JEONGHAN POV

I was filled with regret as I walked toward my car. After what happened, none of us spoke a word. We both knew we had made mistake. It wasn't something illegal but despite enjoying it, we both knew it was wrong. I had been trying to convince myself to hate her but when I saw her, my heart skipped a beat like the old times. She looked perfect in that dress. She looked like the princess I had treated her like but in return, I got nothing but pain. I wanted to move on and start a new life, and fall in love with someone else all over again but those things seemed impossible because I had made a promise. I had promised to love her forever.

NARI POV

It was hard to believe what had happened. I was already having a hard time moving on and this happened.

Shoving my thoughts aside, I called Jin to inform him of what happened.

"Hey."

"Where the hell are you? I have been waiting for so long. I asked you to have dinner with me because I wanted you to meet my friend but you disappeared leaving both of us hanging." He kept yelling without letting me speak.

"Jin..." My voice came out weak and husky. I was tired due to the orgasms I just had, besides that the heavy guilt was not helping either.

Realising something was wrong his voice soften. Even without looking at him, I knew that his flawless face was now covered with lines of concern. Concern for me but what had I done for him? I ditched him for my ex-husband who hates me. I thought as I replayed his words 'hurting you give me pleasure'.

"Did something happen?" He asked breaking my train of thoughts.

I smiled to convince myself that I had done no wrong and could make it up to him by going to him now.

"I am really sorry for what I did. I met a friend and we spoke to each other for so long that I lost track of time. Sorry. If you don't mind then I can make it up by going to you now."

I knew it was a bad decision. To Jin, I was like an open book. My fake smile would give away that something had happened but confronting him would be so much easier than staying home and regretting what happened.

"If you don't want to, then you don't have to bother-"

"I am coming no matter what you say," I cut him off, "Just send me the location."

I hung up not wanting to argue anymore and wore a tight, brown leather pencil skirt and a black top with a brown blazer to save myself from the mid-February cold.

As soon as I got ready, I exited my house not wanting to look at the mess we had created.

According to the given location, I reached a small diner. It was completely covered by fairy lights and; vines and climbers. The different coloured fairy lights were an attraction at night, so I assumed the plants did that job during the day.

On entering, I was welcomed by the warm air from the heater which made the whole place even cosier. It wasn't something luxurious instead it was sweet and home-like. The place didn't have a lot of seats which made it less crowded and noisy.

I slowly moved inside looking for Jin only to bump into something hard.

I looked up to see an amazingly handsome, young man. His face looked younger than mine. He was wearing a baggy, grey sweatshirt and a pair of tight black jeans. He had an apron wrapped around his waist which obviously meant he was a chef here.

We were both there for a moment and held the stare until he looked down for a moment and then looked up again with a welcoming smile. I returned a smile before moving past him to go back to searching for Jin.

After I took a seat beside him. I couldn't stop contemplating whether I should tell him about what happened. I knew he would freak out but I felt like he deserved to know.

When I was about to tell him what happened, someone moved the chair beside me.

I looked to my left and saw the guy from earlier sitting beside me. I thought he followed me here until Jin spoke up, "Meet the great chef Jeon Jungkook. My friend and someone I have always thought of as my younger brother."

He gave me a sweet smile and put his hand forward, acting as if we hadn't already met. I didn't mind that more like didn't care.

I shook his hand and sat quietly, feeling bad about not being able to tell Jin about what happened.

Jin nudged me with his elbow, I looked at him not understanding why he did that. He pointed his eyes towards Jungkook. So I looked at Jungkook and saw him looking at me intently with his eyebrows raised. I didn't quite understand what was happening since my mind kept repeating what happened until he said, "So...umm...are you going to say your name or...umm what do I call you?"

I mentally slapped my forehead knowing I must have looked so stupid. I mumbled a small apology and said, "I am Baek Nari. Sorry for not introducing myself, I just have a lot of thoughts going through my head. I am sorry."

"It's fine. I totally understand." Bumps formed on his cheeks as he gave me a very charming smile.

"Jungkook, why don't you bring one of your masterpieces for Nari? I am sure she will enjoy it."

I could say Jungkook was a man of few words as he gave Jin a nod and got up to bring one of his 'masterpieces'.

"Do you know that he learnt cooking from me? That is the reason he could successfully open a restaurant of his own." I couldn't help but smile at Jin's words. He was my serotonin. On the toughest days of my life, I just needed to hear Jin say one of his dad jokes or hear him praising himself.

Jungkook soon entered the room with food in his hand. It looked like the common bibimbap until I tasted it. It did have common elements like rice and sesame seeds but the other things were slightly different. As soon as it entered my mouth, different flavours exploded and it seemed like the tastiest thing I had ever eaten.

"You taste that Nari. This boy has always loved experimenting with food. I used to hate it but after tasting it I knew it would be a hit. That is why I suggested he open his restaurant. It doesn't matter what he put in the dish it always ended up tasting amazing." Jin said with a proud dad smile while Jungkook stood there awkwardly rubbing his neck.

"It's actually very good," I said with a mouthful of food.

Jungkook thanked me and took his previous seat.

"I heard you work in Lunar Entertainment."

"Yeah. I have been working there for a while but I have still not gotten used to the work pressure. Our CEO is absolutely a psycho. Who the hell gives so much work?" I said still with a mouthful of food.

He smiled, "I understand you after all that psycho CEO is my uncle."

I froze.

What the fuck was wrong with me? I looked at Jin and mouthed, 'Why didn't you tell me?' And he mouthed back with a shrug, 'You didn't ask.'

I kept my spoon back, swallowed the half-chewed food and slowly turned to look at Jungkook.

"I am so-"

"No. Please don't be sorry. We get that complaint all the time. But my psycho uncle won't listen."

"Still, I shouldn't have said it like that. It was rude and unnecessary. I am so sorry."

"Please don't be sorry. I know how my uncle is. He had gotten angry with me when I decided to do this," He said gesturing with his hand to show the restaurant, "But later he agreed because of his love for me. Now he is very proud of my work and I am very happy about it. When things don't go his way he tends to get a little grumpy but it eventually gets better." He finished laughing.

Only if he knew that his uncle wasn't angry with me because of work.

"It's not work he is angry. There are other things I did that made him upset." I mumbled.

"What?" He asked probably because he didn't hear me.

"You both are talking to each other and have completely forgotten about me. That's very rude." Jin interrupted.

"Sorry. She just seems like a very interesting person." He said glancing at me with a mischievous smirk dancing on his lips. "I just can't stop myself from wanting to know more about her."

His words made me feel weird. It felt as if my heart had stopped beating for a moment and a pit had formed in my stomach. I hadn't felt like this in a while. No one had made me feel like this except...

I took in a deep breath knowing I was in trouble.
