FAKELOVE OR TRUELOVE ❤️‍🩹 [CHAPTER -13 ]

 

Author’s POV:

And just like that, the day truly began.The warm morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, dancing across Y/n’s room. After a few peaceful moments, she finally got up, stretching with a soft sigh. Another day of university—but something about today felt... different. Maybe it was just the weather, or maybe, something else was about to unfold.

She took her time getting ready, slipping into an outfit that reflected her mood—simple, yet effortlessly stylish. As she stepped outside, the unexpected sound of cheerful voices greeted her.

There they were.

Her friends—Sia and Pihu—standing by the gate, waiting, with wide smiles on their faces.

Y/n : Ohh! You guys were waiting for me? You didn’t even tell me we were meeting today!

Sia (grinning): Nope. We thought we’d give you a surprise today.

Pihu (playfully): Girl, you are looking hot today. Want to ditch college and go on a date with me instead?

Y/n (laughing): You’re crazy! This is just my style—I just wore what felt right.

There was a kind of effortless joy between them, a comfort that made the air feel lighter. Y/n’s heart warmed—moments like these reminded her why friendships were such a beautiful part of life.

Without further delay, the trio set off for university, walking through bustling streets, laughing at inside jokes, teasing each other along the way. The sun continued to shine, almost as if the day itself knew something special was about to happen.

Just as they entered the campus gates, Y/n’s phone buzzed in her bag. She paused, fishing it out.

Unknown Number.

She raised a brow but answered anyway.

Y/n (curious): Hello? Who’s this?

A familiar giggle rang through the speaker.

Sadia (teasingly): Wow. You’ve already forgotten me?

Y/n : Sadia! How could I forget you? You were my very first friend when I came to Korea!

Sadia: That’s what I like to hear. And guess what? I’ve got a surprise planned for you today.

Y/n (intrigued): A surprise? Alright then, I’ll be waiting. You better not keep me hanging!

They hang up, and Y/n can’t help but feel a tingle of curiosity and excitement.

Meanwhile, at the V Base…

A sleek room filled with quiet urgency. V stood by the large glass window, arms crossed, eyes focused yet distant. Behind him, Jimin lounged on the couch, scrolling through his phone.

V (serious): Jimin, I need to talk to you. I want tighter security around her. I don’t trust my enemies… not even a little.

Jimin (smirking without looking up): Her? Or me? Aww, you care so much about me. You’re such a sweet friend.

V (deadpan): Shorty, you’ve been getting way too sarcastic lately. I meant Y/n. I want guards keeping an eye on her, discreetly but effectively.

Jimin (sitting up now): Ah, got it. Her. Don't worry—I’ll send a few trusted ones right away. They’ll shadow her from a distance.

V : Good. I’m counting on you.

The tension in V’s eyes didn’t ease. There was something he knew—something dangerous that Y/n didn’t.

Back at the University…

Students buzzed through the halls, filling classrooms with chatter and chaos. Y/n, Sia, and Pihu made their way to their lecture hall, still giggling over something silly Pihu had said.

Then, the professor walked in. The room fell into a respectful hush.

Professor (clearing throat): Alright, students. Today, we’re joined by someone new. A transfer student. This is her first day here, so please be welcoming.

Y/n : What kind of transfer student makes us wait this long?

Pihu : Exactly! Who is she? And why the suspense?

The professor smiled knowingly and turned toward the door.

Professor: Miss, please come in.

Every head turned toward the entrance as footsteps echoed softly. The door creaked open.

Y/n’s eyes widened the moment she saw who stepped inside.

 

Professor - ahem introduce yourself miss

 

Sadia - hello everyone I'm sadia and I'm transferred from another college to here please get along with me it's nice to meet you all .

After that Sadiya went near y/n's seat and spoke after going there

 

Sadia – why are you shocked and how is my surprise ?

Y/n - you're so bad sadia you didn't even tell me that you're coming here 

Sadia - aish leave it seems I'm here now be happy 

After that finishing their classes everyone went to home .

In y/n home

There was a sound of a call coming when y/n picked it up and saw that taehyung had done it .

Y/n - Hello, tell me why you called me Taehyung - I will come in the evening, if we go for engagement shopping then be ready Y/n- ok we will be ready 

Author’s POV

Later that night, V made a call to Jimin, asking for updates about the mission. Jimin confirmed that he had already sent over all the information.

V: “I’ve cross-checked everything myself and used the map to pinpoint all the places where Jack has planted bombs. Yes… I only found out yesterday after digging a little deeper. Jack placed the explosives at these locations.”

Without wasting a second, V quickly dialed another number. The line connected.

V: “Hello, Mark. I’ve sent you some crucial information along with a map. Check it now.”

Mark: “Yes, King. I just saw it.”

V: “Good. Now listen carefully. I need you to take at least 100 to 150 men and pass this information to all of them. Make sure the bombs at those locations are defused immediately.”

Mark: “Understood, King. But what’s the purpose of the map with marked locations that you sent separately?”

V: “Ah, now we’re getting to the real game. Listen closely.”

Mark: “Yes, King. I’m listening.”

V: “Once your team clears all the bombs from the locations I initially told you about… you’ll plant those same bombs at the new locations marked on the second map.”

Mark (smirking): “That’ll be done easily, King.”

V: “That’s what I expect from you. I’ll handle the rest.”

V cut the call. Night had fallen, and now he had to go to the most critical location—Jack’s factory. That’s where he himself would plant the final bomb.

A Few Hours Later

Standing in the shadows outside the factory, V whispered to himself:

V: “It’s done here. The real game will begin tomorrow.”

At Y/N’s Apartment

Sia: “Y/niee! How long will you take to get ready? Hurry up!”

Y/N: “Ughh… I feel so lazy right now. But fine, I’m going. I’ll be ready in a few minutes.”

After a while, Y/N emerged from her room, dressed and ready to go. Just as she stepped out, her phone started ringing. It was Taehyung.

Y/N (answering the call): “Hello, Tae? What’s up?”

Taehyung: “Hello, Y/niee. Listen, come downstairs quickly. I’m already here outside your place.”

Y/N: “Okay, okay. I’m coming in five minutes. Let’s go, Sia. Or else we’ll get late.”

Sia: “Exactly! That’s what I’ve been saying since the start.”

As they headed to the door and opened it to leave, they were startled to see two familiar faces standing outside—Pihu and Sadia.

Sadia: “What are you looking at like that? We’re coming too! We need to do some shopping for your engagement, remember? And I’ve brought my car.”

Y/N: “Alright, then let’s go. Pihu, you go with Sadia.”

Pihu: “Sure, Y/N.”

All of them went downstairs together and got into their cars to head to the mall.

Inside the Car

Sia: “Hey, Jungkook! You’re coming too?”

Jungkook: “Yeah, Hyung asked me to join, so here I am.”

Sia: “Oh really, Rabbit?”

Jungkook: “Oye! Who are you calling a rabbit? I’m powerful! I’m a muscle bunny—wait, no—I mean muscle man!”

Sia: laughs loudly “You just called yourself a bunny! I didn’t even need to say it.”

Jungkook: “Ha ha, very funny. Now let’s go already.”

Taehyung: “Yes, please! I’ve just been waiting for all of you to finish your chatter so we can leave.”

Y/N: “Come on now, let’s go, Tae.”

Taehyung: “Of course, baby.”

Jungkook (grinning): “Oh look at that! He told us to shut up but he started his own romantic drama.”

Taehyung: “Shut up, Jungkook!”

With laughs and playful banter, the group finally left for their shopping trip.

At the Mall Entrance

After a while, they arrived at the mall. As they got out of the car, two people suddenly froze with surprise.

Jungkook: “You?!”

Sadia: “You?!”

Taehyung & Y/N (in unison): “Wait—what’s going on? Will someone tell us?”

Sia/Pihu (together): “Yeah, we want to know too. What’s happening?”

Author’s POV:

The cool evening breeze rustled through the bustling city streets as lights twinkled like stars trapped in glass. Inside the grand hall of the luxurious shopping mall, the soft murmur of conversations echoed, mixing with laughter and the occasional chime of footsteps on polished tiles.

The group stood near the escalators—old friends, new acquaintances, and a strange, unfinished tension in the air.

Sadia: That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you! What are you doing here?

Jungkook: I came here with my hyung. It's his engagement today. But… why are you here?

Sadia: Hmm. I came with a friend—her engagement is today too.

Y/N: Wait, wait. Someone explain what exactly is going on. We’re totally lost here.

Taehyung: Yeah, just spit it out already! Don’t mess with my brain.

Sia & Pihu: Ours too! (They said together, both turning to Taehyung with teasing grins.) Hurry up and tell us what nonsense you two are going on about!

Taehyung: Yaah! You two don’t tease me!

The girls burst out laughing, their laughter filling the space like a soft melody.

Sadia: Ask this Junglebook what he did to me.

Jungkook: Yaah! My name is Jungkook, not Junglebook!

Sadia: Hmm, whatever.

Flashback:

Author’s POV:

That morning, the city was already buzzing with life. Jungkook was behind the wheel, dressed in a crisp white shirt and black slacks, driving to his office. He had a lot on his mind—deadlines, meetings, and his brother’s engagement later that evening.

On the other side of the road, Sadia was returning from her newly assigned college after picking up her admission documents. Her transfer had just gone through, and the stress of change weighed heavily on her shoulders. Both were lost in their own worlds, music humming softly from their car stereos.

At an intersection near the signal, Sadia had just brought her car to a smooth stop. But Jungkook, a second too late to notice, didn’t hit the brakes in time.

Crash!

The impact wasn’t major, but it was loud enough to leave a long scratch on Sadia’s car bumper.

Sadia stepped out of her vehicle, eyes wide, jaw dropped in disbelief. She looked at the scratch and immediately bent down, gently touching it like it was a wound.

Sadia: (fake crying) My baby… what happened to you? My car!

Then she straightened up, her face twisting in fury.

Sadia: (shouting) Hey, brat! How dare you hit my car!?

Jungkook stepped out of his car, brushing his hair back with a sigh.

Jungkook: Look, it was a mistake. I’m sorry, okay? I have to get to work—

Sadia: A mistake? You think a scratch on my car is just a mistake?

Jungkook: I said I’m sorry! Why are you eating my head off?

Sadia: I’m eating your head? What about what you did to my car? Who's going to fix that?

Jungkook: I said sorry again!

Without waiting for another word, he got into his car and drove off, visibly irritated.

Sadia: (muttering under her breath) Ugh! Idiot! My car, my time, my energy—all wasted!

Flashback Ends

Sadia: And that’s what happened! Now tell me, how is it my fault? He just left me standing there after ruining my day!

Jungkook: Huh! I did say sorry, didn’t I? And I was getting late for work too. That’s why I left.

Y/N: Ugh, come on! Don’t waste all our time here. Let’s just go inside already.

They all walked into the mall together, the tension between Sadia and Jungkook still crackling in the air like static. But it slowly started melting away as everyone entered one of the trendiest showrooms. The bright lights and vibrant displays of gowns, suits, and accessories seemed to distract everyone.

The group split up—each heading toward their favorite sections. Jungkook and Taehyung went one way, Sia and Pihu another. Meanwhile, Taehyung and Y/N ended up browsing the women’s formalwear section together.

Taehyung: Y/N, look at this dress. Try this one on, will you?

Y/N: Alright, this one’s nice. I’ll go and change into it.

She took the dress and headed into the changing room. The soft fabric shimmered under the light, and she couldn’t deny—it was beautiful. But as she zipped it up, something went wrong.

Y/N: (calling out) Um… is someone there? Can someone help me, please?

She tugged at the zipper again. It was stuck halfway, refusing to move.

Taehyung: Y/N? What happened?

Without waiting for permission, Taehyung pushed the door slightly open. What he saw made him freeze in his tracks.

Author’s POV:

Y/N was standing in front of the mirror, one hand trying to pull up the zipper at her back, the other clutching the front of the dress to prevent it from slipping. Her cheeks were flushed in embarrassment, and she looked helpless yet beautiful in the half-fitted dress.

Their eyes met in the mirror.

Y/N: (embarrassed) The chain got stuck… I—I didn’t know who else to call…

Taehyung stepped closer, his voice suddenly lower, softer.

Taehyung: It’s okay… just stay still. I’ll help.

His fingers brushed against her back, trying to fix the zipper. The moment stretched—quiet, intimate. Y/N could hear her own heartbeat echoing in her ears. Taehyung’s touch was careful, gentle, and yet it made her breath hitch.

After a few tries, the zipper finally slid up smoothly. But neither of them moved.

Taehyung: There… it’s done.

Y/N: Thank you...

They both stood in silence for a moment, the air heavy with something unspoken. Then Y/N stepped away, trying to regain her composure.

Y/N: I’ll just… change back quickly.

Taehyung: (smiling faintly) Yeah. Take your time.

As he stepped out, his heart was pounding just as fast.

Meanwhile…

Back near the billing counter, Jungkook was watching Sadia from a distance as she twirled in front of the mirror in a long navy-blue gown. Even though she had snapped at him earlier, there was something charming in the way her eyes lit up when she liked a dress.

Pihu: (whispering to Jungkook) She looks pretty, doesn’t she?

Jungkook: (rolling his eyes) Tch, whatever.

Sia: You’re not fooling anyone, Jungkook.

Back inside the trial room, Y/N  was trying to zip up her dress but she can't do anything then she called someone for help.

Y/n- anyone here please come to help me 

Suddenly taehyung came inside because there was no one now when came inside he get shock after seeing the scene.
