ARDOR

33. Unbelievable

Sitting to the left, beside my mother I held her hand anxiously. Yes, the time came to face the person I was expected to meet today.

We were sitting in a luxurious restaurant and the best part was that it belonged to him. I didn't knew someone like him in Busan other than Jungkook would have assets worth millions. It was a well known place to visit but expensive. But now we were sitting on the table in the centre of the area with vacant hall.

My father frequently looked over the wall clock hitting 4 o'clock in the evening. We have been waiting for him since last one hour as he called my father to inform about his delayed flight.

Placing the hand in her right over my father's hand, mom soothed him to not worry more. He took a sip of the wine after pouring a limited amount of red liquid while I looked outside.

The view outside was magnificent. The European style big windows was overlooking the city as the ceiling was painted with roman paintings. Latin transcript were written on the pillars as the floor beneath was layered with Italian marbles. The staff was no different. All staff in suits, ready to give their best service.

This guy would really be having some extreme literature interest to have such an unique idea of opening a western styled restaurant in middle of Busan.

Clock ticked and ticked. Every minute felt like an eternity while waiting for him.

I couldn't believe I was sitting here to meet my fiance. I heard dad say how he helped him in his business.

Jimin and I always wanted to start on our own so dad never pressurized us. Of course Jimin assured to take over after having his own successful start up so it was no doubt right now dad was managing the company alone. He told me how he introduced dad to many other regional businessmen because of his great connections. They even signed a partnership in their business by signing few documents.

I was amazed to know he didn't wanted anything in return. Such kind heart were rarely found on earth and here I was going to meet one.

Suddenly the phone rang and my all attention went that device resting on the table. The caller ID showed the name my dad saved him as which was.. son.

I don't know which magic he did on my parents to get them heads over heel for him. Staring on the old man's face I only heard him humming and nodding while the other side was not audible. He cut the call and turned towards me.

" He's downstairs and will be coming on the 14th floor any time soon."

"And remember Y/N, no bad words,"said mom. She arched an eyebrow to make me conceal her words in the brain. But it wasn't that I would behave like an absolute nut in front of him.

I nodded and relaxed myself through slow exhaling and inhaling. Lowering my head I was able to hear the staff opening the door and the heel of shoes started resonated the hall. The sound intensifies more as he was approaching us. Through my peripheral view I saw my father standing up to hug him followed by my mother.

After breaking the hug they gestured at me to show him what their daughter looked like they started introducing me as the time felt to move in slow motion.

I shifted my gaze from his polished Italian shoes to his thick manly legs following the trail towards his small waist and those widened shoulders. His hands were politely crossed in front as I was moving my sight towards his face.

His Adam's apple was adoring his neck while his lips were plumpy with a mole underneath in its shadow. And that when I stopped as I remembered I have seen this before but where...

Hang on a second!! It was that damn mole which belonged to the one and only

Jeon Jungkook.

Shiver ran down my spine as I saw that devilish face. My eyes widened dilating the pupils as the furrownd eyebrows became distinctive. A sudden rush of blood raised in my body making me furious. But that doesn't mean I wasn't  scared.

I still remember the fight we had and I was supposed to meet the man my parents had choose for me. Other than him but watching at the scenario it looked like he was the one I was supposed to meet. But why?

"You? What are you doing here??"

"Wow you both know eachother already. We didn't knew that. Looks like everything's gonna be fine then"

"Nothing is going to be fine dad since he is here!"

"Y/N! Mind your tantrum. Is this how we taught you to talk?"

"Mom! You don't unde-"

"It's okay Mrs. Park. I don't mind it. She looks cute even when she's angry"

He exclaimed after chuckling. My parents joined him giggling while I was the peak of screaming the question why of all seven billion people on this planet he was the one I was supposed to meet? He did say he would not let anyone take his place did he killed that person or was he the very person from the start who helped dad to get hospitalized? I wanted to know.

"Why is he here dad? Where is that boy you talked about?"

"Sweetheart he is the one we told you about. He is the one who helped me. I want you to meet Jungkook. Earlier we didn't knew who he was because the Jungkook we usually saw on different platforms always wore masks but when he introduced himself we came to know who he was."

"We even didn't told Jimin about this because first we wanted you to agree and then give the good news. I think it would be a surprise for him." Mom clasped her hands together in amusement.

"Let's settle down. I think we have a lot to catch up Y/N" he smirked while gesturing me to sit opposite to him. Facing him it was sure that it wasn't a coincidence that he was the one but how? Raising my eyebrows I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

Mom nudged me to behave nice. If only she knew with what kind of fire I was playing with she wouldn't be allowing me to sit in front of my psycho ex-boyfriend.

He and his possiveness was confirming me his intention through his fixed gaze on me. He quickly turned to dad and chugging the glass took the sip of the liquor. Trust me he was still staring at me constantly without breaking the gaze which I found unusually psychopathic. Like he won the blessings of immortality.

I didn't wanted to spoil either my mood or my parents who were already done with my unfriendly behaviour towards him, therefore, instead of arguing in this place I preferred to keep quite and just eat the food served.

It was all business what the men talked about to cover up the awkwardness due to lack of topics to talk. As expected it wasn't helping dad to maintain the communication. But I won't initiate to make things comfortable for us because too that devil was the last person I would wish to talk with right now. Mom did contributed by asking further about his family, friends and background.

They had a pleasant talk and why not I already confirmed my parents about my agreement with this marriage so it wasn't a big deal for them to sooth Jungkook with home warming words. But I don't think I could keep that promise.

I have already decided to tell them that I disagree with this relationship. Once we reach home, I would count all the demerits he has excluding about his Psychopathic ones because I didn't wanted them to worry about the past of me being stalked by him.

Munching on my bite I was still in my thoughts when Jungkook said.

"Do you have any questions regarding me Y/N? I don't want us to feel uncomfortable before marriage so let's be frank about everything"

"Umm.. are you okay Y/N? You look stressed"

"I'm okay, mom. I think you are right Jungkook, we really need to correct our misunderstandings before it's too late." Slightly tilting my head I offered him a mocking look.

He turned to my parents and stood up to speak in his most honey-coated voice to grab their permission.

"If you'll excuse us I would like to have a conversation with her. Am I allowed to do that?"

"Yes, why not son! Erasing doubts are the steps to a healthy long-lasting relationship. You both can go."

With the last look of my parents I followed him towards the destined area rooftop he talked about, which was just above this floor.
