Luna is the owner of a cosmetic line that is blowing up, taking the world by storm. Her vision was to help make everyone feel beautiful. But Luna could never feel beautiful herself. Deep down, and under layers of clothing she hides something from th...
The taxi dropped me off and I'm just standing outside of my apartment, staring at my door. I didn't know how to feel anymore. I wanted to be pissed at Taehyung for tricking me. And I was, but what hurt worse was that now I'm fully aware of what I'm missing. I'm missing out on a wonderful man, it seems. Fate has truly been cruel to me. For years now fate has been unkind.
I wanted a second date with Jimin, so desperately I wanted that. I wanted to love, to be loved. But that wasn't in the cards for me, it never was. Not even my own family loved me. The only person who showed real love for me was Taehyung and now he betrayed me as well.
My hand lingers on the door handle. He would ask me so many questions, but I couldn't answer them. The wound was too fresh. I knew that date was a terrible idea. Jimin doesn't seem like the type of man you just date and move on from. No, he seemed like he would be the one, for anyone. He was the type of man every woman relentlessly chased. And for a brief moment in time, he was mine. But now I feel the loss more than usual.
I've been through this charade so many times. I go on dates; I get dumped or I dump them. It all ends the same, but this one stung. No man made my heart respond the way Jimin did. My heart called his name endlessly and I could never let the voice be my own. I had to protect him and myself.
Opening the door, I'm faced with Taehyung. He drops to his knees in front of me and clasps his hands together. "Please, please forgive me! I only had your best intentions at heart! I love you; I care about you. I want you to be happy, you deserve it."
My heart shatters at his quivering lip. He was terrified that I would hate him, but I never could. Taehyung was the only person I really had left in this world. My father is dead, and my mom doesn't talk to me anymore.
I lean down and hug his head in my arms. How could I be angry with him? My best friend just wants me to find love. How could I blame him for wanting what's best for me?
"I already forgave you honey." I tell him softly and he throws his arms around my waist. He sniffles and hugs me tighter.
Standing up, Taehyung doesn't break our hug. "How did it go?" I drop my arms and sigh. "It went amazingly, unfortunately. He seems like a great guy." My voice carries all the pain I feel in my heart. Tae pulls back and looks at me. "Unfortunately?" I nod once.
"Yes, you know I can't get involved with anyone." I shrug away his arms and leave the hug. I forgave him, but it still hurts. It hurts knowing what I can't have.
I walk towards my room and Taehyung follows me. "Why can't you just date someone! Open up to someone!?" I ignore his words. He knew the answer to that. "Aren't you just afraid to fall in love? To give your whole heart to someone and are scared that you might get your heart broken?! Why can't you at least try? Try to love and be loved. I don't want our deal to come true."
I laugh to myself, our deal. The silly deal Taehyung and I made when we were twenty. We promised each other that if we couldn't find our soulmates then we would just marry each other. Apparently, he still thought the deal was binding.
"I'd never hold you to that deal Tae," I tell him softly. I didn't know when or with whom, but Taehyung would find his soulmate one day and I'd never stand in the way of that. If anyone deserved truly, unflawed happiness, it was him.
Tae grabs my shoulder and spins me around. "Try Luna! Try! For once in your life, open up to someone. You might be surprised at what you find. Not every guy is as heartless as the ones you've dated. Look at me for instance. I don't find you revolting. I think you're absolutely stunning, just as you are, inside and out. Let someone else see the real you!" Taehyung was pleading to me with his whole heart. I could hear his voice breaking, he was trying so hard to convince me.
"You sound like Jimin asked me to marry him or something! We won't amount to anything, and you know that." I spit out the words, offended by his nagging. I know he meant well, but happiness wasn't in my future. It never was.
"I'll think about it," I tell Taehyung. Those seemed to be the only words that would shut up these men lately.
"Good." Taehyung says resolutely, happy with that answer.
