Namjoon's POV:

The first thing I saw when I walked up to my company was a moving truck. Panic started to set in. What was going on!? Nothing happened to my company without me knowing!

I charged in as fast as I could and hit the elevator. It took me up as I battled with the panic that settled itself in my stomach. I was going to find out what the hell was going on and I would fix it!

The elevator stopped on my office floor and as soon as it opened I witnessed a nightmare. There were movers packing up my belongings in boxes and pulling them out of my office! What the hell was going on!?

"Hey! Stop that! What the hell do you think you're doing with my stuff!"
I yelled at one only to stop and yell at another. "Put that down!"

They all looked at me with a blank stare as if what I said had no meaning to it. I pushed past them and went into my office to find it almost all cleared out.
One guy was putting my books into a box.

"Stop that! Don't touch those!" I yelled and demanded feeling as if I was dreaming. The only thing remaining was my desk and my large chair, which was facing away from me. The man I yelled at looked at me and stopped,confused. I had to call the owner and find out what was really happening-

"You may continue."

I froze as I heard that familiar voice from behind my desk. The mover then listened and threw the rest of the books into the box and made his way past me.
I didn't stop him. Not after I that voice had spoke.
Could it really be? I felt hatred overwhelm me.

"Jeon."

I watched as my chair turned around and I came face to face with none other than the man I hated more than anything.

Jeon Jungkook.

"What the fuck at you doing in my chair!?" I spat.
He had a blank expression on his face as he looked at me with dark eyes.

"It's actually company property, isn't it?"

Then, to make my blood boil, he gave me a cocky smirk.

"And considering you no longer work for this company, you can't claim it, can you?"
He was lying.

"I'm not fired. I run this company! The only one who can fire me is the owner himself! So get off your fucking high horse and get out of my office before I call the cops!"

I threatened. Yeah, that should do it. I'd show him-

"Ah. Yes. You're right. We should consult the owner, your boss first."

I watched as he never even lifted a finger to make the phone call to the owner of the company. Instead he leaned forward, but his elbows on my desk, and then rested his head on his fists. He lost his smirk and acted as if he was pondering something.

"Ah, yes."

he then spoke, rising to his feet to his full height, which I hated that he was taller than me. His eyes narrowed.

"You're fired."

My eyes widened. He... he didn't...

"You didn't-"

"Ahh. But I did."

he took a few strides and made his way around the desk.

"Do you know how easy it is to buy a company? I don't know why I never thought of it before. Han Jaemin was very happy to see that I went to him and made him an offer. Since he is older and has been wanting to retire and
all, he gladly sold his company over to the most successful business owner there is around here."

"You own this company!?" I couldn't believe my ears! My job... my life goals... my future...

He narrowed his eyes again.

"For someone who has been running this company, you sure aren't too bright."

"You can't do this!" I stated, beyond angry. I wanted him dead. I wanted him out of the picture!

"You'll pay for this!"

With only two steps with his long legs he then towered over me, only inches away from me. I wanted to strangle him, wanted to punch him, wanted to take all that he held dear from him! His brown eyes instantly switched to one of pure anger.

For a moment, I was actually... scared.

With his tall and large body, I hated to admit that I was no match for him. And I had never seen him display such anger before, even just with his eyes. His hands went into fists and I could hear his teeth clench.

"I will only tell this to you one time."

I took a step back, now hearing more of an animalistic deep
tone. It caught me off guard.

"If you ever lay a hand on my woman again, I will no longer be the controlled business man you see before you. I will strip everything that you find dear, including your freedom."

My body began to shake. This son of a bitch... this bastard... My hands went into fists.
What was the point in being civil!?
Everything in me wanted to make him pay-

"Before you do anything stupid." he saw my hand begin to move. "I have two police officers outside this door. If you make one wrong move, you'll be arrested."

He threatened.
What? There were cops outside my office? Damn... him...

"I'm not one to be toyed with, Kim. I take what I want, when I want it... and I destroy when I see fit. You crossed the line when you touched Y/N earlier today. I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life."

☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎

Jungkook's POV:

The officers came in and escorted Kim out of my sight.
He tried fighting them, and continued to call me a fucking beast, but if I had let him stand in front of me any longer, I would have been the one to regret it.

Because I would have hospitalized him.

My body felt so tight and my hands were itching to punch the lights out of Namjoon. But I knew that would only cause trouble for Y/N. I couldn't do it. I had to stay in control.

Yet this overwhelming anger surged through me. I had to get out of here and cool my head. Otherwise I might actually do something stupid. I couldn't afford that.

Luckily the old man had taken a really good deal for the company leaving me plenty to send every worker home, with pay, for the next two weeks until I figured out what I was going to do with this company. It was a smaller one, but I had to make sure the employee's still had work to come back to.

Ugh! I had to do something before I went crazy!

☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎

The wind blew against my body, giving me a bit of resistance as I ran.
The weather was still nice, which reminded me of Y/N and what had happened to her earlier.

How horrible was it that I wasn't there to protect her?
For all I knew, it could have been that damn man again that tried killing me!

My legs pushed me faster and my arms pumped harder. My body was already getting tired, but my mind had so much to work through, I ignored it.

I was happy to find that I had an extra set of workout clothes in my car. So I quickly threw them on and took off down the road. I didn't have a set time or set amount of miles I wanted to run, I just need to run. I needed to tire myself out and work out all these damn emotions of anger.
I couldn't go home and face Y/N with them.

Not yet anyways.

Yet, no matter how long I had run so far, the anger still remained. It made me so frustrated to feel this way, when I just wanted to calm down! But flashes of Y/N being pinned down by Namjoon, and his body pressed up against hers, and his lips against hers kept coming.

He should rot in hell!

I kept running, breathing heavily.

Maybe I was still afraid. Afraid because I had to claim to
Y/N right now. We weren't married. I didn't have the safety net to keep me sane.
When we were married it was as if she couldn't walk away without both of our consents. But now... for all I know she could have already packed her belongings and left me right now.

As a sharp pain stabbed my chest, I stopped and grabbed onto the nearest building wall. I tried catching my breath to ease the pain, but it didn't go away. It only came even sharper.

"Ugh! Damn it!" I held my chest and went down to my knees.

"Sir, are you alright?"

A gentle woman's voice asked. Just as gentle as her voice, her hand came down and touched my shoulder.

"I'm fine..." I whispered.

"... Just need a minute-"
I groaned as the pain returned again.

"Oh my..."

With a swift movement she turned me so that I laid flat on my back on the sidewalk.

"Is it hard for you to breathe?" she asked, lifting my legs
up.

"A bit.. yes... just got... done running." I told her.

Damn didn't she see that? I kept my eyes closed, trying to focus to get this pain to go away. As I rested, the pain slowly started to dissipate.

"How long have you been running for?" she then asked. Her hands gently checked my pulse.

"Not sure... check watch." I lifted my hand up towards her, still not quite knowing what she looked like or who she was. She took my wrist and looked at the Garmin watch and gasped.

"Eight miles in an hour!? What are you trying to do!? Kill yourself!?"

I didn't reply but just rested and found myself finally relaxing a bit. It took a while, but my heart stopped racing and the pain finally subsided from my chest.
I breathing calmed down and I didn't feel short of breath anymore. I don't know how long I laid there for, but the woman stayed by my side and checked on me often.
She offered to call an ambulance, but I refused.

"How are you feeling?" she asked. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to look at her.

I was surprised that she looked so young. Maybe in her early twenties. She had short blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I'm better, thanks." I looked away and slowly sat up.

"I just pushed myself too hard." I pushed myself up onto my feet and steadied myself. The woman was right there to help, but I held a hand out to stop her.

"Thank you for your help, but I'm okay now."

Damn. My legs felt like jello and my body was weak from all that running. I guess I really hadn't realized just how hard I had run, or how long.

"Are you sure you're okay to make it home?"

Home. To Y/N.

"Yes I'll be fine." I told her.

☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎☼︎

I locked the door behind me as I walked in. I still felt the anger from earlier, but my body was too exhausted to act out and punch walls like I wanted to do before.

Once I slipped off my shoes by the front door, I took a step into the living room to be met with the aroma of food. It smelled so good. Y/N must be in the kitchen.

As I got closer to the kitchen I stopped and watched as Y/N cooked with music playing. She was singing along with the song playing. The pitch wasn't perfect by far, but I felt joy once again in place of the bitterness. The relief and amusement that overcame me was refreshing and needed.

How was it that this woman all by herself could instantly alter my mood?
She could take any dark cloud in my soul and turn it bright.

Y/N turned to grab something and finally spotted me. She gasped and blushed.

"J-Jungkook, you're back."
Quickly looking away and reaching for something she accidentally burned the inside of her arm.

"Ouch! Damn it!" she cursed and went to put it under cold water.

Without a word I came over and stood beside her, taking her arm and looking at the small burn on the inside of it. It was just a small spot, nothing major.

"Jungkook..." she whispered as I bent down and kissed it softly.

"What happened, Jungkook?" she tried again, forgetting about her burn.
Taking a deep breath I looked up and focused on her stormy grey orbs. The curly, wild auburn hair of hers was tucked back in a loose pony tail. The soft skin of her cheeks a beautiful heart shape, her lips perfect in every way.

"I love you, Y/N."

I could hear her breath hitch, see her eyes widen and tears begin to form in her eyes.

"You... do?"

she asked in a desperate whisper. After all we had been
through, it was true and I had finally said it. I could see the hope in her eyes as she waited for me to say it again.

"Yes." I told her boldly once more.

"I am in love with you."

I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms once again.
I buried my own head into her hair and held her close.

"I... I never thought..." she whispered against my chest.
I could barely hear her, but I listened carefully.
Y/N then slowly pulled back, just enough so she could look at me. Teary eyed, she lifted up onto her toes and kissed me. I didn't hesitate to return the actions, until she pulled back just slightly. Our lips still only inches apart.

"I fell for you a while ago, Jungkook. I was just so afraid that you wouldn't feel the same back so I... didn't say anything."

She loved me?

"You actually love a beast like me?"

The beautiful warm smile that I had been wanting to see all day finally appeared before me.

"Yes. Every inch of you."

The happiness that I felt was beyond what I thought I could ever experience. All the anger from earlier was completely gone as were all the horrible thoughts I had. This woman who I just confessed to, said she loved me.

"Then marry me."
