Arranged marriage

✨Chapter 36✨

She glanced at Jungkook, whose face was set in a grim line. His expression was focused, his determination palpable. He was ready to fight, ready to protect her at all costs. The connection between them was undeniable, a thread woven through fear and uncertainty that pulled them together, even in the darkest of moments.

"Stay here," Jungkook whispered, leaning closer to her. "I'm going to distract them."

"What?" Y/N exclaimed, her voice barely above a whisper. "You can't! That's too dangerous!"

Jungkook's gaze locked onto hers, and for a moment, everything else faded away. "Trust me. I won't let them get you. Just stay hidden."

Before she could protest further, Jungkook slipped away into the shadows, moving with the stealth of a predator. Y/N's heart raced as she watched him go, fear clawing at her throat. She wanted to shout after him, to tell him to come back, but she knew that doing so could give away their position.

Taehyung crouched beside her, his expression serious. "We need to stay out of sight. If they find us—"

Y/N nodded, her eyes glued to the scene unfolding before her. Jungkook had reached the edge of the alley and was now standing in the street, his posture relaxed, but Y/N could see the tension in his body. He was ready to spring into action at any moment.

"Hey!" Jungkook called out, his voice ringing through the air. "Looking for someone?"

Y/N gasped, her hands flying to her mouth. He was putting himself in danger! The men turned, their eyes narrowing as they zeroed in on him.

"Jungkook, no!" Y/N whispered, her heart racing as the men approached.

"Stay back!" one of them shouted, advancing toward Jungkook. "Where is she?"

Jungkook smirked, confidence radiating from him as he stood his ground. "You're not getting her. Not tonight."

Y/N's stomach twisted as she watched the confrontation unfold. Jungkook was playing a dangerous game, and her heart was in her throat. The men were closing in, their faces hardening as they approached.

"Get him!" one of the men shouted, and before she could process what was happening, they lunged at Jungkook.

"No!" Y/N screamed, her voice cracking with fear. But Taehyung pulled her back, his grip strong and steady. "We have to wait! We can't go out there!"

Y/N felt the panic rising within her, a frantic urge to help Jungkook, but Taehyung's calm demeanor reminded her that rushing in would only make things worse. They needed a plan.

But the sound of fists colliding with flesh echoed through the street, and Y/N's heart sank. She could see Jungkook fighting, his movements fluid and powerful, but there were too many of them. The adrenaline surged through her veins, and she knew she had to do something.

"Taehyung," she said urgently, her voice low but fierce, "we can't just sit here. We have to help him!"

Taehyung hesitated for a moment, his eyes darting between the brawl and Y/N's pleading expression. Finally, he nodded. "Okay, but we have to be smart about this."

They edged closer to the street, staying in the shadows as they watched the chaos unfold. Jungkook was holding his own, but the odds were against him. He was outnumbered, and it was only a matter of time before they overpowered him.

Y/N's breath caught as she saw Jungkook stumble, one of the men landing a blow to his midsection. The force of the hit knocked him back, but he quickly regained his footing, determination etched on his face.

"Now!" Taehyung commanded, and without thinking, Y/N sprang into action. They rushed forward, their hearts pounding in unison as they closed the distance between themselves and the fight.

"Jungkook!" Y/N shouted, hoping to distract the men long enough for him to regroup.

The moment her voice pierced through the chaos, Jungkook's head snapped in their direction, his eyes widening in surprise. "Y/N! Get back!"

But there was no time to retreat. Taehyung rushed into the fray, tackling one of the men to the ground, while Y/N focused on Jungkook, her heart racing with fear and adrenaline. She couldn't let him fight alone.

She picked up a nearby metal pipe, her hands trembling as she swung it toward the nearest man. The impact connected with a sickening thud, and the man stumbled back in surprise.

"Y/N, what are you doing?" Jungkook shouted, astonished by her boldness.

"I'm helping!" she yelled back, adrenaline pumping through her veins. The fight intensified, fists flying and bodies colliding as they battled against the odds.

But the tide was turning. More men began to swarm, and Y/N felt the weight of fear settling in her stomach. They couldn't keep this up forever, and soon they would be overwhelmed.

"Back to the alley!" Taehyung shouted, his voice cutting through the chaos. He pushed through the crowd, shoving men aside as he fought his way back toward safety.

Y/N and Jungkook followed his lead, scrambling back into the alley, their hearts pounding. But just as they thought they'd escaped, one of the men emerged from the shadows, blocking their path.

"Where do you think you're going?" he sneered, taking a step forward.

In that moment, Y/N felt a surge of anger and fear. They had come too far to let Minho's men win. She glanced at Jungkook, who was breathing heavily, determination burning in his eyes.

"Together," he said, and she nodded, ready to face whatever came next.

With a fierce battle cry, they charged forward, a united front against the darkness that threatened to consume them. It was now or never, and Y/N was determined to fight for their freedom, no matter the cost.
