You had a lot of work at hand today as the day of the column you had undertaken was going to be published in the magazine for the first time, and that fact was occupying your mind more than anything, making you forget all about the unpleasant conversation you had with Seon yesterday. 

A conversation that ended abruptly as Jungkook had returned to the office and she then had to leave to get back to her work, but even though the conversation was short, you got to know well that your behaviour was irritating to your friend.

But you didn't care much if she was irritated, after all, she had caused you much more than simple irritation. That's why you had decided to give her a small jumpscare, now that the day was almost over and you had found time to take a short break, before continuing the work for another two hours, when your shift would come to an end.

---Change of set---

Seon had just come out of the bathroom, having taken a shower and relaxing her mind under the nice feeling of the hot water.

She approached the couch and sat down, glancing at her cell phone to see the time, wondering how much longer would it take for Jungkook to get back home.

But as soon as she picked up the phone, a notification appeared on her screen, catching her unprepared since it was a text message from you.

She decided to open it after she gave it a moment of thought, for her curiosity had proved to be more strong than her fear of what you could have possibly texted her. 

"I don't know if you noticed any red marks on your husband's neck...This is just the beginning."

Seon's eyes opened wide while she read those words, her mind struggling to process them briefly but once she did, a wave of anger rose inside her.  

She really didn't have you capable of reaching such a point but apparently, she was wrong about that. For you seemed to be angry enough to step over your own lines just to get to her. able to reach such a point but it seems he was wrong. 

But what bothered Seon was that you were doing it on purpose while she had hurt you unintentionally and was involved in a story that would honestly do anything to go back in time and change it.

How could you behave like this when she had gone through and was still going through so much pain and remorse every minute? How could you think only of your own pain? It was not fair.

She grabbed her cell phone and got up from her couch, walking towards her exit to put on her shoes, grab her jacket and car keys and leave for your apartment, 

We will talk once and for all! I am not going to tolerate such stupid games that we both always hated. We can solve this. I know we can.

Seon thought inwardly feeling now determined to sit down with you and clarify things, tell you the whole truth and everything about her feelings. She had to face her fears as she should have done from the beginning, she had to try otherwise she would really lose you forever. It was or now or never.

She knew you well, and because of that, she could understand that your biggest source of anger had nothing to do with Jimin. But with the fact that she had lied to you.  She had hid things from you and had disappointed you.

She was the one that had betrayed your friendship and this was a fact that Seon had never thought that she would end up doing for she truly had never had such intentions. Because your bond was important to both of you equally.

--- Time skip ---

Jimin was watching TV while eating some chips, waiting for you to come home from work.

Normally he shouldn't have been home at all since he had switched his yesterday's shift just out of worry for you with whom his relationship was still in a fragile state.

It was obvious that your condition was unstable and the truth was that he didn't understand why this was happening.

What was going with you that had started making you more sensitive and on edge than you already were. He couldn't help but wonder and worry over your behaviour.  

The sound of the doorbell going off disturbed his trail of thoughts, making him place the bag of chips aside and get up to go answer the door. 

Did Y/N forget her keys?

He wondered, considering that around this time you usually return.

He opened the door and his breath halted in his throat, as soon as he was confronted with two eyes from which he had decided to keep a little distance for a while.

"Seon." His lips left her name as surprised as she was since she had thought that he wouldn't be home tonight for she had calculated his shifts in her mind on her way there and had reassured herself.

The fact that she wasn't prepared to see him was way too visible as her facial expression basically said it all. 

"Um, ah... Where is Y/N?" She avoided his eyes as she questioned him, clearly awkward in his presence. 

"Eh? ​​Ah! Yes. She will come from minute to minute. Come in and wait for her if you want." Jimin made room for Seon to pass and she hesitated for a moment, glancing behind her in the hope that you would arrive before she is left alone with him. 

But of course, you weren't in sight yet, but she still entered, hoping that at least it wouldn't take you too long and she wouldn't have to be left alone with him for too much for that thought worried her. Not because she couldn't trust Jimin but because she couldn't trsu her own self when it comes to him. And that was a big problem. 

"Take a seat...make yourself at home... Em, would you like me to get you anything?" Jimin tried to maintain a mannered behaviour as they reached the living room, his eyes travelling everywhere but her. A behaviour that was betraying the fact that he was awkward too. 

"Just a glass of water. Thank you." Seon gave him a cold reply before she turned her back on him and proceeded to take off her bag and coat and walk over to the hanger by the door to leave them there, while he was in the kitchen. 

When Jimin returned with the glass of water, she was seated on the couch and he left the glass at the small table before her, as he gifted her a small smile, which was an attempt to break the tense atmosphere but unfortunately he didn't succeed.

Seon had ignored him and had left her eyes to get fixed on the Tv, unwilling to look at him because it wasn't easy for her to do so, but it wasn't easy for him either.  

"Em, I will just go for a while then. I will be taking a shower. You just wait here, I am sure she will come soon. " He gave an excuse to get himself out of the situation and not have to stay with her at the same place, for he was trying to keep that promise he had made to you yesterday but while alone with her he could sense his own self-control getting weak.

Seon simply nodded in agreement, somewhat relieved by his words, and stretched out her hand grabbing hold of the glass and taking a sip of the water, only to spill half of the glass all over herself when Jimin had suddenly came closer to her and scared the life out of her. His abrupt action had made her though that he was making a move on her, while he was just trying to grab his phone which was left on the couch next to her.   

She started coughing feeling as if she had drowned for some water had gone up to her nose and he couldn't help but get worried over her. 

"Are you okay? Calm down, calm down." Jimin told her as he looked at her anxiously and patted her on the back until she began to calm down.

"Be careful baby, you shouldn't die from a drop of water." He joked as he left those spontaneous words to escape his lips which made Seon's body freeze.

What was the reason that his touch always gave her this strange feeling, what was the reason that his smile had the power to stop all her problems and worries? What was the reason she was not bothered by the way he referred to her? All these questions drove her crazy because she had little idea about what the answer to those questions was.  But she didn't like that answer at all.

"I'm fine, you can go now." She told him, slightly embarrassed with herself then she pulled away from him, trying to get away from his touch that felt like it was setting fire to her skin, every place he touched.

But Jimin didn't move an inch. He stared at her, lost in his own forbidden thoughts. His eyes travelled around her face before they halted on her lips.

It wouldn't be right and he was aware of that,  he shouldn't make any moves and he knew it, but although everything, in theory, was looking okay, in practice it was so difficult to apply it.

The atmosphere between them had only begun to warm from his gaze, making Seon want to feel his lips once more.

But it wasn't right. Nothing between them was right.

Yet when Jimin gave in to temptation and joined their lips with great desire and passion, the mistake was erased from both their minds. Because the feeling was just so right that neither of them could deny the fact that they both wanted it.

"Jimin... don't," Seon whispered to him as soon as he broke the kiss, her voice low, revealing her vulnerable condition and how inwardly she wanted exactly the opposite of what she had just uttered.

It was a fact now. She was very vulnerable when it came to him.

"I missed you. Gosh, I missed you so much...I am losing my mind" Jimin's desperation showed in his tender whisper inches away from her lips which didn't take long to reunite again, in a slow-paced deep kiss full of emotions that revealed to her the truth of his words.

Only if they had the strength to resist this burning truth that could be the end of them both. Only if these feelings could stop overnight. Only.

If Only the two of them had not been swiped up once again by these strong feelings of passion they nurtured for each other. If only that kiss hadn't made them end up in Jimin's bedroom, forgetting about what time it was and who would return home from minute to minute.
