The bag gets pulled off of my head, and I find myself in that stupid cage again, this time not tied to a chair. Jungkook and I were in the same cage, but he was sitting in the corner, not even looking at me. I try to look for an escape, but this time there were guards standing outside with guns. They'll blow my brains out if I pick that lock again.

I decide to walk over to Jungkook and set myself down next to him. He doesn't even look at me, and I don't say anything either. We both sit in silence.

Finally, he speaks, "What's your answer?" My eyes follow him to his face, and I tilt my head slightly in confusion. He refuses to even look at me, but still speaks to me nonetheless. "What's your answer to his proposal?"

I look back at the ground, hugging my knees to my chest. "No, obviously. He's a dick."

Jungkook smiles slowly, but the smile falls as he looks back at me. "I'm sorry."

I feel the corners of my mouth curve up, but then they drop immediately, "For what?"

"You know for what.." He mumbles under his breath, but I still hear it. I decide to take advantage of his current shyness, "No, I don't think I do. You might wanna remind me."

He groans, covering his face with his hands. "I'm sorry for saying that shit about Hyung not liking you."

I scoff, "I need a proper apology please."

Jungkook sighs, turning around to face me completely. "I'm honestly really sorry. I regret everything I said about you; you're not a bitch, you're awesome and I'm sure hyung will like you if you go on a date with him."

I smile, "Look, I don't like Jin anymore. All I wanted was for you to apologise for saying that because you acted like an absolute dick when you said it."

Jungkook smiles, and I smile back. All of a sudden his smile dropped, as if he just remembered something he didn't like. He turns back around, and speaks, "What do you think of Kai?"

I snort, crossing my legs on the ground so I can sit comfortably. "Total asshole. Kinda hot though," I watch as Jungkook's eyes widen and his face whips around to look at me. He scoffs, "You're joking right?"

I shake my head, "Nah, he's cute, I'm a huge fan of his hair colour. Not everyone would look good with red hair." Jungkook rolls his eyes, mumbling, "I'd probably look good with red hair." I tilt my head, "Yeah, I guess you would."

Jungkook smiles. All of a sudden, the door to the room clicks open, but the cage doesn't. Jungkook and I rush to our feet, walking towards the cage. Behind it, we see Kai. I scoff, "Not this bitch again." Kai smirks, "I missed you too, honey."

I roll my eyes, "Stop with the nicknames, dickwad." Kai steps closer to me, the only thing keeping me away from attacking him being the bars. I grit my teeth. Jungkook steps between us, "Yeah, I exist too."

I smile at Jungkook's behaviour, then decide to step out from behind him. I look at Kai, "What do you want, because I already rejected your proposal."

Kai smirks wider, "I just wanted to tell your friend here to prepare himself, because his execution is tomorrow." Jungkook's eyes widen, but I keep my cool, "Jungkook's execution? No way."

Kai smiles, "Well, not just Jungkook's. The dog's too." I grit my teeth, plunging myself forwards and grabbing the bars. "If you lay a hand on either Bruno or Jungkook you will not live to see another day."

Kai's face falls, "Your threats are nothing to me." My jaw clenches, and Kai takes my silence as a sign to continue, "You wanna prevent their execution? Marry me, and I'll let them go."

Jungkook clicks his tongue, "I'd rather get killed than let her marry an asshole like you."

I find myself at a loss for words. The fact that I don't say anything encourages Kai, and he steps back from the cage, smirking. "You have till tomorrow morning to decide, princess. Otherwise," Kai makes a gesture towards Jungkook and then runs his finger across his throat. I step back, releasing the bars and Kai exits the room, leaving six of his guards behind. I huff out a breath.

Jungkook grabs my arm, "You're not getting married to him, no matter what happens." And although I want to, something forces me not to say any words of agreement.

Jungkook releases my arm and ruffles his hair, backing up towards the corner of the room. His eyes were closed shut and he looked like he was trying to think. I sit down on the floor, clutching my knees to my chest and burying my head in them. I don't know what to do, I can't just let them die.

All of a sudden, I feel arms wrap around me. My eyes widen as I look up, realising that Jungkook was embracing me from the back. He was sat on his knees, arms around me and chin on my head. He mumbles, "We're gonna be fine, you're gonna be fine." I wanna cry right now.

As I'm in his arms, my head swirls with a thousand emotions all at once. When feeling his warmth, my heartbeat suddenly immediately calmed down and I felt more relaxed than I would have been on my own. I gasp on the inside as I come to a revelation; I like Jeon Jungkook. Shit.

I turn my face upwards to the left in order to look at him, and he looks down at me. I stare into his eyes, and at this moment I notice all his features. His perfect jawline, his brown coloured almond eyes, his skin which was clear except for a small scar on his right cheek under his eye, his defined nose and uneven lips. I take in everything, because I don't know when I'm gonna see him again.

I watch as Jungkook moves his face closer towards me, and I do the same. Our noses brush together, and I close my eyes. Finally, his lips touch mine. The kiss lasts for around 30 seconds, before we both pull back. I feel myself getting sleepy, and I lean back in Jungkook's chest.

His arms wrap around mine, and before he goes to sleep, I hear him whisper,

"I love you."

My eyes shut before I could reply.
