Jungkook's voice pierced through the tense air like a dagger.

"Jungkook, come on!" Haneul was imploring, her voice cracking from frustration. "I have a job, friends, and family! People will miss me if you keep me here!"

A shadow of a smile crept on his lips as he calmly responded, "It will be taken care of. Don't worry about it."

"But—" she attempted to cut in, feeling desperate.

"Oh, and don't even think about trying to escape," he continued, his voice becoming harsher and more ominous. "I've got guards and cameras surrounding the property."

Haneul's gaze shifted to the door, a defiant spark blazing in them. "Why should I escape when there is a perfectly good door over there?"

Jungkook response was more in his expression than in his words, as he moved toward her slowly, hiding his hands in his pockets. His chest rose and fell at a steady pace, yet the tension in the room increased with every stride. His shadow engulfed her into its greatness, turning into an ominous figure of power and threat.

"And don't be like that, sweetheart," he said quietly, the term of endearment loaded with threats. "Would you ever consider leaving? I will just send my men to bring you back and tie you up—this time to the bed."

The words froze Haneul to the core, yet she didn't move. "Are you threatening me, Captain?" she asked, her tone firm despite the horror that consumed her to the core.

Jungkook smirked, tilting his head in an animalistic way, taking in every part of her. "I don't make a threat, sweetheart, I'm just telling you what will happen if you disobey me."

She looked at him straight in the eyes, the rage in her expression rising to the surface. "And if I decide not to follow your instructions, then what?"

Jungkook came closer, breathing on her face and whispering, "Then I will keep on pushing until you "break"."

Haneul's body shook when he spoke those words, and her flesh tensed up.

He towered over her, his voice like a gentle thunder, and said "I can tell you that you are a woman who can handle yourself... and I like that. But you must comply with my rules."

"Is that right?" She countered back. "And how exactly do you plan on breaking me, huh?" she asked, taking a bold step closer.

Her heart was racing as he inhaled her breath, and that moment's power made her legs as weak as if she were made of jelly. "Should I be afraid that you are going to hurt me?"

She licked her lips, and put herself up a bit up on her toes so that she could brush her lips with his jaw. "So you are saying this is what makes you lose your cool, showing your 'strength' by dominating a woman who is half your size?"

With his eyes set, his hands around her waist were strong and he was pulling her closer to him. They were basically face to face and it felt like the air was electrified between them.
