"Really?"

"Yes. I joined BBC News because of Namjoon." Jungkook repeated for the second time.

"To keep an eye on him?" You guessed, entering Yoongi's room. Jungkook had asked if you wanted to see the hacker's room and who were you to say no?

"Woah. This is really...messy." You said, taking a good look in all directions.

Jungkook chuckled and then decided to answer your previous question. "Yes, it was to keep an eye on Namjoon. Yoongi told me the CEO was seen near the lake my dad's body was found in. We tried to dig in but found nothing. It was probably a coincidence." Jungkook shrugged and left Yoongi's room to enter his own on the opposite side. You followed him, nodding at his explanation.

"Now I know why you never looked determined when it came to work." You joked at which Jungkook rolled his eyes. "You must have regretted joining BBC News at some point, no? I mean you didn't get what you were looking for in the first place." You walked towards the glass wall. For some reason, it always pulled you towards it.

"Nope." Jungkook's voice came from behind, as he slid his hands around your waist and placed his chin on your shoulder. "I didn't regret one moment. After all, joining that company led me to you." He said, kissing you on the temple.

You leaned back in his comfortable embrace, smiling involuntarily. "I didn't take Black Knight for the cheesy boyfriend type."

"Don't pretend like you don't like it." Jungkook placed another kiss on your cheek making you giggle.

"Oh no. I like everything about him." You expressed.

"Hold on. Who do you like more? Black Knight or me?" Jungkook knitted his brows in confusion.

"Black Knight of course." You deadpanned. "He was the one who caught my attention first. Remember?"

"That fucker." Jungkook tightened his grip around you. "Should I be jealous of him?"

"Jungkook, stop. You or Black Knight... it's the same thing." You laughed, turning around in his arms. Cupping his cheeks, you confessed. "I like him cause he's a part of you."

"You should really stop saying things like that if you don't want to be stuck with me forever."

"What if that's the plan?" You retorted.

"God I like you so much." Jungkook declared before leaning down and kissing you as if wanting to prove what he had just said. You smiled in the kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck. He pulled you impossibly closer before deepening the kiss.

You pulled back first since it seemed like Jungkook was planning on kissing you forever. Catching your breath, you spoke, "I should probably go."

"Hm. You should." He said but betrayed his statement by leaning in for another kiss.

"Jungkook, stop." You giggled, putting a finger on his lips. "I really should go now. It's getting late. I'll miss the bus."

"Yeah right." He said, pulling himself back and scratching his neck.

------

Munching on your sandwich the next morning, you read a text from Jimin asking if you'd like to meet him in a nearby cafe from the workplace. You quickly texted a 'sure' and sat up to get ready.

Tying your shoe lace, your closed the apartment door. Just then, you recieved a call. A smile made it's way on your lips as you picked up the call.

"Hello, sunshine." Jungkook's voice was heard from the other side. "Did you sleep well?"

You ignored the way your heart skipped a beat at the pet name and answered his question. "Yes. No nightmares, surprisingly."

"That's a relief." He remarked. "What are you doing right now?" He then asked.

"On my way to meet Jimin." You answered.

"Don't you think your boyfriend should be the first thing you think of in the morning, instead of a certain short and annoying male?"

You laughed and shook your head in disbelief. "Jimin was the one who asked me to meet and for the record, you were the first thing I thought of in the morning."

"Really?" He sounded surprised.

"Yes." You answered truthfully as you remembered having your breakfast with no certain man to accompany you.

Jungkook ended the phone call only when you reached the cafe. Entering the small place, you wandered your gaze and quickly spotted Jimin in one of the booths with a smiling Hoseok waving in your direction.

"Hey!" You greeted, taking a seat infront of the two males.

"Hello." They both greeted back in unison. "How are you?" Hoseok asked, sliding a glass of orange juice in your direction. "Jimin ordered it for you." He informed.

"Thanks." You smiled in Jimin's direction. "And yeah, I'm doing great." You answered Hoseok's question.

"That's good." Jimin remarked.

"I was worried for you since Jimin suddenly informed you'd be taking leave for a week." Hoseok said.

"Um...yeah." You shuffled in your seat.

"Is your head... okay?" Hoseok asked, pointing at your bandaged forehead.

"It's quite bad." Jimin answered for you. "That's the reason she's taking a leave, after all." He gave you a look.

"Oh... yeah... right. It hurts a lot." You tried to join Jimin in the act.

"Please rest well." Hoseok worried. "Don't worry about the work. We'll handle it all. And there's no need to rush, since you know, Namjoon isn't here anymore." He shrugged.

"Yeah. Jimin told me about... that." You spoke. "How's it going for you?"

"Hectic." Hoseok gave a sad smile. "No idea how Namjoon used to manage all that. It sure is tough. I was getting a headache, when Jimin suggested we take a break." He said, pointing at the table.

You gave an understating nod at that.

"What can I say? I'm a living proof of the fact that angels exist." Jimin shrugged making you chuckle.

The three of you chatted for a while before Hoseok left saying he's got a lot of work to do.

"You know Jungkook's name was heard in the recording, right?" Jimin asked out of the blue.

"What?" You asked, surprised.

"The live broadcast I did on the day of your... kidnapping." He clarified.

"Shit."

"Not a big problem though. Many are thinking Black Knight simply lied about his real name. I mean, Jungkook didn't specify his surname and there's no much record of his in the outside world." Jimin said.

"Are you sure it'll be alright?" You worried.

"Yeah. He just needs to be a little careful until cops decide to drop the search and all. I'm sure Yoongi and he will manage." He answered truthfully.

"Hopefully." You sighed.

"That's why he quit work." Jimin revealed. "Jungkook resigned from BBC News."

"He did?"

"Yeah. This morning." He informed. "Leader took your name too, in the recording, but it was kinda inaudible. You're saved."

You just hummed at that, still worried for Jungkook.

Was it really okay?

"I should get back now. Although Hoseok isn't as scary as Namjoon, he's still pretty strict." He said, standing up.

---

Opening the door to your apartment and stepping in, you sighed recalling the conversation you had with Jimin. Although he told you not to worry, you couldn't help but think of the worst possible outcome.

A hand on your waist distracted you from your thoughts. "Welcome back." Jungkook said, pulling you in a back hug.

"What are you doing here? And how did you come in?" You bombarded him with questions.

"That's not how you greet your boyfriend." He narrowed his eyes at you. "It's not like I came for a theft."

"I..." you sighed. "Sorry. I was just... lost in thoughts..." you trailed off.

"Hey, what happened? You okay? Did Jimin do something? Do I have to beat him up?" He asked, dragging you and making you sit on the couch.

"No. It's not that. He... told me about....the recording. And how cops are after you. I'm scared." You expressed.

"That annoying dwarf, I swear to God." Jungkook huffed in annoyance. "I told him not to say anything to you."

"Why?"

"Because I didn't want you to worry. Now look." He said pointing at your figure. " I hate seeing you like this."

"I-

"It'll be alright, Y/N. The cops have been after me since years but here I am, sitting infront of you, safe and sound." He smiled, grabbing your shoulders in a comforting manner.

"This is different. They know your n-

"But they also suspect that I lied about my real name." Jungkook pointed out. "There's not much they can find out from my first name alone."

"You're right." You relaxed a little.

"Yoongi and I will manage. Don't worry." He pulled you in a hug. "Also, thanks to your articles, I'm not really a bad guy in public's eye anymore." He placed a kiss on your temple.

You tightened your arms around him, inhaling his comforting scent. "I just want you to be safe." You mumbled.

Jungkook gently pulled back and grinned at you. "I have something for you." He said. Pulling you up in his arms bridal style, he carried you to your bedroom and sat you down on your bed. You chuckled at the way he sat down on the floor, infront of you.

"Close your eyes for me." He said and you complied right away.

You stiffened feeling his fingers graze against the skin of your neck. Grabbing your shoulders, Jungkook instructed you to walk some distance and you blindly followed.

"Open your eyes." You heard his voice from behind.

A soft gasp left past your lips while you noticed the silver pendant wrapped around your neck in the mirror. Your eyes sparkled when you noticed a black star dangling from it.

"It's... beautiful." You commented.

"No, you are." Jungkook said, kissing your shoulder.

Your eyes watered at the way Jungkook was looking at you so lovingly. You turned around, placing a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you."

"Actually, Yoongi was the one who made it but yeah I was the one who begged him to do so... so yeah, you're welcome." He said, placing a quick peck on your lips.

"I'll thank him too." You giggled.

Jungkook smiled back. Gazing at the black star sitting perfectly at the exposed skin of your neck, he kissed you. "Mine." He declared against your lips.
