Just A Few Numbers Away

Chapter 46

The Shield of a Soulmate

BREAKING NEW!!!

Min Yoongi, also known as SUGA of BTS, is expected to hold a live press briefing tonight according to Big Hit Entertainment.

The announcement follows a disturbing incident involving his soulmate earlier this afternoon.

According to Miss Aen's company, she had recently returned to work and had completed two weeks of service without incident.

However, while completing her final delivery to the building where Min Yoongi is currently assigned for his public service, she was intercepted.

Eyewitnesses report that four females in their early 20s surrounded her yogurt mobile and began a targeted physical and verbal harassment.

Luckily, Yoongi arrived on the scene and intervened, ensuring the individuals were detained by police.

Dispatch has since released several shocking photos of the confrontation.

​In interviews with netizens at the scene, one fan remarked: "I was in awe of Aen. Despite what those girls did, she stayed calm and composed. She didn't use any violence to retaliate."

An elderly bystander added, "Yoongi looked incredibly stressed and worried. It's clear he truly cares for her. This wasn't about a 'forced' system; it was about a man protecting the person he loves."

​Yoongi reached out and clicked the television off.

The room fell into a heavy silence.

After the chaos at the police station, Yoongi had been adamant that Aen not return to her own apartment that night.

He was still shaken by how vulnerable she had been, and the thought of her being in her apartment with Angel-even behind locked doors-made his chest tighten with anxiety.

He insisted she stay at his place, where his building's high-end security and his own presence could offer her the peace of mind she desperately needed.

Seeing her tucked safely onto his couch, surrounded by his things, was the only thing that had begun to ease the frantic rhythm of his heart.

"Aen-ah... stop watching the news."

Aen looked at him, her eyes reflecting the trauma of the afternoon.

She had expected him to be angry after witnessing firsthand what happened when she was harassed, but she never imagined he would take it this far.

"Do you really have to go through with a live briefing tonight?"

​Yoongi sat beside her on the couch, his presence grounding.

"Yes."

Aen frowned, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her shirt.

"You don't have to do this for me, Yoon. I'm actually content now that it's been reported to the police. The law is involved, and that's enough for me now that they've seen the consequences."

Yoongi went quiet for a moment, studying the way she tried to downplay her own pain just to keep the peace.

He knew her-she didn't want to be the center of a scandal, and she certainly didn't want him to carry the burden of her safety.

But as he looked at the bruise on her elbow, his resolve only hardened.

A police report was a paper trail, but a press briefing was a shield.
