SCARS IN US

41. Love maze

JUNGKOOK'S POV

I chung the glass of beverage with Yoongi and gulped it down. Jimin was so smooth in drinking the champagne though, in one gulp.

"You got time now? Where were you yesterday?" Jimin asked in a annoyance yet didn't let go of his cute pout. Yoongi remained silent for a minute then shuttered to reply. "I-I recently laughed a small company of clothing near the marketplace. So, I helped the C-CEO to chose h-her secretary."

"You should've told us about it." He looked at me and said," Sometimes few things are kept secret. If you know that thing could break everyone's heart then let it remain in the deepest corner of your heart."

"Seems like you are talking about a person rather than a company." Jimin cracked a joke out of ut and poured the drink again in his glass. Yoongi also filled his glass with a nervous smile and said,"Maybe."

I looked at the watch and asked Jimin if that person was coming here or not. Jimin was also unsure about it since it's been ages since we last talked him. As we sighed the door of the bar parted and revealed the boy we yearned to meet.

Jimin waved his hand and called him. "Hey Taehyung, you came late." He took a seat next to him and took his own glass. "Was busy in few settlements."

"Other than business settlements I heard you are settled too? Are you engaged now?" My pupils grew bigger as I sipped the drink in silence. Surprisingly, him being in a relationship seemed so random though a million could run after him. I was bewildered because he exclaimed to be in love with Y/N but unlike me he was perhaps moving on in his life.

He nodded and said," I am dating someone and if everything goes well then we could marry too but..." He glanced at Yoongi. It felt like they talked through their gaze as if they were thinking about the same thing. He said," It's complicated and don't know where it will go. I will go with flow and respect her decision. It's all her right."

"Don't you love her?" I asked, piercing right into his soul, breaking that fake expressions he was carrying out. He chuckled and said," I love her more than me and that's the reason I am waiting. This waiting is dangerous, Jungkook. I might get what I want or the history would repeat itself with a different ending."

I tilted my head with a slight frown. His words and gaze were not in coordination. His tongue was lying for sure but his deep eyes shown the lack of excitement in them.

"A day after tomorrow I am taking a night flight back to Seoul. My subordinate would've been tired to take care of the main branch in my absence." Yoongi exclaimed before taking out a box and handing it to me.

"This belongs to Y/N." It was the wedding ring. He said," The doctors gave it to me and now I am giving it to you." I nodded and put it in my jacket. We talked for few hours then parted to our own way.

Next day, I was sitting in subway near marketplace. While waiting for Jimin who went to take the order I played with the ring. I was getting flashbacks of past times though it's been a while.

I was so consumed in my thoughts that I neglectthe commotion happening around me. It was a busy day and the place was full of people around the lunch break.

"You are a thief." I snapped to that voice and saw  little girl glaring at me. She snatched the ring from me and said," You stole unnie's ring. That's why she doesn't wear it."
