fate

go get him

they both reached the hotel. it was an expensive hotel. they went and sat at the reserved table.

they both ordered some steak and ate it while talking. then dessert came. while eating dessert, 

ji-eun: let me tell you a story about me that only seulgi knows. no one else.

Jungkook: okay?

ji-eun: you know why I quit working as a psychologist?

Jungkook: no.

ji-eun: I was working as a psychologist and I loved every moment of it. Do you know the high zium studio?

Jungkook: yeah.

ji-eun: an actor of theirs was very stressed and was not doing well mentally. it was taking a toll on his career. so they hired me as a psychologist for him. his name was lee Jong Suk.

Jungkook: you were lee Jong Suk's therapist!!!!

ji-eun: yeah. and he was a wonderful person. I managed to get his career back on track, but in the meantime, we...

Jungkook: you what???

ji-eun: we fell in love. we got carried away in love. we started dating.

Jungkook: you dated lee-Jong-Suk!!! what happened after?

ji-eun: we both were spotted a few times by his fans. his company made us break up. but that never reduced my love for him. I knew that I should not fight his company. I left him in peace. except... except a month later.

Jungkook: a month later?

ji-eun: I found out I am pregnant.

Jungkook: Jennie is Jong Suk's daughter???

ji-eun nodded.

ji-eun: my life turned upside down. my parents kicked me out. I had the choice of going to him and telling him I was carrying his baby. but I didn't want his career to end. so I quit being a therapist and got any job I could. I raised Jennie alone. but that doesn't mean I don't miss him. 

Jungkook: why are you telling me this?

ji-eun: do you remember why we got married?

Jungkook: for merging our companies.

ji-eun: exactly. don't you remember our deal the day we decided to get married?

Jungkook: our deal?

ji-eun: we got married but we were still friends. it was a contract marriage. we were never in love. we were in love but just for the world. I am not in love with you. and I know you are not in love with me either. so stop refraining yourself because you think it would be cheating on me and make a move on taehyung.

Jungkook: what???

ji-eun: what you and taehyung have is completely different from the love people have today. your love is so pure and true that the world can't tarnish it. you guys were meant to meet again. it is fate. you guys are meant to be together.

Jungkook: I know but I had promised myself I would touch or look at someone else till my status is married. No matter what you say, I can't break my promises.

ji-eun: I knew it. that's why I prepared this. 

she kept a file in front of him. he opened it and realized what it was. they were divorce papers.

Jungkook: are they-- are they-

ji-eun: real? yeah. you can sign them whenever you want. but now I need you to go get your man. I can't see you both hurting yourselves everyday. you are my best-friend and he is like my son.

Jungkook: okay...

ji-eun: what are you waiting for? go!!!

Jungkook: wait let me pay the bill...

ji-eun: I'll pay it for god's sake. just go!!!

Jungkook got up and ran. meanwhile ji-eun completed her dessert with a small sad smile on her face. she was happy at least Jungkook was going to get his happy ending. her happy ending was kind of impossible. her happy ending was with lee Jong Suk and she was pretty sure he must have moved on.

she payed the bill and decided to walk home. Jungkook had gone walking so the car was still their but she asked the driver to take it home. she was walking down the street, her mind full of memories with her love.

she had locked those memories far away in a vault the moment Jennie had been bore. after all, she had to be strong for the sake of Jennie. but today released all those memories.
