"She can cook delicious foods and has great fashion sense and did I told you she can sing so great?" Jungkook brag on his co-workers.

Taehyung listens and amused at how whipped Jungkook is. And Jin is too busy on fixing his hair while looking at the mirror. But Yeonjun is confused whils listening. He just got back at the secretarial department after having a switched position in the marketing department two months ago.

"She's the best girlfriend everyone could ever have and I'm so lucky that she's my girlfriend!" Jungkook exclaimed with eyes sparkling with pride.

Yeonjun blinks and looks at him in confusion and asks.

"Girlfriend...?"

"Yup!" Jungkook answers and Yeonjun nodded. Jungkook then check his watch and his eyes widen and said hurriedly. "Gotta go guys! I need to call my babe because I miss her." He bid and left to go to his own office.

Meanwhile in the cafeteria, Yeonjun looks at Taehyun in confusion.

"Jungkook have a girlfriend?! I thought he have a wife!" He asks and Taehyung shrugged.

"He does have a wife but I heard it was arranged so yeah no love in it. But did you see how inlove he is? They must be starting a new and start off as being boyfriend and girlfriend because they gave their relationship a chance!" Taehyung explained and Yeonjun nods in agreement.

"Yahhh you're right! Have you met her already?" Yeonjun ask and Taehyung shake his head no.

"Not yet. Only selected few people were invited and his wife hasn't been here before. But I hope to meet her soon!" He exclaimed.

"Me too! She sounds amazing like Jungkook said!" Yeonjun said.

- The next day -

Taehyung, Jin, Yeonjun and the newly arrived Yoongi sat on the cafeteria table while they eat.

"Why is Jungkook not here?" Yoongi ask.

"Oh he's at his office. He said he will have his lunch there while having a vc with his girlfriend that's actually his wife." Yeonjun explained.

"Huh? He got married already?!" Yoongi's eyes widen in shock and Taehyun and Jin chuckled at his reaction.

"Yeah! Last two months ago. You weren't updated coz you were too busy in the states!" Jin said.

"I never knew he has a girlfriend before..."

"It was an arranged marriage by his father. It was a very private wedding that none of us here is invited just close relatives. And Jungkook calls her his girlfriend since last month and we all are happy that he started giving their relationship a chance! But as a couple for now but that's a great step for knowing each other." Taehyun said.

"Why start off as dating couple when they are already married in the first place?" Yoongi ask his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"They are married with no love and in papers only. So they are starting by taking small steps until their relationship blooms and become a real married couple." Jin said.

"Okay then you've got a point. Did he introduce her to you guys already?" Yoongi asked.

"Not yet. He said she doesn't really like going out of the house because she's not a people person." Taehyung replied.

- Later that Day -

After work Yoongi is driving to go to his halmeoni's cafe a few blocks away from the company. While driving he got a view of Jungkook's mansion. His halemeoni's cafe is located in a village where Jungkook's mansion is in. He thought for a moment and decided to stop by and came for a surpirse visit. He did it a couple of times before but stop since they both got busy with work.

He park his car nearby and walk to the porch and knocked.

A minute passed and the door opened revealing Jungkook who now changed in casual clothes because he left work earlier than Yoongi.

"Jungkook! I came here to surprise you and to meet your girlfriend!" Yoongi greeted and said. He is happy that Jungkook now has a girlfriend again despite it being an arranged marriage with the girl.

"Yoongi hyung! Ya sure come in!" Jungkook led him to his living room.

"Where is she?" Yoongi ask and is eager to meet the girl. They both sat in the couch while Yoongi scan the living room.

"She's cooking dinner, hyung." Jungkook replied.

Just when the silence drop a sudden door opening and closing echoed in the living room. Yoongi's gaze fall on the newly arrived girl and Yoongi knew it's the wife.

"Hello! Nice too meet you, Mrs. Jeon!" Yoongi greeted with a wide smile but the girl only looks at him with saddened eyes.

"A-reum where have you been?! Clean the master's bedroom. My Ae don't like messy rooms!" Jungkook orders and Yoongi's jaw drop.

But isn't that the wife!? Yoongi thought.

Then he quickly scan the girl's body thats heading upstairs. He look at her right hand to see a wedding ring on it. Then he turn to look at Jungkook's hand to see none.

Then Yoongi calmed down thinking that Jungkook decided to get a maid. He remembers Jungkook hating the thought of having maids in the house but he must had changed his mind now because he have a wife.

"So... How's married life, Jungkook?" Yoongi started off a conversation.

"Married life? Hyung Ae and me are taking things slow. We aren't married yet." Jungkook replied.

Yoongi nodded and shrugged thinking that Jungkook don't yet treat the marriage as real because it was arranged.

"Jungkook can I meet her now? I have to go at halmeone's cafe after and I can't wait to meet her!" Yoongi exclaimed and Jungkook sigh.

"Fine. But don't bother her she doesn't like being disturb while cooking." Jungkook then led Yoongi at the kitchen. Yoongi have a wide smile in excitement. They arrived at the kitchen and Yoongi looks around.

"Isn't she beautiful? Cooking is her passion." Jungkook said softly his eyes sparkling with joy.

Yoongi is silent and his eyebrows are burrowed while looking around seeing for any signs of a girl.

But there's no one there except for the two of them.

"Jungkook... She's not here. Where is she?" Yoongi mumbles and Jungkook looks at him with a frown.

"Don't be like that hyung. You're being rude." Jungkook said and turns his gaze at the stove and Yoongi blinks because Jungkook really looks like he sees something.

But there's no one else here! Yoongi thought.

"Jungkook what are you looking at..? There's no girl here. Just the two of us!" Yoongi said a little louder than normal and Jungkook didn't like it and throw him a glare. Jungkook then drag him to the living room.

"Don't be like anyone else hyung! You're hurting her feelings for acting like you also can't see her! Stay here I'll talk to her she must have been hurt because of your words." Jungkook said and left Yoongi at the living room.

Yoongi's jaw drop at Jungkook's action. His emotions seems so genuine though. He thought.

"You must be confused at his actions, right?" A soft feminine voice ask him and he looks at his side seeing the girl earlier. It was A-reum.

"Yeah..." Yoongi mumbles and the A-reum smiles sadly.

"Any guess?" A-reum ask and Yoongi frowns.

"Well... I don't wanna think the worst but he seems to be... Imagining things...? Hallucinations..." Yoongi said lowly and gulp hoping he's wrong and Jungkook just playing a prank on him.

"Hmm... He only sees me as a maid..." A-reum said while rubbing the wedding on her finger.

Yoongi realize that she's truly the wife and there's no girlfriend at all. He look at her wide eyed and begs for answers.

"We got married two months ago... It was arranged by Jungkook's father. At first he is cold to me and hates me... But I endured his harsh attitude and hoped for the best. A month together we are getting along and I can't help but fell for him. But that one day after we had dinner somewhere else we got into a car accident. Luckily, I only got minimal injuries but Jungkook hit his head hard and had an concussion from protecting me.

When he wakes up from a 4 days coma there's no emotion he didn't greet me or anything and just came along with me and I Iet him be silent thinking that he's just tired. But once we enter the house he yelled the name that I dread coming out of his mouth..."

"Aera..." Yoongi said realizing that the one Jungkook refers as 'Ae' was his ex girlfriend, Aera.

"He started to look for her around the house... Then he stops when he enters our master's bedroom. I followed him the entire time and I thought he realize that Aera is gone and I'm his wife by seeing our wedding photo in the bedroom but he just shouts her name in joy while hallucinating that she's there. It pains me to see him like that. It pains me to watch the happiness in his eyes while his brain tricks him into seeing the girl he once loved... Oh right he never stopped loving Aera.

After our wedding night I saw him staring at Aera's photo... He was crying and talking to her saying how sorry he was at how he can't stop the marriage. It continues every night I always catch him doing it until we started getting along. But the accident happened... He denies me everytime even if I show him proofs of us being married, he just dont accept what ever proof I show him and only sees Aera in his eyes.

When I tried to get him help he becames aggressive and when Mr. Jeon come to knew it he threatened me and told me not to. Not to, because he cannot accept the fact that his only son is mentally ill and heavily affected by his ex girlfriend's death.

B-but I am getting okay with it. If it makes him happy living an imaginary life with Aera then I'll let him be happy. He was severely depressed when Aera died that he already hallucinated before..."

"W-wait what? He hallucinated about her before?" Yoongi ask in shock.

"Y-yes... It happened before but Mr. Jeon refused treatment for his son. But when Mr. Jeon made Jungkook busy with tons of paperwork his hallucinations decreased a lot then our arranged marriage happened. But even he stopped hallucinating he suffer the consequence of living with the truth that she's gone. And hallucinating she's alive makes him happy... And I want him happy... That's enough to make me h-happy too..." A-reum's tears continuesly fall down her cheeks.

Yoongi look at her with sad eyes at went to give her a hug hoping that it would at least make her a little better. A-reum fixed herself and force a smile out. A-reum drag Yoongi in the kitchen to show Jungkook's condition and Yoongi sigh at his friend's vulnerable moment.

"I love you, Aera... Your always in my heart. A-reum is nothing to me don't mind the wedding ring and photos okay? She's just a maid to me just like before. I l-love you so much, Ae... Don't leave me again p-please?"

Jungkook said while deeply staring at someone who was gone long ago. His eyes filled with tears that held so many emotions. His hands lift and hug the air. In his mind everything is real, in his mind it wasn't just an imagination.

A-reum watched in despair and sadness while tears uncontrollably fell out her eyes. Yoongi watched sadly at the two broken hearts in front of his eyes.
