The Liar And Her Love

Chapter 22:

Oct'22

It's finally the application season, I have already received my early acceptance. Seo Taeri has been accepted into Cornell University for psychology and I am extremely happy but I can't help but miss school. It was my escape from the tragic world I lived in.

Right now I was at my school's botanical garden. I usually plant few items here and it's open for everyone wveb if they don't study biology or something.

I touched the petals of the flower I was admiring, I'm probably the very few people who make a visit to the botanical garden except the biology students.

"You love flowers don't you?" Someone said and I flinched. I realised Jimin was beside me and crouched down at my level. Our faces inches away from each other.

My heart beats hit the roof with that when he chuckled and I swear I could pluck the stars for him.

"I'm sorry I scared you, it's just I see you admiring flowers all the time" He said and looked at the flower.

"It feels like a deja vu, remember when we hardly knew each other. You wished me birthday with a plot full of poppy flowers" he said and I smiled a little.

He remembers.

"Happy Birthday Jimin" I said and plucked a flowere before extending that to him. He looked at it for a while and then smiled.

"Thank you" he took the flower and put it behind his ear. Looking so cute. It was tilted and I wanted to touch his hair and fix the flower but with what right?

My eyes were only on that flower when I saw a hand reach out to his ear and tuck his hair, fix it and threw the flower.

"Oh baby, don't put a flower there, you look crazy" Nari said and he got up, a little suprised at his actions. I smiled and looked at them.

She has the right to do that.

"Oh hey, Taeri. Gardening again? Why are you obsessed with flowers, you don't look like a flower girl to me." She said and I smiled.

"I know right, why am I even obsessed with something that doesn't suit me" I answered, Jimin looked at me with confusion.

Oh sweetheart

Taeri pov

It has been a weeks since I took over. Venessa has finally gone nuts, it's her wedding at the end of the month and to honour her Indian origins, we are flying India for her Indian wedding.

Jungkook, an atheist who only cared about marrying venessa didn't care how to marry unless it's with venessa had no words against it. Everyone agreed to fly to India for a week at end of the month for the same.

We would intrigate a few Christian customs for venessa's grandmother. I'm kidding, she couldn't care less how, she also just wants her granddaughter to get married.

This fusion was my idea for atmost fun. As the maid of honour alongside co maid of honour Jiha it was my duty to play a major as the planner (we hired a professional wedding planner from India) also Jiha is absolutely useless.

I haven't seen her for a while except the random call I received 2 days ago. I just hope she makes an appearance at the wedding. Taehyung is also MIA.

Will they come atleast for a week?

I don't know. I don't care.

What I care about right now is it's our school reunion tomorrow. Venessa is hyped up for it, jungkook just wants to show of his fiance is Venessa and I also recived an invite this year since I'm in korea.

I'm definitely going and it's my mission to take jimin with me. He is going this year.

Thinking about him reminded me of the press conference. I made headlines after I pulled the stunt. Youth weirdly loves me and our stocks have gone up 6 fold. Something that has never happened before.

Just like how I recieved a bouquet, which has never happened before. Jimin gave me the prettiest flowers, daisies. So fucking beautiful, what a load of serotonin.

That black suit against the white flowers heavenly. I fell in love all over again. So pathetic but at the moment my heart beats took a new record. So loud and fast, I felt like I'll be back in the hospital again.

My hands shivered as I tucked that Daisy on his ear but I did it finally after so many years.

Just thinking about it makes me blush.

He simply smiled at me, later I noticed the Daisy flower wasn't on his ear. The disappointment only lasted a minute because then I noticed the Daisy flower in his pocket next to the handkerchief. So out of place yet so pretty.

I saw him interact with venessa's dad and jungkook's dad. Ryan suddenly went missing mid event.

I found out Sarang is at ha na's parents' home for a while, they really felt alone and wanted to spend time with her. Two people were alone btw. It's weird they still talk to jimin even after the only link between them died.

Then again, I'm not exactly good at understanding how family, blood and relationships work.

They had two daughters, one ditched jimin after giving birth to their daughter, the other died after taking care of her sister's daughter.

I'm just happy, Sarang experienced motherly love even if for a little bit of a time. If there is something common between me and Sarang is our bad mothers and love for jimin.

Ha na was diagnosed of cancer when Sarang turned 3 and weirdly jimin that dumbass blames himself for her situation. Says he was so busy he never realised she was sick until it was too late.

She should have never hid it either. Call me a bitch, but I have no sympathy for ha na and na ri.

I'm also grateful sarang never spent much time with ha na, I can absolutely become her favourite.

I signed the last file and smiled, it's 6 pm right now. I have finished today's workload and now I'm taking jimin shopping.

I was raised to take over this position since I was a child. But actually being in this position is surreal. This is where my mom used to be.
