My heels click against the marble floor as I walk down the hall, dressed in a flamboyant black gown and stiletto heels.
Although it shouldn't mean anything, it does.
Dahyun was right. She wasn't entirely correct when she suggested that I should enter another relationship, but she was correct when she suggested that I should find someone who could assist me in forgetting my past.
Not only that. Giving me such an idea brought another brilliant thought into my head. I was Jungkook's ex. He claimed to love me.
How delightful would it be for him to witness me in a relationship with someone else? Not just any man, but Yuta.
I saw the way he was filled with rage at the bachelor's party. I also remember how he always stared at Hyo Seop with clenched jaws because he thought we were together. Jealousy always swept through him whenever he saw me with a man.
The elevator takes me up to the second floor, where Yuta is waiting for me at the restaurant. He might consider this a date, but I don't.
When the elevator opens, I see him immediately. He is standing and looks nervous. Suddenly, his face breaks into a smile when he sees me approaching him.
"Hi" l waves with a light smile.
"Hey, you look amazing," he compliments, rushing over to help me with the chair.
"Thank you." I say, sitting quietly, glancing around to see that there are only a few people around here.
The restaurant looks classy. When he flips back into his seat, we stare at each other in silence, both smiling. I am smiling because l have no choice.
Yuta is a good guy, obviously. Dahyun won't stop praising him. Taeyong asked Jungkook to be his best man instead of him because he didn't know if he would make it.
Taeyong and Yuta are best friends. From what I've seen of Taeyong, he seems to be good and true to Dahyun. I respect him. But I can't. I don't like Yuta that way. I don't think I can ever feel any sort of attraction for him when I haven't felt anything for over two weeks that we have been communicating.
I know his intentions, but I am not interested.
lsn't it high time I told him that?
I know I tagged along all this time just to please Dahyun and to annoy Jungkook, but I feel guilty, and I don't want to lead him on until it is too late to back out.
This is not a relationship. Friendship is the only thing I can promise anyone at the moment.
"You look breathtaking, Vero." Yuta mutters again, staring at me intensely.
"Thank you." I say with another smile before taking the menu he is passing to me. We order, and the waiter disappears, leaving us in silence again.
When I realize he is still staring at me, I wave my hand in front of him to pull him back to life. He jerks backward and smiles faintly.
