Part 3

"Y-you want me to sleep here?" You asked in disbelief."Yeah, this way I can keep an eye on you on my own. No one dares to come near this room."Well duhhh, who would dare to come into YOUR room?"Don't worry I won't do anything funny to you. You're not my type." Sensing your discomfort, he reassured while looking at you from top to bottom."Psshhh.. whatever." You rolled your eyes at him, "Are you gonna keep my handcuffs on at all times? What if I need to go to the bathroom?" "I.. I haven't thought about that detail. Well, just stay like this for a couple of days until I figure out a better option." His brows knitted into a furrow."You better figure it out asap. I don't want to stay in the same room with a criminal like you." You plopped down on the make-shift bed he prepared for you at a corner of his vast bedroom, one of your wrists was cuffed onto the bed frame."Ya! I also don't want to be in the same room with you, but what can I do? You're too weak to defend yourself & I still need you to tell me where Jimin hyung is. Top of the class, my ass." He retorted."Weak? If my hands weren't cuffed, he would've been dead in minutes!""Pfftt.. yeah right." He scoffed, a smug smile plastered across his face."Ughhh.. why are you so freaking annoying?!" You yelled at him."Well, this annoying guy has saved your life twice & a couple of minutes ago you were sobbing gratefully into my chest.""I wouldn't have gone through near-death experience if you hadn't dragged me here!" You were seriously baffled by his childish mockery."Fine! So just tell me where Jimin hyung is then I'll let you go!" He shouted at you."I told you I don't know anything!" You screamed back at him."Jesus.. why are you so fucking stubborn?!" He pushed his hair back & said through gritted teeth.Both of you stared at each other for a few minutes in silence. None of you were willing to give in."Suit yourself then. I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now because SOMEONE caused so much trouble for me today." He threw himself onto his bed & closed his eyes."You- ughhh..." You exhaled in frustration.You were about to lie down when you realized that there was a huge rip on one side of your shirt. Thus, you quickly wrapped yourself with your hands.Have I been exposed like this since just now?Your cheeks flushed instantly, realizing that Jungkook had seen a large portion of your naked body."Here. Wear this." A shirt was suddenly thrown onto your lap. "Don't worry, it's clean."Jungkook turned around, switched off the light & walked back to his bed."T-thanks." You said as you skeptically observed the shirt he gave you. It hung loose on you but at least it did the job of covering you up. The shirt smelled of him, masculine & metallic. Like blood."Hey." He suddenly called you."What?""Do you want to know how I became who I am?" He asked in a low voice."Nope." You answered nonchalantly, but you were actually curious."Psshhh.. I know you're lying." You rolled your eyes & kept quiet, waiting for him to tell his story."My dad died too when I was 8. My real dad I mean. He died because somebody made him a scapegoat for a crime he didn't do. I had a happy family even though we were poor & my mom was physically weak, but after that incident, everything fell apart. My dad couldn't handle the pressure so he killed himself in the prison cell, the only message he left was 'I'm sorry.' My mom followed him not long after. The doctor said cancer killed her, but I believe it was heart break." Jungkook explained everything in a monotonous voice, as if all the things he said didn't concern him.So, he's adopted?"I was sent to the orphanage by the system, same with you, coz no one wanted to take me in. I met Jimin hyung there & we both got adopted by Abeonim. So, here I am now.""I-I'm sorry." You genuinely felt so."I hated the law enforcement so much. They closed my dad's case without further investigation & slandered him just because he was a penniless cleaning service. A nobody. Fate did the right thing by bringing me to Abeonim. His line of work matches my sentiment." He scoffed.You didn't know what to say, so you just kept quiet. Funny how destiny worked, daughter of a dead police officer & son of a dead convict met each other under such dramatic circumstance."Don't feel sorry for me. I don't need your pity. I'm telling you this because I sympathize with you coz we're both orphans. Fate just took us to different directions. Anw, that's it. Good night."The sound of his rustling blanket filled the air. You couldn't sleep, his memories haunted you on top of your own. But then your mind grasped onto something that he said.Did he say he sympathize with me? Maybe I can use it to my advantage.A plan began to develop inside your head.

The first thing you needed to do was to make him uncuff you. Permanently.You woke up & scanned the room. Jungkook was soundly asleep, you could hear his light snore from where you were sitting."Ehmm!" You loudly cleared your throat, but he didn't even stir."Jeon Jungkook.. Jeon Jungkook!" Startled, he abruptly sat up & pointed his gun at you."Yo yo! Calm down! It's me Y/n." You raised your hands up & shouted at him."Fuck.. What do you want?! It's 2 fucking AM for fuck's sake!" He groaned as he slammed his head back down onto the pillow."I just need to pee." You said timidly."What? I can't hear you." "I NEED TO PEE!" You screamed so loud that he instantly jumped off his bed."Jesus, you don't need to scream, I'm not deaf." He grumbled & walked towards you.His robe was half opened & you could see his well-defined torso peeking through. You quickly averted your gaze, not wanting his good looks to sway you.He took out the keys & unlocked the handcuff that was bound to the bed frame."What about the other one?" You dangled your other hand in front of him."Do you think I'm stupid?" He put the cuff that he just unlocked around his own wrist & locked it, so you were basically tied to him."What the- How am I supposed to pee then?!""I won't look. Come on, stop wasting my time." Ignoring your protest, he dragged you towards the bathroom & pushed the door open."Go on." Crossing his arms, he pointed to the toilet with his chin & turned his back on you."What? No! How do I know that you won't look?""I gave you my word!""That's not enough! Let me pee in peace for a few seconds, I swear I won't run away. Besides there's no window in here, I have nowhere to run." You pleaded."Ughhh.. Fine! I'll wait right by the door, don't you dare do anything stupid. If you do, I'll shoot your legs." He tried to scare you, but you knew he didn't mean it."Ok ok. Now uncuff me. I'm about to pee my pants if you don't hurry up." He rolled his eyes & unlocked the cuff on your hand.Omg I'm free!Deep down you were ecstatic, but you kept your poker face on."I'll be right outside." He threw a side glance at you as he walked out the door.You quickly did your business while your eyes took in the details of the room. There really was no way to escape from here. You searched for anything that you could use as a weapon, but there were none.Then your eyes landed on the shaving blade.Gotcha. But.."Hey! Are you done? What's taking you so long?" He shouted from outside."I'm almost done."Suddenly, he swung the door open & rushed into the bathroom. He probably remembered leaving the blade on the sink. His eyes were wild as he looked back & forth between you & the sink.The blade was still there."What?" You pretended to be confused about what was going on."N-nothing. You done, right? I need to pat you down."You figured that he was going to do that, so you didn't take the blade. Well, you made the right choice."Why do you need to search me for? Hey watch your hands!" You yelled because his hands grazed over your buttocks."Psshhh.. I just need to make sure. Chill, your flat bottoms don't turn me on." "Why you- Arghhh!" Done with the search, he pulled you out of the bathroom & cuffed your hand onto the bed frame again."Don't you ever wake me up again. If you want to pee just do it right there, I don't give a fuck."You quietly lied down on your bed & waited, counting down the minutes inside your brain.Then, after about an hour, you sat up again."Jeon Jungkook.. Jeon Jungkook!" You called out to him."Ya! What do you want this time?!" He looked furious as hell & that scared you a bit, but you pushed on."I need to go to the restroom again." You grinned at him.You repeated that a couple more times, each time with a different reason, until he couldn't take it anymore & uncuffed both of your hands."If you try to do anything suspicious, I'll shoot you right on the spot." He threatened & this time it seemed like he meant it."Alright tough guy, you don't need to threaten me with your gun every single time." You snickered."Ya! I mean it, if you-" He was flustered by your dismissing tone."Yeah yeah yeah.. Go away, I'm sleepy. Don't you have a gang to lead?" Without waiting for his response, you turned to the side & covered your head with the blanket."You- ughhh.. I'll be back." He grumbled as he stepped away.Through the thin sheet of blanket, you could hear him opening all the cupboards & drawers in the bedroom & bathroom. He was most likely confiscating anything that you could use as a weapon or evidence for his wrongdoing.Once you heard him leaving the room, you rose from your bed right away & turned the door knob, but it was locked.You lied back down on the bed & closed your eyes."Be patient Y/n. Your opportunity will come. You must gain his trust for now."

You maintained your cool for the next few days, not doing anything that would raise his suspicion. You could tell that he was quite surprised at how behaved you were. Slowly, his eyes followed you less, he didn't immediately jump on his feet when you stood up from your bed, & he let you roam around bigger vicinity than the usual short distance between the bed & bathroom. His nagging still continued though. He kept asking you about Jimin, albeit in a less violent way. Nowadays, he tried to use his charm more than his fist to coax information out of you.He'd sat real close to you & stared into your eyes when he "interrogated" you. You'd be lying if you said your heart didn't skip a beat whenever he did that. He looked much more handsome than half of the celebrities you know. It was such a waste that he had to be a criminal.You were combing your filthy hair with your fingers, trying to unravel the knots running through it, when he suddenly snatched your wrists & pushed you down onto your bed."W-what are you doing?" You stuttered, avoiding his gaze. You could feel his manhood grazing over your thigh & his hot breath on your cheek. "I'm losing my patience. Tell me what I want to know & I'll give you whatever you want." He whispered into your ear."I- I really have nothing to tell you. I was just a newbie who was assigned to temporarily guard the safe house. They didn't tell me anything. I would've told you already if I knew. I'm exhausted & I have nothing personal against you. You said it yourself, most cops didn't last a day, most of them gave the info right away after your torture. Well, what if I truly don't have the information you're looking for? So I could do nothing but endure all this pain?" You hoped your lie was convincing enough."You sure?" He raised one of his brows as his face moved closer & closer."Y-yes I am." You braced yourself to look straight into his eyes. Your lips almost brushed against his.Upon hearing your reply, he abruptly released your hands & stood up. You were still trying to calm your rapidly beating heart when he threw a towel & a bunch of clothings onto your bed."Go take a shower. You stink." He scrunched his nose & made a face.You grabbed the stuffs & dashed to the bathroom.Oh God, thank you for getting me through that.You quickly unbuttoned your shirt, impatient to let the water wash away all the dirt on your body. Just as you were about to slide off your pants, you heard his phone rang inside the room.Instantly, you tiptoed to the door & pressed your ear against it.Faintly, you could hear his angry voice."What the fuck?! Can't you guys do one thing right?! Don't do anything, I'll be there soon."Then, the sound of hurried footsteps & door opening followed.This is my chance.You quickly put your clothes back on & popped your head out the door. He was gone.Carefully, you rushed to the nearest cupboard & searched it thoroughly. You kept doing it until you'd searched all the cupboards & drawers in the room."He really cleaned everything up huh.." Finding nothing useful, your hope was crushed, but you found one more drawer that you had yet to open.You slowly pulled it out & your heart instantly stopped. There was a 0.22 caliber handgun nested on top of a pile of clothings.You took the gun in your hand & checked it. It was fully loaded.Yes!Your eyes darted to the door. It appeared that it wasn't completely closed. You could see the gap between the door & its frame from where you were standing.Did he forget to lock it?You tiptoed towards the door with a huge smile on your face, thinking that it was time for you to escape.But you suddenly stopped in your track.Wait, this is all too easy. You thought about all the possibilities & then came up with a decision. You retreated your steps, put the gun back into the drawer, & walked into the bathroom.As you turned on the water, you thought to yourself.I hope I made the right decision.

Jungkook's POVHe waited right by the door with his gun cocked & ready.What's taking her so long? Doesn't she find my bait?He waited for a good long 30 minutes, but you didn't make any move.He put his gun back into the holster on his waist & quietly pushed the door open. You were sitting on your bed wearing a bathrobe. Your hair was wet & you were drying it with the towel he gave you.His eyes were drawn to your exposed thigh, crossed over your knee. The mark from the bullet wound looked out of place on your smooth skin, but it only added to the allure. The effect you had on him surprised himself.Damn it.He swallowed a gulp of saliva & cleared his throat.Your eyes shot up towards him & you quickly covered your leg with the bathrobe."It's not like I haven't seen it." He muttered under his breath, took off his jacket & collapsed onto the bed, averting his gaze away from you."So even if I stripped naked it wouldn't affect you, right?" Your teasing tone of voice intrigued him, but he pretended not to hear & kept tapping on his phone.Suddenly, you appeared in his peripheral vision, standing right by his bed with a frown in between your brows."Ya, I'm talking to you." "What? I didn't hear it." He said even though he had heard it perfectly loud & clear."Don't you know that it's rude if you don't respond when someone's talking to you?" You climbed onto his bed & straddled him on his waist. The bare skin on your thighs rubbed against the thin fabric around his torso.Your move took him completely by surprise. He dropped his phone onto the bed, his mouth gaped open & eyes widened.What the fuck is this girl doing?You leaned your body forward, pressing your chest against his while keeping your gaze straight at his eyes. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" You smirked as your fingers traveled across his arm to his hand.He groaned, feeling his manhood growing in response to your touch, but he knew you were up to something.In a swift move, he flipped you over & straddled you in return. His hand caught yours which was holding his phone. He yanked the phone from your grasp & threw it onto the bedside table."Do you think I don't know what you're up to, you sneaky cop?" He snickered. "Well, it doesn't hurt to give it a try." You shrugged smugly."I think you're getting too comfortable with me, aren't you? Have you forgotten that you're my captive & I can end you in an instant?" He said as calmly as possible, despite the desire growing inside him."Well I guess you can, but you haven't killed me right? So I'll take my chances." You raised one of your brows, challenging him.The whole situation turned him on massively. Without realizing, he'd fallen slowly under your charm. You, who were sassy, strong, brave, smart & insurmountable in his eyes. All he wanted to do now was conquering you & listening to you screaming his name in surrender."I swear to God, if you don't stop playing this stupid game of yours, I'll do something to you that will make you hate me even more." He stared at you as he slid his tongue over his lower lip."Try me, Jeon Jungkook." You whispered in his ear with a slight quiver in your voice.That did it for him, so he crashed his lips onto yours. Your hair, your skin smelled like him, like you were his, & that pushed him even further.His hands were about to untie your robe when the sound of door opening made him break away from the kiss.
