Two Hearts

Chapter 4

I paused as Jungkook and I reached the door, dread sunk in for the both of us. I really expected him to be immature about this "arrangement" but he wasn't, he gave me a comforting hug from behind "Just get through this, and we will work out the details later." Nodding in agreement, we both took a deep breath and walked in.

We heard both of our fathers laughing, like this was a great business deal. We were not a business deal, we were teenagers, kids, we still wanted to figure out who we were. That infuriated me, but I pushed my temper to the side for a moment. Turning towards Jungkook trying to read his eyes, his facial expression and I couldn't. How was someone who was supposed to keep me in check, become a total wall. I stared at both of our parents, nerves and anxiety taking over, but neither of us were raised to show weakness, and I was hoping that Jungkook was about to play pretend with me as well. 

"Jungkook, Alison" both of our fathers were trying talk to us like this was some causual conversation.

We both bowed our heads respectfully towards them. 

"We were just talking about, how great it will be when you return from your studies. My son will make an ideal partner by the time you return home."  Jeon Jae patted his sons shoulder like his son was someone to be controlled. I had this strange since of protection surge over my core.

"Don't I can handle this.." his hand covered mine, squeezing it gently reassuring me that he's in fact playing the role he needed to. 

My father smiled pleased on how he could see the potential in what we already had..but it wasn't on our terms, and neither of us wanted this.

"Why can't we talk about this when him and I are a little older?" Trying to push some reason on to the both of them. 

Failed attempt 

"Alison, you will get this in your head now, that this is your path. You can rebel all you want as time passes, but you two will be married." He arched his brow, crossing his arms. Daring me to challenge him on this. It was tempting, but its what happened next that really set me off.

He was walking towards Jungkook in an intimidating manner, and I could not stand for that, the only one that could intimidate  Kookie was me. 

Before I knew it, I was infront of him challenging the man I respected the most.

"Back off.." I didn't know what I was doing I just couldn't watch this anymore.

"I will back off when you understand I'm doing this for your own good." He wasn't budging, and neither was Jeon Jae.

"If we do this, we decide how and when we get married. ¿Estoy claro?" I turned my head to see if Jungkook was okay, he had this blank expression on his face. 

Jungkook stepped in front of me... like I was the one to be protected. My father watched us both, a bit taken back that I even stood up to him.

Both of our fathers both agreed to the terms I had demanded, and I knew deep down that if I ran away from this Jungkook would be the one thats punished. 

I had called Jimin after I had calmed down, explaining everything to him. I understood why he was upset, I was as well, but I had bigger things to worry about. He didn't really fight me, all he wanted was an explanation, we never had an issue like this before.

"Goodnight Kitten, I love you." He was so sweet and loving

"I love you too." I hung up the phone.

Weeks went by and it was time for me to end it with Jimin. Jungkook and I really didn't get to talk about what had happened, and we really didn't want too. It was to soon.

I was avoiding Jimin, and he knew it. I really thought I could just disappear. 

We planned a coffee date, everything was normal we laughed, he was charming and sweet. He kissed my hand, his alluring eyes staring into my soul. I had to do it.. this was the time.

Reluctantly pulling my hand away I gave him one more sweet smile, before I had to end it.

"Jimin" I couldn't look up at him, he already knew what was coming.

He wasted no time moving to my side, touching the side of cheek.

"Kitten, I know..I will be here when you get back." He leaned up kissing me tenderly.
"Lets get you home.." we walked to the car.
My back pressed against the door, he was going in for a kiss. Its not that I didn't want it, but I had to make it clear we were breaking up.

"Jimin, we are breaking up." I was doing my best to stay strong.

"Yes, we are breaking up.." Jimins voice was broken, and it hurt, but there was nothing I could do.
