Chapter 19


A silence had fallen in the living room of Dae's and Ari's apartment who had left their jobs and had taken a longer break than usual just to listen to what Seon was telling them, in this emergency meet-up.

And what she confessed to them surely left them with their mouths open in shock because they had thought and wished for the incident with Jimin to not be repeated because it was supposed to be a simple impulse of the moment while now what exactly could they label it as?

"Seon, are you even listening to what you are saying?" Dae uttered after a while, not believing that not only did she dit it with Jimin but she admitted that she liked it and felt like she needed more of him at that too.

"Who cares about what she is saying. Our issue is what she is doing! You have lost your mind completely, haven't you?" Ari lost her patience briefly, her reply coming off as a bit aggressive.

"This is the problem. You don't understand me! There was no way I could have done such a thing and be considering myself reasonable. I'm telling you something is wrong with me" Seon's eyes reflected her desperation although her words may have sounded as if she was exaggerating, she truly had started believing that something was wrong with her.

"What. Do you mean that on a serious note?" Ari looked at her a bit more worried about her now. 

"And what makes you think you are losing your mind other than the indescribable actions you do?" Dae tried to not take her words too seriously because as a psychologist she had started to give psychological interpretations to the situation that had nothing to do with madness.

"From the moment I slept with him for the first time and after, I have started to have strange dreams and what is inexplicable is that it is like thoughts... That is, I do not see images, only blackness and words that my voice says. If this is not going crazy then I don't know what is!" Seon explained having really begun to believe that these voices in her head were a sign of madness that pushed her to do things she regrets bitterly afterwards.

Ari gave a side glance at Dae, waiting to see if she had anything to add to the matter as an expert, but Dae didn't seem to know how to answer as she wasn't expecting to hear such an odd thing in reply.

"The way you are putting it, it has started to sound serious," Ari confessed, not knowing what else to say to advise her.

The fact that for her sake they had kept a secret from You for so long had burdened her a lot and now that she has learned that the cheating is continuous it is very likely that she won't be able to meet your eyes from tomorrow onwards but that was not her only problem. Because if a quarrel was to break out between you and Seon and you were to find out that and she and Dae already knew about everything, you would definitely be mad at them too. Ari couldn't even think of the stress that could fall on her if ultimately they were put in a situation in which she had to choose to be on your side or Seon's, because even though Seon was wrong, she couldn't bring herself to blame her fully either.

After all, Seon didn't do what she did alone and this other filth that was messing up her friends' friendship had ultimately gotten the direction of her anger instead.

"What am I going to do? I don't know what to do. I don't want to do this to Jungkook. He doesn't deserve this. Nor Y/n does. Can someone kill me already, please?" Seon didn't take long to burst into tears as she had never to this day done a hateful act, as infidelity was to her. She despises cheating so much, just how had she ended up being the one who was cheating? She couldn't help but feel confused over the essence of her own being.

Just stop thinking about him, stop attracting him, stop it!!

She said angrily to the voice that had haunted her since that night and had begun to drive her crazy, filling her with doubts and questions to which she could not find an answer still.

--- time skip ---

Jungkook got up from his office ready to leave for today as everyone else had already left for a while now making him the only one who was left behind, working on some details for the new article that will be published tomorrow in the magazine.

It was not that he didn't trust the person in charge of the article, but since the involved person was a politician, he decided to double-check it so that he would be on the safe side of things.

Another reason left was the fact that the manager who was in charge of supervising you, Shin, had told him that you had only written the two articles today and after the break, you had seemed unable to concentrate to write the third of which he told you to do. Because of that Juingkook had ordered him to tell you to not leave the building until that one is finished and the time had passed 11 with you still not having appeared in his office to hand it over.

So she ignored me and left, I will fire her first thing tomorrow morning. I don't give a damn.

Irritation took over him as he thought of that possibility while heading to the elevator where he intended to make a stop to see if you were still in your office or not, before proceeding to take his leave.

And so he did, letting a breath of frustration escaped his lips when he really didn't find you there, even though the lamp on your desk was still on.

With slow steps, he approached to turn it off only to take notice of a piece of paper left on your desk which was the article you had finished but apparently you hadn't taken the initiative to get up and go give it to him.

"Ah, this woman. Why does she have to be so careless and not even think about doing her job properly?" Jungkook murmured between gritting teeth as he picked up the paper and carefully placed it in his briefcase, before turning around to head or the exit.

But as soon as he passed the door, he came to the sudden realization that your bag was still hanging by the side of your chair.  

She is not gone yet? If so then where is she?

He wondered and then decided to put his briefcase aside and take a walk around.

Doing so he ended up looking everywhere and not finding you yet since his curiosity wasn't leaving him alone, he decided to walk up to a guard by the entrance of the company and question about your whereabouts.  He definitely had you capable of having left without your bag.

After the guard informed him that the person mentioned had not yet checked out of the building, he thought of taking a look at the roof in case you were there.

What could that crazy woman be doing here this late though? Is it so hard for her to act normal? All I want is for her to reach work on time and leave on time yet she does neither.  Am I asking for too much? 

Now a little tired and regretting the fact that he decided to look for you, to begin with, he reached the roof of which after opening the door, you fell into his field of vision. 

You were standing by the edge, having climbed over a small height, your eyes closed and your arms wide open.  A sight that couldn't fail to make Jungkook instantly panic and sprint towards you while shouting your name right before he jumped on you and pulled you back, away from danger.

"Ouch!! What the heck are you doing ?! You squashed me!!" You started complaining as your whole body was aching from the collision with the floor, his body weighing above yours. 

"What do you mean what am  I doing? The question should be what are YOU doing! Are you crazy? Why are you trying to commit suicide at my building?!!" He shouted at you as he lifted his body a little to see you eye to eye.

"You are an idiot! I wasn't trying to fall! I was just enjoying the strong wind because I was thinking a lot and I needed some fresh air!!" You argued back while matching his tone of voice before you proceeded to shove him away from you. 

"If that's how you end up every time you think, maybe it would be better for you to not do that activity at all," Jungkook gave you a death stare as he now stood up and started dusting off his clothes as much as he could.

You decided to not reply to his ironic remark because you honestly had no appetite for jokes as today had turned out to be one of the worst days in your life and after learning the things you did, it surely had not been easy to get back to work and force yourself to concentrate and not think about Seon and Jimin. 

You had certainly tried, however, ultimately you couldn't hold back and thoughts had occupied your mind, regarding how long this has been going on. For how long were they doing this behind your back and playing you for a fool? Were they really enjoying this so much that they would care less how much it was gonna hurt you?

Nonetheless, pain was not the only thing you were feeling but also anger. Anger towards yourself that you loved them and trusted them and anger for the fact that you had allowed them to have the power to make you this angry and hurt, to begin with.

And even though you were boing inside, part of you still felt bad about the occurrence altogether. It felt so sad, realizing that they were not who they thought of them to be and they didn't care about you, as much as you did for them. A fact that had only fueled your original desires to make them pay for what they did.

At the end of the day Jimin is just a boy that you had tried hard to care for him and yes were angry at him and every lie he had dared to utter but the one with whom you were most furious was your childhood friend, Seon, because you had done the most for her.  Always by her side in whatever she needs and this is how she goes and repays it? By Mocking you and lying on your face, playing you for an idiot who would never find out.

"Do you intend to sit down and get some more air or will you go home tonight?" Jungkook's voice that spoke again took you out of your thoughts in which you had unintentionally once again got sucked into.  

You turned to look at him with a reply in mind, yet once you met his eyes, an unexpected idea crossed your head, making you stare at him for a while before you left your eyes to scan him from head to toe in a way that made him feel conscious and look at himself in wonder if he had got any dirt on him still. 

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" He questioned you and you just gave him an innocent smile before you stood up and passed him by, your mind having already started creating scenarios on how exactly you were gonna avenge yourself. 


So it's gonna be with the same currency... an eye for an eye, a man for a man.
