I'll wait for you, let's start over

┗━•❃°•°❀°•°❃•━┛

The following morning, Jungkook was extremely rested.He slept quite soundly.

The previous day, he attended the Conference and even met a few new acquaintances and possible clients. Looking into the room's full-length mirror, he smirked to himself. He was dressed in all-black, with his hair styled backwards. He is well aware of how attractive he looked.

The French bells were giving him all kinds of craving looks when he went out for drinks with a possible prospective client last night. Very elegant women practically forgot their virtue when they brought him expensive bottles of wine, which his client in Dubai was happily savoring. The overly eager women who wanted to latch on on were not worth his attention... they were like a virus.

He was eager to unwind after the demanding two-day conference and spend his final few days with his grandma, who was staying in the same hotel as him.

He snorts when he remembers his domineering but spirited granny. It's amazing how closely they are bonded. His grandfather, as well as her late only son, shared the same facial traits.

He'll be having breakfast on the terrace this morning with his grandmother, in her presidential suite.

She will only stay for an additional two days before he follows her to her mansion in Mersailles. His male PA will go back to Seoul and complete some of his work-related tasks there. Jungkook felt relieved that he will be out of office, away from his Eomma and Sullia who already tried to sat a date for the wedding. He scoffed, nobody will force him to get married so soon. His main priority is to make sure his sister is mentally healed. The divorce took a heavy toll on her emotionally.

His ex- brother-in-law already let his mistress moved into his new apartment. He felt like killing that sly fox from hurting his timid and sensitive sister like that. Eunjin look more stressed than usual even if she and his little nephew moved to start afresh in Ulsan. Working from home might be the best for her to forget and to be free from his mothers' scrutiny. Perhaps he can persuade her to take a much-needed visit to France where she and Kwan can visit his grandma.

It's strange that he doesn't understand why he felt such elation. He typically feels worn-out out after traveling every branch of their company globally, but today he appeared rejuvenated. He ascribed it to getting a good night's sleep, a two-day conference that went well, and the fact that the rest of the day would be spent with an Elite acquaintance.

His grandmother's devoted PA greeted him warmly as he entered their suite. She will go back to the Villa and interact with his grandmother's publishers there.

She was relaxing on the terrace and savoring the breathtaking view of the Parisian landmark.She looked to be quite satisfied and cheerful. The two chefs preparing the breakfast meal were being told by her PA how she desired her eggs.

When he emerged on the patio, she grinned widely and said, "Good morning, Guks. You appear energized this morning."

With a chuckle, he gives her with a courteous bow and gives her a single cheek kiss, saying, "Good morning, grams. Yes, I had a great night's sleep.For the first time in a few weeks." She gave him a plate, and he sat down next to her.

"Eat my boy, I've ordered fresh seasonal fruit and a refreshing champangne to celebrate." She beamered. She appeared quite youthful in her expensive pink and white printed Dior outfit. Her short silver grey haircut and perfect makeup are both amazing for her age, and even the pink diamond accessories she wore indicated at her wealth. His grandmother is unquestionably a unique character.

"What are we celebrating?" he said with his face beaming. He raises one of his brows. His granny only flashes a beautiful grin. Her gaze flits across her grandson's features. She could not help but miss her late son each time she glanced at him and Eujin.They resembles their dad Quite attractive and a catch.

She doesn't want him to get married so soon because he is still so young. He has an wide variety of potential pedigree spouses to pick from, but he is sure that he will never wed for love. for convenience.

"Well, that obnoxious Kim Namjoon will at last publish Moonlight in Paris at long last. I send him the finishing touches of the ending chapters." she smugly inform him.

He chuckled, knowing that Namjoon was at his wits end to get that book delayed for as long as possible. But it looks like his grandmother won the war this time. She is so cunning. He suspects she found out about his attempt to let her change most plot scenes. He knows her novel is loosely based on his and Jennas love affair. He inwardly snort and wondered what her ending for her two leads will be, because he and Jennas love story ended eons of year's ago.

He dish himself some fruit and something light,"Hmm congrats grams. I'm sure it will be a massive hit---"he murmur sarcastically. His grandmother just burst out of laughter.

"So, what is your plans today. You look very handsome and upbeat."she looked at him questioning.

He smirk as he drink some of the ice cold champagne," "Oh, an acquaintance of Bangtan Elites found out I'll be here in Paris. He wants us to spend the day on his yacht as well as relaxed at his French Riviera penthouse. He just came from an Italian Car racing championships."

His grandma smile," Is he a racer...that is a very dangerous sport."

Jungkook grinned," He loves it. Gervais is a daredevil. He loves speed and I think he invested in another multi million dollar sportscar." Jungkook chuckled when he thought about Gervais, whom was introduced by Hoseok. He and his hyung were lifelong friends since their youth.

Their friend lives in Cote d' Azur who hailed from one of the most affluent and wealthiest families in France. Gervais only dated heiresses and supermodels.

Gervais sent a designated driver to pick him up after a great breakfast with his grandma.

The scenery was amazing and fascinating, and the drive to his friend was really serene. Since his grandma left the Busan mansion to his dad and his Eomma around ten years ago when she moved, he has grown to love Paris. The Busan family house is where his older brother and his family reside. His Eomma now resides in a second residence in Seoul with her entourage, much like a true royal lady. When he and Sullia get married, she wants him to live with her.

He only scoffed if he wanted to live with his Eomma. She gave Eunjin hell in that house after his sister stayed with her for a few weeks during her divorce settlements.

Gervais was a gracious host. They sailed on his yacth for most of the day, had a very light carviar and BBQ luncheon which his personal chef prepared for them on the yacht. Typical Gervais he had two supermodels on board. They were scantility dressed in tiny bikinis who were just relaxing on the deck enjoying the blazing sun on their thin and toned bodies.

Gervais girlfriend, Aziza who was a beautiful dark haired and light grey eyed Lebonese model introduced her blonde , blue eyed friend, Gal to Jungkook. The friend eyes where widen with open admiration at the sexiest Asian guy she ever had the pleasure of meeting.

She was extremely 'nice', but Gervais only grinned and informed her that her new "crush" was a taken man. Despite her disappointment, she continued to flirt with him. She was aware that, in the end, Jungkook would give in to her charms since, after all, a man is just a man.

Jungkook merely shook his head. He won't hook with random girls for fun, even though his relationship with Sullia is primarily platonic. That might be Gervais and Jimin's hobby, but not his. Especially if you come from a Chaebol family, getting physically involved with foreign girls will get you into trouble.
So, no thanks. His standards are not disgracefully low. The unfortunate Gal was forced to take in the bitter oil that this hot specimen is not too eager to spend a fun night with her.

He spent that period alone at Gervais' apartment on Boulevard de la Croisette. They spent a fantastic afternoon together. They discussed their businesses, the Bangtan Elites, and their business relationships. Jungkook was able to relax completely.

As a quick afternoon snack, Gervais' personal housekeeper offered them Brizillian coffee and Canistrelli, a kind of biscotti-style biscuit with an almond, honey, and olive oil basis.

In the company of his friend, Jungkook felt incredibly at ease. He needed to release some pressure.

Jungkook had an upbeat expression, and Gervais grinned at him.,"So, Kook. Have you chosen a date for your wedding yet? Because we are still awaiting Hoseok and Jessica's long overdue nuptials."
.
"Gerv...no," murmured Jungkook," I'm not ready yet, even though we recently got engaged".

Gervais smirk and waggle his eyebrows," Why not. You will have a wife and constant romance before you start your family. She looks like a lovely girl. Marrying your best friend is so romantically cliche. But if I could marry my best friend we would have a very explosive relationship. So we are better off as friends---"

Jungkook furrowed his brows and said, "Oh my...You mentioned that she is of Asian descent, according to Hoseok. But you never gave us her name or introduced her to the club."

"We haven't spoken since our accident a few years ago," Gervais sighed profoundly." I really miss Noémie since she is the one female who truly gets me. But her parents forced her to quit our relationship because I was responsible for the tragedy that left her and our other best friend gravely injured and my best buddy dead", he said with a strained voice. Because he could tell that was an extremely delicate subject for him, Jungkook refrained from asking him about it.

"Well, as you probably already know, my marriage is an example of a marriage of convenience. There is no underlying romantic love or affection. Sullia is my safe haven because I've experienced my fair share of heartbreak there. I'll ensure that she has everything she needs, give her the child she desires, and devote my entire life to expanding my company."

When they discussed the girls who eventually turned out to be their enemies, Gervais saw the sudden hardening of Jungkook's eyes, which he had also noticed in Taehyung, his other friend.

"Guks, please don't give up on love-try to love your fiance because she deserves to be loved passionately by her future husband". He said with a little bit of conviction, "She will require not only your body, but also your heart.

"Gerv," scowled Jungkook. "She is already aware that I am unable to satisfy her emotional needs." He said with pursed lips, "I've already experienced intense love and major injury...and the girl who wounded me cruelly will move on with her life with no remorse.

"Er, Jungkook, do you still love her," Gervais murmured," I'm talking about your ex."

"Gerv, it's so darn hard to really move on", Jungkook said with his large bunny eyes slightly misty. He took a big breath and gazed down at his half-full coffee mug. "She is still living rent free in my mind...and heart---"

Although Gervais is thoughtful and allowed him to be himself in front of their friends, Jungkook was aware that he had been deceiving to himself and others. Jenna is the only girl that makes him feel vulnerable.

Jungkook exhaled hard, "I...still hate her...but simultaneously love her with all my heart...and I'm afraid that I'm still imprisoned by her and there seemed to be no escape for me---" as he glanced up into his friend's soft, emerald-glow eyes. After confessing it to someone outside of his familiar tight circle, he felt almost a sense of relief-the first time in months-as if the weight had been lifted.

"I envy you right now," Gervais said with a wary smile, "since millions of people live merely to find real love once in a lifetime. For once, I want that deeply moving, intense, and enduring love."

"Such passion often comes with great pain", Jungkook smiled wryly,".So rejoice that you were spared the sting of that suffocating love."

When he was left off at his hotel, it was almost five o'clock. He cleverly ignored the numerous texts he received for his mother and fiancé. He's come to get the most out of his little getaway. While still enjoying a Chai Spa, his grandmother texted him to say she would see him at six.

He didn't notice the cheerful elegantly dressed girl who had just walked into the extravagant lobby with some shopping bags as he entered the elevator to the sixth floor.
