Part-8

"Oh my living heaven... This is just the beginning my dear... Now I'll show you what a sweet poison tastes like..."

I let out a low, sarcastic laugh, one that echoed in the silence of the room.

I dropped the phone onto the bed beside me and ran a hand through my hair. Standing up, I grabbed a towel and headed toward the bathroom.

°°°°°°°°°°

On the other hand. (Bella's POV)

I was lost in my thoughts, thinking about how he said yes to this proposal. "Appa I can't marry him I hate him appa!"

Appa got up from the bed. "You won't get anyone better than him, Bella... so think about it carefully and give me your answer..."

I also got up from the bed. "But Appa---" He cut my words and said, leaving my room, "Bella I want your answer in yes don't make me repeat my words."

As the door shut behind Appa, a deafening silence filled the room. I stood there, frozen, staring at the door.

I sat on the bed while I was unable to possess this. My mind was recalling the words of Jungkook he said to me yesterday. His voice echoed in my head like a cruel whisper.

"I never begged anyone and never will, Miss Heaven…"

"Jeon never apologizes."

A bitter chuckle formed on my lips. "And now… that same Jeon is ready to marry me?"

It didn't make sense. None of it did.

"What is running in your mind Jungkook?"

I grabbed my head with both hands, taking deep, shaky breaths as my heart pounded in my chest.

Next day, Jungkook's POV

I woke up at 7 a.m. jogging was part of my routine, and by 9, I had to be at the office.

After changing into a black tracksuit, I laced up my sneakers and stepped outside into the crisp morning air.

With my headphones on and a steady rhythm in my stride, I jogged peacefully along the familiar path. The world was quiet, the sun still shy, and for a while, everything felt still.

But as I reached the part of the track where I'd seen Bella yesterday, my steps slowed to a halt.

She wasn't there… but her image, clear and vivid, played across my mind like a scene on loop.

I chuckled under my breath and murmured to myself, "Oh, what have you done, my dear… Now I'm even more eager to see you... desperate to witness your reaction, my living heaven."

A smirk tugged at my lips as I pulled the hoodie over my head. Without another word, I picked up my pace and ran ahead, the silence of the morning chasing behind me.

After finishing my jog, I returned home.

I changed into black pants and a crisp white shirt, fastened my wristwatch, grabbed my coat, and stepped out of my room.

As I walked into the hallway, Jimin exited his room at the same time.

He glanced at me, and I would've passed by without a word, but he called out, "Jungkook, wait."

I paused and turned around, humming in response.

He walked toward me, hands tucked in his pants pockets. "Why are you marrying Bella?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, why?"

He took another step closer. "I know you don't like her. So why did you agree to marry her?"
