Yuanfen : Destined To Be Together

Chapter 19

Jimin
Flashback

-"Your card." Jungkook spoke nonchalantly, walking past me, leaving my mouth agape in shock.

-"Seriously!? Just for a--"
-"Either it's your Mohtarma or your card."

I narrowed my eyes. It really drives me crazy that this little brat knows so much about Indian culture.

I sighed heavily, seeing no other options left.

-"My Mohtarma."
-"Exactly." he reached out his hand, demanding my black card.

I rolled my eyes, reluctantly handing him what he was practically begging for but in a clever way.

So basically, Jungkook's childhood friend, Chaein is the head of the Software Development department of the Google branch in Seoul. He is going to request her friend to send Nandini to the apartment I chose for her.

It was damn hard to manage the apartment right beside mine.

But it's fine, because it's her. She is my celebrity. She can live with me. *sassy hair push back*

All my money is going to manage these guys. First Namjoon, and now Jungkook.

And besides, now she's going to be my neighbour. I can text her with my number. Why did I take Namjoon to Guggenheim!?
Why did I create so many accounts...

Only if I knew she'd be transferred here anyways.

Present time

My thoughts got interrupted as I heard faint love songs coming through the her door. Not exactly her door, through the wall that separates our apartments.

I smiled, moving around my apartment as I jammed and danced along the music.

Hoping we'll dance together some day.

Nandini

I danced around the empty apartment. My favorite love songs playing on loop. Everything felt like a movie. Perhaps a dream. I took out my diary and pen from my luggage and started to write.

"I fell for him once again.
When I looked into his eyes, and his smile.
The way he spoke to me,
The way he tried to ease my nerves,
Even when he merely knows me.

I fell for him once, twice, thrice....a hundred times after the night we first met.

I fell for him a little more with each interaction.
Even if we never have a future together, I will keep loving him, until my last breath.

I don't want to stop loving him."

I didn't realize when the whole day passed. I was busy settling my stuff in the apartment. It's actually huge for one person. I just hope I don't freak out when I'll sleep at night.

But, the surprising fact is that, this apartment is fully furnished, with every necessary furniture. I don't remember Google giving me so many facilities back in California? At least, they didn't pay my bill.

My shoulders slumped as I sat on the couch. This apartment is actually too good to be true. Really. I wonder how much it costed?
After a moment of sitting on the couch and looking around, I realized I needed to go out to buy groceries for dinner.

As I got ready go out, my thoughts unconsciously drifted to Jimin. Probably, he's out by now, practicing and stuff. I wonder if he's eating well or not...

I should've asked him.

I don't know, every time I see him, I get tangled over my words and if I try to speak at that time, I'll be embarrassing myself really well. But...I need to talk to him. Or he might think I'm autistic.

I shook my head to myself. No, no, I need to speak properly. Doesn't matter if it's my crush or a celebrity. I'm working in a respectful position too, right? I should talk properly, with confidence.

-"Hi, actually at that time I was taken aback to see you here."
huh? It doesn't sound friendly at all. It sounds as if I'm some queen or something.

-"Hey, how was your day? Actually I didn't expect to meet you here so sudden."
IT'S HIS PLACE. Goddamn. What am I doing?

uuuugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I ruffled my hair which I had just brushed. No, it's...
I'm so dumb that I can't even form a proper friendly sentence to talk to him? Ew.

I pouted and sat on the edge of my bed. I think I should start taking lessons on how to initiate a conversation with my crush.

Does he have a girlfriend already?

uh....what am I thinking? stupid girl. Stop wasting your time and go get groceries.

***

I locked my apartment and unconsciously looked around, not knowing which apartment was exactly his.

I sighed softly and started walking to the elevator, thinking he's out.

My heart almost leaped with joy when I heard his voice calling me out.

-"Nandini!"
My heart beat increased at a reflex when I turned around. He was locking his apartment door. He smiled while walking closer to me.

Oh, how much I adore this smile. This smile, it just lights up my dark world in a blink, and makes me forget everything else.

He's even more beautiful up close.

I smiled back at him, bravely trying to initiate a proper conversation.

-"Hey. Actually...at that time...I didn't know that you lived here...so..."

-"It's okay." He smiled, gesturing to follow him as he approached the elevator.

This is why I love him, so much.

-"Did you settle in properly? I can help you if you want."

His soft voice easily calmed my heart down. I shook my head with a smile.

-"It's okay. Everything was arranged already. I just needed to organize my stuff."

He keeps smiling, making me smile back at him.

-"May I know where you're going now?"
-"Grocery shopping." I smiled a little wider, wishing we could go together.

-"Really?" He chuckled, making me frown.

-"Did I say something wrong?" I watched him curiously as he shook his head while chuckling.

-"I'm going for grocery shopping too."
