Chapter 1
Jungkook: I’m already happy with that.
If someday I have to die for YN, I’ll do it gladly… without a second thought.
Maria: But still Jungkook, your years-long best friend is choosing—
(Before Maria could complete her sentence, YN interrupted her.)
Yn: One minute Maria… I haven’t finished my words yet.
(As soon as she said that, everyone looked at her in confusion. All eyes were now on her. Then she spoke again, calmly… but with eyes full of meaning.)
Yn: Yes, if during a dangerous moment, and I had only one choice… I would save Taehyung.
But—(she looked at Jungkook softly and smiled just a little)
I… I would die with Jungkook.
Because if he’s not there… then I don’t want to be either.
(As soon as she said that, Jungkook stared at her without blinking, then gently pulled her into his arms. Truly… no matter how much someone tries, the love, the trust, the respect they hold for each other—can never be erased. It's too deep in their hearts.)
(Hearing her words, Maria started clenching her teeth in anger. This was not what she wanted. What she planned and what actually happened—were totally opposite. Now her anger was boiling up straight into her head.)
(But Taehyung stayed quiet. He didn’t smile, nor did he show any reaction. As if YN’s answer didn’t please him at all. But why? After all, she had chosen him, right? Then what was bothering him?)
(Was it because... even after choosing to save him, YN still preferred dying with Jungkook over living with him? Who knows what storm was going on inside his heart…)
(But despite such an emotional answer, Jungkook still looked at her strictly and said.)
Jungkook: How many times have I told you… not to say things about dying? Why don’t you ever listen to me?
