You Have Melted My Heart

Chapter 29: CallBacks...

Jungkook returned to the restaurant. He was happy to notice that Namjoon had not burned the place to the ground or any screaming customers that came running. He locked the car and entered. It was quiet.

Namjoon grinned at him while beckoning at him. "Hey," Jungkook said sluggishly.

Namjoon's eyes narrowed in confusion. "What is the matter? We are supposed to celebrate."

Jungkook mentioned with his eyes to his office. He did not want to speak in front of Nimue. Namjoon blinked once to show him that he understood.

They entered the office and Jungkook turned to him. "So tell me what Hoseok told you."

Namjoon grinned from ear to ear. "He said that their chemistry was wild. The tension between them will save his company-"

"Then why did my sister run from the building in tears?" Jungkook interrupted.

Namjoon's face contorted in confusion. "I don't understand."

Jungkook sighed and sat down at his desk. He intertwined his fingers, resting his head on them lightly. "My sister was crying and she would not tell me what aspired in the interview."

"Honestly, I cannot tell you what happened between them. Only what Hoseok told me," Namjoon replied.

"I understand. I asked her but she did not want to tell me," he said and closed his eyes. Maybe it was time to stop interfering in her life.

"I will ask Jin what happened."

"No," Jungkook started, "I think we should stop interfering in this."

"Are you sure?" Namjoon replied, "I want them to be successful-"

"They have to stand on their own two feet," Jungkook said and stood up. "I am not going to beg or drag Yuna back there. She must do this on her own."

Namjoon wanted to argue that they needed to continue with this because both of them were blind and could not see what was in front of them. The look on Jungkook's face told him to keep his mouth shut. 

"Let us go back to the front. We should close for the day," Jungkook said defeated, he was going to lose the Meaty Way and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

Jin could still taste her on his lips. He wanted to prove a point at the interview. He touched his left cheek softly with his fingertips. She had spirit and he would not deny that.

Why was he thinking about her? When he was alone, his thoughts would drift to their first encounter at the Meaty Way where she threw a jug of water at him. He chuckled to himself. That was the first moment, he realized that he liked her.

He climbed out of the elevator and walked to his car. He was surprised to see that it was her at his company. He was not going to tell Namjoon this, but he wanted to create an encounter to see her again.

Scratch that.  He did not want her to play in the movie - he shook his head. His thoughts were jumbled up together. He did not know his thoughts anymore. He took a deep breath. Calm down, Jin. You should clear your mind of this girl, she means nothing to you.

He climbed into his car and drove home.

Yuna slammed the door behind her after she fiddled for her apartment keys. It was quiet. She ran to her room and opened the drawers where her mother 'had' placed some of her posters. She took them with trembling hands, her eyes struggled to focus and she went to sit on her bed.
