DEMAND

"Here is my wife," Taehyung's smirk grew wider as he watched you walk down the steps. He noticed your emotionless face and stiffened form. 

I am sorry, honey… but I need to let you know that you belong to me! Just me!

The people you loved moved their wet lashes to look up at you. They all shed a few more tears seeing you like that. You were supposed to be happy, you were supposed to get better… as you said but no! You were paler, your eye bags were bluish stating how tired you are. Your lips were red, chapped and swollen by the number of times you bit on them. 

No matter how much he tried to stay away from you… for you.He always knew you were his joy, his heart, his love, his reason to stay alive, his everything.And now that he is here, he will fight… fight with Taehyung, with his men, with the whole world… just to see you free.He'll lose everything just to gain you…He'll lose his own heart to see yours beating…He promised this time… from his heart.

Jungkook stayed still. He couldn't proceed to what he was seeing. He could feel his heart physically paining in his ribs, his breathing got unstable as he parted his lips to try to breathe. 

Let me embrace you for once…Just once…And I promise I'll never let you fall again!

As soon as he got in his senses, his arms furiously moved in the man's hold. But as assumed Taehyung already had two men ready to hold him and tie his hands. Jungkook has never felt this weak, never felt this vulnerable and shaky. 

You didn't look up. You didn't have the courage. 

What would you say? That you are the reason behind their unlocked death door! You can't. You've always brought pain and just pain for them…

"Y/n…" Rose's soft voice, shaking terribly as she saw you weaker and shakier. She has never seen you like this… so broke, so tired, so dead. 

Namjoon and Jimin stared at you with their burning gaze. Their heart ached to see you suffering so much. 

What have you done to deserve this? They questioned. And as deep as they tried to think of an answer, they found you did nothing. Nothing to bear all this.

You didn't move even at Rose's call. You don't want to look weak. You don't want them to die because of you. And you know how to stop all this… Maybe you know. 

"T… Taehyung," you muttered with a heavy voice, guts aching in your throat as you tried hard to speak. But again, Taehyung doesn't fail to hear you. 

"Yes, honey?" He asks, stepping near to you. His hand slid around your frightened figure, resting near the end of the waistline as you shiver due to the contact.

No one should come near… no one should touch me!

Oh to hell with your no-touch… you need to save four lives rather than crying for your fear!

Jungkook's fists balled in his palms, digging his nails in the flesh as he kept trying only to fail every time. He can't see you like that. The dread look on your face as you try to hide it with all your willingness makes him question. 

Why? Why are you still accepting? Where's the y/n who used to fight and throw people at their places?

But again… he's answered. He was the reason… Bushong was the reason.

"Darling. They came here to rescue you from here...can you imagine! The stupidity they did? Tell them that you are happy with me," Taehyung chuckled devilishly, his eyes then lingering on his prey. 

He wished to kill Jungkook first, shoving every single bullet right in his heart. But he controlled himself, for now.

Darling?!! The word makes Jungkook scoff. 

Is it what you give to people when you love them? 

The word disgusted you… and sickened the other beings in the room. 

No one… not even his men appreciated how Taehyung worked right now. His heinousness scared them. 

"You wanted to give me something for my birthday, right?" You ask, somewhere proud enough that you didn't stutter or break down. 

Taehyung's gaze slithered from them to you, his love. The glare turned into soft yet questioning stares. He somewhere had an idea about what you will ask for but still, he wished that you don't plead for something like that. 

He runs his cold hand across your spine, making you shut your eyes tightly for a second before you compose yourself. You gulped the lump down your throat, your hand aching to hold your sickening stomach. 

"Let them go.  I won't ask for anything more," your gaze shifts to peep at Taehyung while he stays unamused. His jaw clenched while his face hardened, hearing your wish. Your core pulsed like a vibrating device in fear of seeing his intimidating gaze.

Don't… don't look down! You'll lose them if you break the contact!

You keep staring at him with your doe eyes, waiting for him to agree to your wish. 

"Y/n!!! No!!! Don't… don't ask for us," Jimin growled, his husky voice scaring everyone in the room while you kept staring at Taehyung. 

If you lose eye contact… you lose them!

He raises his brows, his tongue rolling inside his cheeks as he licks his lips before taking a step ahead, closing the distance between you two. Your heart ceased, you feel losing its beats while your breath gets stuck in your lungs. 

"I want a return gift too, then," he adds, controlling his urge to smirk. 

Good!! Your puppets came just when he thought you wouldn't agree to marry him!

"Come on… Y/n, No! Please… I promise I'll make everything better… please don't accept this ba*tards's request!!" Namjoon yelled, painting the walls with his aggressive octaves while Taehyung and you kept staring at each other. Your glance shows the fake warmth to make him believe while his iris holds a playful mood.

"Gifted," you mumbled. 

What was now left to lose? 

You lost yourself! You lost your family! You lost your husband! You are on the verge of losing your friends! You lost the y/n who you loved the most! 

What more could he ask for? To stay with him? To be with him always? To love him? To sell yourself to him? To… to sleep with him? 

"Marry me, y/n. Marry me and I'll let them go," he states, his tone sounding assurance while you lose your throbbing lips to part to breathe. 

It was at this moment when he lost it all. Jungkook teared up watching the moment unfold while his gaze burned in pure irritation.

How more do you want to give?!! Please… please… don't, love!

Your cold eyes… he could see the coldness beneath those fake warmness. He could read everything but he didn't know how to cut the tight strings attached to his wrists. Jungkook's vigorous movements led his feet to land on the man holding him, making the sobbing environment fill with groans and grunts. 

Taehyung was the first to break contact, his gaze then travelling to watch the folk. You didn't move again, breaking Jungkook even more.

Don't be so harsh on yourself… I beg you. Don't punish yourself for what you haven't done. 

"You are so pathetic Jeon Jungkook? You couldn't keep her happy while she was with you and now when she's happy… you are trying to take that happiness too!" Taehyung's smirk was everything to make people lose their calm.  

"Happy? She's FAR AWAY from being happy! Let her go… you want to kill us! Go ahead… let her go, please… if you ever wanted to see her happy..." Jungkook's loud tone gets cut off by your small voice surrounding the room.

"I'll marry you," you agree to his saying, making Taehyung's eyes almost pop out of his sockets. He turns to you, his hands sliding down your weak arms as he reaches the flesh of your palms. Your cold palm opens due to his touch while Taehyung holds your knuckles and plants a gentle kiss on them. 

Oh, honey… Don't do this…I'll die right now,If you ask for it!

Tears well up in your eyes as you gulp them harshly, reminding yourself to be strong and not let them die. 

"Shut up, y/n! You can't do this!" Rose yells, struggling harder in those clutches.

"Y/n, don't do this stupidity. Don't jump in the river knowing you'll die! Man, we will handle ourselves… don't do this," Namjoon growls, his veins popping out and facing flickering in anger. 

You were getting on his nerves now…

"Cupcake, please! Please don't ruin yourself so much. Don't trouble your soul so much… we promise, we'll be okay, you don't have to worry," Jimin assures you and that's when a tear rolls down your gaze. 

Gladly, Taehyung doesn't notice it as he is busy holding your hand and cupping the flesh. You remove his grip and wipe the tear instantly. Taehyung stares at you with his loving eyes wondering if you will ever love him. 

No… 

Everyone's heart was at fire in agony and wrath seeing you behaving like that. They told you that they can handle it but still you were putting yourself at risk. 

'I'll marry you,' the words sliced through his heart like the sharpest knife, tearing apart every corner of it and pulling it out of his skin. He knew why you were doing this but he couldn't help and get sick of those words. He was supposed to hear those, wasn't he? But he knew he didn't deserve that.

Darling, do you have any idea…Any idea about how much I love you,How I can die but can't allow you to grant me life, I thought I loved you the most…But no, you've loved me the most, to an extent where I can never stand…

He lost every strength when those words escaped your lips as he stopped moving, his body slumping in the arms of the men while his eyes stayed on your figure. He could see the trembling behind that stiffness, the tears behind those cold eyes, that resentment behind the fake warmth.

"Wow! I can't believe we are doing this. And now, I am not mad at your puppets," he laughs, taking a step back and staring at the people. While your body showed no movements. And they understood how hard you were trying. 

The thing which surprised you was the stillness of Jungkook. He didn't reply to what you said as others did. Maybe indicating that he believes your words, that he thinks you love Taehyung now. And the earlier he understands that you two weren't meant to happen together in this life the better it was. 

We are roses with prickliest thorns, and We are destined to sting each other…So let's not wish to be gardened In the same grass again.We'll bloom when we areApart from each other…

Your fingers hooked on the waistband on your sweatpants, digging inside the lining of panties while your gaze was on Taehyung. You took care of noticing his every movement until you found it. 

"I will be honest… I wish to kill each one of you right now but I can't betray my love hence I need to let y'all go," Taehyung muttered, placing his gun inside his gun holder resting on the buckle of his pants. While a sigh of relief leaves your mouth. 

It doesn't matter you'll always be loved by me. 

My love will always be the same… 

"Y/n, leave any message if you have them. And then we'll bid them goodbye," Taehyung's tone shifts to a serious one while they all glare at the man. And yearned for your gaze, just a small glimpse. 

"I do not have any. Let them go, safe and sound," you ask and he nods, indicating his men to arrange a vehicle to throw them out of the town.  "Kiss me, y/n… and let them know that you are happy with me," Taehyung orders and steps closer to you. Your lips trembled against the gums as you stared at him.

Why would you test me so much?

Why do you want to see him breaking so much? What has he done to see all this? 

I am giving myself… then let him leave peacefully 

Please don't break him in the worst way, I beg of you…

He hooks his fingers around your shoulder while your gaze drops. Jungkook stared at you silently. He knows you, he knows that if you decide on something you'll go to any extent and this kiss was one of the worst. 

He would never doubt you or your love…You were his moon and you still shone Still shone with all your imperfections, fears and weaknesses…He wasn't with you before but he is now, And he'll be with you always… 

"Go on, love. Kiss him. Don't worry about me… I've never doubted your love and I never will," he asserted, stabbing himself but letting you know that he trusts you and his heartbreak won't be a thing in front of your pain. 

He will never question your decision…

Taehyung's veins prickled against his skin while his face hardened, his jaw clenching in anger hearing his pronoun for you while you shut your eyes hearing that.

Love.

Is it what heaven feels like? Is it supposed to be so peaceful even when every corner of your body is on fire? 

His pronoun didn't leave a chance to tingle your insides, passing a shiver down your spine, kissing your forehead just like how he used to… 

Can I get a kiss? A forehead one before I die?

"The car's ready," one of his man's voices echoes down the house, stopping Taehyung from strangling Jungkook. 

Goodbye… I love you all,

Those tall men dragged the love of your life while your fingers tightened their grip around the thing in your fist. 

Each of them muttered something which you hardly heard as the blade in your palm occupied your brain and mind. You gulped and waited for them to step out of the house before you cut your vein. Taehyung turned you to face the four of them, leaving the house as your wet lashes now move to see them. 

Rose never looked so vulnerable to you as you asked for forgiveness from her while she shook her head, staring at you with her blurry gape. Jimin was mad at you and as much as he didn't want to look weak for you, he couldn't help but shed a tear when your eyes met his. Namjoon's heart was breaking but he assured you, his nods assured you that he'll come back to save you. 

Jungkook. There he was. Your man, your love. The one who ruined you till your core, the one who healed your pain of more than four years just by his voice, the one whose tears bleed your heart. He had that small smile again, indicating that he trusts you, no matter what decision you took. He loves and trusts you with all his will. 

World changed... When those pair of love met yours

"I love you, my love!" He yelled with his hoarse voice, painting Taehyung's residence walls with his confession before he was dragged out of the house. The man beside you growled and cursed under his breath and wished he wouldn't have promised you for letting them go and would have been best if he killed them right now.

And you nodded with a teary eye and caressed your skin before slicing the skin ripped open through the sharp side of the blade, plucking out the blood along with the red fluid covering the steel plate. A small hiss left your edges while you bit your lips to control any noise coming from them. Your eyes shut tightly as you call for your death, waiting for your body to collapse. 

The helper gasps seeing the drops of lifeline out of you, the blood dripping down your fingertips as you stand there shivering a little. Her gasp catches Taehyung's attention as the man yells at her. Her shaking figure points her index finger at your form while his eyes follow her indication. His eyes again widened till they reached the back of his sockets, his trembling hand reaching your arm. 

"Y/n!" He yells, holding out your wrist as he asks the helper to bring something to tie at your wrist while you smile weakly at him. 

"Please," he begged, his heart aching to see you like this.

Now!! Now he understood how it feels to see your loved ones dying…

"I… love… Jungkook," your shaking edges managed to utter as you shut your eyes to drift into eternal sleep. He takes you in his arms, yelling and calling for help. 

He was afraid… afraid of losing you…

Not knowing he never gained you, your love and he never will…

"Maria!! Get the damn car!! I swear I'll kill everyone," he wails, his arms sliding around your form and picking you up.
