chapter 13

"YOU ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM HERE! IT'S YOU WHO RUINED MY LIFE!"His voice was a thunderous roar, shaking the very walls around them. Y/n's fingers trembled as they loosened their grip on his collar. She flinched at his outburst, her breath catching in her throat. The sheer force of his words hit her like a slap, cutting deep into her chest.She flinched, stepping back as if the force of his words physically pushed her. Her chest tightened, air refusing to reach her lungs. Jungkook's eyes burned with a storm of anger-anger that had been bottled up for far too long. But beneath the fury, there was something else. Something darker."You took everything from me."Y/N blinked, confusion knitting her brows together. What was he talking about? Wasn't she the one who lost everything? She stood frozen. She snatched everything from him! Everything? No. That wasn't right. If anyone had lost everything, it was her. She had given up her dreams, her happiness, her heart-all for a marriage she never chose.Her father, her freedom, even her happiness-didn't all of it vanish the day she became his wife?Yet, here he was, spitting those very words at her.Jungkook cast her a sharp glance, his jaw clenched. His hands twitched at his sides as if barely restraining himself from reaching for her again.His dark eyes bore into hers, filled with something raw and unspoken. But before she could search for answers, he pushed her away, turning his back as though he couldn't stand the sight of her.But before it, he exhaled sharply and turned away, as if the sight of her was too much to bear.The silence between them stretched, suffocating and heavy.She watched him, frozen. The weight of his accusations suffocated her, pressing down on her chest like an invisible force."You snatched everything from me," he repeated, quieter this time, but the venom in his voice was unmistakable.Y/n swallowed, her throat dry, her mind spinning. She searched his face for answers, but all she found was pure resentment."Me?" Her voice was barely above a whisper. "What did I take from you, Jungkook? Tell me, because I don't understand. I never asked for anything from you. I never once-"Her voice cracked, hoarse with the emotions she was trying to contain.She had spent every night praying for his happiness, even when he never looked her way. She had wished for him to find peace, even when her own heart was crumbling.Jungkook laughed, a hollow, bitter sound,void of warmth. "What's the use of your prayers when you're the reason my life is a nightmare?" He spat. "What's the point of your so-called kindness when it has already destroyed everything I ever wanted, when you are the one who took away my happiness?"The hatred in his voice made her legs weak. She staggered back.Her lips trembled as she shook her head, taking an unconscious step back. "No. No, that's not true," she whispered. "I only ever wanted your happiness. I-"Jungkook took a step closer, his anger palpable. He hated the confusion on her face, the way she stood there as if she had no idea what she had done. It only made his fury burn hotter.His hands gripped her shoulders, stopping her retreat. His hold was firm, almost desperate, and when she looked into his eyes, she saw it-the pain. The pain he was trying so hard to bury under his anger."It's not a lie, Y/N. You ruined everything." His voice cracked. "Because of you, I lost my first love. Because of you, we were torn apart!"The words shattered something inside her.Her breath hitched. His first love?She had never known. Never imagined.Y/n gasped softly, her heart clenching. "I... I didn't know," she stammered. "Jungkook, I swear, I didn't know you loved someone else."She whispered, her voice barely above a breath. "If I had known, I would have never-"But Jungkook wasn't listening. He grabbed her shoulders, holding her still, forcing her to face the truth he had buried inside for too long.His breathing was ragged. His eyes, filled with a past she had never been a part of, burned into her soul."It doesn't matter whether you knew or not! The fact remains that it all happened because of you," He hissed. "My father chose you over my happiness. He forced this marriage. And because of that, I lost her. I lost the only person I ever loved."His words sliced her apart. Her body shook under his hold. Her mind reeled with the weight of his words.She felt like she was drowning, suffocating in the weight of his accusations. If he hadn't been holding her, she might have collapsed right then and there."And not just that," he continued, his voice lower but no less venomous. "Because of you, I lost my parents too. Do you know what it's like to have them choose you over their own son? To watch them care more about you than they ever did about me?"Y/N felt as if the ground had been pulled from beneath her.She had lost her father. She had thought she was alone.But now she realized-Jungkook had lost something too. And in his eyes, it was because of her.If he hadn't been forced to marry her, would he still be with his love? If her father hadn't died, would Mr. Jeon have never taken her in?Would their lives have been different?Better?She felt her knees weaken, and Jungkook must have felt it too because he held her up even as he spoke words that shattered her.Her voice wavered as she whispered, "I never wanted to take anything from you. If I had known... If I had even the slightest idea that you already belonged to someone else, I never would have agreed to this."She whispered, her forehead resting against his. Jungkook exhaled sharply,his breath fanning over her face, his eyes filled with so much hurt that it was unbearable to look at him. "But it's too late, isn't it? The damage is done."His voice softened, but not in kindness. It was the kind of softness that came when a heart was too shattered to keep screaming."There's nothing you can do now. I just wish I had never met you. That was the worst moment of my life.The words landed like a physical blow, making her stumble back.Her lips trembled. "Do you really regret it that much?"She felt her heart cave in on itself, the pain so sharp it stole her ability to breathe. He had hated her all this time-but to this extent?Jungkook stepped back, running a shaky hand through his hair, his frustration pouring out in deep, uneven breaths.He didn't answer. He didn't have to.The pain in his eyes was answer enough."I wish I could go back," he whispered, more to himself than to her. "I wish I could change everything. Maybe then, we would both be happy. Maybe then, I wouldn't be trapped in this hell."The silence that followed was deafening.Y/N's heart clenched. He regretted her.Not just their marriage, but her.Y/n didn't realize she was crying until she felt the wetness trail down her cheeks. She looked at him, hoping-praying-that he would take it back. That something in him would soften.But he didn't.He turned away, roughly wiping his own tears before walking out the door, slamming it behind him.And just like that, she was alone.Her knees gave out, and she sank to the floor, her sobs shaking her entire body.Tears dripped onto the floor, silent witnesses to her heartbreak.She had never wanted this. She had never wished for this.If she had known about his love, she would have walked away. If she had known that marrying him would bring him so much misery, she would have refused.But she hadn't known.And now, it was too late.Maybe, just maybe, if she had asked Jungkook's opinion before the wedding, neither of them would be in this mess. Maybe he wouldn't have lost his love. Maybe he wouldn't hate her this much.She had thought this marriage would give her a reason to live again after her father's death.Instead, it had only given her pain.But if Jungkook believed she had stolen his happiness...Then what about her?She had lost everything too.Her father. Her freedom. Her right to choose.And worst of all-her heart.Didn't she lose something too?Didn't she lose herself?She had loved Jungkook. Perhaps it was foolish, perhaps it was selfish, but her love had always been selfless.She had loved him without expecting anything in return.And yet, all she received was his hatred.A love that was never meant to be.A love that only brought suffering.And yet... she still loved him.Selflessly.Hopelessly.And now, she was left with nothing.Just a love that had never been returned.A love that was never her's. I loved you with a heart so true,Yet all I gained was losing you.🤧🤧 Don't Curse Jungkook,he is also sufferingHaaah now will happen?What will y/n do now?Hope you all had like it 💜Tell me ok 🥺Your Coconut 🥥
