Chapter 3 (rewrite)


"What the heck is going on here?" Sania stormed forward towards the two people that she just caught kissing, when clearly they shouldn't have.

Ria pushed Jungkook to the side as she rushed forward to stop her sister in her tracks, noticing the confused yet angry gaze that had taken over Sania's face.

"I will explain, just calm down, alright." She grabbed Sania by her shoulders right before she gave a glance to Jungkook, who turned to leave immediately after, ignoring Sania's voice that questioned where he was running off to.

"Sania, it's not what it looks like. Please let me explain." Ria tried to calm you down as she pulled on your arm, stopping Sania from chasing after Jungkook.

"What is the to explain? How dare he force you to kiss him? I will beat his ass!" Sania retorted, certain that her sister would never have kissed her fiancé's best friend willingly. She knew far too well how much in love Ria was with Jimin, after all.

"He kissed me out of nowhere. I was caught by surprise. But let's not cause any trouble. Okay?" Ria looked into Sania's eyes with a glimpse of empathy that made Sania doubt herself for a second. Why would she want to protect someone who was doing something so wrong behind her fiancé's back?

"Sister, you can't let this slide. He is obviously a traitor. Who tries to steal the woman of their best friend? You can't let Jimin be around such snakes." Sania insisted, as she couldn't help but get emotionally involved at the thought, and only that the man she loved was being deceived and could potentially get his feelings hurt by his so-called friend.

"He is a bit tipsy. I swear this has never happened before. I am sure it was just a mistake on his part. It won't happen again. I know him, he isn't that kind of person, " Ria went on defending Jungkook, and Sania couldn't help but halt her tongue for a moment, thinking that maybe she had misjudged him, for certainly she didn't know Jimin nor Jungkook better than her sister did.

"Fine, I believe you. But you need to talk to this Jungkook guy and clear things up immediately." Sania raised her index finger at her, commanding her, and Ria nodded her head quickly, reassuring you that she would do so.

She knew well, after all, how Sania could get when it came to the topic of infidelity. Or unjust actions in general. She was known for her strong sense of justice, and Sania lived by the saying "Do not do something to someone that she didn't want to happen to her own self." Even though today, that motto of hers has become a bit ironic since she got to find out that she had slept with her sister's Fiancé. But she didn't know who he was back then, so it doesn't count. Or at least that's what she was still trying to say to herself in order not to lose her sanity at that moment and keep her emotions at bay.

After a brief moment of silence and a warm hug between the two, they decided to get back to the party. Sania was feeling as if she was about to explode from a rush of emotions, but of course, she couldn't show any signs of distress in front of anyone, as they would start questioning things, and she definitely couldn't answer to anything. Emotions that grew wilder and more difficult to keep under control, as once she entered the big venue room, she noticed Jimin coming their way.

He smiled slightly on his way there, and once close enough, he grabbed the hand of Sania's sister and pulled her at his side, soon engulfing her in a back hug and proceeding to peck her cheek sweetly.

"Where did my sweet lady disappear to?" Jimin asked as his lips lowered at the side of her neck and left a peck there too, but this time his gaze was directed at Sania while doing so.

His intense gaze made Sania feel uneasy, so she quickly cleared her throat and allowed her gaze to travel around the place.

"Just showing around my little sister, baby," Ria swiftly managed to get herself out of his grasp as she replied, then she returned to Sania's side, locking arms with her.

"Jimin, say, can my sister come to live in our apartment with us, too? I am bored all by myself, and she won't like staying at Mom's for long." Her sudden request had Sania stare at her with wide eyes, observing her fluttering her eyelashes prettily at her fiancé in an attempt to make him agree to her plea.

"Ah, there is no need for that. I will be great staying with mom, no need really." Sania tried to decline as politely as she could while smiling slightly, in order not to scream as she was doing in her head.

"If this is my future wife's wish, I have no issue. The house is big enough for all of us after all." Jimin kindly responded, his eyes falling on Sania as a sweet smile rested on his lips.

A smile that made her heart beat race, and she felt like butterflies had suddenly awakened in her stomach.

Damn, why do I have to be like this?

She cursed herself inwardly right as Ria turned to plead with her to accept. She leaned by her ear, letting Sania know that she needed her by her side because of Jungkook, and those words were enough to make Sania raise an eyebrow at her, questioning if her sister was afraid that he might make a move at her again.

She had claimed earlier that Jungkook was not such a person, though, so Sania got perplexed; regardless, she could not just decline now that her sister seemed to really have a valid reason to need her around.

Living at the same house could bring many benefits cause Sania could supervise the situation better, and intervene in whatever plans this Jungkook guy may have, but Jimiin had just smiled at her once, and she almost died. How was she supposed to be living with him and seeing such smiles every day without making her own life difficult? It was already hard enough to get over him, even when she had not seen him in years; how was she supposed to get over him now while seeing him every day?

"I don't know. I will start work next week too, and I want something near my new office." Sania tried to make excuses since, despite how much she wanted to help her sister, she also wanted to run away. She wasn't even sure if any of the companies that had interviewed her would end up actually hiring her, but despite her logical excuse, it seemed that luck was not on her side yet again.

As Jimin asked the name of the company, Sania randomly chose to tell him one of the two she had applied to, and he and Ria soon after put bright smiles on their faces, making her just look at them in wonder.

"Silly, that's Jimin's Company. His family owns it." Her sister informed Sania, and she couldn't help but let her eyes widen in shock, displaying her emotions.

What is this sorcery!!??!!

"It's decided then. You will start living with us from tomorrow, and we can go to work together." Jimin smiled brightly as he spoke of this news as if it were something positive, while Sania faked a smile, since in her head all she truly wanted to do was just to go bang her face against a wall and drop unconscious already.

Her wishes once again could not come true, however, so she just pursed her lips and endured through the rest of the event, among fake smiles, standing by her sister's side, and occasionally managing to excuse herself away for random reasons just so she could take a breather and be out of their sight for a while.

She had spent her time observing her screen while sitting by a table in a corner, and after a while of going back and forth, thankfully, they had not gotten accustomed to her absence and stopped asking for her to join them.

The pain from your feet was the only thing that occasionally made you tear your eyes away from your phone, just to look at your shoes with regret and anticipation to take them off.

How nice it would have been if the only problem she could have faced at this party was her shoes, she wondered as her eyes started catching sight of the guests leaving little by little, while her mind dove once again into the roller coaster of emotions she had faced.

"I should definitely go and mark this day in the calendar as the worst day of my life." She thought as she brought her phone and hit her forehead with it once or twice, eyes shut and mind a mess, as a deep exhale left her lips.

After a while, the place was almost empty, only some workers were still cleaning up some stuff, but Sania was too deep in her worrying thoughts to notice till the lights turned off and darkness engulfed her.

She stood up, surprised by the sudden darkness, and after a quick scanning of her surroundings, she just facepalmed herself for daydreaming like an idiot, then proceeded to take her bag to leave. On her way out, however, she happened to notice a jacket lying on a chair, and she went and picked it up.

She observed it for a minute as it looked rather familiar, but she couldn't remember who was wearing it exactly, so she just thought that she would hand it over to the guard in case someone came looking for it.

Sania slowly went out, her footsteps being the only sound that echoed on the corridors as she walked towards the elevator, which was to take her to the first floor, and right when she was about to press the calling button, the elevator's door suddenly flew open, making her step back in surprise.

"Oh! How come you are still here, Sania?!" Jimin asked as he looked at her with a surprised expression as well.

"I..I." She found herself unable to form the words before his unexpected presence.

"Oh, that's my jacket. I turned back to get this." He said and took the jacket off her hand.

"Oh, yeah, I just found it, there." She managed to say before entering the elevator, in her head scolding herself for being so visibly awkward.

However, the awkwardness was not the only thing Sania was feeling as anxiety and nervousness took over her in a matter of seconds as she saw the elevator's door closing, leaving her alone with him inside. Her eyes got stuck to the floor as the elevator started moving, not daring to even glance over at him.

A sudden noise and a shake followed abruptly, bringing the movement of the elevator to a halt and bringing her body to a shake as a gasp escaped her lips. She took a step back, trying to balance herself, but her heel betrayed her, making her land on Jimin's arms as he managed to catch her before she fell to the side.

The elevator's lights flickered for a bit, hurting her vision, and then the environment became steady again.

However, once the unexpected event stopped completely, Sania looked in front only to be met with Jimin's jawline since he was looking around at that moment.

He soon turned his gaze at her, and she couldn't help but notice the proximity of their faces as they were too close for her heart to take, making her heartbeat go crazy while her mind went blank.

"Sania, are you okay?" He asked her in a worried tone, and she nodded as she hurried to collect herself, quickly stepping away from him.

"I am fine, just fine." Jimin looked around again after hearing her response, then proceeded to press some of the buttons, but no one seemed to work. Then he took his phone out of his pocket, but once he did so, he realized that there was no connection in the elevator because of the material that he himself had required for it to have when he had bought it. He left an exhale escape his lips before proceeding to ruffle his hair in annoyance, regretting a bit his then decision.

"It seems we have to stay here for a while." He informed Sania nonchalantly, as he knew that the employees he had at his mansion would most likely check on the elevator soon or fix whatever the issues were that made it stop to begin with. However, his words made Sania's feet almost give up on her.

Why? God why? Do you hate me that much? I can't take being alone with him like this!

He turned around and leaned his back against the elevator's wall, clueless at the nerve-wracking state that Sania was in, then he kept his eyes on her before leaving a playful smile to appear on his lips.

"Do you have any good ideas on how to pass our time?"

Sania froze at the facial expression that he had on and decided not to answer. Pretending like she didn't hear him at all.

"It seems we will go with my idea then," Jimin added as he winked at her. Then, he proceeded to take a step closer, making Sania's eyes grow wide and her throat feel dry.
