Chapter 105
You had gone through a chaotic night that had left you unable to sleep till late because Jimin had returned home smiling from ear to ear, looking the happiest you had ever seen him and he had kept you occupied telling you about how things had gone on with Seon.
The news sure were pleasant to you and you had ended up joking a lot about how strange that was considering the past but at the same time, it felt so much better the fact that despite everything, no one had ended up hating anyone.
Sure there had been heartaches and hurt feelings, hurt egos and even moments of spit but it was a relief, that by the end of it all, Jimin was still someone that cared for you and he was someone you care for. And Seon was still your friend, even if the blind trust for each other was no longer present.
I guess that's just how life moves. Or that was what you had concluded especially when this morning while Jimin dropped you at work, you met Seon by the elevators and she informed you that she had come to speak with Jungkook about their divorce. Such a grand word that once would shake her world, now she spoke of it with such happiness that had left you still thinking about the delight on her face, while you were seated at your desk, staring at your screen.
I hope Jungkook will be looking as delighted...
You thought to yourself just before you snapped out of your trail of thought and started typing again on the article you were working on, trying your best to ignore that little whisper in your head, that added a bit to your worry.
...maybe there will be a part of him, that still will mourn the death of their relationship
There was nothing strange about that statement, for anyone could feel regret for the way some things have gone down and considering the way Jungkook had loved Seon, feeling an emptiness after his marriage comes to a closure, would be only natural, however, you couldn't help but feel slightly bad for him at that moment.
Who knows how it really feels, failing to keep a marriage better than the ones involved in it? This experience sure must have had a bitter taste that you weren't in a position to understand but you just hoped that both he and Seon from now on, will truly be happy besides the people they loved.
There's no need to worry, he will make it. He went through worse news.
You reassured yourself just as the door slid open and Jungkook with his secretary entered the office space, making everyone stand up as this was his first visit around for this day.
You didn't bother but gave a small bow of the head from where you were, before returning your eyes to the screen and going on with your work, assuming he had no business with you but Jungkook kept staring at you while the others returned on their seats then he walked over, aware that everyone's eyes were on him.
He halted right behind your chair and without hesitation, he brought his hand around your neck and lifted your head up, so you could meet his eyes.
"Ignoring me I see." He commented while you had momentarily been caught off guard, and grew way too aware of his fingers softly resting against your skin.
"I-I am working." You managed to reply, while your eyes tried to avoid him but because of the head placement, you could only be looking at the ceiling if not at him.
"What kind of work is more important than you looking at me?" He questioned and you just slapped his hand away in order to lower your head, because your neck started hurting.
"Don't you have anything better to do than bother me first thing in the morning?" You stood up to meet him eye to eye as you glared at him, already imagining how much his behaviour was going to be commented on once he leaves.
Jungkook as always was in his own world and didn't understand how gossip travels in this place. They already knew that he was going to get divorced, the least you needed was for everyone to start saying that he is doing so because of you. The only thing that was saving you was because everyone still thinks that you were Jimin's girlfriend, otherwise definitely at this point they would have every right to misunderstand Jungkook's behaviour toward you.
"Better? Heck no. Seeing you irritated makes my day." He replied with an annoying smile on his lips that made you raise your hand to hit him, but ultimately you just contained yourself and retrieved it.
"Oh if that's so then you must be prepared to be irritated back 'cause I won't let you have the last laugh little one." Your words had him cracking up and to your surprise, he was looking at you with sparkling eyes that made you slightly flustered.
Why the heck does he look like he fell in love all over again? Can't he at least try to be subtle?
You complained in your head while you had left your eyes travelling around until you felt his hand reaching for your neck and pulling you in. Once you were face to face with him you couldn't help but widen your eyes at the close proximity, freaking out but he only left a smile ghost on his lips as he spoke.
"I won't bother you anymore, I just wanted to say good morning to you." You felt his hand travelling softly from your neck to your cheek where he cupped it softly then added to his words " I hope you spare me your break time. I will be waiting for you."
He casually walked away after that, leaving you stunned in place with goosebumps running all over your skin, and the eyes of everyone there on you that were as shocked as you. Even his secretary had failed to follow after him for he was left speechless and in shock by his behaviour and the poor guy even kept looking back at you as he was walking away to rush after Jungkook, only to end up being more confused the more you would make eye contact with him.
"Ah, don't misunderstand. This is just another way of him making my life a living hell. You all can relax." You spoke to your coworkers as casually as you could manage at that moment then you sat back down on your chair, eyes only on the screen of your laptop while you were mentally screaming and whining.
Why the heck is he doing this to me~~
---Change of set---
Dae and Yoongi were together in the car as he was driving her to work, despite the fact that he was already a bit late and should have been in his office by now. The two had gotten carried away one more morning and between them, it wasn't really unusual. How could he say no, when Dae looks always so appealing after a morning shower?
"I think my lipstick isn't even...I rushed it." She uttered as she was looking at herself in the small mirror she had around on her bag most of the time.
"Why retouch it now? Do it after you kiss me goodbye." Yoongi told her and she smiled while she threw a glance at him, feeling loved by him, despite the flat intonation of his voice.
"You know, you are seriously the best boyfriend I have ever had so far." She decided to praise him and Yoongi crooked an eyebrow as he briefly looked at her.
"What do you mean so far? Will there be another after me?" He questioned and she chuckled a bit as she shrugged her shoulders, leaving the possibility open.
"Yah, are you trying to get back at me because of the bet? I thought we talked things through. If there's something that you still don't feel comfortable with, please talk with me so we can solve it." Yoongi pulled his car to the side as he started speaking those words, for he felt like he needed to address the subject seriously, but Dae just started laughing at how worried he seemed.
"Relax baby, I was just joking. I like teasing you." She replied, making Yoongi's face fall serious for he didn't appreciate at all how she played with his feeling at that very moment.
"Don't joke about this. I still fear you leaving me. It's so hard to believe we didn't end up like Ari and Taehyung." Yoongi showed his honest thoughts as rationally speaking if Dae would have ended up saying she was through with him, despite how much he had explained and how much he really wasn't going to do anything with Ari, he could grasp logically why his actions were not that great.
"I was mad at you, but not hurt. Because I know you, I trust you. You are all about victory and hence I understand why you would try to win that bet, and you are also great at finding loopholes, hence why you found one in this case too. You approached it as a business deal so yes I was mad over the fact that you made me part of a business gamble but I wasn't hurt, because your emotions weren't on it. That's just my pragmatic cold guy." She tried to reassure I'm as she cupped his cheeks, and despite how her words were lowkey displaying him in a bad light, Yoongi felt well, for she really knew him for what he was and loved him for that exact same reason.
"You know, you are making me feel bad for you having me as a boyfriend. Maybe you should find another after all. Why are you with me anyways?" He uttered half jokingly half serious as he reached his hand and took hers off his face.
"Honestly, I don't know. When we had first met I was eyeing Taehyung but somehow you stole me away."
"You what?!" Yoongi raised his voice in surprise as that was the first time he was hearing about such a thing. "Hold up, hold up - you used to find Taehyung attractive and-"
"And nothing. There are plenty of people I find attractive to this day, but that doesn't mean a thing. And you know why-? " Dae leaned in and pecked his lips softly as she halted her words, then she smiled at him and finished her sentence. " Because I fell in love with you once, and it hasn't come undone since."
Yoongi couldn't help but grab her and kiss her passionately at that moment for that was all it took for her to delete any possible doubts for her to have ever been in his mind.
"I know you aren't much fond of marriage but...I hope you have it on your list, growing old with me." He whispered against her lips making her smile, right before someone knocked at the window of their stopped vehicle and they both turned around to witness the plain-looking expression on Taehyung's face.
Yoongi suppressed a smile as Dae retrieved herself and Yoongi pressed the button to lower the window of his passenger seat, where Taehyung was at.
"You both are horrible. Get a room." He coldly told them while he looked at them with a mixture of disgust and annoyance before he walked away, towards the bus station that was nearby and from where he had spotted Yoongi's car and had rushed to him, thinking of how lucky he was to have fallen onto him, but once he had seen them being all lovely doveley, his joy was erased for he felt instantly lonely.
"Don't mind him. He is still bitter that Ari found another boyfriend." Yoongi lifted the window between laughter as he spoke while Dae had left her gaze to follow Taehyung's silhouette with slight pity in her eyes.
"By the way, for real, she found a new man so quickly, or do you know something more that I don't?" Yoongi took off as he threw that bait, thinking of getting something out of her that could p[possibly give a slight ray of hope to Taehyung's condition. For no matter how casually he was trying to play it and no matter how many times Taehyung was to claim that it was not like he had imagined all his future with Ari, Yoongi still knew that he loves her. If he really wouldn't have cared, he wouldn't be wasting time like this, subtly waiting for her to give him another chance.
"Actually...she..."Dae found herself hesitating but as Yoongi gave her space to go on, she couldn't help but give in and utter what she had to speak of now that she was given the opportunity.
"She is getting engaged."
