Arranged marriage

✨Chapter 49✨

The silence of the police station contrasted sharply with the intensity of their emotions. Y/N, Jungkook, and Taehyung stood by Jisoo's side as she recounted everything to the officers—how Minho had shown up at her doorstep, the threats he'd made, and her fear of what he might do next. As Y/N listened, her heart clenched. Minho's return felt like a nightmare come to life, a ghost from her past that she had hoped to bury for good.

But she wasn't that scared, powerless girl anymore. This time, she knew what to do.

"Is there any way to ensure Jisoo's safety?" Y/N asked, her voice steady though her heart pounded in her chest. She glanced at Jisoo, who was sitting beside her, pale and trembling. "She can't go back to her apartment until you've caught him."

The officer, an older man with kind eyes, nodded. "We'll arrange for a safe place for Jisoo to stay until we can track him down. We'll also issue a restraining order and put out an alert. Minho won't get close to her."

Hearing those words brought Y/N a small sense of relief, but she knew better than to let her guard down. Minho was cunning, and if there was anything she had learned from her own experience, it was that people like him didn't give up easily.

As they left the station, Jisoo clung to Y/N, her voice shaking. "I don't understand how he found me. I thought I was safe..."

Y/N wrapped an arm around her, offering the comfort she herself had needed so many times before. "You are safe now. We won't let him hurt you again, Jisoo. We'll do whatever it takes to protect you."

Jungkook and Taehyung, ever the steady presences, flanked Y/N and Jisoo as they walked toward their car. The night air was cool, and the weight of the situation hung over them like a thick fog. But even in the midst of this new crisis, there was a strength that bound them together—a determination to stand up to the darkness that threatened their lives.

Once they arrived at the temporary safe house that the police had arranged for Jisoo, Y/N helped her settle in. The room was small but cozy, with a bed by the window and a small kitchenette in the corner. Jisoo sat on the bed, still shaking from the adrenaline coursing through her veins.

"Thank you, Y/N," she whispered, tears brimming in her eyes. "I don't know what I would've done without you."

Y/N sat beside her, taking her hand in a firm but gentle grip. "You're not alone anymore. You have us now. And we won't let him control your life, Jisoo. You deserve so much better."

Jungkook and Taehyung stood by the door, their expressions serious. Jungkook leaned against the frame, his voice low but resolute. "We'll be here for you, whatever you need. If Minho shows his face again, we'll make sure he's caught."

Jisoo nodded, her shoulders relaxing slightly as she realized she had a support system around her now. For the first time in days, she felt a glimmer of hope.

The next few days passed in a blur of tension and vigilance. Y/N couldn't shake the feeling that Minho was lurking somewhere nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike. It was a constant weight on her chest, an ever-present reminder of the danger that still loomed over them.

But in the midst of it all, Y/N refused to let fear dictate her life. She continued to hold her workshops, supporting others who had faced similar struggles. Each session was a reminder that no matter how dark things got, there was always a way out.

Jisoo attended the workshops too, slowly regaining her confidence. She began sharing her story with the group, finding solace in the empathy of those who had walked the same path. Watching Jisoo's transformation filled Y/N with a sense of pride. She had been where Jisoo was, and now she was helping someone else find their way to safety and healing.

One afternoon, as Y/N and Taehyung were preparing for another session, Jungkook burst into the room, his expression urgent. "I just got a call from the police," he said, his voice tight with tension. "They've spotted Minho near the safe house."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat. "What? Is Jisoo okay?"

"They've moved her to another location for her safety," Jungkook explained, pulling out his phone to check for updates. "But Minho's on the move. They're trying to track him down now."

Fear gripped Y/N, but it was quickly followed by a surge of determination. "We need to do something. We can't let him keep terrorizing her."

Taehyung stepped forward, his calm demeanor hiding the worry in his eyes. "We will. The police are handling it, and they'll catch him. But we need to make sure Jisoo stays safe in the meantime."

Y/N nodded, her mind racing. "I'll go to her. She needs to know she's not alone."

Within minutes, Y/N, Jungkook, and Taehyung were on their way to the new safe house where Jisoo had been relocated. The drive was tense, the silence heavy with unspoken fears. But Y/N refused to let the anxiety consume her. She had come too far, fought too hard, to let Minho win now.

When they arrived at the safe house, they were greeted by an officer who assured them that Jisoo was safe inside. But as Y/N stepped through the door and saw Jisoo sitting on the couch, her face pale and her hands trembling, she knew that safety wasn't just about physical protection. It was about feeling secure, about knowing that the people around you would stand by your side no matter what.

Y/N crossed the room and sat beside Jisoo, her voice gentle. "Hey. How are you holding up?"

Jisoo looked up at her, tears brimming in her eyes. "I'm so scared, Y/N. What if he finds me? What if he...?"

Y/N took her hand, squeezing it reassuringly. "He won't. We're going to make sure of that."

Jungkook and Taehyung sat down across from them, their presence solid and comforting. Jungkook leaned forward, his expression serious but kind. "We've got you, Jisoo. You don't have to face this alone."

For the next few hours, they sat together, talking, sharing stories, and reminding Jisoo that she wasn't alone. As the evening wore on, the tension slowly began to ease. Laughter replaced fear, and for the first time in days, Jisoo smiled—a real, genuine smile.

But even as they found comfort in each other's company, Y/N knew that the battle wasn't over. Minho was still out there, and until he was caught, the threat would remain.

Days turned into weeks, and the search for Minho continued. Y/N, Jungkook, and Taehyung stayed vigilant, always ready to jump into action if needed. The workshops continued, offering solace and strength to those who attended, and Jisoo slowly began to rebuild her life.

One evening, as Y/N sat in her apartment, reflecting on everything that had happened, she received a call from the police. Her heart raced as she answered, bracing herself for whatever news they had.

"Y/N, we've found him," the officer said, his voice steady. "Minho has been arrested."

Relief flooded through Y/N, a wave of emotion crashing over her. "Thank you," she whispered, tears of gratitude welling in her eyes.

As she hung up the phone, Y/N felt a sense of closure she hadn't expected. Minho was finally behind bars, and the darkness that had haunted her and Jisoo was beginning to lift.

That night, as she sat with Jungkook and Taehyung on the rooftop, watching the stars twinkle in the sky, Y/N felt a profound sense of peace. The journey had been long and painful, but they had made it through together. And as they sat there, bathed in the soft glow of the night, Y/N knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them as they always had—together, with love, strength, and unwavering support.

The darkness no longer held power over them. They had reclaimed their lives, their hope, and their future.
