The dinner went by pretty well. There wasn't any creepy things or whatsoever. They just ate in silence.

Yeonwoo noticed the bruises on Jungkook's neck, but being the heartless person she was, she didn't ask him about it. She didn't really care.

They were both now in Yeonwoo's room after they each took a bath. Jungkook didn't want to sleep on the same bed with his 'wife', but he was afraid that Mr. Kim would eventually kill him.

"Kim Yeonwoo," Jungkook called the girl who was sitting on the edge of the bed. He just finished his shower.

She tilted her head, looking at the man who was drying his wet hair. "Yes?"

"Do we have to sleep together? On the same bed?" Jungkook asked carefully.

"Yes."

"It's a must?" Jungkook asked again. Maybe if Yeonwoo had her own opinion, her father will let them sleep separately.

"Yes, my father said so."

"I mean, in your opinion. Do you think it's a must?"

"Yes, because my father said so."

Jungkook sighed. Again, there was no point of asking her.

"Okay," he replied softly before climbing up on the bed.

Yeonwoo did the same which made Jungkook scooted away from her. He was on the very edge of the bed. If someone pushed him a little, he would definitely fall for sure.

"Goodnight," Jungkook muttered, of course without facing her.

"Goodnight," she replied with a monotone voice.

It's been more than half an hour and Jungkook went to check on Yeonwoo if she had already fell asleep, and yes, she did.

Slowly, Jungkook got off the bed.

"There must be an extra blanket or something," he muttered while opening Yeonwoo's closet. He cringed when he saw all of her clothes were white colored, and all of them were dresses but with different styles.

"She doesn't have any other color other than white?" Jungkook mumbled before he continued to do what he was going to do in the first place.

He rummaged through the closet and searched for what he wanted. After a few minutes, he finally found it.

"There you go." He grabbed the blanket that was luckily thick enough, and spread it on the floor.

He took his pillow with him before laying down on the blanket and dozed off to sleep.

--

Slowly opening her eyes, Yeonwoo flinched due to the pain in her head. Every night after she drank the medicine that she MUST drink, the pain always came the next morning.

She couldn't restrain herself from yelping, which woke Jungkook up. She still hasn't realize that he was sleeping on the floor as she was too focused on massaging her temple.

"Wake up already?" Jungkook asked as he stood up.

Yeonwoo gasped as the tall figure suddenly popped out out of nowhere. She frowned. "You shocked me!"

"Oh you can get--" Jungkook paused his line when he remembered about what Yeonwoo's father had said. He was about to mock her if she could get shocked too but--

"What? You was about to ask me if I can get shocked too?" she asked, and Jungkook immediately shook his head aggresively.

"NO NO! THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. WHAT I MEANT IS--"

"For fcksake, Jungkook, I told you I'm not a fcking robot!" Yeonwoo snapped.

Jungkook blinked a few times.

Wait-- is this.. the Yeonwoo I know? How can she act so humanly right now?

"You--"

"Miss, breakfast is ready." Jungkook's line was cut-off by the knock on the door.

"Okay, wait a minute," she replied back, still with her sleepy attitude.

"Sorry, miss, but you have to hurry up, your father is waiting."

"I'm on my way."

Jungkook stared at her in disbelieve when her attitude changed in contrast after her maid mentioned her father.

She quickly made her hair into a messy bun and got up from her bed.

"Let's go," she said in hurry before going out of the room.

Jungkook was still in his confused state but decided to follow anyway since he didn't want to cause any problem.. yet.

---

"Everything going well, princess?" Mr. Kim asked while Yeonwoo was chewing her bread.

She nodded. "Yes, father."

"Good. How about your night with Jungkook?" he asked again, then a sly smile appeared on his face. "Is it hot?"

Jungkook who was also chewing his breakfast immediately choked hard on his bread. He coughed a few times before reaching the glass to drink.

However, Mr. Kim's hand reached the glass first and took it away from Jungkook. Jungkook's face was already red due to the pain in his chest.

"Why? You didn't expect that to come? How did you spend your night with my daughter, young man?" Mr. Kim interrogated.

Jungkook was still coughing, the food was stuck on his throat. He kept hitting his chest to reduce the pain.

Mr. Kim brought his face closet to Jungkook's. "Answer me?"

"I--I'm sorry, can you please give me back the water?" Jungkook pleaded.

"I'm asking you, how's your night with my daughter?" he asked again.

Jungkook glanced at Yeonwoo who was just staring blankly at them. He then adverted his gaze to Mr. Kim again. "Good."

Mr. Kim chuckled. "Good? Are you saying that sleeping on the floor because you didn't want to sleep beside my daughter is GOOD?"

Jungkook widened his eyes. "How did you--"

"Hey, young man. I have so many eyes around this house. I know every single thing you're doing," he whispered with a smirk.

Upon hearing that, Jungkook had goosebumps all over his body. This man was surely a psycopath.

Mr. Kim then went back to his position and took the glass that he took away from Jungkook. "You want water?"

Jungkook nodded with hesitation.

Mr. Kim stood up before pouring the water all over Jungkook's head. He threw the glass away and the broken pieces were scattered all over the floor.

"Enjoy your day," he whistled before disappearing behind the wall.

Jungkook growled as drops of water damped his face

'Sht. Fck it. I'm going out of this psycho's house.'
