Married to Mafia

Chapter 3: A Growing Connection

[Scene: Rooftop of Y/N's College Building - Late at Night]

(Y/N is sitting alone on the rooftop, gazing at the stars, lost in thought. She often sneaks up here when she needs to escape from everything – the expectations, the secrets, and the protectiveness of her brothers. Jungkook, who had noticed her heading this way, steps out onto the rooftop quietly. He watches her for a moment before speaking.)

[Jungkook]: Didn't think I'd find you up here this late.

(Y/N jumps slightly, turning to see him. She frowns but quickly tries to mask her surprise.)

[Y/N]: Jungkook... you scared me. What are you doing here?

[Jungkook]: (smiling slightly) Couldn't sleep. Thought some fresh air might help.

(He walks over and sits beside her on the ledge. They sit in silence for a moment, watching the city lights twinkling below them.)

[Y/N]: (softly) I come up here sometimes when I need to... just breathe.

[Jungkook]: (glancing at her) Got a lot on your mind?

[Y/N]: (nodding) You could say that. Life gets... complicated.

[Jungkook]: Tell me about it. Complicated is practically my middle name.

(He chuckles bitterly, and Y/N looks at him curiously, sensing there's more behind his words.)

[Y/N]: (hesitantly) I don't know much about your life. Just rumors, really.

[Jungkook]: (sighing) Most of those rumors are probably true. It's not exactly an easy life.

(Y/N looks at him, sensing the weight behind his words.)

[Y/N]: (softly) Then... why do you do it?

[Jungkook]: (pauses, looking away) I don't really have a choice. It's been my life as long as I can remember. People depend on me... and I can't let them down.

[Y/N]: (nodding slowly) That sounds... really lonely.

[Jungkook]: (surprised) Lonely?

[Y/N]: (meeting his gaze) You're always surrounded by people, but it must be hard not having anyone you can trust completely.

(Jungkook blinks, surprised by her insight. He chuckles, though it sounds more sad than amused.)

[Jungkook]: (murmuring) You're right. I don't trust easily. Not anymore.

(They fall into silence again, both lost in thought. Y/N hesitates before speaking, her voice soft.)

[Y/N]: Sometimes... I wonder what life would be like if things were different.

[Jungkook]: Different how?

[Y/N]: (shrugs) Simpler. If I didn't have to hide who I am or constantly worry about what people think or what they might find out.

[Jungkook]: (curious) What do you want to be? If you could be anyone, I mean.

[Y/N]: (smiling a little) I think... maybe a writer. I like the idea of creating my own stories, my own worlds where things can be however I want them to be.

[Jungkook]: (genuine) That sounds... peaceful. A world where you're in control.

[Y/N]: (nodding) Exactly. It's like an escape from everything else.

(Jungkook stares at her thoughtfully, realizing he's never seen this side of her. Her sincerity, her simplicity, and her dreams feel refreshing – so different from the harsh reality he's used to.)

[Jungkook]: (softly) You're... different from anyone I've met.

[Y/N]: (smiling shyly) Different how?

[Jungkook]: (struggling to find the words) You're just... you. You don't pretend to be something you're not. It's... rare.

(Y/N blushes, looking away, and they fall silent again, comfortable in each other's presence. For a moment, Jungkook lets his guard down and simply enjoys the peace.)

[Jungkook]: (after a pause) Do you ever think about leaving? Just... walking away from it all?

[Y/N]: (surprised) Leaving?

[Jungkook]: (nodding) Sometimes, I wonder what life would be like if I wasn't... if I wasn't who I am. If I could just be normal, like everyone else.

[Y/N]: (looking at him sympathetically) You'd still be you, Jungkook. You're not defined by what you do. There's more to you than... (hesitates) than being the leader of a Mafia.

[Jungkook]: (staring at her) You really believe that?

[Y/N]: (smiling) Yeah, I do.

(Jungkook is taken aback by her words, feeling a sense of warmth he hasn't felt in a long time. He realizes that Y/N sees him as more than his title, more than the reputation that precedes him.)

[Jungkook]: (softly) You're strange, you know that?

[Y/N]: (laughs) Strange?

[Jungkook]: Yeah. In a good way.

(They share a smile, and for a moment, everything else fades away. Y/N feels a growing connection between them, something unspoken but undeniable. They're two people from very different worlds, but for a moment, that doesn't seem to matter.)

[Y/N]: (whispering) I wish things didn't have to be so complicated.

[Jungkook]: (nodding) Me too.

(He hesitates, then reaches out, gently taking her hand in his. Y/N looks down, surprised but doesn't pull away.)

[Jungkook]: (seriously) I don't know what this is, but... I don't want it to end.

[Y/N]: (looking up at him, her voice soft) Neither do I.

(They sit there, hand in hand, finding solace in each other. In that moment, they both feel a sense of peace and connection they haven't felt before.)

[Jungkook]: (smiling) Guess you've managed to get under my skin, Kim Y/N.

[Y/N]: (teasing) Guess I'm better at hiding than you thought.

(Jungkook chuckles, and they sit together in the quiet, knowing that despite the warnings, despite the dangers, this connection between them has become something neither of them can ignore.)
