Chapter 6
But I won't forget
Burned into the back of my mind like a tattoo
A couple of sleepless nights had a real toll on Jungkooks mentality. He couldn't forget the shock, melancholy and pain he saw in his ex-girlfriends' eyes. When they stood so close to each other, old feelings wanted to emerge like a monster ready to devour. He dreamt about her, her emotionless face trying to suppress the deep hurt he inflicted on her. It didn't make him feel. Satisfied.
He wanted her to experience the pain he experienced when she blatantly cheated on him and stole money from his mother. How long has she hidden a devious nature/They had been dating for almost two years in college. How much he missed her after the betrayal. He wanted to forget about her, but the pain in his heart left a big hole.
However, his mother was livid because of everything he went through for her. He even wanted to marry her by eloping. He was so young and madly in love with her. He planned everything to surprise her with the news, but his family found out.
After the break up he couldn't move on for a long time physically and emotionally. Still, when he saw how well she adapted and how happy she was without him, he became vengeful, and since then, it was like he had every opportunity to hurt her so that she must feel what she did to him, and he wanted to let her feel the same pain he went through.
Sullia never gave up hope and pursued him persistently, and his mother adored her. They began dating a few months later, although he knows that his somewhat calm attitude toward romance irritates her greatly. She longs for him to love her sincerely, but he cannot open up to her in his heart.
Bangtan will spend the weekend on Seokjin- Hyung's yacht. He purchased it a few weeks ago and has now arranged that every Bangtan member would be ready to spend time unwinding with their significant others on his pleasure yacht. Seokjin assured that all members would be present to rekindle their brotherhood.
Jungkook smiled as he climbed into his new flashy Bugatti sportscar. Even Seokjin considered his twin sister and offered to join him on the yacht while her husband was abroad at a conference in Prague. Kwan is currently staying with his grandmother. His hyungs had to take time out of their busy schedules to join in the short getaway. Sullia is also invited, as is Jungkook.
He is aware that his fiance will do everything in her power to seduce him, and he is not prepared to take that step with her. Their marriage will be of convenience, uniting two dynasties; Sullia owns a thriving cosmetics company and is a well-known model and businesswoman. If he lets his mother has her way, he and Sullia may try to have only one kid, preferably a son like Kwan. Sullia, on the other hand, is hoping for a girl.
They may marry in two years when Sullia is ready for motherhood. Their mothers can't wait for them to get married. It will be the most spectacular day for the two childhood best friends, as they will be seeing their kids get married.
Jungkook drove inside one of the wealthy gated neighbourhoods to pick up his sister. She was excited to get away for the weekend and spend time alone with friends.
When her brother parked in front of her, she came out of the mansion with her weekend bags and a wide grin on her face.
"Hey, sis, ready for the open ocean?" he grins as he gives her a loving embrace and a slight bow. He took her bags and placed them in the boot alongside his luggage.
She chuckles, "I'm fine, bro. I only missed you for two days at work. Mom was back on the battlefields."
He helped her into the passenger seat while holding the door open for her. She smiles as she looks at her handsome younger twin brother. She misses the two of them arguing and bantering. He changed so much after his breakup, and she couldn't help but feel hatred toward his ex-girlfriend, who broke him and made him who he is today, and not even Sullia can bring those sparkling eyes out.
They'll be on the road for over two hours to get to Busan. Sullia's penthouse is already in Busan, and she lives there, and she'll be waiting for you at the docks. For the duration of their journey, he and his sister can have a sibling chat.
Jungkook looked sideways on the way and noticed the melancholy in her eyes.
"Eunjin? Are you all right? Is Mr Shin all okay?" He is referring to her husband. He has a calculating stare as he glances at her.
"Oh Gukie...I...think my marriage is finally over," she sighs bitterly." We talked to my in-laws, but his family wants us to go to counselling, and you know Ji-Hoon is confident of himself. I tried everything, Gukie, but he refuses to give up his affair with that nurse, Yeri."
"You knew about his affair?" Jungkook was taken aback.
"I told eomma six months ago, but she stated a woman must try everything to please her husband, even if he is cheating. She believes it is my fault. Mom didn't want girls, only boys, and I'll never live up to her expectations. She loves and admires Sullia and Ningning more. Ji-Hoon does not wish to divorce, but I have a terrific divorce lawyer who has been filming him and Yeri for months. Gukie, I'm tired of being in a loveless marriage... I'd instead be branded a failure than pretend that everything is excellent in our social circles." She shook her head.
Jungkook's teeth were clenched. He is tired of dishonesty and deceit in the family, and he does not want his sister to be miserable in her home, marriage, or job.
"Eunjin, do whatever you believe will make you happy, okay?" he said quickly, lightly touching her hands. "If you think it's the end of the road for you and Ji-hoon, don't allow anyone stops you." He assures her that he will be there for her to the end. He is a part of her.
"Thank you, Gukie," responds Eunjin. "To be honest, I desire the same for you. I do not want you to marry Sullia. She's a great girl, and you run in the same circles, but she doesn't make your eyes sparkle. You're not happy, brother."
"I'd rather marry for convenience than love," Jungkook said, shaking his head." Love stings and I've loved intensely in the past, but I don't have any romantic feelings left for Sullia. She is aware, and she still wishes to be my wife. I told her, yet she still believes I will fall in love with her...but---"
Eunjin nods, "--you might still have feelings for Ms Song...after all this time."
Jungkook's eyes tell it all, and he knows how close he and Eunin are, and she knows him." --Yeah, I still love and loathe her at the same time, Eunjin."
"There's a fine line between love and hate, Jungkook," Eunjin smiles. " Stop threatening her, you and Eomma. You have exacted your sweet revenge. She lost her cherished career, Jungkook; she is an orphan trying to make her way in this world...but don't you think your and Eomma's revenge goes too far? She previously asked for your forgiveness at university, but it's our hearts that harden... let's cut her some slack..she is jobless, she's friendless, and now she has to deal with you and Eomma sabotaging; her every step of the way."
"She wounded me, Eunjin," Jungkook clenched his teeth. "I flipped love the girl and she....she," he exhales heavily before remaining silent.
Eunjin grimaced, "She's already suffering, Gukie...our family broke her. Just move on... I'm moving on and allowing her to be happy. We don't always have to accept our mothers' counsel. She can also be wrong..."
"I realize, sister." But Jungkook still has a long way to go before being healed. He cannot just "forget." It's like a tattoo in the back of his mind."
They arrive at their destination, a tiny port. Cars had already gathered around the yacht's entryway. As the Bangtan Club members entered the yacht, Jin- Hyung stood on the second level, beaming. There was much laughter and high-fiving.
Jungkook beams with delight at the sight of the maknaes of the group. He unlocks the door for Eunjin, and many crew members assist the Bangtan Club and their guests inside the yacht. They are all internationals from Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Jungkook bows at the young crew members, who look at him with interest and admiration. Eunjin simply shook her head. The BANGTAN club is so popular that even dating them for a day might make you famous.
A frenzied whirlwind rushed up to Jungkook and tightly embraced him about the waist. Jungkook smiled as he held his fiancee in his arms. Sullia gives him a bright smile as she looks up at him. He kissed her on the lips lightly.
"Why so late? I expected you to be here by now. I'm looking forward to seeing my friend Suzy again. Hello, Eunjin. It's nice to see you relaxing for a change." She sends out a wave to Eunjin. Eunjin smiled as she approached her brother, embracing Sullia in his arms.
"Jimin's just arrived, I see. A new lady...this should be exciting."Jungkook raised his eyebrows at the sports car that had come to a halt just a few feet away. When he saw his bro with his sunshades and blonde girlfriend , he smirked.
They all make their way to the entrance, with some of the BANGTAN hollerings at Jin, who stood at the top with a huge smile and his PA next to him.
Namjoon is already here. He brought his younger sister, Soo- Joo, who is madly in love with Taehyung, but Taehyung isn't into 20-year-old girls. She has an unhealthy crush on Tae. Namjoon simply wanted her to be happy because it was her birthday weekend. Namjoon is not coupled with anyone.
A red sports car had just parked next to Jimin's white Tesla. Jimin is currently dating a supermodel from Milan. The boys did nothing but shake their heads. Jimin is frequently seen with the most exotic women in his arms.
Krystal, a cool and tall golden blonde, is his most recent conquest. Jhope came with his on-again, off-again girlfriend Jessica, visiting from New York for a week. Taehyung is the only one who comes on his own. He does not have time to date.
Yoongi brought Selena, his assistant, to shield him from Suzy, whom Seokjin had invited. He almost didn't show up since Suzy would be a headache. Yoongi arrived on his charter helicopter.
When everyone was on deck, they were greeted with a glass of champagne. Jin greeted all of his Bangtan CLub members and their guests.
Jin grins merrily, "Welcome, my lovely friends...I hope you have a smooth sail. Please try to unwind and forget about your work. It's a weekend for fun and fellowship, rekindling relationships, and so forth."
"We're merely here to eat your food!" Jimin joked.
The others simply chuckle.
Jin smiles, " Watch it! Or You will be responsible for the kitchen. Miguel, our resident chef, requires further help."
Jimin smiles and raises his glass. "You can count me out! I'm here to spend my free time with my lovely Krystal. "He has a soft spot for his girlfriend. Selena is doing nothing more than roll her eyes and click her tongue. Krystal will be old news in a month or so. Jimin will never be content. He adores his freedom. He was engaged when he went undercover for a show, but that is a story for another time.
The girls were familiar with one another. There are a lot of egos in this room. Seokjins' personal assistant Sui-Mei escorted all Bangtan members and their guests to their respective rooms. The yacht has nearly 13 bedrooms, a gym, a dance events centre, a bar/cocktail restaurant, an indoor pool, and much more. It's no surprise that women all across the world adore Seokjin. Young Billionaires will only marry foreign girls who are ignorant of their fortune.
The guys unwind on the deck and catch up. Jungkook and the maknaes were having a chat. At the same time, the girls decided to put on their swimwear and relax by the pool. They were relaxing with cocktails served by the yacht's numerous crew.
They could only hear the girls upstairs' bell-like laughter. Seokjin had a good day catching up with his club. They ate a small lunch on one of the higher decks. The chef at Seokjins is regarded as one of the best in the world. And while he is employed at one of Seokjins' Japanese restaurants, he will be cooking for the BANGTAN Club this weekend.
"So, Jhope, what's up in your life?" Seokin sipped on his wine.
"Good...Jung Towers will expand to Indonesia," Jhope said as he stood by the railings. I'm constructing a beachfront resort. As a result, it will open in around five months."
"Whoa...another vacation spot," Jimin grins.
Jhope smirked. "Only you. I'm designing a unique floor for the Bangtan club. Where we may hang together exclusively."
Jungkook laughed. "That's fantastic, Hobi...are you and Jessica finally going to settle down? She wishes to be Mrs Jung."
Jhope quietly smiles, "You never know...but I love her...but I'm not ready to marry her. She is also undecided about where she wants to live. This long-distance relationship isn't working out for me. So we decided to talk about our future this weekend. If she still wants to live abroad and advance her career rather than live with me, I'm calling it quits."
"That's a shame...it'll devastate her. You're it for her..."Taehyung appeared dejected. "Hobi needs someone intriguing who will put him to the test. Jessica is far too serious and self-sufficient. He deserves someone who needs him."
Seokjin smiles and turns to face Jungkook, "So, young Kookie, what else is going on in your life besides Sullia?"
"She wants us to take our relationship to the next level...but--," Jungkook sighed.
"Ugh! Great Guks! Your fiance is interested in a piece of you. Give up altogether. She has a strong urge for you." Jimin teased his little his young maknae, who scrunched up his nose. He simply shoves Jimin by the shoulder. The hyungs did nothing apart from shaking their heads. The hyungs are not happy with a marriage of convenience that does not allow them to enjoy the true benefits of marriage.
Yoongi furrows his brow, "If I'm not mistaken, I heard the acclaimed Ms Song was fired from her Lynx Agency. Is it true?...right after they won the Jeon Account." Everyone gazed at an indifferent Jungkook, who was sipping his champagne as if nothing had happened.
"What?!?" Taehyung's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.
"How in the world did it happen...isn't she like Kangs' golden goose?" Jhope exclaimed with shock evident on his face...
"Oh my goodness!!! That's incredible. She was such an honest student at university...to think she was a liar and a cheat. She dated you because of your wealth "... Jimin scowled.
Namjoon regarded Jungkook with calculating eyes. "Did you have any voice in the matter? I thought you mentioned Red Cherry or Liquid Gold was the account's forerunner...how did that happen?" everyone looked at Jungkook.
"Easy...My final act of revenge is to remove her job. Kang was desperate for the account, and their pitch was the best. But she messed it up...Lalisa, on the other hand, was quite professional during the pitch. I appreciate their research on our company and the ad campaign. But I told Kang to fire her in trade of the account. Kang was stunned, but Jenna didn't allow him to deny my offer...so she resigned on the spot, and they got the account." Jungkook smirked, his eyes gleaming with venom.
"You're so cunning...but brilliant!" Jimin chuckles.
"So she's unemployed right now...why do I feel so sorry for her? Lynx was her entire universe. She'll have to tone down her luxury clothing and search for real jobs now...your mother will make sure all the ad companies' doors are closed on her..." Seokjin appeared to be annoyed. When she and Jungkook split up in their senior year of university, they abandoned her. She couldn't find work for her degree, so she went to Tokyo for her graduate studies.
"She was such a perfect match for Guks," Jhope shook his head.
"Okay yeah, well...love sucks. I'll marry for the sake of friendship and companionship. Passion and love have only resulted in anguish and suffering for me." Jungkook was despondent, and it was clear that he was still dealing with the aftermath of what happened two to three years ago.
"Don't give up on love, Guks...you and Sullia might discover the love you're looking for." Seokjin consoled him.
"You either love someone, or you don't...love cannot be bought or replicated, and Gukie doesn't love Sullia!" Taehyung says quietly.
"I believe Guks are of the sort that only falls in love once..." Jhope embraces the emotionless little maknae.
"Guys! Can we switch topics?' He enquired of the guys. They nod because this is a delicate matter for them.
Seokjin's grinned, "Okay, then... I'll let you unwind at your leisure. I will run over to Miguel and double-check the menus for the weekend and tonight's meal. If your guest has any food preferences or allergies, please notify them to contact Sui- Mei. You are free to do and explore the yacht on your own. The bar is open, and a lunch buffet is available on the upper deck. Please, guys, rest and relax. No business talk etc."
Namjoon cracks a smile. "Thank you, Hyung. We'll have a great time with you and each other. Let's meet after dinner for an hour in one of your lounges and simply chill out without the girls."
"With all due respect, Joonie...please keep Soo-Joo out of my room and away from me. I'm not sure how many times I have to reject her. I'm uninterested." Taehyung appears unimpressed with Soo-Joo. She is constantly in his space, seeking to serve him and be a nuisance to him.
"I'm sorry, Tae... it's her birthday tomorrow, and I'd like to give her a "glimpse" of you as a gift. Simply be kind to her. She had a crush on you since she was fifteen." Taehyung's expression made all the hyungs snicker. His little sister's obsession with Taehyung irritated him. Can't she just stay with her crush at university?
Even in the man cave, the boys spend a significant amount of time together. Jungkook went to his room to rest and change into cool, comfortable clothes.
His bedroom is quite large. This yacht is designed to accommodate the entire Bangtan club, guests, and even family members. The crew had brought fresh fruit in his room, and he picked a piece of grape and popped it in his mouth while looking around with curiosity. He smiled as he gazed around the room. Seokjin-hyung did not compromise on this yacht. He needs a Mrs Kim since he is oblivious to the affections of his PA, who serves him so well and is desperately in love with him.
Jungkook changed into shorts and a shirt that highlighted his well-defined chest. The late dinner was fantastic. The girls became acquainted with each other. The group had a pleasant day together on the ocean. Suzy was smirking at Selena, who was ignoring her. Selena is friends with Eunjin, and the two girls always band together while the other girls monopolize their fiance/boyfriend times.
After midnight, everyone retires to their respective rooms. Jungkook took a shower and changed into his PJs and t-shirt. He couldn't believe how exhausted his body felt. His head was filled with images of Jenna. He knew that meeting her again in her physical presence would mess him up and that in the privacy of his room, he could easily let go of his emotions. He turned off the main lights and just left the small lamps illuminating the room.
He was ready to fall asleep when he heard a faint knock on his door. He lets out a sigh and opens the door. His eyes widened when he saw his fiance standing there in her short red designer nightgown, softly apologizing.
"Sullia...what-"Jungkook furrows his brow as he observes her nervously biting her lips.
"Guks...I'm not able to sleep on this yacht. I'm scared...can I just be with you...just for tonight? Jimin's girlfriend was supposed to share that large room with me and...and she's with Jimin.' She winced at his calculating eyes.
"You're not up to your old tricks again...I'm too exhausted to fight you tonight ", He says; she gave him puppy eyes and the Jungkook sign, and he opened his door for her to come in.
"No, but I need to be near you, please." She is an alluring woman, and Jungkook knows that her presence is the last thing he needs right now, whatever he is going through. When he nods, she smiles excitedly and dives beneath his warm covers.
"I didn't say--" Jungkook's eyes widen.
"You have a kingsize bed here, common Guks. Join me...we can snuggle. You look exhausted. "She stroked the space next to her. Jungkook signed tiredly as he stared at his best friend/ fiance's puppy eyes.
He shut his door, crawled between the sheets, and turned his back on her. Sullia's arms wrapped around Jungkook as she nestled against him, widening his gaze. She is the second woman to do so. Jenna used to snuggle up against him in this position. He remembers her whispering seductive nothings into his ears. As he felt delicate fingertips caressing inside his shirt, all over his tight abs, he stiffened.
"Sullia, please don't start with your crap!" he said in the dark, turning his head over his shoulder. He gently reprimands her as he tries to untangle her fingers from his waist.
Sullia sighed softly against her warm back, "Guks...am I not a woman enough for you? You don't seem to be over Song Jenna, which is why you keep rejecting my physical advances.Then prove it once and for all...love me tonight," Sullia says, a little determinedly.
Jungkook's eyes widen in surprise. He didn't mean to offend his fiance with his coldness and aloofness? He can't let her believe he's still madly in love with Jenna. What the hell!!...he immediately turned and rolled on top of the stunned Sillia, kissing her with intense ferocity with his hand securely gripped in her brown hair. She gasped for air as she looked deeply into his eyes, grabbing his head down to hers and kissing him back with the same kind of passion and need that she had for him.
The young CEO couldn't believe he had succumbed to the enticement of his fiancรฉ that night, calling to her as his "little orchid."
