Jungkook's POV

"I have been raised and trained to be able to take over of my father one day. I have been following him around as he taught me everything that I needed to learn. When I was eighteen, I partially took over but wasn't fully assigned the title of a Boss's yet. I worked my ass off to improve everything, meaning more money flowed in, expanding territories and investing in business. My father stepped down when I was twenty when he saw the results I made, and how I made the family name get quite a reputation" I looked at Jisoo. She was listening to every word, her eyes sparkling in curiosity making me smile a little. Always so curious.

"I had formed alliances with a family that would benefit us, and to strengthen the ties between the families, my father suggested to me to marry their daughter. I was twenty-three at that time when I eventually agreed. And then we got engaged, it wasn't out of love it was arranged and I did it purely because of business purposes because that was all that mattered to me" I continued.

"You kind of sound like a jerk!"

"You think?" I raised a brow in amusement while she gave me a half shrug smiling.

"Just a little"

"I know, but it wasn't always like that. The more time I spent with her, the mure I started to care about her and at some point, I started to like her and thought this arrangement is not that bad. We were three years into our engagement before she died in my arms. And that shit made me go crazy" Jisoo took a sharp intake of breath, looking at me in shock.

"It was a sniper attack. It happened too fast before I could even understand what was happening. There was nothing I could do as I held her in my arms, watching her take her last breath before she became lifeless. It fucked me up. It fucked me so badly that I didn't care anymore, and killed my way untill I found the one who killed her" I stared off into the distance.

"I could never forget that day as it haunted me for years. I still remember the feeling of her blood splattering on my fave when she got shot in the neck. The way Sohee choked on her own blood and I helplessly tried to stop the bleeding. She had looked at me in fear before her eyes turned blank and lifeless. I had shouted for her to wake up but she didn't, and I held her in my arms for hours before I got pulled away. I didn't sleep. I couldn't as all I saw was her fave and the sound of her choking on her blood.

But all of that is over now and I have made peace with it. A piece of me still cares about her, but not in the way you think. I just like her as a person. When I love you. I didn't love her the way I love you" I told Jisoo softly, she had no idea she was the one who made me a whole new man.

Jisoo suddenly wrapped her arms around my back. She hugged me tightly, taking me by surprise as she pulled me out of my thoughts. I wrapped my arms around her too as I felt myself relax with her in my arms. Then felt something wet soaking my shirt.

"Hey, are you crying?" I tried to get her lean back to look at her but she only tightened her hold one and hid her face.

"No" her voice cracked letting me know that she was crying.

"You.srupid woman, why.are you crying?" I couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction.

This woman cared too much about people, even the ones she didn't know. Her heart was too big, too pure and too caring. And she was my fire. With one glimpse of her, she had softened my stone cold heart, melting the frozen parts with her warmth.

"I'm not stupid" she sniffed.

"I beg to differ"

"Shut up!" She leaned back and wiped away the tears with a frown on her face.
