Arranged marriage

✨Chapter 6✨

Y/N's world descended into chaos as the figure lunged toward them. Time seemed to slow, and every instinct within her screamed to retreat, to hide away from the impending danger. Jungkook's body was a wall of strength and protection in front of her, and for a fleeting moment, she felt a rush of gratitude that he was by her side. But that feeling quickly morphed into fear as she realized the intensity of the situation.

"Get back!" Jungkook shouted, his voice laced with urgency as he positioned himself defensively. The intruder, cloaked in shadows, hesitated for a brief second, sizing up the situation. Y/N could barely make out their features, but the glint of something metallic—a knife?—flashed in the dim light.

Before Y/N could react, Jungkook sprang into action. With a quick, practiced motion, he pushed the door wider and stepped into the dark night, the adrenaline coursing through his veins. "Y/N, stay inside!" he commanded, his voice firm but filled with a protective urgency.

Heart racing, Y/N clutched the doorframe, torn between fear for Jungkook and the instinct to stay put as he faced the unknown threat. She could barely see Jungkook as he squared off against the figure, but the tension in the air crackled with a palpable energy, like static before a storm.

"Who are you?" Jungkook demanded, his tone low but fierce. "What do you want?"

The intruder let out a chilling laugh that sent shivers down Y/N's spine. "You think you can hide forever, Jeon Jungkook? You're playing a dangerous game, and it's only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down on you," they sneered, their voice dripping with contempt.

Y/N felt a knot form in her stomach at the mention of Jungkook's name. The weight of their history and the darkness that surrounded it came rushing back, making her feel trapped in a nightmare. She glanced nervously around the cabin, searching for anything she could use as a weapon or a way to escape.

"Leave her out of this!" Jungkook shouted, his voice fierce, eyes narrowed as he took a step closer, unwilling to back down. "This is between you and me."

"Is it?" the figure taunted, taking a threatening step forward. "You've dragged her into this mess whether you like it or not. The family won't let you go, Jungkook. You know that."

The atmosphere thickened with tension, and Y/N felt her heart hammering against her ribcage. She wanted to scream, to pull Jungkook back, but the fear held her in place. She felt like a spectator in a horror film, paralyzed by the unfolding drama.

"What do you want?" Jungkook asked, his voice steady but a hint of desperation seeped through. "What will it take for you to leave us alone?"

"I just want a little fun," the figure replied, their eyes glinting with malice. "After all, you've put on quite the show, hiding away like a coward. But I'm here to show you that the past has a way of catching up."

Y/N's mind raced. What past were they referring to? What had Jungkook done to attract such dangerous attention? She felt a rush of anger and fear, the two emotions colliding within her. "Jungkook, we can't let them get to you!" she yelled, her voice trembling but filled with conviction. "We have to fight back!"

Jungkook's gaze flicked to her for a moment, and in that instant, she saw a glimmer of gratitude mingled with fear. "Stay back, Y/N! I'll handle this," he insisted, but she could hear the tension in his voice, the fear that perhaps he wasn't as invincible as he wanted to appear.

Before Y/N could respond, the figure lunged at Jungkook, a swift movement that sent a rush of adrenaline coursing through her veins. She watched in horror as Jungkook sidestepped, dodging the attack, and their struggle began. The sound of flesh meeting flesh echoed in the night air as Jungkook fought to keep the intruder at bay, his movements precise and powerful.

Y/N felt a surge of panic as she witnessed the raw power of their confrontation. She wanted to help, to do something, but fear paralyzed her. Instead, she glanced around the cabin desperately, seeking any object that could help her intervene. Her eyes fell on a heavy iron poker resting by the fireplace. Without thinking, she grabbed it, her heart pounding as she steeled herself for action.

As Jungkook continued to fend off the attacker, Y/N moved closer, gripping the poker tightly. "Get away from him!" she yelled, her voice shaking but determined. The intruder turned at the sound of her voice, their eyes narrowing as they locked onto her.

In that moment of distraction, Jungkook seized the opportunity. With a powerful shove, he pushed the intruder back, creating a small gap between them. "Y/N, now!" he shouted, urgency spilling from his words.

Y/N lunged forward, swinging the poker with all her might. The intruder barely managed to dodge, but the momentum sent them sprawling to the ground. Jungkook wasted no time, moving in to restrain the figure, his grip firm as he fought to hold them down.

"Help me!" he grunted, and Y/N rushed to his side, her heart racing as she pressed the poker against the intruder's neck. "What do you want?" she demanded, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and adrenaline.

The figure laughed, a chilling sound that sent shivers down her spine. "You think you can control this? You have no idea what you're getting into," they spat, a smirk playing at the corners of their lips despite their precarious position.

"What do you know about us?" Jungkook growled, his grip tightening as he wrestled to keep the intruder pinned. "What do you want?"

"Just a little chaos," the figure taunted, their eyes glinting with amusement. "Your little fairy tale is about to end, Jungkook. They won't let you go."

Suddenly, the cabin door burst open, and a gust of wind swept through, extinguishing the fire. The darkness enveloped them, plunging the scene into chaos. The intruder seized the opportunity, twisting away from Jungkook's grasp and sprinting into the night.

"Damn it!" Jungkook cursed, releasing his hold as he lunged after the shadowy figure. "Y/N, stay inside!" he shouted, but the urgency in his voice fueled her determination.

"I'm coming with you!" Y/N cried, following him into the night. The chill of the air hit her like a wave as they stepped outside, the moon casting an eerie glow over the forest surrounding the cabin.

They raced through the underbrush, the sounds of their footfalls muffled by the thick foliage. "Which way did they go?" Y/N asked, panic gripping her as she scanned the shadows for any sign of movement.

"Over there!" Jungkook pointed, his eyes sharp as he focused on a darker shape weaving through the trees. Without thinking, they both pushed forward, adrenaline coursing through their veins, the thrill of the chase blurring the lines between fear and determination.

But as they ran deeper into the woods, the sense of unease intensified. The shadows felt alive, closing in around them, and every snap of a twig sent Y/N's heart racing. "Jungkook!" she called, her breath heavy with exertion. "What if we lose them?"

"We won't," he replied, his voice steady but urgent. "We need to know what they know. We need to figure out what we're dealing with."

Just as they rounded a corner, a sudden crash echoed through the trees, and a massive figure appeared in front of them, blocking their path. It was another shadowy figure, larger and more imposing than the first. "Going somewhere?" the newcomer asked, a sinister grin spreading across their face.

Y/N's heart sank as dread filled her veins. She turned to Jungkook, whose expression hardened, the realization dawning that they had walked straight into a trap.

"Run!" Jungkook shouted, grabbing Y/N's hand and pulling her back the way they had come. But before they could escape, the new figure lunged at them, arms outstretched, ready to seize them.

In that moment of chaos, Y/N felt time slow again, the world around her blurring as the looming danger came closer. She clung to Jungkook, fear swirling within her like a storm as she braced herself for the confrontation.

"Hold on tight!" Jungkook shouted, adrenaline fueling his movements as they sprinted into the darkness, their hearts pounding in unison as the shadows closed in around them.
