Out Of Love [short story - hopemin ff]

Pt. 17: housewarming party

Lunch | 5:26pm.

"I'm glad you finally have a higher position," she smiles at him after they ordered their food.

".. it took time but I'm finally and much more financially stable.. without you." He nods.

He only got in because of her but he wasn't getting paid as good because of his and her spendings plus the cost of their expensive home.

But he saved up for a good 4 months so he could move back to South Korea. Now he's got a higher position and had a lot of money saved up, his limit for you is unlimited, although you don't use it for yourself.

"Jimin.. I want you to come back with me.. let's get married and have kids."

He sighs, taking a moment to take that in. She didn't need to try hard to persuade him and convince him. She never needed to. All she had to do was ask and he'd do anything for her.

"You were getting comfortable with Leo and I ignored it because I don't care that other guys want you. Only as long as I had you, I was happy... I knew you had a little crush on him but you never disappointed me, you stayed loyal to me and I loved you for that."

"So why don't you come back? Y/n doesn't care about you, she's just a little girl still trying to find her way in life. I'm a grown adult-"

"It doesn't matter... I want her." He looks at the center of table, he didn't want to see her sad expressions, that makes him weak to her, when he sees that she's sad.

"You're gonna be disappointed by her. She's obviously immature and depending on others. You want a grown woman who's independent and strong. She's weak."

"You know what, maybe I changed what I like in a girl. She's exactly what I need and want.. she's immature but I can handle it, she depends on others but I want her to depend on me and have faith in me and know that I can take care of her. Unlike you, you always tell me you don't need me." Now he's glaring at her.

She sighs, "I'm sorry.." she tries to hold Jimin's hand across the table, and he lets her hold the top of his hand "I'm sorry I did what I did to you.." she sniffles softly, "I promise I'll change. I want to be your wife."

He's having second thoughts, staring at the ring he bought for her on her finger, so they remain there for another 2 hours, talking about the past and future, her constantly bashing on you, he knew she's trying to sway him her way but her talking shit was making him upset. He didn't like it and he didn't like that look on her. She wasn't the type to talk trash about someone but I guess people change. He tries to keep his guard up, he knows where his heart really belongs, Diana was just making it hard for him.

You wear your clothes, trying to run out but Jimin's blocking the door.

"You said she didn't come home with you." You puff in annoyance.

Jimin's still in his boxers, "I didn't lie!"

Diana comes out of the room, "I didn't come with him y/n.." she says, feeling bad because you're yelling at Jimin, "I came by myself.. Jimin said I can come here anytime.. and the hotel's too far from work so I came here..."

"You know what.. that's fine. Go ahead, sleep on the bed, do whatever you guys want," you look at Jimin, "we're not dating anyways, not like I should give a fuck who's sleeping in his bed at night." You growl quietly the second time so only Jimin hears.

"Baby– I didn't know she was here!"

"It's okay Jimin, honestly, I don't care," you show a sarcastic fake smile, "I don't have feelings for you. I'm just using you for your money and your car, I actually never liked you.., I was just using you to get over Hobi.."
