Taehyung spent the remaining few hours drinking himself to numbness.

He never should have returned to Seoul, it was a mistake coming back here. Now he has to see the girl of his dreams in the arms of his cousin.

He was still at the bar even as the welcoming started. All the attempts of the young ladies present to get his attention had all been in vain.

He wouldn't stop drinking let alone speak to anyone. He was getting what he wished for at least— to be numb to the pain and everything in between until she arrived.

Lisa was dressed in a milk-colored pink flora strapless gown. She had a pink half-cut fur coat that hung few inches below her neck with matching strapped-heels.

She was looking exceptionally beautiful than she was in the morning, making it harder for Taehyung to focus. She was all he could see as everything and everyone else become blurred.

He tried to stand up from the stool but his legs were numb and he knew he would fall and make a fool of himself, so he remained in his seat with his eyes glued on Lisa.

He was such a person, he knew when to go after what he wants and when to give up. But, ever since Lisa appeared in his life, all sense of reasoning eluded him.

Soon the music started and she was on the dance floor with Jungkook. He couldn't understand the sudden dislike he now felt towards his cousin.

Was it because Jungkook was with the woman of his dreams, or was it because he knew Jungkook doesn't really like her? Whatever the reason was, it was the first time he had felt such rage towards his cousin.

Jungkook and Taehyung had been more than just cousins, they had been brothers and best friends until he left Seoul five years ago.

Jeon Corp. had always been the Jeon's family business until Grandpa Jeon died and left his will, making his first son, Jeon Hyeondo the Chairman of Jeon Corporation. And his second son, Jeon Taeho, he made the Manager of Shanghai group which Jisoo was now in charge of after Taehyung went to Grenada.

As heir to the Shanghai group, his father wanted more from him and always compared him to Jungkook.

Jeon Taeho had always envied his brother's position as Chairman and had done some unethical things that could create enmity between siblings. So Taehyung left for his peace of mind and for his cousin's sake.

But, could it be that an enmity between both of them is inevitable?

Right now, he really hates the fact that Lisa was Jungkook's woman, and the fact that Jungkook doesn't want her makes him even more furious.

He soon blamed it on the alcohol, he was not thinking straight. Maybe a good night rest would bring his mind peace, so one last look at Lisa before he headed upstairs, then he saw it.

Taehyung's mind went on a personal rampage as his eyes fell on Jungkook's hands on Lisa's butt, and Lisa's struggle to be free of him.

He wanted to march down the dance floor, grab Jungkook by the neck and give him a good punch.

Luckily she broke free from his grip, giving him a little sense of satisfaction.

'Wait, what is wrong with me? They are both married now, so why am I still feeling the need to rescue her? She is his woman now, and I am nobody to her, but why do I feel this way? Lisa, what did you do to me?' Taehyung questioned himself.

His eyes fell on her again and this time, Jungkook's hand gripped her wrist forcefully and dragged her upstairs.

He quickly rushed on his feet, but the alcohol in his system protested against his obtrusion. His head felt heavy and his eyes were finding it hard to focus.
