Chapter 33

Ari kept turning her head towards Taehyung every now and then who was sitting next to her on the couch after the two had had dinner and decided to watch a movie.

During dinner, she had asked him about his day but he had told her the usual, not mentioning anything about his meeting with Dae.

 She had followed them and the two had parted ways at a parking lot where he had parked his car, so she hadn't witnessed anything grand but the fact that he didn't mention her, made her more worried, the thoughts of infidelity grew inside her as the minutes passed. Why else would he hide the fact that he met Dae if not because something was going on between them?

The more the questions grew the more Ari was determined to find out about this and tomorrow she had decided not to go to work. She was going to tail him, all day long.

Jungkook left a deep exhale to escape his lips as he stared at the ceiling of his living room for a few minutes, his mind swirling with thoughts.

"Why are you inhaling and exhaling so dramatically, baby? What are you thinking about?" Seon questioned him as she approached him, the small blue kitchen towel still in her hands, as she had just finished washing the dishes after dinner.

"Y/N" He nonchalantly blurred your name, making Seon freeze at the sudden mentioning of you.

"What did she do again?" She took a seat next to him on the couch with a smile on her face, pretending that the fact that he was thinking about you, wasn't alarming her.

"In two days the new column in the magazine that she will take over will begin and I don't know. I was thinking whether I rushed to give her such a post." Jungkook confessed as he now knew that something was wrong with you and he was not sure if you were gonna be able to give good advice when you yourself seemed to have a certain amount of psychological issues.  

"Look, I don't know what you are exactly thinking but from the beginning, I thought that Y/n is suitable for this post and I still believe it. Anyway, you don't gain anything by overthinking. Let it start first and if it does not go well you can cut her off and replace her. " Seon gave him a logical solution, but it was one he had already thought about but he was not sure if that would be okay because it could upset her because you were her friend and Seon had insisted herself on hiring you. 

"You are right my love." He told her, wrapping his arms around her waist, before bringing her closer to him with a beaming smile on his lips.

"Now that I think about it, it's been a long time since I've touched my wife. Did you miss me?" Jungkook questioned her before he leaned over Seon's neck and left the first wet kiss with many to follow.

"Of course I missed you?" Was Seon's reply as she proceeded to tangle her fingers between his black hair, letting him continue kissing her on her skin.

"Mm .. Ji- ah-" Jungkook smiled wickedly as he heard these sounds coming out of his beloved's mouth, knowing he had found her weak spot.

But Seon had frozen behind his back, looking at nothingness with eyes wide open as the name that almost left her lips was not that of her husband, but of Jimin.

What is happening to me? Damn it! Get out of my head!

She panicked, indignant with herself and her thoughts that were a mess, and were making her feelings even worse.

---change of set---

You were sitting alone on the couch of your apartment, playing a game on your laptop as the rest of the room was in complete darkness due to a blackout that hit their apartment building a few minutes ago and you were waiting patiently for it to be fixed.

Jimin was gonna stay in Tokyo this night too as he had informed you, without giving you a reason why as his night to stay had been yesterday but you imagined that he just wanted to be left alone for a while more and take time for himself. 

You were trying your best to keep yourself distracted by the screen as darkness wasn't the best state to be in for you, not because you get scared of being left without light but because in such quiet moments, your memories wake up usually in a rather fierce and bothersome way.

No matter how much you tried however to keep your mind away from those thoughts, the ghost of that night returned to hunt you. The voices and cries of that night reached your ears faintly making your hands on the keyboard freeze for a while before you got the need to hug yourself and hide your head between your knees.

Her face which was full of bruises when she turned and saw you flashed before your eyes, the whisper of her urging you to run, making you leave your fingers to dig onto your hair, in desperation to erase that image from your mind. A  scream escaped your lips soon after, in an attempt to dismiss your thoughts with that loud noise, anything just to get that night back in the depths of your mind where you had been keeping it for years.

A sudden noise in the door made you snap your head up in terror, shooting your eyes instantly towards the direction of the main door, from which a dark figure soon appeared, taking your breath away.

"Y/N~ are you here?" Jimin's voice was heard making you recognize that dark figure and calm down a bit, as a few tears reached your eyes.

"Yeah...- I am here" Your weak and cracking voice betrayed the fact that you were about to cry and made him search for you in the darkness with his eyes. 

"Where?... Just turn on a flashlight before we bump into anything" He told you as he stretched out his arms walking in the direction he recalled the couch being and you moved the mouse of your laptop making the screen light up enough to make the atmosphere more visible.

Once he saw you, he showed on his face that he was relieved but that feeling vanished quickly as you suddenly rushed to him and pulled him in a tight hug, your palms against his skin feeling so cold, that made him get chills down his spine. 

"What's wrong Y/n? Are you scared?...it's okay...I am here now." The way your body was trembling made him instantly worry, as he softly and carefully allowed his arms to hug you back, to comfort you.

"I know you don't love me Jimin...I know our relationship is not even a relationship sometimes ... But don't leave me. I'm not perfect and I can never be, but still please stay. I'm not sure if I love you either but I will do my best to make it work between us... Promise me that you will try from now on. Promise me that you won't leave me alone." Desperate sounded words started escaping your lips as you hold him tighter and tighter, your mind still a blur, swimming in fear of loneliness that you had felt even more after all the events that had happened with Seon.

Jimin remained silent for a while, surprised by your behaviour, but your words didn't fail to touch his heart, making his hands hug you back even tighter,  giving you the reassurance you needed.  

"I promise, I will try, I won't leave you. I promise." He whispered to you before leaving a kiss on your forehead and then he kept holding you in his arms until you were to feel ready to let go of him on your own accord. 

I will try because I have to untangle myself from the nets I got trapped in before anything else happens that I will regret. I will hang onto you, like I once did, in an attempt to keep me alive and away from her. I will stay... I will stay. 

Jimin thought as he had already decided to make an effort to forget Seon for the sake of his brother's happiness. Who, of course, should never get to know what had happened between him and his wife.

Too bad however, no lie ever lasted forever.
