Clash Of Hearts | Jungkook ✔️

2. "The Bride of Vengeance"

Jungkook's POV

I saw her holding a gun. And to make it worse, she was pointing it at Dad.

An unfamiliar, unsettling feeling gripped my heart. Pushing aside my thoughts, I rushed to Dad.

"Dad! Open your eyes, please," I murmured softly, my voice barely audible. He wasn't moving.

"Guards!" I yelled.

Several guards entered the office, their guns trained on Ena.

"Call the ambulance, now!" I shouted, tears threatening to fall. Five minutes later, they had taken Dad to the hospital.

Author's POV

Jungkook's yell startled Ena, causing the gun and inhaler to slip from her hands. Stunned, she stood frozen in place.

Jungkook returned from the living room after ensuring the guards, Jungwon, and Mrs. Jeon were with his father. Entering the office, his dark, menacing gaze locked onto Ena. He advanced toward her, his steps predatory. Her eyes stayed fixed on the floor, where the gun and inhaler lay.

She remained oblivious to Jungkook's presence until he grabbed her shoulders, slamming her against the wall. She gasped, meeting his eyes filled with rage.

"Why, Ena? Why the hell?" he demanded, his voice a furious growl.

She stammered, "J...Jungkook, l-listen-"

"SHUT UP!" He tightened his grip, his nails digging into her skin.

"Jungkook, you're hurting me!" she protested.

"Hurting you? I haven't even started," he retorted, his voice dripping with menace.

Ena's mind raced, screaming internally, What does he mean?

"Let me explain, Jungkook. You're misunderstanding," she pleaded.

"Explain what? You, holding a gun, pointing it at my father?" he shot back, incredulous.

"No, that's not it," she replied urgently, tears brimming.

Before she could continue, he dragged her through the corridor towards the stairs, her cries and struggles futile. He didn't look back until they reached a room upstairs. He opened the door and shoved her inside. The room was bare, devoid of any furniture.

"Jungkook, what are you doing?" she snapped.

Barely containing his anger, he marched towards her, grabbing a fistful of her hair. She whimpered, tears welling up as pain shot through her scalp.

"Do you not remember how my father loved you? How he took care of you when your own father vanished? His love for you was greater than for his own sons. How could you not give him his inhaler when he was fighting for his life?" he bellowed, tightening his grip with each word.

Her scalp burned as hair was yanked from her head. Finally, she broke down, sobbing loudly.

"I didn't..." Her voice trailed off into cries.

"Shut up. You'll stay here until I come back," he ordered, shoving her away and leaving the room. She collapsed to the floor, crying.

At the Hospital

"Mr. Jungkook, he is currently on a ventilator. We need to wait 48 hours to see if he regains consciousness. I'm afraid he might not make it. I'm sorry," the doctor said before walking away.

Jungkook didn't respond. He approached Mrs. Jeon, who sat on a bench in the hospital corridor.

"Tell me everything," he demanded coldly.
