FORGED IN FIRE

chapter 3

Behind his mask, he smiled. "Recognized me so fast, huh? Seems like you're so in love with me too."

"Shut the fuck up!" she retorted, her frustration evident, His smile only grew wider as he turned to check something behind them.

Flashback

"Namjoon hyung, there are many cops following her even though no one filed a complaint against her. It's like they were waiting for her to do something wrong so that they can chase her and arrest her," he explained urgently.

"Are you sure they're cops?" a voice spoke from behind the call.

"Yes, I can recognize them," he replied confidently.

"It seems like they're bribed, and they're trying to kidnap her without making it obvious," the person on the other side said.

"Yeah... I'm following her, I'll try to help her first to avoid getting caught, but I don't think it'll work as you know her, she's so stubborn and she doesn't trust People, I want you to send me backup... I'm sure they'll use the road nearby Passing through a jungle," he strategized.

"But you'll get exposed, She'll get to know that you're helping her. What will you say to her?" the voice cautioned.

"I'll manage it..."

"Do you want me to kill all the cops?"

"Let's torture them first to make them sPill the truth."

End of flashback

He glanced at the familiar car and then turned back to her, extending his hand.

"Come on, hold my hand. I'll take you to a safer Place."

Rolling her eyes, she replied, "I'm handcuffed, old man."

"Kim Taehyung, my name is Kim Taehyung," he corrected her with a chuckle.

She teased him, "Okay, Kim old man."

He continued with unlocking her handcuffs, apologizing, "Sorry, I couldn't take my eyes off your face. You're so beautiful, I was distracted."

As he unlocked her restraints, she responded dryly, "stop flirting and hurry up."

Once freed, he gently took her hand, saying, "Okay, Ms. Fire, let's leave from here."

However, she remained stiff, refusing to move. Confusion crossed his face as he turned back to her.

"I'm repeating again, I don't want your help. I'm not scared of them. They're not doing anything wrong by chasing me, I was the one who stole someone's money, and I was running away because I'm in need of that money. I don't want to be safe right now. I want that money back, and it's in the cop's car. I'll go get it and then I'll leave from here by myself," Y/n declared defiantly.

He was left speechless, but deep down, he saw this coming. Y/n continued, her tone firm, "I won't say thank you because you stole my first kiss too. It's even now." As she turned to head towards the cars engulfed in smoke, he called out to her again, "Ms. Firee."

She turned around to correct him, "Y/n... Han Y/n." He began searching through his Pockets, leaving Y/n curious about his intentions.

"What are you doing?" she asked, Puzzled,

"I want to return your gun that I sneaked out before," he explained.

Y/n sighed and replied, "It's okay... you don't have to
return it."

Suddenly, he exclaimed, "Found it!" But instead of returning the gun from the Pocket he mentioned, he took it out from another Pocket.

Closing the distance between them, he extended his hand to give her the gun. As Y/n reached out to take it, he dropped the gun and swiftly locked her inside his arms. He then Pulled out a handkerchief from his Pocket and Placed it over her nose. Before y/n could react, she lost consciousness.

After few hours, Y/n opened her eyes, she found him hovering over her, his face uncomfortably close. Startled, she hastily Pushed him away, causing him to stumble to the ground. She quickly checked herself under the blanket, relieved to find her clothes unchanged.

"What the heck? What are you doing?"

"I wasn't doing anything wrong—" he began to Protest, but his words were abruptly cut off by a hard Punch from Y/n that sent him reeling.

He staggered backward, trying to regain his balance. Y/n seized his collar, yanking him closer, her eyes blazing with anger. Through gritted teeth, she asked, "What do you think you're even trying to do?"

He swiftly grabbed her hand, attempting to break free from her grip. "Look, there's a switch beside the headboard, I was just turning off the light so that you can sleep Peacefully," he explained.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DROP YOUR ACT....TELL ME WHERE THE FUCK I AM AND WHY YOU BROUGHT ME HERE!" Y/n demanded, bubbling up with anger.
