The Morning That Should’ve Been Normal

You woke tangled in Yoongi’s arms, the sheets still warm from last night’s vows whispered between fevered kisses.

He brushed his thumb over your cheek. “What if we just stayed here forever?”

You smiled. “You’d get bored.”

He kissed your collarbone. “Not of you.”

The Raid

Then—a crash.

The front door shattered.

Camera flashes. Screams. Security in black suits.

Yoongi was yanked from the bed. You screamed, covering yourself, trying to reach him.

He fought them. Hard.

But they outnumbered him.

“Min Yoongi is in violation of national security contracts. He is to be detained for investigation.”

“Y/N is to be returned to her family per formal complaint and investigation of fraud.”

Fraud.

That word made your blood freeze.

You locked eyes with him as they dragged you both.

His last words before the car door slammed—

“Don’t believe anything they say.”

The Past That Refused to Stay Buried

They didn’t take you home.

They took you back.

To the house you escaped.

To him—the man your family once promised you to.

Aryan Roy.

Rich. Cold. Vengeful.

And now, more powerful than ever.

“You embarrassed me in front of the world. I warned your family.”

“But now you’ll fix it. You’ll marry me this time—publicly. Or Min Yoongi loses everything.”

You spat at his feet. “You’ll never have me.”

He leaned closer. “Then he dies alone, forgotten. And your family goes down with him.”

The Goodbye That Shattered You

You were allowed one call.

Yoongi answered.

His voice was bruised. Tired. But still him.

“They’re pinning it all on me, angel. Saying I faked the marriage. That I seduced you for fame.”

“Tell me you don’t believe them.”

“I don’t. I never will.”

Silence.

Then softly—his voice cracked.

“Don’t let them break you. Promise me that.”

“I won’t.”

You hesitated.

And whispered the words that tasted like pain and fire—

“I’ll burn it all down before I lose you.”
