Arranged marriage

✨Chapter 37✨

As the scuffle erupted in the narrow alleyway, adrenaline coursed through Y/N's veins, her instincts sharpening. The darkness that had shrouded their lives for so long threatened to overwhelm her, but she refused to let fear dictate her actions. She had come too far, and now was the moment to reclaim their lives from Minho's clutches.

Jungkook and Taehyung surged forward, their combined strength and determination igniting a fire within her. Y/N tightened her grip on the metal pipe, its cold surface grounding her as she took a step toward the man blocking their escape.

The air crackled with tension as the man smirked, ready to take them on. He looked confident, perhaps underestimating the fierce resolve burning within Y/N and her friends. They were tired of running, tired of being scared. This was their chance to fight back.

"Get out of our way!" Jungkook roared, stepping in front of Y/N, his posture protective yet fierce. There was something electric about his presence, a determination that ignited the courage within her.

The man laughed, a harsh, mocking sound that echoed off the alley walls. "You think you can take me on? You're outnumbered."

Y/N's heart raced, but she refused to let his words intimidate her. She exchanged a glance with Taehyung, who nodded in silent understanding. Together, they would face this challenge head-on.

Without hesitation, Jungkook lunged forward, his movements fluid as he aimed a punch at the man's jaw. The impact reverberated through the air, and the man staggered back, surprise etched on his face. It was a small victory, but it fueled Y/N's resolve.

Taking a deep breath, Y/N charged in beside Jungkook, swinging the pipe at the man. It connected with a sickening thud, and the man grunted in pain as he fell to the ground.

"Keep going!" Taehyung shouted, his voice fierce. He tackled another one of Minho's men, their bodies crashing together as they fought for dominance. The alley was a chaotic whirlwind of fists, desperation, and determination.

As Y/N glanced around, she could see more men emerging from the shadows, their eyes glinting with malice. They were outnumbered, and she could feel the tension rising. But there was a fire within her, a spark that refused to be extinguished.

"Jungkook!" she shouted, her voice cutting through the noise. "We have to get to the end of the alley! It's our only chance!"

He nodded, his jaw set in determination. "Follow me!"

They fought their way through the throng, hearts racing as they pushed toward the alley's end. Each swing of the pipe felt liberating, a release of all the pent-up fear and frustration they had endured. But the men were relentless, and the weight of the situation loomed heavy in the air.

Suddenly, one of Minho's men lunged at Jungkook, tackling him to the ground. Y/N's heart dropped as she watched Jungkook grapple with the man, their bodies rolling on the ground in a flurry of limbs. She felt a surge of panic, and without thinking, she rushed forward, determined to help him.

"Get off him!" she yelled, swinging the pipe with all her might. It connected with the man's back, and he howled in pain, releasing Jungkook and turning his attention toward her.

"Stupid girl!" he spat, anger flashing in his eyes.

Y/N's breath hitched as she prepared for his retaliation, but before he could lunge at her, Taehyung intervened, grabbing the man's arm and twisting it behind his back. With a swift movement, he brought him to the ground, pinning him down.

"Now, let's go!" Taehyung urged, helping Jungkook back to his feet. They didn't have time to waste; they needed to escape before more men arrived.

With adrenaline propelling them forward, they sprinted toward the alley's exit. Y/N felt her heart pound in her chest, fear and exhilaration mingling as they burst onto the main street. The bright lights of the city felt like a breath of fresh air, but they couldn't let their guard down. Minho's men were relentless.

"Which way?" Taehyung asked, scanning the busy street. People were milling about, blissfully unaware of the chaos that had just unfolded in the shadows.

"Over there!" Jungkook shouted, pointing to a bus stop down the street. "We can catch a bus and blend in with the crowd!"

Y/N nodded, her legs pumping as they dashed toward the stop. The seconds felt like hours as they sprinted, the sounds of the city drowning out their labored breaths. They reached the bus stop just as the headlights of a bus illuminated the darkness.

"Go! Go!" Jungkook urged, shoving Y/N and Taehyung toward the door as the bus came to a stop. They climbed on, heart racing as the doors closed behind them, sealing them away from the chaos.

Inside the bus, Y/N felt a momentary wave of relief wash over her. They had escaped, at least for now. She glanced at Jungkook, who was catching his breath, his expression a mix of exhaustion and fierce determination.

"We need to keep a low profile," Taehyung reminded them, his eyes darting around the bus. "They could still be looking for us."

Y/N nodded, her heart still racing from the adrenaline of the fight. She felt a strange sense of camaraderie with Jungkook and Taehyung, their shared experience forging a bond that was stronger than ever.

As the bus lurched forward, she leaned back in her seat, her mind racing. What would Minho do when he discovered they had escaped? The thought sent a chill down her spine. But for now, they had bought themselves some time.

"I can't believe we just fought them," she said, shaking her head in disbelief. "What if they find us?"

"They won't," Jungkook said, his voice steady. "We'll find a safe place, regroup, and come up with a plan. They can't keep us in the dark forever."

Taehyung nodded, his gaze focused. "We need to stay connected, keep each other informed. Minho might be ruthless, but we have each other."

As the bus traveled deeper into the city, Y/N felt the weight of the world lift slightly off her shoulders. They had survived, but the danger was far from over. The uncertainty hung in the air, thick and suffocating.

But she refused to give in to fear. They had fought back, and for the first time, she felt a glimmer of hope. They were not helpless victims; they were fighters, ready to reclaim their lives.

"Where should we go?" Y/N asked, breaking the silence that had settled between them.

"We need to find somewhere safe," Jungkook replied, his expression thoughtful. "A place where we can lay low for a bit."

"I know a place," Taehyung chimed in, a determined glint in his eyes. "A friend of mine has a safe house nearby. We can rest there and come up with a plan."

"Let's do it," Jungkook said, his tone resolute.

As the bus continued its journey, Y/N felt a sense of determination swelling within her. They were a team now, bound together by their shared experiences. Whatever Minho had planned for them, she knew they would face it together.

But as the bus turned onto a quieter street, a feeling of unease settled over her. The night was still alive with danger, and they couldn't afford to let their guard down. They had to stay vigilant.

"Stay close," Jungkook said, his voice low as the bus came to a stop. "We don't know who's watching."

Y/N nodded, her heart racing as they disembarked. They were on a mission now, and every second counted.
