Chapter 22

"Eomma, where is Mr. Pa.. I mean, where is Christian?" you took the place next to her. Jimin wasn't loitering around in his casuals anymore since morning and it was bothering you.
Yes, his absence was bothering you.
"He has gone for an interview."
"Interview? But-" you paused, there is no way he can give an interview for a job. He isn't someone who can give everything away, he is the CEO of one of the most influential organisation which holds its place in fortune 500 list. "Where?" you asked.
"Seoul."
"Oh." you nodded, he must be visiting his friends or must be busy with office work as he was out of office from many days.
You got up from your seat. You were already bored, you realised how much importance his existence holds in your life. All your heart wanted was to see him once. "I am sleeping." you declared, energy from your body had drained out. You just hoped that when you wake up, you will be able to see his smiling face.

"Good morning, Mr. Park." Minjun bowed as he handed the files to him. He gazed at Jimin who was looking different. His grey suit matches well with his cotton candy hair he thought. "While you were out, I took care of everything." he replied.
"Okay, I will see to it. Minjun, I won't be in office for few more days so take care of everything. Call me if you have any problem."
"Okay." saying he left.
Jimin flipped the pages, his mind was still in Incheon. Though he left the place in morning just to finish his office work but still he was restless, his mind wasn't in cabin anymore. The dedication he use to show everytime was lost somewhere. He did not wanted to leave but then he promised himself that he will back after completing some important tasks. Office work is equally important and he cannot leave his employees who are dependent on him.
"Hey.."
Jimin startled. "Oh my god... you scared me Taehyung-ah." Jimin was terrified due to his sudden entry.
Taehyung chuckled as he entered, he was laughing continuously at Jimin's state.
"Yah, what's with you? Jiminie pabo..!!" he landed on the chair infront of Jimin.
"You scared me Taehyung." Jimin repeated as he signed the last paper and then he looked at Taehyung.
"Where are you these days buddy? You aren't visiting your office anymore. You have changed." he paused as he gazed at Jimin, he scanned his face, his attire and especially his hair. "You dyed your hair?" he completed with questioning gaze
"Yeah, for a change." Jimin replied almost stuttering.
"Something is wrong with you. People generally don't change so easily and here you have changed your hair colour." Taehyung leaned back on his chair, his long slender forefinger on his lips as he suspiciously looked at him. "As per my knowledge, I know how much you love your black hair. Tell me what's wrong??"
"Ani.. everything is okay.. I just.. I.."
"Tell me already..!!" Taehyung rasped making Jimin to jump in his seat. "Yah, Jimin-ah.. I know you very well. I know what you think. I agree that it is impossible to share everything with hyungs and maknae but you can tell me. We are of same age and you shouldn't feel weird in my presence."
"Taehyung, trust me everything is-"
"Where is Eun Ae? Where are you staying these days?" Taehyung interrupted his friend. He saw how Jimin's face blanched when he asked about Eun Ae.
"She is.. well.. I don't know-"
Taehyung got up from his place, "Dude if you don't want to tell then its okay. I am no one to interfere in your life." Taehyung's shoulder slumped as he looked at Jimin with soulless eyes. "Who am I to interfere? Just a stranger... I will be leaving then.." he said as he started walking towards the door, a frown was formed on his face.
"Yah..!! Stop that drama. I am telling you everything. Sit on your place." Jimin shouted and Taehyung's boyish grin was back as he landed on his place.
"Tell me fast."
Jimin exhaled, he knew Taehyung was overly hyped man who is always ready to help and listen to any bullshït.
"Actually.. Eun Ae, sh..she resigned."
"Resigned? Why? When?"
"Few days ago." Jimin said, "..she is angry on me."
"And where were you these days?" Taehyung asked, his eyebrows snapped together.
"I am... I am.. staying as a paying guest with Eun Ae's mother and Eun Ae in Incheon."
"You..You are staying as a paying guest in her house?" Taehyung's eyes widened, he wasn't sure how should he react. "Her mother know about you?"
Jimin shook his head.
"And what do you want to prove by staying there?"
"I want to bring her back." Jimin confidently said.
Taehyung's eyes beamed, he could see sincerity on his face which he always wanted. Jimin was surely doing his best to get everything back which he had lost.
"So you are really in love huh?"
"Love?" his eyes turned into questioning gaze. "I am feeling sorry for what I did and I just wanted her to come back..I don't think that I am in love with her." he smiled with hesitation.
"You don't love her? Dude you look like a whipped man. Have you looked at yourself? You have changed your hair color, you are actually going out of your way to bring her back."
Jimin gulped, his heart wasn't ready to accept things. Though he knew he is going out of his way to bring you back but that was just because he made a mistake.
"Jimin, I don't know what has happened between you both and I don't want to dig into it but I am concerned about your feelings. Jimin, have you seen yourself? Dude, you have actually stopped coming to office just because you wanted to stay with her. You have changed your hair color and its a clear sign that you want change in your life. Dying your hair is just a small step towards change Jimin-ah."
"Taehyung, you clearly know that nowadays I feel numb, my heart feels numb and I cannot differentiate between any feelings. I am not living anymore Taehyung..." Jimin slumped in his chair, deep down he wanted peace in his life and he tried his best to bring it but he failed miserably everytime.
Taehyung sighed but then something clicked his mind and his smile returned. "Jimin, you know? I had crush on Jisoo since the time I saw her but then I was afraid and too naive to take a firm decision and listen to my heart. I ignored my feelings for long time but then something happened... one day I decided to take a decision by flipping a coin."
Jimin was seriously listening to Taehyung but then he laughed till his heart content when he heard the last statement.
"What? Why are you laughing? I am serious!! Dude, I flipped a coin and that's when I decided what I wanted in my life." Taehyung's expression grew serious.
"What are you saying Taehyung? How can a person decide what he wants just by flipping a coin?"
Taehyung let out a throaty chuckle as he leaned on the table. "The moment you flip a coin, you know what your decision is, not because of the side it will land, its because in that few seconds when the coin is in air.. you will exactly know what you are hoping for."
His words were true, Jimin felt the hair of his body rising. He laughed at Taehyung's advice but then there was a hidden meaning behind it which he failed to map.
"Dude that's why they say, When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. It works because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air you will suddenly know what you are hoping for. Isn't that simple?" Taehyung asked as he got up from his place and walked towards Jimin.
"Jimin-ah, I know you have felt the pain of one sided love. Nobody deserves to suffer the way you did. Things which happened with you were unintentional but what you are doing is intentional. Don't make someone go through the same that ruined you.. don't hurt people like that..! She deserves to be happy and even you." his hand landed on Jimin's shoulder. "Remember why you started. You are trying to change for her. You left your company just to be with her and you are saying that you are just feeling sorry for your deeds, really? Does that even make sense? If you are feeling sorry for your deeds then you should have send sorry cards, flowers or visited her on daily basis to apologize but instead of that you chose to live with her, breathe under same roof and face her every single day so you can apologize everytime your eyes met." Taehyung spat every single thing he had in his mind and this time Jimin knew he was caught in his own lie. "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."
He looked down, Taehyung was right. He has surely went out of the box for you
"Jimin-ah." Taehyung called him and Jimin raised his head to look at his friend.
"Think about what I said." Taehyung dug his hand inside his pocket and Jimin noticed his friend revealed a coin which he placed on the table. "Flip a coin." he said as he walked away from Jimin.
Jimin averted his eyes from the coin towards Taehyung who was now standing at the entrance. Taehyung suddenly turned, "Jimin, have you thought about dying your hair red? What will be Eun Ae's reaction on it?" Taehyung asked out of curiosity.
"What are you saying Taehyung? She is not even looking at me, I am trying to apologize and settle things and you are asking me about her reaction to my red hair?" Jimin chuckled.
Taehyung was expecting the same reply from Jimin. "So, you are really thinking about her now?"
"Huh?"
"When I said Eun Ae, I meant Jungkook's wife and not Lee Eun Ae." Taehyung smiled, winking.
Jimin chewed his own tongue when Taehyung left. Eun Ae, the only Eun Ae in his life these days was Lee Eun Ae, you.
Taehyung must be right. These days with you were beautiful. It was your name running in his mind.
He took the coin in his hand. Memories flashed infront of his eyes- the way you tried to pull him everytime he slumped and fell into pieces, the look in your eyes when you wiped his sweat so lovingly even when you were angry on him, the way his mind was messing up with his brain when you were out with Hyungsik were the evidences which proved his unvoiced feelings for you. The kind of love you had for him is not something that can come and go. It is special and rare, the way you believe in your love for him despite of being hurt several time is indescribable.
Jimin closed his eyes as he concentrated on the coin. "I think this might help." he muttered. "Head means I want her in my life, Tail means I don't." he exhaled out heavily.
Jimin opened his eyes as he now flipped the coin in air and it was the moment when his heart raced, his muscles tensed up, euphoric feeling gushed through his nerves.
It was the moment when he knew where his heart is...
In Incheon...
