The runaway bride

Chapter 31: A misunderstanding.

Jimin was back to his apartment, looking through the documents Ivy sent him. He had some points to take care of before he started the construction. Thankfully, his girlfriend finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and not only did she say yes to him, but also gave him the full approval over the construction. After a year, he was finally able to move forward with his plans.

He was taken aback when the doorbell rang. He didn't think she could have arrived so soon.

"Hi Jimin." She said shyly. Somehow being around him, always made her feel at ease. He brought back her innocent side she long lost.

"Vi." He beamed and gave her a short hug before asking her to come inside. "I'm glad you came by before my girlfriend shows up."

"Oh you have a girlfriend now?" She laughed. "I thought the tough Park Jimin didn't do girlfriends."

"I didn't, until I met her. You'll meet her soon. She's so amazing, refreshing." His eyes gleamed as he talked about the love of his love.

"You love her. I'm so happy for you. You deserve the best Chim." She patted his hand. They were sitting on his couch in the living room.

"Namjoon told me you married Yoongi. Congratulations."

"Thanks." Her voice was monotone. Her face was clear of any emotion.

"Why do you hide from me?" He asked tilting his head. "You know it's not necessary, and I know you lo..."

"No. I don't." She cut him off.

"Sure you don't." Jimin raised his eyebrow. "Are you lying to me, or yourself?"

After the ordeal of that night, after Namjoon left, Jimin stayed behind and talked to her. Really talked. She had confided in him with everything that happened to her. Her pains, her heartbreaks. He stayed and listened to her without interrupting her. He lent her his shoulder to cry on, and told her she could always come to him when in need. It didn't help that next day she transferred to a different high school.

"He doesn't love me Chim. He never did." Victoria explained. "I'm not delusional to think he's mine just because we are married now."

"Did you tell him about that night?"

"Are you crazy?" She rose to her feet and started pacing. "He'll hate me. How pathetic was I?"

"You do realize it wasn't your fault, right?" Jimin linked his hands together and looked at her. "It wasn't your fault. It could've happen to anyone."

"But it happened to me. I was the one who suffered. I was the one they wanted to..." A tear rolled down her cheek and wiped it out. "I need your help."

Jimin sighed. Victoria was once again avoiding the topic of love. He understood the circumstances between the married couple, however, he thought that the entire misunderstanding could have been solved with a simple talk. Knowing Yoongi and Victoria, how stubborn both could be at times, a real conversation would be near impossible.

"Ok. What is it about?" He asked. Curiosity eating him up. Victoria never asked for help.

"I know you're going to recondition that ballroom. I'm here to offer my father's company services."

"Wait." He remembered Namjoon telling them about Yoongi being the new CEO. "No. As long as Yoongi is in charge, I don't want him anywhere near my buildings."

"Is this because of that Greek piece of land?" She asked as she sat back down on the couch. "Are you still upset over that?"

"How could I not be? I love Greece. I wanted to own some part of it."
