Chapter 25: Choices

Breeh's pov

I couldn't believe the words that had just left Taehyung's mouth. Marry him?Does he don't care for others feeling? Is everything just game to him?The sheer audacity was mind-numbing. Without a second thought, I pushed my chair back and stormed out of the restaurant. My mind was a whirlwind of confusion and anger. How could he manipulate me like this?

The cold night air hit me like a slap, but it did little to cool the fire burning inside me. As I reached the sidewalk, a firm grip on my wrist stopped me dead in my tracks. I spun around, my eyes blazing, only to find Taehyung staring back at me with an infuriatingly calm expression.

"What now, Taehyung?" I snapped, my voice shaking with barely contained fury.

He didn’t release my wrist. Instead, he pulled me closer, his eyes locking onto mine. "Breeh. If you don't agree to my plan, I won't hesitate to go through with the marriage to Hae-in and ruin her life. You know I can make it happen."

The sheer coldness in his voice sent shivers down my spine. “How could someone be this ruthless.” I whispered, more to myself than to him.

A smirk played on his lips as he leaned in closer. "Try me. Do you really want to test if I'm bluffing? Agree to this, or watch your sister suffer."

My heart pounded, each beat echoing the helplessness I felt. He had me cornered, and he knew it.

"Tomorrow, I'll come to your house and tell our families that we’ve realized we love each other and can’t live without one another. You will back me up on this story," he commanded, his tone brooking no argument.

His hold over me was too strong. "And don’t even think about saying anything to anyone. This is between us, and it’s for the greater good... at least, for your sister’s sake."

I wanted to scream, to fight back, but I knew it was futile. His grip on my wrist loosen briefly then he let go, stepping back with a look of triumph. "See you tomorrow," he said, turning and walking away.

As I watched him leave, I felt my world collapsing around me. “How had everything become so entangled? How did I end up here, trapped in a web of lies and manipulation?” I shouted out. The weight of Taehyung's ultimatum pressed heavily on my chest, and I could feel the tears welling up. I was trapped, with no way out that I could see.

I wandered aimlessly down the street, the cold night air biting at my skin. Every step felt heavier than the last as the reality of Taehyung’s threat settled in. My mind raced, trying to find a way out of this mess, but every path seemed to lead to more complications. My heart ached for Hae-in, knowing she had no idea about the manipulative game being played with her life as the stakes.

Jungkook's face flashed in my mind. How could I tell him about this? How could I break his heart which will hurt mine more? As the thought of hurting Jungkook was unbearable. He had been so genuine and loving. And now, I'm sure such a loving person is just not in my fate.

“This is breaking me from inside to settle apart of my life I'm burying another.......well that's fine Breeh. You don't deserve him anyway, he is too good for someone like me. He can never stay happy with a lonely soul like mine.”

I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. Tomorrow was going to be one of the hardest days of my life. I would have to lie to my family, to Jungkook, to everyone. But what choice did I have? Taehyung had backed me into a corner, and there was no escape.

As I walked home, the weight of my decisions bore down on me. Each step felt heavier than the last. By the time I reached my front door, I was exhausted, both physically and emotionally. I collapsed onto my bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to find some semblance of peace in the chaos that had become my life.

“Why everything becomes entangled?”

Jungkook's Pov

I was still floating on a cloud after Breeh’s unexpected confession. She loved me. Those words played over and over in my mind, making me the happiest guy in the universe. I couldn’t stop smiling, my heart racing with pure joy. Breeh’s words were everything I’d hoped for and more.

As I walked back to my apartment, I couldn’t help but think about all our interactions. Sure, Breeh was just a simple girl with her own set of struggles. But that’s what made her so special to me. Despite everything life threw at her, she faced it head-on with a quiet strength that drew me in. She made me interested in her life, her struggles, and her victories. Every conversation with her left me wanting more, wanting to be the one to bring a smile to her face and make her happy.

I thought about our first meeting, the way her eyes sparkled with determination even when she talked about her challenges. It wasn’t pity that I felt for her, but admiration. She was resilient, strong, and incredibly kind-hearted. She made me want to be a better person, to be someone worthy of her love because I know she is someone who will love someone unconditional and the thought being loved like that loved by her makes me greedy to keep her all for myself and realization hit me harder than I expected.

I remembered how she would smile shyly when talking about her dreams, how she would light up when discussing her passions. Her simplicity captivated me. In a world full of complexities, Breeh was a breath of fresh air. She was real, unpretentious, and genuine. And that’s what made me fall for her. Her struggles made her who she was, and I loved every part of her, even the parts that were still healing.

My past relationships had all failed for one reason or another. Misunderstandings, mismatched priorities, and sometimes just bad timing. But with Breeh, it was different. She brought a sense of peace to my chaotic life. Even in her moments of sadness, I found myself wanting to be there for her, to support her, and to see her through her darkest days. That’s how I knew I loved her. She was worth every bit of effort, and her happiness was my own.

As I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, I couldn’t help but dream about our future together. Simple moments like cooking dinner, watching movies, and sharing our dreams. Breeh deserved all the happiness in the world, and I wanted to be the one to give it to her.

“She had brought so much light into my life, just with her presence and I'm determined to be the same for her.”

"Love is beautifully chaotic, a tangled mess of emotions where hearts collide and break, yet keep beating just the same."
