"Run Y/n!"
No one had to tell me twice to run from him. My legs acted quicker than my mind did.
Even though Beom Hyeon was injured, he managed to chase us, dragging his lagging limb with him. It was his leg that was impaired, not his hands. Therefore he was still capable of shooting at us.
Not to mention that Beom Heyon once was a skillful assassin. I remembered how well he used to handle guns.
Jungkook dragged me to the crowd, where the man who was chasing us couldn't create a scene. I was clinging to Jungkook with a thumping heart. I was scared to even breathe loudly because of the feeling that Heyon would appear behind us and would kill us both.
He scanned around carefully and made me enter the passage for the first class. Since most of the crowd was busy getting into lifeboats, they did not pay much attention to us who were not part of their residents. We both stayed hidden in the shadow of the big passage. Jungkook tiptoed to check at the deck where Beom Hyeon was furiously gritting teeth and stomping towards the crowd to find us.
It won't be long before he catches the wind of us.
My trembling lips brushed against Jungkook's ears, talking in a tone filled with regret and agony.
"Jungkook, I'm sorry, I really am..." My cold cheeks were wet from the fat tears that rolled down from my sockets.
Jungkook stopped scrutinizing the area and shifted his gaze to me with a deeply concerned look. I couldn't stop my tears from escaping. My tongue tasted the salty tears that traced along my pale skin.
"Y/n..."
"Look what I have done, I put your life in danger. Now that devil is after you as well, it's because of me..." my cracked voice faded as I spoke. I tighten my eyelids, shedding tears of guilt and anxiety.
"Shsh, listen to me, love," he softly talked to me, placing his palm under my chin. I looked up at him with glistening tears.
It always gets me when he calls me love, it is sweeter and more flattering than any other word. It was warm, and I felt closer. I felt like I was his, I was his Y/n.
"It's never your fault, it never was and it'll never be your fault. Do you know the best thing that ever happened in my life?" he asked with a smile stretching his thin lips. I shook my head with a sulky expression drawn on my face.
"Being the captain of the Titanic, that's the best thing that ever happened to me." Jungkook's arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer to his embrace. His big hand was stroking my head, pressing me against his body.
"That's because it led me to you Y/n, the only person I can think about is you," his thumb swept away the rolling tear from my cheek. Jungkook's beautiful hearty smile didn't leave his lips as he talked.
No matter how scary the situation we were in, he was able to ease both my heart and mind with his delicate words. It was mesmerizing how this human could bring me that much tranquillity and comfort with only a few words.
"Do you remember the day you saved little Lilian Harper?" he gazed at me.
His eyes dazzled like thousands of stars shimmering in the night. Just like the day we first met. Those big doe eyes held countless expressions that he couldn't let out by words.
I nodded with a small smile.
"How could I forget? It's the very first day we met. "
"It was the first day I fell in love with you Y/n," when he said my heart was flattered like it was the first day we kissed.
"When I looked into your eyes, I felt something very deep, from that day onwards, I was falling deeper and deeper..."
We both stared at the sky as a firework lit up the dark sky. The crew was sending signals to get assistance from whoever they could. By sending signals they were trying to make it easy for them to spot the Titanic in the middle of the Atlantic.
Even though it was a tragic moment, it felt utopian to me. With the fallen light on his face, Jungkook shone handsomely. His fallen messy black hair and big doe eyes, his ocean-like deep eyes made his face look gorgeous with the rays of glow plunging to him.
His smile filled my heart with adoration.
"What did I ever do deserve you Jungkook?" I slowly leaned my head on his chest, gazing up at his orbs.
He didn't only save me physically, he also helped me break free from the horrific mental prison I kept myself locked in. When I was lost in a maze without having the simplest idea of what would happen to my life next, this person lit up my path.
He filled me with love and hope.
He was the one who showed me what devotion is. Like the fireworks lit up the dark blue sky that day, just like the ocean reflected the colorful night sky, he painted my monotonous life. When I was drained of the toxicity of my family and the ruthless society I lived in, Jungkook was the one who had faith in me, he was the one who depicted what love is.
Jeon Jungkook is the most precious and the most romantic person a woman could get herself. And I was that lucky girl who crossed paths with him.
He let me stay the way I stood for a few minutes before he held me by my shoulders and tilted his head down. His lips tasted delicate more than any other day. My eyes closed with the feeling of his parted lips meeting mine.
"We have to go, no matter what happens we are going to survive this Y/n," I nodded with agreement as his keen voice spoke to me.
"Come on, we have to move. We'll approach the other end from under the deck and find a boat for us" his words made me feel relieved.
"Stick with me, don't let go of my hand do you understand Y/n?"
"I understand "
Seeing that Beom Hyeon was getting closer to where we were lying low, Jungkook quietly footed toward the passage along the deck, gesturing me to follow him. The metal gate was locked from the inside, preventing others except the first class from entering the upper decks. We unlocked it, making our way downstairs.
I suddenly flinched from the loud and deep cracking noise.
"She's going down fast" Jungkook paused climbing down and looked up at the front end of the ship which was already leaning toward the sea than previously it was.
We had to move fast.
"Come on let's go," Jungkook gripped my hand, taking one last glance at the crowd who were busy getting on lifeboats.
Lifeboat #01 was already launched to the sea carrying only twenty-eight passengers in a boat where they could carry more than sixty-five. Most of the first-class women were scattered in the boat, including the famous Molly Brown, who later on they called the unsinkable woman. According to me, the only woman who lived down to earth among the majority of typical arrogant women who didn't have the slightest idea of the value of a human life.
We almost reach the bottom of the staircase before meeting with the aroused rasp of the furious man.
"I'm going to end you before the ship takes you down." he cursed under his breath before shooting at us. The bullet pierced the white roof right after we managed to slide our bodies inside.
"We have to get to the other passage in the back, " Jungkook gazed at me. From far away, we heard the continuous gunshots of the maniac who was hunting us down. The unique sound when he produced while dragging his injured leg down, made it easy to recognize him from afar.
His best days were no longer. From Hyeon was weak. Which gave us a chance to escape him.
"The corridors might be underwater by now, " I gulped as he said. Hearing about the cold water made my skin raise goosebumps. He cupped both my cheeks,
"Are you scared love?" he looked into my eyes. I tried to be strong. At least for him, I had to be strong.
"I'll be fine," he smiled as I said.
"That's my girl," he left a gentle peck on my forehead before tugging me along with him inside the corridor.
"It's a ship Y/n! It's a fucking ship and you can't hide forever," Hyeon's fierce voice echoed through the empty hallways.
"Quick! The elevator!" Jungkook looked at the figure who emerged from the stairs which we had previously taken. We both ran towards the series of elevators and got inside one, making the operator flinch.
Bullets pierced through the spaces of the metallic gates of the fancy old-fashioned elevator. The operator stared at us with horror, standing like a mere statue. He was startled by the gunshots booming through the area.
"Take us down!" Jungkook demanded.
"But-" he was reluctant.
"Didn't you hear me? Take this thing down! " Jungkook snapped at him. That made the stunned man's hands work. We both lowered our heads to protect ourselves from the shower of bullets from above.
As the elevator went about two floors when we were about to arrive at the third floor cold water started flooding into the small room we three were in. The operator screeched in horror.
"We have to go back!"
"No, we can't! That man will blow our head to pieces" Jungkook's words were firm. The young operator had no other option but to take us to the third floor.
"Holy shit it's cold!" my back collided with the wall behind me as I tried to avoid contact with the cold water.
The water level was up to our knees as we got down from the floor.
"I can't stay! I'm going up!" promptly the man who took us down as soon as we got down. The water soaked my dress as I kept my foot down.
"Damn it, it's freezing" Jungkook mumbled and hurried me to go.
"It's right across the dining room, come on Y/n,"
As I promised, I never let go of his hand. Through the water, we did our best to run through the corridor. As we walked the water scattered. The soaked dresses made sloppy sounds as we tried to run.
I stumbled as my foot stepped on my dress. Before I fell flattened on my face, Jungkook caught me, lifting me from my elbow.
"Are you alright?" I nodded quickly.
"I'm fine, let's keep moving" My words seemed more confident than before. As Jungkook apprehended that I was okay, he continued guiding me through the corridor. My feet were feeling numb because of the cold.
The loud creaking sound as the ship moved down with the weight of the water was dreadful. It made my stomach jolt with fear. But I tried my best to shrug off the trepidation.
Jungkook suddenly paused in his tracks. His grip on my hand tightened. He took his free palm closer to his ear as he was trying to inspect some kind of sound.
"Do you hear that?"
I tried to concentrate on what he was trying to say. As I kept listening I heard a sound from afar. It sounded more like a rumble as it got even closer. Well, we didn't have to wait for long before catching a glimpse of the source of the sound.
"Oh my god," my eyes widened seeing an army of people running straight towards us.
"Bloody hell..."
