My Worst Mistake {JJK}

Chapter 40: Maldivian Blues

Y/n's Pov

(Few Hours earlier) - Flashback

A part of me wanted to retreat from this meet-up as soon as I laid eyes on the familiar brunette woman I was to meet. Well, technically she wasn't familiar to me, I only recognized her by the description of her appearance that she gave me over text.

Without thinking much, I went to sit beside her. Right from the corner of my eyes, I saw her move in her chair to face me. My throat went dry, so dry that I couldn't bring myself to even fake the unnecessary formalities of officially introducing myself.

She circled her glass with her middle finger before her long nails tapped on it and with that she fully gained my attention. I knew right then and there I had to stop being a nonchalant idiot and begin to say something at least.

"I see there is already so much tension in the air, well nice to finally meet you, Yewon or do you prefer Ms Jung?" I finally let the words loose. I couldn't deal with all the tension dancing around the air.

"Just Yewon would do and you? Is it Mrs Jeon or just Y/n?"

"Just Y/n." I said before staring at the bartender that offered to take my order and I just went with water.

"I am actually very curious about this one thing. It's not a coincidence that you and Ju-, I mean your husband are having your honeymoon in the same city I have been staying in for months now, right?"

The slight pause right after Jungkook's name said a lot and my empathic side almost touched her hand to comfort her but I couldn't bring myself to do that. She was still a stranger to me perhaps even an enemy because we were definitely never going to be friends. So many things have happened due to Jungkook's past, Yewon's revenge and all of that messed up my whole life. I still live in the remnants of all the chaos that Jungkook and Yewon's battle has left behind.

"Well, that is not a question I can simply answer with a yes or no. We always wanted to come to Maldives together, but I ditched other options to make sure that I could finally meet you. You are a hard woman to find after all."

"You are not a hard woman to find but just hard to get in touch with." She chuckled and took a sip of her pink drink that seemed to be a Strawberry Daiquiri. I spaced out for a second when her words finally sank in.

"Why have you been meaning to be in touch with me? What do you want?"

"I don't know exactly but I feel like you deserve some closure after being dragged into matters that didn't even concern you. At least if not you then me. I want to move on with my life Y/n and I don't think I can when I hurt someone who didn't even deserve it. My enemy was your husband not you and more especially not your child that had to grow up without a father just because of my revenge schemes."

She looked down the whole time as she uttered her words. I just kept nibbling on my inner cheek to distract the turbulent thoughts and emotions I was feeling. It was as if with every word, I was just replaying everything, from our break-up to all those years of being a single mother.

"Why now? What changed your mind?" I finally asked when my train of thoughts started to die down. I simply ignored the fact that she knew so much about what has been happening in my life when I kept so many things private.
