Paths (Jumin x reader) Part #5

Before you'll get ready for the dinner, out of curiosity, you look what is inside of the bag which was on the leaving room.

When you open the bag, what you see suprised you a lot; a backless vintage cocktail red dress, a pearl necklace and earings. It's really a gourgeous dress and the jewerly looks expensive, who bougth them know you pretty well. But when you never notice at the bottom of the bag are a pair of black shoes.

Exactly at six, you are ready, but use the dress, jewerly and shoes where out discussion, so you wear you own clothes. When you are giving yourself a last look at the mirror someone call you and inmediantly answering.

"Good Evening, I'm driver Kim. I came to take you at dinner with Mr. Han".

You suspect about that call, but at this point the only thing you want is finish this extrange situation.

You pick your purse, the bag that Jaehee gave you, go down stairs and get on the black limo wich was waiting infront of the building.

Finally, when you get to the restaurant, the staff receive you with so much respect which make you feel uncomfortable, because usually is the other way around.

" Good evening Ms, Mr. Han is wating for you...This way please"

"Thank you..." You follow the hostess through the restaurant. At the moment you enter into a private lounge you look up and saw a really good looking man with a black suit and black hair drinking a glass of wine.

When suddenly he look at you directly." So you didn't like the attire I picked for you".

You feel kind of intimadated with his presence, but you manage to answer him back.

"Good evening...Mr Han, rigth?...Well I just came to tell you that thank you for the dress and the jewerly but I can't keep them...so here they are and thank you..."

..Oh!..So didn't you like them?... I made my research and secured me about they fit your taste and your size, maybe I was wrong"

"They're gorgeous, but I can't accept them like the flowers"

He put the glass of whine on the table and look at you with intrigue. "...Why? Every woman loves flowers, clothes and accessories. "

You feel insulted, because he tried to buy you with that, what made you mad but you manage to control yourself.

"...Not every woman loves them and I can't accept them because I don't know you. I...don't know who you are and which are your intentions but...I came to talk with you and end this...I don't need this....so I'm asking you this with all the kindess...please leave me alone..."

He hesited after hearing these words. It doesn't last and inmediatly he talks back to you with such coldness "...Sorry but I can't leave you alone"

Your eyes are wide open with this blunt answer. "Wha...?!...Why?!"

" I can't tell you, so please join me to dinner..."

The last thing you want right now is lose control of your emotions, but you failed poorly .

"WHAT?! NO! I WILL NOT JOIN YOU THIS DINNER OR ANY OTHER! You sent me flowers, gave permission to get on MY aparment and install security cameras and for the last, some strange people called me at my personal cellphone? Are you out of your mind? Who do you think you are?"

"I'm your ex boyfriend's friend and I want to help you..."

"I BROKE UP WITH HIM!... And it's none of your bussines..."

"...Yes, it is. I made a promise with him, and protect you is part of it."

This last reply make you lose the last piece of sanity that you have and without notice it you rant.

"If you feel pity, please don't! I don't need it. I DON'T NEED YOU OR HIS GUILT FOR LEAVING ME BEFORE WE GET MARRIED!...He was the one who decided to leave and end...this...me...my love for him...the trust I had once..."

Your eyes are watering ,your body is trembling while you are in a poor attempt to endure the sob.

The memory of that day come back at you and the many times you tried suppress the pain and tears. You can't face them right now, not in front of someone you never meet before.

You're about to collapse but the man with the black suit in front of you and a concern look hold you. "Please...take a seat...garcon...please a glass of water...here...take this napkin...calm down and hear me...please..."

After a few minutes of silence and the many attempts to breath correctly. You talk back. "Alrigth...I'll hear..."

" Jihyun and I..."

You hear the name and it hurts, but either way he continued without notice your pain.

"We are friends since a long time ago...He...made me promised to protect you when he was gone and...I thought that the best way was pretend be... lovers."

"Lovers?!...That's why you sent those roses...and your assistant with the gifts? "

"Yes... at first, the idea seemed insane but that way it'd look natural...and to be honest for me... it was also convinient..."

You close your eyes and breath deeply before continue the conversation. "...Why convinient?...What's the RFA?... What do I have to orginize the party?.. "

"....Firts of all, join me to dinner and after that I'll answer your questions."

"...Fine.."
