Chapter 8
No, but I'll accept your blame
It is time to say goodbye
Jungkook sighed deeply as he stood on the bottom deck, savouring the gorgeous sea view. The water is at peace. The weather is pleasant and promising. He shook his head, reflecting about the previous evening.
Sleeping with his fiance will cause unneeded issues in his life. He knows Sullia will want to marry as soon as possible after last night. He knows he is a very passionate lover, and last night his longing for his lost love drove him to empty his emotions on Sullia. It had been an emotional night. Every kiss and caress he gave Sullia morphed as if he was sleeping with a face he now despises. His little orchid is gone. In the intensity of love, he even nicknamed her "little flower."
Jungkook furrowed his brow as he detected a gentle presence next to him, His Hyung. Taehyung.
"You're up early...why are you glum so early on this wonderful morning?'Taehyung lifted his brows at him. Jungkook seems to be a bit far away. Something is eating the maknae.
"I just think about the mistake I made yesterday?" He sighed, still staring out at the ocean, as Taehyung stared at him puzzledly.
"What do you mean...making a mistake?" Taehyung inquired.
Jungkook casts a sidelong glance at his best friend, "I...er," he clears his throat. "Spend the night with Sullia," Jungkook confessed, anticipating Taehyung's response. Taehyungs' eyes widen with surprise.
"Oh my gosh...Guks! She's already clingy, like Yoongi's Suzy. How will you ever get her off your body? She'll want to move in with you and get you hitched sooner. Guks, you are not prepared for the significant step! You...you're still not over Jenna's deception."Taehyung uttered, concerned.
Jungkook bit his lip and looked at his hyung with a guilty expression. "That's the problem, Tae...when I made love to her, it was like I was falling in love with Jenna all over again. Tae, I even called her "Little Orchid," my little flower,Jenna's pet name.Jenna is wrecking my life!"
"Oh, Lord, have mercy!" Taehyung wiped his face, a calculating expression on his face. "You still haven't gotten over her, Jungkook. So, why do you think you have such a strong burning desire for her attention that you are willing to torture her in various ways? Jungkook, Sullia is going to be crushed. You just can't marry her...you don't and will never love her as much as you love Jenna." Jungkook inhaled deeply. Taehyung knows his real feelings.
"I told Sullia this morning that what happened last night would not happen again.Our "marriage" is purely for convenience...I don't care to marry Sullia because I would not want to be emotionally involved with her" a determined look crossed his eyes," And what Jenna is concerned... She is from the past. I detest her even more for destroying my time with my fiance. Sullia challenged me last night to prove that I'm over Jenna, I couldn't let her suspect that I still held unresolved feelings for Jenna... Tae, it's frustrating!" Jungkook slammed into the railing with a fury.
"My bro, your life is a three-ring circus. Just attempt to get over Jenna for the sake of your mental health. This Jeons' revenge scheme against Jenna is going to ruin you. And then bite you in the buttocks. Man, cut Jenna some slack. She can't breathe with you and your lovely mother constantly on her back." Taehyung expresses his regret.
He genuinely feels terrible for Jenna. It must have been quite difficult for her to deal with the Jeons' for two years. He was constantly sabotaging her effects from every angle. She was a wonderful friend at university until her true colours were revealed. He adored her, but she stunned and betrayed all of them, leaving Jungkook devastated. She had his heart in her hands, and he couldn't let go and forgive till today.
"Please let's talk about something else....what about you?" Jungkook shrugged, a gloomy grimace on his face. " My romantic life, or lack thereof, is extremely uninteresting."
"I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning, but I'm having nightmares or visions of a strange girl...but not so strange woman, but she looked a little like Cha-Young with really long hair. Why am I dreaming of a girl who resembles the girl who has annoyed me for years, Guks?"
Jungkooks' eyes widen in fear. Oh my goodness! Is Tae's memory returning? He must inform the Hyungs about the new development. If Taehyung found out about his and Jimin's connection two years ago, they'd be in big trouble.
"I believe it is because you have been enemies since university. Maybe she was in your subconscious all the time since you were continuously bickering and pulling cruel pranks on each other." He attempted to salvage the discussion graciously.
"That's not it...Guks! I was kissing the 'witch in my dreams.' What in the world was that? For years, I couldn't tolerate the girl. For God's sake. Why am I kissing her as if she was my oxygen?" Taehyung gave a disgusted face. Choi Cha- Young was a real pain in the buttocks. The last thing he recalls is how a prank went wrong, and his new car ended up nearly stripped in a junkyard. He was confident it was her doing.
Jungkook pulled his lips together, not wanting Taehyung to see his near snort and reminiscing about the most elaborate final prank in Tae's senior year. Then Jimin appears. He raised his arms on top of his head and inhaled deeply, savouring the crisp air—a refreshing sea breeze.
"Good morning, guys! It's so cool up here. Seokjin-Hyung has made an excellent investment here..." He smiled brightly.
The two Maknaes greeted him with a chuckle. Jimin seems ecstatic to have a weekend off from his demanding CEO job.
Jimin's smiled, "Breakfast buffet is ready...oh Guks! Your fiance and sister were looking for you. Come, Jin-Hyungs' chef-prepared seafood as part of the menu."
Jungkook frowns but follows Jimin to the breakfast room.
When he arrived at the double doors, Jungkook let Taehyung in first, then grabbed Jimin by the elbow to prevent him from entering.
"Jimin...we need to talk," he stated thoughtfully.
.......
The bangtan club had a great time on the yacht. Jins' speed boat took them all for a ride. The others were sitting on the little deck, watching the more daring members have a good time on the open sea.
The girls were hollering at Jungkook, who had taken Sullia for a ride. Taehyung and Jhope took the lead, with Taehyung in the driver's seat. Jessica wished to stay. She was too nervous to enjoy the ride, but Jimin and his girl did. Namjoon took his sister. It was her birthday, and Jin had the crew plan a surprise birthday celebration for her that night.
Namjoon handed her the keys to her new car. His parents purchased an apartment for her near her university. She was over herself with joy.
The group sat down to enjoy some sparkling champagne and fresh fruit. They were in a relaxing mood for the day. They took some beautiful photos for their Instagram and Facebook profiles. Sullia remained close to Jungkook the entire time. She made it clear to everyone that he belonged to her, especially the gorgeous crew girls who were admiring the young Ceo. Taehyung and Jimin were just quietly snickering in their palms.
Selena made sure that she mainly kept Eunjin company because Suzy and Sullia made it clear that she was not welcome in their league. Selena didn't mind because no one knew she came from a wealthy family in Mexico. Only her boss, Min Yoongi, is aware of her past, and she will not reveal her status, and she will not reveal her true identity to these idiots. Suzy despises her, but it doesn't bother her.
She and Eunjin chose to be alone on the pool deck because most girls preferred to be with their boyfriends.
Eunjin smiled brightly at Selena, who told her candidly about some humorous incidents about the boys during their trip to Mexico.
Eunjin makes a sly remark to Selena "So you and Mr Min? Is there anything else going on there that gave Suzy the ridiculous idea that you're together?"
Selena giggled, "No, Yoongi is like a strict older brother to me. As a buddy and brother, I adore him. I'm the only girl in a household of four older brothers. My mother passed away a few years ago as a result of illness. Yoongi would never consider me more than as a sister, friend, or PA...and he is still not over a certain girl."
Eunjin smiles, "You gave our Chimmy a hard time when he wanted to date you."
Selena laughs. "He'd make an adorable boyfriend...but he's a little too flirtatious for my tastes. I'll become jealous easily, and if I say yes to him, we'll argue all the time, and I don't need that type of stress in my life. He was engaged for a week, but the girl ended it when she discovered him "cheating" on her. She adored the boy, but he wasn't serious about it. As a result, he had to let her go. So how's married life?" Selena is aware of Eunjin's marital struggles.
"We're having a divorce," Eunjin says glumly. "He chose Yeri over me, so I'd rather be single and content than fight for a man who is in love with someone else... I will put in a lot of effort for Kwan. Jungkook is an excellent substitute for "dad." Kwan will have a male figure in his life. His father was more of an absent father; nothing was lost."
"I'm sorry, Eunjin. Do whatever brings you joy." When Selena watched Eunjins' eyes well up with tears, she reached out a comforting hand. In her mother's eyes, she was a failure.
"Yeah...I was considering returning to Busan...near my family's home. I wasn't even suitable for the position of Marketing Director at the company. My mum is going to offer it to Lalisa. She is still debating whether or not to accept the offer, but she is eager to begin working for us. Even though he is engaged, I believe she likes my brother a little too much." Eunjin shook her head in disbelief.
Selena started laughing. "Eunjin,with all due respect, but your family, particularly your mother, can be spiteful. I overheard Sullia telling Suzy that she and your brother's relationship had progressed to the next level. They spent the previous night together. And how he referred to her as his "Little orchid" or "Little Flower," and how much he loves her, and....blah...blah...blah!"
"Wait...he and Sullia spent the night together, and he called her his "little flower," Eunjin frowned " Oh, my Goodness. He used to refer to Jenna...his ex-girlfriend, as his " little orchid".
Selena's jaw dropped. "Oh...my...goodness. That's heartbreaking...does she realize he was thinking of his ex...while loving her? Seriously! with all due respect...but your brother's battle to forget Jenna is far from over."
Just then, Namjoon's adorable sister appeared, dressed in a two-piece bathing suit. She waved to the older girls before jumping into the small pool. The older girls simply grin at her. She turned 21 years old today, and the group wanted to make her birthday special.
-The night of the celebration-.
The birthday dinner was fantastic, and it was held in one of Seokjin's magnificent private dining rooms. The food was excellent. As a dessert, Seokjin's yacht chef created a massive cake. The group had a great time. She was grateful to the Bangtan Club and their girlfriends for making her birthday weekend memorable. It would be much more special if she could win Taehyung's heart, but she must accept that he is not interested in her.
The group went to the lounge to continue their quiet evening. Soft music played, and the girls forced the boys to dance with them.
Yoongi and Selena were dancing and laughing, and they looked to be a relationship, which Suzy despises. Her beautiful face was scrunched up in disgust.
Sullia, who just came back from dancing with Jungkook, look at Suzy with a calculating look," Are you going to let the Mexican slut take what is yours. Why is it so difficult to get rid of Selena? You got rid of that Park Yeonra* so quickly."
Suzy sighed dejectedly," Selena is like a sticky gum on clothing. I tried everything, but Yoongi cherished her. I think they secretly love or date each other. Yeonra was an easy target because she knew Yoongi wasn't interested in her, and that hotel room scene was brilliant. You gave me the best idea...but now we sit with Selena...I don't know what to do. It has been five months after Yeonra's departure."
"Why do you think I got my way last night?" Sullia sneakily grins." Why don't you enlist the help of Yoongi's mother? Because Guk's mother and mine are great friends, it was much easier to ask them to arrange the marriage for us. He is going to be mine. You only have to wait. We'll get married in a few months." She smiled as she brushed her long hair out of her face.
The two gossiping girls were startled when they saw Selena's face pressed between them, staring at each of them. Selena overheard their chat and moved silently behind the sofa where they were sitting.
When they both look at Selena's smug expression, their eyes widen.
"Are we scheming again to grab the attention, or should I say, love, of uninterested boys?" She chuckled as Sullia and Suzy scowled at her.
"Isn't it beyond your skills to eavesdrop on private conversations? When are you going to stop throwing yourself at Yoongi?" Suzy replied, annoyed.
Sullia furrowed her brows, "...you are also too involved in other's matters. You're not ashamed of yourself."
Selena chuckles softly."You must know with me I don't have any shame. I'm aware of your actions. I can just drop the bomb anywhere...at any time. So be nice..." she said as her smile faded.
Sullia clenched her teeth and stared at Selena with obvious disdain. "You're so pitiful. We have nothing to hide. So, get off your high horse."
Selena faintly smiles as she leans against the back of the sofa. "Oh, I know...Yeonra was my friend...and I know who was responsible for Jungkook's break-up as well as Yeonra's disappearance...so, if I were you.I'd pay attention to how you speak of me, about me behind my back. I've got nothing to lose. I'll let you ladies work it out...toodles "She started laughing and strutted out of the living room.
Tonight In his suite, she and Yoongi will be working on something business-related. They had to do it behind closed doors since Seokjin doesn't want any boys working on the business. But they were waiting for a crucial call, and certain documents had to be returned without Seokjin's awareness.
Just to enrage Suzy even more. She'll put on her PJs and plan it so that some of the girls will spot her coming or leaving his suite or not. Yoongi specifically brought her to keep Suzy off his back.
Sullia returned Suzy's concern while the latter stared at the door where Selena had just disappeared.
Suzy exclaims, "I hate that...that....!" Sullia comforts Suzy by patting her on the shoulder.
"Shh...don't worry...we'll get her back!" Sullia clenched her teeth.
Suzy remarked, "Does she even know anything?"
She is unable to let go of Yoongi. His family is already planning an arranged marriage so Yoongi can receive his inheritance. His parents had already planned with hers. Yoongi requires more butter-up tactics.
"She's bluffing...don't make her suspicious by confronting her or jumping to conclusions so quickly.Selena is dangerous. We must make friends with our enemies to keep them close. Keep your cool, please. Deny everything that is thrown at you. I doubt she has any evidence." Sullia, on the other hand, does not seem to be so confident of herself. She may lose Jungkook forever if he discovers she is backing his mother by destroying his relationship and unknowingly wreaking havoc in Eunjin's life.
She had been in love with him since middle school. He is the only man she is in love with. He must never discover about Jenna. Oh my goodness. Selena must keep silent. How? She has no idea, but they must devise a risky plan.
Selena was smirking to herself behind the closed door. She gave those scheming airheads something to think about.
She is not so stupid...she worked as an agent in Mexico's Intelligence Agency "The Centro Nacional de Inteligencia" before quitting to find a more relaxed position as a secretary/PA. Mr Min knows everything about her past, and she's using her expertise to delve into matters that most people would pass over. The Bangtan Club girlfriend's background has been thoroughly investigated. She knows where Yeonra is, but she has to keep it a secret for a few months longer to inform Yoongi. If he discovers why she left, he will be shocked.
On the other hand, she can't wait for Sullia to hang herself with her rope of lies...
