From Reluctance to Desire: A Mafia Story [JJK]

✨CLAIMED BY FIRE✨

Days turned into weeks, and our morning sessions had become the one constant in my life. Each day, Jungkook and I trained together, pushing the limits of what I thought I could handle. I had grown stronger, more confident, and our relationship had deepened in ways I hadn't anticipated. The teasing, the playful banter, the moments of quiet understanding—it was all there. But with all that closeness, tension had started to build too.

One particular morning, things felt... off.

The moment I entered the training room, I noticed it. Jungkook's posture was tense, his jaw set tighter than usual. He was pacing in front of the targets, barely acknowledging me when I arrived. Normally, he'd smirk or say something cheeky, but today, there was nothing. Silence.

"Ready?" I asked, trying to gauge his mood.

Jungkook didn't even look at me. "Let's just get this done," he muttered, his voice colder than usual.

I frowned, unease gnawing at me. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he snapped, his dark eyes finally locking with mine. They were more intense than usual, almost unreadable.

"Doesn't seem like 'nothing,'" I shot back, refusing to let it go. His sudden change in demeanor was throwing me off, and I wasn't about to let him brush it under the rug.

He handed me the gun more forcefully than usual. "Just focus on your aim."

The frustration bubbling inside me made it hard to concentrate. I held the gun, trying to keep my hands steady, but his mood was messing with my focus. I missed the target entirely, and Jungkook scoffed under his breath.

"Again," he ordered, but there was an edge in his tone that hadn't been there before.

I bit the inside of my cheek, trying to regain control, but the tension in the air between us was too thick. I fired again—another miss.

"Seriously?" Jungkook muttered, his voice dripping with irritation. "You've been doing this for weeks. You should be better by now."

His words stung more than they should have. I'd been holding in my frustration, but this... this was too much. "Well, maybe if you weren't acting like a complete jerk today, I'd be able to focus!"

Jungkook stopped pacing and turned to me, his eyes flashing with something dangerous. "A jerk? I'm trying to help you, and this is how you repay me?"

"Help me?" I snapped, taking a step toward him. "You're not helping, Jungkook! You're taking your anger out on me, and I don't even know why!"

He stepped closer, our faces now only inches apart. His jaw was tight, his muscles visibly tensed. "You think I'm angry at you?"

"I know you are," I shot back, unwilling to back down. "Ever since I walked in here, you've been acting like I'm the problem!"

His eyes darkened further, and the space between us seemed to crackle with unspoken tension. "The problem isn't you. It's... everything else. People trying to get close to you, thinking they have the right to even look at you—"

I blinked, the realization hitting me like a freight train. "This is about Luca, isn't it?" My voice was quieter now, but firm.

Jungkook's expression shifted. His fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tightening even more. "He's too close, Y/N. I see the way he looks at you."

"You're seriously jealous?!" I threw my hands up in disbelief. "Luca is just a friend, Jungkook. He's helped me train when you weren't around. That's it."

Jungkook's eyes narrowed, his voice lowering to a dangerous growl. "I don't like anyone getting close to you. You're mine."

The possessiveness in his tone made my blood boil, but it also stirred something deeper inside me, something I wasn't ready to admit. "You don't own me, Jungkook!" I shouted, my frustration spilling out. "I'm not some object you can control!"

His jaw tightened, and before I could react, he grabbed my wrist, pulling me closer. "You're not an object, Y/N," he growled, his voice thick with raw emotion. "But you are mine, whether you admit it or not."

I could feel the heat radiating off him, our breaths mingling as we stood mere inches apart. The tension had hit its breaking point, and for a moment, I didn't know if we were about to fight or—

Before I could process what was happening, his lips crashed against mine, fierce and demanding. The shock of it sent a jolt through my entire body. I froze for a second, but then instinct took over. My hands gripped the front of his shirt as I kissed him back just as intensely, all the pent-up frustration, anger, and unspoken feelings pouring out in that one heated moment.

His hands slid down to my waist, pulling me flush against him as the kiss deepened. It was overwhelming, the intensity of his touch, the way he claimed my lips like he had been waiting for this moment for far too long. The air between us crackled with unspoken desire, the tension finally finding its release.

I pulled back slightly, breathless, my heart pounding in my chest. "Jungkook..."

His forehead rested against mine, his breath coming out in ragged gasps. "You drive me crazy, Y/N," he murmured, his voice low and husky. "Every time I see you with someone else, I can't think straight. It kills me."

I searched his eyes, seeing the raw vulnerability behind his possessiveness. It wasn't just about control—it was fear. Fear of losing me.

"You don't have to be jealous," I whispered, my hands still gripping the fabric of his shirt. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

His grip on me tightened, his eyes searching mine, as if trying to believe what I was saying. "You're mine," he repeated, but this time, his voice was softer, more vulnerable.

I nodded, my heart still racing. "I'm yours, Jungkook."

For a moment, we just stood there, wrapped up in each other, the fight dissolving into something deeper, something more complicated. The line between anger and desire had blurred, and I knew things between us would never be the same.
