"Crimson Desires"

Day 4

Y/n's heart skipped a beat as she heard Jungkook's voice, her body tensing with a mixture of fear and apprehension. It had been four days since she last heard his voice, four days of fleeting freedom from his suffocating presence. The sudden sound of his voice sent a wave of panic coursing through her veins, her mind racing with thoughts of what he might be discussing on the phone.

Her instincts urged her to retreat, to flee from the sound of his voice and seek refuge in the safety of her chambers. But a nagging curiosity gnawed at her, tempting her to linger and eavesdrop on his conversation, despite the risks involved.

With trembling hands, y/n pressed herself against the wall, straining to catch snippets of Jungkook's conversation. But his voice remained muffled and indistinct, his words shrouded in secrecy and mystery.
Yn's heart raced as she strained to hear Jungkook's conversation, her anxiety mounting with each passing moment. But despite her efforts, the words remained elusive, their meaning obscured by the distance and the walls that separated them.

Unbeknownst to her, Jungkook was speaking with Taehyung and Jimin about her, discussing the delicate matter of her lost memories and her connection to Eunji.

Yn's heart pounded in her chest as she heard Jungkook approach the door, her breaths coming in shallow gasps as she scrambled to flee from his presence. With adrenaline coursing through her veins, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her, her footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as she called out in a desperate bid to escape unnoticed.

As Jungkook opened the door, his eyes scanned the corridor, searching for any sign of the intruder who had been listening in on his conversation. But to his confusion and frustration, there was no one in sight, only the empty expanse of the dimly lit corridor stretching before him.
With a furrowed brow, Jungkook closed the door behind him, his thoughts consumed by the unsettling feeling that he was being watched. But with no evidence of the intruder's presence, he pushed the nagging feeling aside and returned to his conversation with Jimin and Taehyung, determined to focus on more pressing matters at hand.

****taehyung and jimin were together at taehyung's palace.

Taehyung and Jimin exchanged concerned glances as they listened to Jungkook's words, his tone firm. They could sense the underlying tension in his voice, a reflection of the turmoil brewing within him.
"Jungkook, we're just worried about y/n's well-being," Taehyung said gently, his expression earnest. "We don't want to see her unhappy or feel trapped."

Jimin nodded in agreement, his gaze steady as he added, "We understand that this is a second chance for you both, but we can't ignore our concerns for yn. She deserves to be treated with kindness and respect."
Jungkook's jaw clenched with frustration as he listened to his friends' words, the weight of their concerns weighing heavily on his mind. He knew they meant well, but their interference only served to exacerbate the conflict between him and yn.

"I appreciate your concern, but I know what's best for yn," Jungkook replied, his voice tinged with dominance. "Please, trust me to handle this."

With a solemn nod, Taehyung and Jimin reluctantly agreed to respect Jungkook's wishes, their hearts heavy with worry for y/n's future. Deep down, they hoped that Jungkook was right—that this second chance would bring happiness and healing for both him and yn. But only time would tell if their trust in him was misplaced or if true redemption lay ahead for them all.

*********

As the days passed with Jungkook's return to the castle, Yn couldn't help but notice his absence and lack of attention towards her. Despite her initial relief at his preoccupation with his royal duties, a sense of unease gnawed at her, leaving her to wonder if Jungkook was aware of her brief escape with Jihoon, Jimin, and Taehyung.

As Jungkook entered their chamber, his exhaustion weighing heavily on him, he couldn't help but be drawn to the sight of yn sleeping peacefully on the soft mattress. A sense of warmth and tenderness washed over him as he gazed upon her serene form, her delicate features illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight filtering through the window. With gentle movements, Jungkook crawled onto the bed and enveloped yn in his arms, pulling her close to him in a loving embrace. He savored the feel of her warmth against his skin, the steady rhythm of her breathing soothing his weary soul.

Yn's peaceful slumber was shattered as Jungkook's mood suddenly shifted, his demeanor becoming deranged and unpredictable. She jolted awake as he yanked her body towards him, the sudden movement causing her heart to race with fear and confusion.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Yn asked, her voice trembling with apprehension as she struggled to comprehend his sudden change in behavior. She could sense the tension radiating off him, his grip on her tightening with an intensity that sent a chill down her spine. Jungkook remained silent, his expression twisted with anger and resentment as he stared at her with dark, accusing eyes.

"Did you have fun while im away? You think I wouldn't know that you disobeyed me" jungkook burst.

In that moment, yn felt a wave of fear wash over her.
