"Someday, ask for my heart instead of my body."

----

Crazily driving the car through the Kingstons Private Property, the woman drove the vehicle at an insanely high speed.

Tears lashed through her chocolate brown orbs and obscured her vision which she cared less about. She wiped her tears by the back of her hand and continued steering until she was out of the private property because staying a minute more there, might've resulted in her losing her mind.

Jungkook's words meandered in her head like a whirlwind, "It's true that I don't like her."

For a moment she thought maybe her ears were doubling crossing her, it couldn't be true but... That tone, those words, and that expression...

It broke her inside out.

Was it really a pretence all this while?

Is her love this vulnerable?

She didn't inform anyone and hysterically drove out from there, ignoring the calls of everyone. She was aware that if she picked up the calls right now, she might have the worst breakdown and that'll result in a huge argument. She just wanted some alone time right now to collect her swirling thoughts.

As she was driving towards Itaewon, once again her phone buzzed with Jungkook's texts. She halted the vehicle on a secluded corner and replied to the text, just so that the continuous buzzing of her phone would leave her at solace.

'Is everything alright?! Why aren't you answering my calls? And why did you go alone?!' She read his text and sneered trying to decipher whether his 'worry' was genuine or a semblance.

'Nothing is alright.' She contemplated and with her blurred vision answered the text which said.

"I'm called for an urgent meeting. We'll talk later." She replied and switched off her device throwing it somewhere at the back of her car.

In all this time... Everything, their every memory, every struggle, every moment spent together, every promise made, and every affectionate effort from him...

Was a freaking lie!

Her breath hitched and it became hard for her to drive in such a condition, she blankly gaped at the front and nibbled her lips. Tears cascaded down her porcelain skin and she wailed whilst hitting the steering with her tightened fists.

"W-why?!"

"W-what d-did I do so w-wrong to d-deserve this?!" She murmured to herself, a flash of all the past memories lingering in her head.

The happy moments now appeared hazy and like a dream, maybe she was delusional enough to think that she deserved that happiness. Her thought process got ruptured by the betrayal, she didn't feel this shocked when there were several blood-curling revelations but this...

It broke her.

She was certain, that whatever happened her 'husband' would be there with her, isn't that what he meant when he said 'I like you, Min Y/N'? But the actuality of the situation was bitter, it was only now that the truth dawned upon her and it felt as if, a sharp metal had been jabbed, sliced and pierced through her heart multiple times.

She felt used.

Used and soon to be discarded.

Was all her efforts and all the support and love she gave to him, had this less worth?

"No, it wasn't even love to start with." She mumbled to herself, all sorts of negative thoughts and emotions swirling in her system.

With trembling hands, she pressed on the accelerator and drove her vehicle towards the location. It took her two hours to reach there, but those two hours felt like the most strenuous time of her life, feeling as if she was caught in a black hole and there was no escape.

She thought about all the times when he was so good to her, actually, when was he nasty?

He was so perfect that a wise woman like her didn't even realize in all this time his true intentions.

As she got out of the vehicle and walked inside the house, she emotionlessly sat on the couch trying to sink in everything that occurred.

She sat in the same position for hours and came to the conclusion that maybe, she misunderstood, there might be something that Jungkook wanted to talk about. She still had a small hope at the back of her mind that maybe...

Maybe all of this was an ominous dream.

And once it's the morning, she'll be waking up merrily in her husband's embrace.

But once again his words rang in her brain.

'Do you regret it...?'

'I like you, Min Y/N.'

The bond they created the previous night truly meant a lot to her making her certain that she was ready to spend her life with this man.

Then why did he say such harsh words?

'It's true that I don't like her.'

Once again, tears uncontrollably flowed through her eyes and she sobbed continuously, as she bent on her knees and hugged herself, crying herself to sleep.

----

As soon as Jungkook got to know about Y/N's whereabouts he instantly left Busan to back to Itaewon. He was worried, it wasn't a usual event for her to leave without notice.

Is she alright?

What was the important work?

And why is her device switched off?

All sorts of questions rang in his brain as he rushed home and swiftly opened the door with the password. He steadily turned on the lights and saw his wife sleeping in a very uncomfortable position on the couch.

His brows furrowed in perplexion, as he thought that she'd be at work but it was late at night, so maybe she returned. That's what he believed as he slowly made his way towards her sleeping figure.

He bent on his knee and stared at her sleeping peacefully, a small smile crept upon his face but it soon fell off as soon as it came, when he saw dried tear stains on her face.

"Is work that tiring, Y/N?" He murmured, asking her as if she was awake, and slowly caressed her face, brushing off the tear stain.

"Was it because of the incident of yesterday?" He asked again, wishing to know the reason why was she crying, totally unaware of the fact that...

He was the reason.

Steadily, he picked her up in his arms and made his way towards their shared bedroom, her head rested on his torso and her feeble breaths could be felt by him. With utmost care, he placed her on the mattress and stared at her peaceful figure for a moment– her long lashes resting on her skin, her pinkish lips parted a little that appeared so kissable.

'She's really beautiful.' He murmured, grinning softly at her figure and placing an affectionate peck on her forehead, before removing his shirt, revealing his bare upper body and sleeping beside her, not forgetting to pull the woman towards himself.

He possessively placed his veiny arm on her waist, his swift movement resulted in disrupting her sleep as she moved a little from the position, her brows furrowed but she was too tired and exhausted to open her eyes, once again dwelling into deep slumber.

"Why..." She mumbled in her sleep, as she snuggled into the crook of his neck, searching for an escape from her nightmare.

He didn't pay much attention to her words as they were way too disoriented and more of a 'sleep-talk' for him to understand and so, both of them indulged in their dreamland, forgetting all the pain for some moments.

But...

The misery he gave her was the worst of all.

----

Morning came up in the blink of an eye and the two figures found themselves profound in sleep. The male hugged the woman as if his life depended on it and the pressure of his arm resulted in making her slowly wake up from her sleep, as her eyes fluttered open.

In no time, she understood the situation as she gazed at the male's shirtless sleeping figure and his arm securely placed on her waist. Her reddened and puffy eyes instantly welled up with tears and she jerked off his hand, swiftly jolting up from her position but he once again, pulled her, this time back hugging her and snuggling into her neck like a bunny.

Yet, the emotional agitation inside her was far more heftier than the endearing actions she was experiencing and so, she jerked off his hand immediately, sprinting towards the washroom to do her morning routine.

The male too, got up from his sleep sensing her absence and his brows furrowed in perplexity, this was purely the first time she had pushed him away.

'What happened to her?' He pondered, scratching the back of his neck, observing everything with his doe eyed whilst looking at the closed door of the restroom where she had just gone.

He thought for a moment but soon, chose to ignore her actions thinking maybe she was late for work. Thinking of work, he realized he needed to rush too because the leaves officially got over the previous day and now, his schedule is completely packed for the week.

He jolted up from the bed and ran towards another room to complete his morning routine.

Half an hour later, the couple found themselves silently sitting in front of each other having their 'oatmeal' breakfast. The woman was too indulged in reading the files whilst sipping her coffee and the male was trying to decipher what was wrong. There were no morning greetings or kisses whatsoever and this was truly an alien feeling for him.

Little did he know, she was trying her best to avoid him at least for some time, his face made her feel broken, too vulnerable and she didn't wish to be weak. She hoped that maybe, it was all a misunderstanding and he might clear it.

But on the contrary, he was sitting all silent.

Sometimes, silence kills louder than words.

This silence was making him appear even more suspicious in her eyes.

"Y/N-" Just as he uttered her name, her device rang up and she picked up the call, the other side informed her about the meeting scheduled in about a couple of hours and that she must be present asap.

She hummed in response and cut the call, now gazing at the male and finally, opened her mouth to speak something.

"What?" She spoke out, sternly.

"Nothing, take care." He brushed off the topic and portrayed a small smile towards her. She internally rolled her eyes and picked up her belongings, soon rushing out of the house without speaking a word anymore.

----

A week passed by but the two of them appeared to be getting distant slowly. Jungkook was getting a hint of Y/N's feigning ignorance but he brushed it off thinking it was her work pressure and he too, was very busy with his own schedule at times coming home at midnight when he found her asleep.

They had minimal talks because even meeting at the breakfast table wasn't possible anymore as somehow, Y/N rushed to work before he even woke up, leaving him at a standstill.

But at night, no matter how late he was, he made sure to tuck her into bed and sleep alongside her. She was becoming his relaxing pill and the person, for whom he wished to return home but over time he was slowly starting to wonder...

'Why are we becoming so distant?'

He even talked with his members asking about their opinions but they just laughed it off saying "It must be work pressure, she isn't free you know!" And Jungkook mentally prepared himself, that certainly, the two of them have a nerve-wracking schedule and so, he should utilize even the littlest of time he has with her.

On the weekend he suddenly remembered it was Y/N's birthday on the coming Sunday and so, he must make it the best for her. Taking advice from his dear 'hyungs' he prepared everything according to the woman's liking.
