||COLD HEART||

"After the marriage, everyone left the party one by one, and some relatives from Jeon's family approached them to offer congratulations. Some questioned why it had happened so quickly, and why the girl was from a middle-class family."

JK'S POV

"I stared at Ria, who kept her gaze fixed on the floor. She kept her head down and refused to look up. I approached her to get a better look, but someone suddenly pulled me back."

"Don't eat her. She is already in fear. Jungkook..."

I repulsed Jimin's hand from my arm and gave a death glare.

"I think your parents knew about her."

"About what?" I asked.

"The news about YN is that she is still alive."

"What? Impossible. They still think she's dead. How is that possible?"

Ria: Jungkook, I want to go home.

I stood there in confusion; if my parents learned that she was YN, they would be.... "Woahh."

Ria: Huh? I said I want to go home.

JK: Baby, you're going to step into my mansion.. How about with a blast?

"JIMIN: No, Jungkook!!" Not now....We have to speak with our boss.

JK chuckled evilly.

"GO. A chauffeur will pick you up outside," I said.

"I want to go to my house, JK."

I was trying my best to be kind to her, but it seems like she wants me to yell at her.

"Leave!! I'll come later. I have to meet someone."

It's a forced marriage, but I have no intention to make her scared of me.

As I saw her leaving and entering the car, I phoned Yoongi

End of JK's POV

Ria, who sat in the car, looked outside and saw JUNGKOOK leaving the place. She told the driver to stop and got out.

"Ma'am- "

"I'll use the restroom. Can you please wait?" She closed the door and walked towards the restroom. She started turning back and forth to check whether someone was following her.

From the restroom, she saw a door leading to the backyard and jumped over the short wall. Although Ria felt uncomfortable jumping in her heavy dress, she managed to do it. She looked around and saw that there was no one outside. She felt a bit safe now and thought of running away.

"Is this going to be okay? Where will I go now? I can't depend upon my dad. My friend. Obviously, he will search that place. I can't go to college either. Why does my life always end up like this?"

Ria started walking wearing that heavy dress, always watching her back. She ended up on the main road, standing near the Han River.

She couldn't walk anymore and sat on the pathway. "Die!!" The word started echoing inside...its better than to live such a shitlife.

"She stood up, stumbling, and climbed onto the bridge." The wind was blowing fast, and the everlasting moon stood there witnessing her pains. "Love you, pa." She fainted and was about to fall down from the bridge. But a hand dragged her and made her fall to the floor. Ria fell upon that person, and she lost her consciousness.

Ria's POV

"Go away, Yan," said a young boy.

"I want you, and also him," Ria was shouting. She was a fifteen-year-old girl then.

"You've no right to be with him. He is my brother."

"Bunny..." Someone pushed her away, and she fell in the road.

A truck came near her, and she closed her eyes tightly.

End of Ria's POV

Some scenes started crossing her mind. It felt like déjà vu, but it was a piece of puzzle in which she was lost in an accident.

She lay in the hands of that person. "Taehyung...." She closed her eyes slowly and went unconscious.

The place was sooner surrounded by black cars, and it circled the place where Ria was lying.

Bodyguards started surrounding him with a gun. To protect Ria, Tae hugged her in his arms and closed his eyes, whispering, "Everything will be alright, Ria."...in her ears.

A man with black leather boots stepped outside from the car.

It started to rain suddenly. A guy came to catch an umbrella for JK.

"No need"

He went towards Ria and dragged the boy's collar, who was hugging Ria tightly.

He was about to give a punch in his face but stopped after looking at the familiar face.

"Tae...Taehyung....Hyeong?"

Tae looked at JK and chuckled lightly. "You still didn't stop this habit...to make others hurt."

Jungkook was lost in his words—he can't utter a word, and anger rushed in his vein.

He punched Tae's face and grabbed his collar to recheck whether he is really his twin brother or he misunderstood someone else.

He pulled his hair out with his own hands. And shook his head as it was not possible.

Taehyung spat the blood and asked, "Why? Are you scared? That I'm alive?"

Jungkook sat on his knees and covered his head with his hands. He stood and went near Tae to ask, "Hyeong, you are alive. Am I dreaming?" He pinched his hands and hissed in pain, "Ouch... no, you're alive. But why? How is it possible? We burned you before our eyes. We got your ashes. How is it?"

"Possible?" interrupted Tae.

"Is she your fiancé or wife?"

Jungkook realized that Ria was also lying down, dozing off.

He took her in his arms, in bridal style, and told Tae to hook up on the car. He refused, as he doesn't want to meet his parents.

JK signaled his guards to drag him in the car.

"Leave me. I told you to leave." Tae shouted. They beat on his shoulder, and he too lost his consciousness.

JK's POV

I had Taehyung knocked down in my underground room. It's a place where I use my enemies to surrender to me.

"Waked? Huh?"

I poured a glass of water in his face.

"So you are saying you are Taehyung.. and you want me to believe it?"

"Jungkook... i didn't say am Tae... it's your who is protesting...." he shook his body, trying to remove the rope.

"Then, you are not... then, the face... it looks just like him... my twin brother. No, no way. How come I don't know whether my brother is alive or dead?"

I started broking the things near him and started shouting.

"No way..." he said and sat on the chair.

I noticed my phone ringing, and I took a look to see the ID; it's Jimin.

"hmm?"

"Ria is alright; Jin told me she has inadequate nutrients and a disrupted metabolism as she didn't consume her meals properly."

"I'll be back.Ahh, Jimin.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing. You go home; I'll take care of her."

"But Jungkook...she keeps on saying a word."

"What?" JK asked, looking at Tae.

"Bunny... I think she wants a rabbit... OK, JK, take care of my sister-in-law. I'm a bit tired too.

I placed the phone on the table and bent down towards Tae.

"U knew right? That she is YN. And you were the reason that she lost her memory.....?"

Tae gave a smirk and sprained his neck. "I knew something more than that, brother"

"Don't tell me that you were near her all this time, you jerk" I tried my best not to beat him, but ended up breaking the mirror.

"Hyeong, am soo happy right now to see u alive...but u know what, right now i can kill anyone.....ANYONE. JUST. FOR. THAT. GIRL. Understood?"

Tae looked as if he was not surprised by my words and replied " I've seen u grew....grew like a shit before my eyes and its also because of your lovable parents. Don't you think they doesn't care about you....it looks like they care but brother they don't give a shit about you....so look after yourself....than to watch HER."

I throwed the glass in my hand and took the phone, "I'll send a maid, tell her what you want to eat or you can just shut if u don't want", as i said that i slammed the door to close.

There was a scanner to print my finger, only the VIP guards and i can use that scanner.

An escalator showed up as i walked in, i pressed 4 and it went up. I went to my room, and noticed her taking a silent nap..as if there is no tomorrow.

"Should I wake her up or let her sleep?" These were the thoughts racing through my mind." were the thoughts going inside me. I moved closer and noticed a mole beneath her lips. It was the only mark that confirmed she was YN. I touched her closed eyes and felt her soft, tender skin. She let out a soft sound, grabbed my hand, and settled back to sleep.

End of JK's POV

Ria's POV

It's morning, 8:00.

I woke to a warm sensation nearby. Having never shared my bed with anyone before, I could feel someone's presence. A face, still drawn with sleep, came into view. I sat in the bed. I turned slightly to see who it was, rubbing my eyes as I pulled the blanket away.

The reality of the situation hit me like a wave. "No way. What the hell did I just witness?"

I turned to look again. JEON. JUNGKOOK? I screamed internally. I checked my clothes and the surroundings. My dress? My wedding dress is gone. I grabbed my hair in anger and stood up from the bed.

I could see JK beginning to stir.

"If he wakes up... it'll be even more awkward," I thought, trying to walk on my toes and grabbing the blanket for support.

I hadn't even taken a step when the blanket was yanked, and I found myself back in bed.

"Sleep a little longer, babygirl... after all, it's our first night," he mumbled, eyes still closed.

I tried to push his arm...but his biceps...it was too strong.

"Ju... Jun... Jungkook! How did I..."

Yeah, how did I end up here? I had been at my breaking point when a hand grabbed me. After that....

"Jungkook, who brought me here?"

"It was me," he said, his tone suddenly harsh.

"I didn't try to..." I can't speak as his grip started getting tight in my throat. I chocked and tried to remove his hands.

"I don't want you to leave, Yn. Please don't."

YN? I remember the dream last night... (his grip started to loosen).

"Who is Yn?"

"Ah...did I say YN? Get ready, Ria. We've got family breakfast in my house." as he said that he took away the blanket from me and took his arms off me.

"Also, your dress—I mean, that wedding dress—the nurse changed it. There was a moment of silence, and JK broke it by saying, You had inadequate nutrition. I mean, is it an age to get malnutrition? I told the maid to prepare chocolate mix...drink it before we leave."

"Wait...JK, who told you to take and come me here? I guess I told you I want to go see my home."

"Then, why the hell did you try to attempt suicide? HUH?!!!!" he shouted, grabbing Ria's shoulder.

"Ahh, Jungkook...it hurts."

"Listen,'I'm your husband, and you, my dear wife, if I find you disobeying me, you've got to witness my terrible side that will make you beg to stop... so I guess you can grasp it."

End of Ria's POV

He who clutches the essence of life and she who is too delicate to grasp the terror of it. Taehyung, whose return was nothing more than a fleeting shadow—will this end descend into darkness or salvation?
