 Your P.O.V

When you woke up that morning Taehyung was gone.

You weren't surprised.

Allowing you to curl into his side whilst you slept was probably the most affection Taehyung would ever give and even though you shouldn't have allowed it to affect you so deeply, your body was warm from the contact.

You rolled out of bed and straightened out your nightgown. You decided that today you would visit with your sister, Soomi. You still weren't allowed outside without Taehyung, so you would only be allowed to see her in the comfort of your own home, but that didn't bother you too much.

As you drifted out into the hallway and made your way to the front room for breakfast, you were surprised when you saw Taehyung's study door slightly ajar. Curiosity got the better of you and you crept towards it.

"They've made it pretty clear who they're after, V."

Your husband was not alone. You recognised the voice of Min Yoongi.

"So what do you want us to do?" This came from Jungkook, "We've gone through every soldier we have at least four times. None of them is good enough for you."

"I want Hoseok." Taehyung's voice was firm, "He's the only person I trust."

"Hoseok has too many responsibilities to be your wife's personal bodyguard, V."

Your heart skipped. They were talking about you?

"You said it yourself, Yoongi. They're after her. I want her safe."

"We knew this was going to happen," Jungkook sighed heavily, "We knew that the moment you got married, she would become a target."

You suddenly felt sick. Was your life really that important to rival gangs?

"They consider her your weakness, V." Yoongi agreed with his friend, "This is why I tried to convince your father not to marry you off so soon."

"I would have had to marry her eventually."

"All of that is irrelevant right now," Jungkook sounded exasperated, "We just need to find her someone you trust, before things get worse."

You turned away from the door quickly, hurrying back towards your bedroom. You didn't really want to hear anymore.

Were things that bad? Were you a liability to Taehyung?

Suddenly you felt guilty. Though you knew it wasn't your fault, you wondered if life really would be easier for your husband without you around.

But behind the guilt you also felt a rush of warmth.

You tried to ignore it but you couldn't. Taehyung seemed determined upon keeping you safe. So determined, in fact, that he was willing to appoint Jung Hoseok - a member of Bangtan far above the rank of a bodyguard - to keep protect you.

It didn't matter what the reasoning for this was. The truth was that it brought a flush to your body and a skip to your heart. You knew that the closer you got to Taehyung, the more you found yourself yielding to his every whim.

And though you knew it was dangerous, you didn't care.

Was it really that bad to fall in love with your own husband?

Love.

The word circled your mind over and over again.

You shook your head and sighed heavily. You had to protect your heart. You had always been aware of the fact that Taehyung would never love you. Even though you found yourself drawn to him, you wanted to keep a clear head.
