, sly smirk crept across his face, followed by a low, amused chuckle.

"Such a wild kitty I've got," he murmured, clicking his tongue with a smirk. The trill of his phone interrupted the moment. It was Jimin, whom Jungkook had dispatched to Jeon Mansion to keep an eye on you. Without hesitation, he answered the call.

"JK, Jin Ae... or should I say Y/N, isn't heading to Han Mansion. She's going towards her old apartment," Jimin's voice crackled through the line.

"Let her go," Jungkook replied, sliding into the driver's seat before shutting the car door with a quiet thud.

"But Jungkook, think about it again, if she really is Y/N like you believe, and if she goes there and finds out that whatever you told her was true, it will shatter her. She'll be heartbroken,"

Jungkook's grip tightened around the steering wheel as Jimin voiced his concern, his knuckles whitening because Jimin was right. He closed his eyes, taking a deep, steadying breath before speaking. "She deserves to know the truth, hyung. I know it's going to be hard for her. But sometimes, accepting the bitter truth is much better than living in a sugarcoated, awful lie. The fake hope will hurt her more Just keep an eye on her and make sure she's safe. I'll be there soon" Saying this, He ended the call, turned on the ignition of his Mercedes-Benz, and drove off, followed by a convoy of cars filled with armed and trained guards. He had a lot to take care of today.

The sun hung low in the sky, ready to jump below the horizon at a moment's notice, throwing just enough light to let the buildings cast long, dark shadows on the ground, the sky slowly burnishing itself from purple to a cold grey as the moon waited to come out. The cherry blossom trees, adorned with vibrant, colorful lights, created a mesmerizing spectacle. As the lights flickered on, they began to twinkle, casting a spellbinding glow that enchanted all who beheld them. People chatting and kids playing, creating a lively environment filled with vibrant energy and joy.

Amidst all of this, You stood anxiously in front of the building, your gaze fixed on a particular window on the ninth floor, the place that once was your home. As you stared, a rush of emotions surged through you, memories flooding back of the peaceful moments spent there.

After departing the Jeon mansion, you booked a cab to take you to your destination to find all the answers of your questions. But not before sending Jungkook a photo as your final answer. The satisfaction of your small victory simmered within you. Despite Jungkook's refusal to abandon the Jeon mansion, you had still managed to leave, unchallenged by anyone.

What you didn't realize, however, was that your departure wasn't due to the guards' reluctance to confront you. It was Jungkook's directive that paved your way. He had anticipated your rebellious streak; he knew you wouldn't agree if he asked you to stay put and would inevitably try to escape, even if the guards attempted to intervene. To avoid unnecessary struggle and ensure your comfort, especially since you were injured, he instructed the guards to let you leave if you chose to. Unbeknownst to you, your freedom was a part of Jungkook's plan.
