Nayna pov

Many things were going on inside my mind, so obviously I'm having a great difficulty in focusing on one. I wonder how some things or the other always find my way and destroy the little peace of mind that I have. I sighed to myself before clicking the delete button because I didn't like the template of the mail I typed right now.

Right now, I have a strong urge to drink another coffee, but too much caffeine is also a threat to my body.

I stretched my hands towards the monitor and cracked my knuckles to release some stress and I looked blankly at the screen and suddenly the entire murmurings stopped around me as if they saw something Or someone unexpected and since I felt a silhouette of a man standing in front of my cubicle I looked up only to see Jimin smiling at me.

I smiled at him back forgetting that we were being watched by the other staffs. He eyed the surroundings before saying, "can we talk in private? "

Even though I had a smile on my face, still I frowned and said doubtfully, "sure?" He nodded at me and I pushed my chair back so that I can have some space to stand on my feet.

But before I could do, my eyes landed on my friend Daeun as she mouthed, "he's so hot! "

I chuckled and said, "indeed he is".

I didn't mind anyone around me and walked to a space where we could talk freely because I already know the context behind this talk.

We walked towards an isolated area of our office as I said, " Jimin, I know what you're upto , but let me make myself clear in prior, whatever you saw now is our reality, it is how we are now. All we have is a professional relationship between an employee and an employer, no strings of past attached. His eyes which I could decipher are the ones that hide mysteries now. It's becoming impossible for me to read him, his mind or his eyes. We lost that connection we had in the past and Past is always a past, no one can bring a change until and unless if that person is willing to. In our case, both of us prefer to remain as strangers and let us be. Don't be a mediator again because it's really useless now. You always gave me updates about him when you were in London and I really do appreciate you for that and I can easily guess you would have given about my whereabouts to him either. But things have changed, our priorities changed. We have our own life where we have to invest our time, money, energy and love. So drop this thing already Jimin, it's better to each one of us. Recently I had to listen to the long lectures of Tae and Hanji, even the busy national players advised me. Not again Jimin, because I do believe you since you understand me better. "

I said what I had in my mind and felt as if I had put down a huge stone from my chest. But he had a straight bored expression on his face as he said, "you done? "

I was taken aback, still I nodded and said, "guess I'm "

He let out a breathe and said, "now hear me out! That guy who's sitting inside the goddamn cabin isn't in his right mind and now you're losing your mind either, isn't it enough for you to understand that you guys are made for each other? "

"Was that supposed to be a sarcasm or a satire? "

"I'll leave it to you. Anything you choose could do. "

I sighed and looked away as he failed to understand the seriousness behind this.

I couldn't form any sentences but I heard him say, "see Nayna! Just as how he's important to me, so are you. I have known him for years and never once in my life I thought he would change into a worse man. But without me saying, you know that right? Aren't you concerned about his change and loneliness? The guy who used to be the example of extremely extrovert, changed into a person having social anxieties and the same goes to you too. Where's that bubbly and bold Nayna who used to retort back with cutthroat replies? And when did you start getting so naive and so sensitive? Look, either you can be each other's safe place with the love and care or else get rotten from the pain you hold whenever you come face to face. Don't try to lie on my face that the memories doesn't hit you whenever you see him. Only you both can be each other's solace and safe place. Get this thing inside your head before it gets too late. "
