Arranged marriage

✨Chapter 4✨

The night air felt different, charged with an electricity that sent shivers down Y/N's spine. As she stepped outside, hand in hand with Jungkook, the festive sounds of the wedding reception faded into an eerie silence, leaving her heart racing. The elegant affair was supposed to be a new beginning, but instead, it felt like a descent into darkness.

Before she could fully grasp her surroundings, a figure emerged from the shadows, stepping into the dim light spilling from the doorway. Y/N's breath caught in her throat as her heart pounded like a drum. The man had a hood pulled low over his face, his intentions hidden beneath layers of darkness.

Jungkook stiffened beside her, his grip on her hand tightening like a vice. "Stay behind me," he commanded, his voice low and steady, with an edge that sent an undeniable chill down her spine.

"Who are you?" Y/N managed to whisper, trying to steady her racing pulse. The threat was palpable, and every instinct screamed for her to flee, yet she felt rooted to the spot, caught between fear and curiosity.

The figure stepped forward, and the moonlight illuminated his face, revealing the man who had attacked her just the night before. Anger and desperation flickered in his eyes as he stared at Y/N. "Did you really think you could escape me?" he spat, venom dripping from his words. "You belong to me."

Jungkook shifted, positioning himself protectively in front of her, an unyielding wall against the darkness. "Get away from her," he growled, his voice low and dangerous, like the calm before a storm. "You don't know what you're getting into."

The man's laughter echoed through the night, harsh and mocking. "You think you can protect her? You have no idea what she means to me, what this is all about," he taunted, his voice a chilling reminder of the danger looming over them.

Y/N's mind raced, fear mingling with confusion. What was happening? Why was this man so determined to claim her? Her mind struggled to connect the dots between the wedding, the attack, and the dark undertones of her new life.

Before she could comprehend her thoughts, Jungkook lunged forward, a blur of motion as he charged at the assailant. "Run!" he shouted, urgency threading through his command. Y/N felt the instinctive need to obey, but panic surged through her, and she hesitated.

"Jungkook!" she screamed as the two men collided, fists flying in a whirlwind of chaos. She watched in horror, rooted to the spot, as Jungkook fought against the man, their bodies crashing against the nearby wall. Jungkook's fierce determination ignited a spark of hope in her, but fear gnawed at her gut.

The struggle intensified, and she could see the raw intensity in Jungkook's movements, his every strike fueled by a primal need to protect. But the attacker was relentless, and Y/N felt helpless as the violence unfolded before her eyes.

"Y/N, get back!" Jungkook shouted again, and his voice broke through her paralysis. Adrenaline coursed through her veins, igniting a fire of urgency. She had to do something—anything.

As Jungkook finally gained the upper hand, pinning the man to the ground, Y/N rushed forward, her heart racing. "What do you want with me?" she demanded, her voice shaking but filled with resolve.

The assailant glared up at her, rage boiling beneath his surface. "You think you can hide from me? You're a pawn in this game, and I will have you back," he spat, venomous and desperate.

"Enough!" Jungkook shouted, his fists clenched as he glared down at the man. "You will never come near her again."

With a final shove, Jungkook released the man, who scrambled to his feet, eyes blazing with fury. "This isn't over," he hissed before disappearing into the shadows, leaving Y/N trembling beside Jungkook.

"Are you okay?" she asked, her voice trembling as she reached out to touch his arm, her heart aching at the sight of the anger etched on his face.

"I'm fine," Jungkook replied, his tone fierce yet softening slightly as he glanced at her. "But we need to get out of here."

"What was that all about?" Y/N pressed, her mind racing with questions. The fear still lingered, thick and heavy in the air between them.

"That man is part of a dangerous world," Jungkook explained, his voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling in his eyes. "A world that's now entangled with ours. You need to trust me. We'll figure this out together."

As they hurried away from the scene, Y/N's heart pounded in her chest, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on her. This marriage was supposed to bring her security, yet it felt like it had opened the door to a realm of danger she had never imagined.
