SAVE ME || JIKOOK ✅

JIMIN POV

I rarely met anyone from the sect, All visitors to our house were off-limits to me.

I saw a doctor twice a year
and that was it.

When Carter came into the formal room, chills went
down my spine.

He talked about me as if
he'd known me.

We'd met once and his leers
at me were all I needed to
see to know I'd fight my
parents, the church and everyone to never be mated
to him but that didn't matter
to him.

I was a demon.

For him that was a fact.

"Marrying this abomination to
an alpha not of our church is wrong." He'd said those words while staring directly at me.

He scared me.

I'd never considered him as a potential mate for one second.

But then I hadn't wanted
anyone until Jungkook
walked through the door.

I loved how Jungkook stood
up for me.

This stranger, who had come from an agency on what was technically a blind date,
showed more caring and compassion for me than
anyone I'd ever known.

After we were pronounced married, Jungkook took my
hand and led me away.

No one could stop us now.

I was finally free.

If I wasn't so dazed from my heat symptoms, I might've danced and shouted.

I might have melted into a heaving pile of sobs like I'd almost done earlier.

I might have grabbed
Jungkook and pushed him
to the floor and mounted
him right there for all to see.

Instead, all I could do was
follow him through to the
front door and attempt to
keep myself from crawling
all over him with desire.

I heard Carter and my parents follow but ignored them.

Carter was saying something about more marriage forms to sign, seemingly irritated that
we were rushing off.

Father replied.

"Everything is in order."

"You will be compensated."

Jungkook turned to face me.

"You said you have two
more boxes upstairs."

"I can grab them for you."

"Yes, please."

"I want them."

"I was careful to pack only
the things I really wanted to take."

I set my bouquet on the stack
of boxes by the front door.

Now I was in the lead, pulling him up the dark staircase.

"Don't trip, I know the way
by heart but you don't."

"Will my phone light hurt you?"

"No, There's no UV from phones."

Jungkook turned on the device, sending shadows skittering all around us.

He played the gentleman as
he entered my room, glancing about with reverence.

"Extraordinary."

"This is where you've lived?"

"Yes."
