Let Me Love You (Jinrene)✔️

Chapter-7

Jin's P.O.V

"A glass of red wine please," I said to the bartender and he started pouring my drink.

I need a drink right now and thanks to the organizers for arranging a small bar counter at the Party.

Every time I look at Irene, every time I skip a heartbeat. My feelings for her getting more and more that my heart gonna blast any moment. I never thought I would find the love of my life in a messy situation. Wait! Have I said ' love of my life ??? Am I started loving her?

I took my glass and took a sip while looking at Irene from a distance, talking with her friends. I have to admit she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Sehun is a lucky guy to have her as his girlfriend. Irene told me how they meet in a bar and started dating. Lastly fallen in love with him. But I never saw his photo or him in person and whenever she speaks about him, her eyes become sparkle.

'Why I haven't met you first Irene? Why even I started liking or maybe loving you?'  I frowned.

"Why are you frowning Hyung?" Jungkook suddenly pops out in front of me.

"Aish! Can you stop popping out? It gonna give me a heart attack one-day." I said with a so-done face, while dramatically placing my hand over my chest.

He giggled and patted my head."Btw why do you seem so sad?" He asked while taking a sit in front of me.

"Um..mm, nothing. Just exhausted giving fake smile." I said as showed him my fake smiling face.

"Hyung, do you think me fool? I know when you drinks. And I saw you frowning over Irene Unnie. So split the truth." He said with a serious tone, crossing arms over his chest. Aish! This kid knows me very well! Maybe sharing with him can decrease my pain a little.

I sighed and started saying everything to him without looking at him. I don't wanna see his ugly reactions right now.

"Wait, let my little brain process. You started liking Irene Unnie but she has a boyfriend and now you both are getting married?? Huh?! I mean Hyung are you insane? Why do you accept this marriage proposal even knowing about Irene Unnie's relationship?" Jungkook asked with a pissed tone.

"Bcoz of Namjoon. We both know how important this project is for him. He has been working for this for so long. So I agreed. But I thought it's just one-year contract marriage, I can handle it. But I never thought I will start having feelings for her." I said while biting my lower lip.

"But one year is a long time, Hyung. If you started liking her then it won't take time to turn into love. Then it gonna more hurt than you are feeling right now."

"Then what should I do? I can't back off after coming too far."

"Then try to find someone else or avoid her. I know it will hurt you but better than broken." Jungkook said with a concerned tone while patting my thigh.

He is right. I have to move on and avoid her. I can't have feelings for her.

"Ok and thank you," I mumbled with a slightly sad smile on my face.

"Jin and Irene, please come to the stage." Mr. Bae hollered through a mic while I and Irene exchanged glances. 'Come on! Let's go!' she mouthed as I stood up and looked back at Jungkook.

"Don't worry. Stay calm and try to maintain distance. Fighting! Now go!" Jungkook said and I nodded.

I went to her and she linked our arms. I looked at our linked arms and sighed mentally. I wish I could hold your hand forever.

Irene's P.O.V

We stepped on the stage as people started cheering for us. We looked at each other before exchanging rings but I can see a heavy sadness in his eyes. This sadness of his is quite different.

'Maybe he dreamed about this day with his lover like me but was trapped in a fake engagement. I wish you were here Sehun. I wish I could exchange this ring with you.'    I said myself as sighed mentally.

Mom placed the rings in front of us and we took the ring as put it on each other's fingers. People started clapping for us while Jin gave me a sad smile and I mirrored him.

"Now it's time for a couple of dances. But before the dance, I would like to announce the date of the marriage." Mr. Kim said and I looked at Jin who was shocked like me. How could they fix a date without even asking us??

"Today is 5th November. Right after 1 week, on 12th November, this pair of love birds gonna married. Let's cheer for their future and dance!" Now my dad announced as rise his champagne glass for a toss and others joined him. How can be our dads so shitty!! God!!! Give me patience.

We went to the middle of the dance floor while other couples took their positions around us. The song started but we both were standing looking at our feet, not uttering any word. So awkward!!

"Umm...Jin, let's start dancing otherwise people will suspect us." I said as scooted closer to him, took his hand, and placed it over my waist. I felt his shiver but maybe bcoz of the cold weather.

"Ye-Yeah, right." He said as wrapped his hand over my waist, pulling me closer and guiding my right hand on his shoulder. Shit! He has Broad shoulders.

Our bodies started moving in rhythm and I can smell burn coffee scent from him. I love coffee and this smell is addictive. I looked at his face but his eyes were closed.

His hairs are looking soft, fallen over his face. His nose is pointing and his skin is looking so soft and flawless. My eyes travel down his lips...they are so Puffy red and Kissa- Stop!! Irene!! What are you thinking?! You have a boyfriend and he is just your friend.

He licked his lips unconsciously and I felt my cheeks are burning in hotness. I buried my face on his chest, trying to hide my blush. God! What is happening with me!?

"Ir-Irene, are you ok?" Jin asked in a concerned tone. What will I answer him!!!

"Um...Emm...Just tired." Good! Irene! Great excuse!!

"Oh, ok." He said as pulled me into a warm hug and started patting my head in a smooth rhythm."After this dance, we will directly go to our home. ok? Don't worry about the party." Jin asked softly and answered in a hum.

I hugged him back. I don't know what is happening but his soft side is melting me gradually. Even Sehun never showed this much affection for me. But Jin is special. He knows how to take care of someone.

I want you beside me forever as a friend. I  don't wanna lose you.

'Sure as a friend only?' my mind butts in.

Yeah, of course. I have Sehun.

'Let's wait and see. We can't say anything about the future.'

Am I falling for you Jin?
