Summary of last chapter: You went on date with Jimin finally.. You were happy due to this new change which was happening in your life.

"Who was she?"

Jimin quicky raised his head as soon as those words brushed his ears. "Why do you care?"

"Care? Dude, you went on a date after ages. Isn't that suspicious?"

"Stop it Taemin. Let me drink." Jimin was frustrated due to his questions, he wanted to get drunk and forget everything but his friend wasn't in the mood to allow him.

"I will be talking with Jin hyung. You are doing something which you shouldn't do." Taemin flabbergasted.

"That doesn't make any sense. I am already quite old enough to be tamed. Also, he is busy now a days with his new girlfriend." Jimin smirked as he took few more sip.

"Do as you please but don't ever come to me if you are in problem." Taemin got up from his seat and after sparing a glance at Jimin who wasn't interested for further conversation, he left.

"Okay, let me get this in a line. He checked your phone, he saw his images in your gallery, suddenly he became interested in you and he asked you for a date." Hyori said as she counted each and every incident on her fingers and you nodded after each statement from her.

"That's right."

"Isn't that suspicious? Why would he take interest in you? Eun Ae just think, why would he take you for a date just because you love him?" she got up from the couch and headed towards you.

"Why does that looks suspicious to you? Isn't that good? You should be happy for your friend."

"Eun Ae, there are tones of girls who loves him. There are many girls out there who wants him so why would he date you? A simple girl, a daughter of a teacher? He won't be getting anything out of this relationship." Hyori exclaimed. Each and every statement from her were like curses, you knew she was right but your mind was possessed with his love and you weren't able to think straight.

"He isn't expecting anything from relationship. He just wants a simple relationship where he can share his feelings and not every rich guy wants a rich and beautiful girl." you blurted nonchalantly rather rudely and then you got up from the couch only to head towards the kitchen.

"Eun Ae, you are misunderstanding me. I was worried for you. I don't want you to regret anything in future. They are rich people, they can buy any single thing. I was saying because I am worried for you." she followed you towards the counter.

"Okay, don't worry. I will be fine, anything else you want to say?"

Hyori looked at you, she saw how quickly your expressions changed as if you were bothered due to those assumptions. She shook her head, "Nothing.." she said and walked outside.

You opened the door of his cabin and found a figure standing at the glass window, he was looking taller than usual. There wasn't sufficient light in the cabin nor that figure moved due to your presence and you thought he must be deeply thinking about something. You pulled yourself as you walked inside the cabin with some files in your hand, you wanted to see Jimin, you were eager after yesterday's date so you collected some files and made your way towards his cabin.

"Mr. Park." You called him and he turned. Your eyes beamed, you should've known that it wasn't Jimin from the start. The tall figure walked towards you.

"Who are you?" you asked and the very next moment you were blinded due to the sudden presence of light in the cabin, he switched on the lights.

You adjusted your eyes and then saw that it was someone you have seen with Mr. Park. He was one of his friend, Kim Taehyung.

"What are you doing here?" you dared asking.

"I am Kim Taehyung, don't worry. I am his friend. There was an urgent meeting so he left. I am waiting for him here." he replied. His attractiveness possessed you as he walked closer, decreasing the space. Why the hell his friends are so handsome?

"I know you.. I have seen you with Mr. Park." you stammered.

"Good." he said as he changed his direction and walked towards the couch area. "Come here, sit." he said.

You were drawn towards the couch area. You got seated, not closer, nor farther from him.

"Your name.. ahh.." he scratched his head as he squinted his eyes.

"Eun Ae, Lee Eun Ae."

"So you are Eun Ae?" he asked and you nodded. "Good.." he brushed his palms on each other.

Little awkward silence.

"So, he is dating you?" he suddenly asked and you choked on nothing. Even he knows?

"Ye..Yea.h.." you replied.

Taehyung smiled, looking away. You felt as if it was a mocking smile.

"Do you know about Jimin? Do you know about his past?"

"About that.. he wanted to tell about himself..but he never actually did.." you blurted as it reminded you about yesterday's event.

"Oh..."

Your fingers ghosting on the fabric as you looked elsewhere chewing your bottom plush. Is this the right time to ask him?

"Mr. Kim... Can I ask you something?" your fingers fiddled on the fabric as you looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Can.. I ask you about Mr. Park's past? Is that..okay?"

Taehyung looked at you straight, his gaze was fixed as if he was examining you, "Should I?" he asked.

"I am not forcing you..I just..actuall-" you were startled when his deep laughter echoed in the room.

"I was just teasing you." he comforted.

"Oh.." you awkwardly smiled, looking towards your fingers.

"Jung Eun Ae."

You looked towards him, for a moment you thought he messed up with your surname. "Actually my surname is-"

"Her name is Jung Eun Ae... Aa.. I am sorry now she is Jeon Eun Ae." his chuckle was throaty, deep. "She was the first woman Jimin ever loved with all his heart. Their relationship was kind of friendly."

You felt a pang in your heart, the man you love, the man you admire had already loved someone. The thought that Park Jimin loved her before you made your heart weak for a reason.

"Who was she? His friend? Or-"

"Jungkook's wife. She was married to Jungkook. Our friend."

"What? How can Mr. Park fall in love with a married woman?" your eyes bulged as you gawked at him in disbelief.

"Well, the marriage wasn't the one you are thinking. It was a contract marriage. She married Jungkook for her own reasons which were genuine while Jungkook married her so he can take over his father's property which his father wanted to hand him after one year of his successful marriage."

You remember that name, Jeon Jungkook. You have heard that name from Hyori. He was the same guy you spotted back then in hospital with Jimin.

Taehyung stared at you, he saw how cute you look when you fiddle your fingers while thinking.

"Anything else you wanted to ask?"

You looked at him as he interrupted your train of thoughts. "Why did he loved her?" you wanted to know the reason. You wanted to know how to make Jimin go weak in knees.

Taehyung rubbed his chin with his finger and this was the moment you saw how slim and long his fingers were. "She was a headstrong woman, for whom money wasn't everything. She tamed our Jungkook, the guy who never settled for single woman. She was perfect​. Jimin I know, never wanted a girl who looks for his money, his property and he found his ideal woman in the form of Eun Ae. But fate had something else to say, she had her eyes set on Jungkook, only Jungkook. They fell in love which wasn't expected by any of us. Jimin was heartbroken when they finally started their married life in true sense. Those few months were worse..!! We saw a different version of Jimin but he is back now." Taehyung's smile returned as he looked at you. You could see how much he cares for his friend.

You gave an assuring smile but then something struck your mind. "Mr. Kim, do you think Jimin asked me out just because my name is same as her?"

Taehyung wasn't sure how to answer your question. He thought for a second then he looked away only to look back at you. "I am not the right person to answer." he replied.

He was right. He is just his friend.

Silence.

You looked towards the door when you heard the lock being clicked. It was Jimin who was amused to see you both together. Taehyung and you got up from the couch. Jimin walked towards the couch area, his eyes switching towards you from Taehyung.

"Taehyung, I am sorry for making you wait." Jimin flashed his eye smile.

"It's fine." Taehyung walked towards him. "I think, I need to leave. I need to pick Taesoo from Jin hyung's mansion. He must be waiting for me, let's meet some other day." Taehyung patted his back and then turned towards you, "See you someday."

You smiled, slightly bowing as he walked outside.

When he left, Jimin made his way towards you. "What were you both talking about?" He asked out of curiosity.

"Nothing.. just had an introduction." you smiled, collecting the files you had brought with you.

Jimin spoke nothing. He just looked at you. "Its almost time to leave. Let me send you home."

"No, it's fine. I can manage." You flashed a smiled and then left.
