The days that followed were a blur of confusion and dread for her. She couldn't escape the memory of Jungkook's kisses, the way he had taken control so effortlessly, leaving her shaken to her core. She felt his presence everywhere—his dark, piercing eyes following her every move, his dominance weighing on her like a shadow she couldn't shake. Even in the crowded hallways, she felt alone, isolated by the burden of his unwanted attention.

Jungkook, on the other hand, was growing increasingly obsessed. He had thought that one taste of her would be enough to get her out of his system, but it had only made him want her more. He was consumed by thoughts of her—her defiance, her stubbornness, the way she trembled under his touch yet still found the strength to fight back. It was maddening, but also thrilling. She was a challenge, one he was determined to conquer completely.

One afternoon, as she sat in the library trying to focus on her studies, she felt the familiar prickle of being watched. She looked up to find Jungkook standing at the entrance, his eyes locked on her with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. Ignoring the way her pulse quickened, she buried her face in her books, hoping he would leave her alone.

But of course, he didn’t.

He approached her table, his footsteps slow and deliberate, as if he were savoring each moment of her discomfort. He pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, leaning in so close that she could feel the heat of his body.

“Studying hard, are we?” His voice was smooth, mocking.

She didn’t respond, her eyes glued to the pages in front of her.

He chuckled softly, a sound that sent shivers down her spine. “You can’t ignore me forever, you know. We have unfinished business.”

She clenched her fists under the table, fighting to keep her voice steady. “What do you want, Jungkook?”

He smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Oh, I think you know exactly what I want.”

Her heart pounded in her chest as she finally looked up at him. “I did what you asked. I apologized. What more do you want from me?”

He raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening. “I want you to remember your place. and I’m not done with you yet.”

The implication in his words was clear, and it made her stomach churn with fear and anger. “You’re insane,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Jungkook’s eyes darkened at her defiance, but instead of lashing out, he simply smiled—a slow, menacing smile that sent a chill down her spine. “You’ll learn soon enough,” he said quietly. “You’ll learn that you can’t fight me. No one can.”

She stared at him, her heart racing with a mixture of fear and fury. How had her life spiraled so out of control? How had she ended up under the thumb of this twisted, dangerous man? And more importantly, how was she going to escape him?

But deep down, she knew the answer to that last question. There was no escape. Not from Jungkook. He had marked her as his, and he wasn’t going to let her go.

Just then, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, sleek device—a new phone. He slid it across the table to her, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

“What’s this?” she asked, glaring at the device as if it were a snake.

“Your new phone,” he replied, leaning closer so that their faces were just inches apart. “The old one wasn’t secure enough. I’ve programmed my number into it. From now on, when I call or text, you answer immediately. No excuses. And don’t even think about using it to call for help or contact anyone I haven’t approved. I’ll know.”
