Yuanfen : Destined To Be Together

Chapter 32

Nandini

My eyes were closed, leaning back on the seat as he drove back to Seoul.

It's nearly 12 am. We will reach Seoul in two hours.

The atmosphere in the car, between us, was not as lighthearted as it was when we were coming here from Seoul.

I know it's because of me.

But, what can I do? I just can't shake that weird feeling off.

Now, I'm even questioning why did I want to visit the temple in the first place.

Am I overthinking?

But I don't like the way I'm feeling.

I opened my eyes and stole a glance at Jimin's side profile.

He isn't talking much too. Is he mad at me?

I sighed softly. Shaking my head a little to brush off those thoughts, I looked out the window.

It was all quiet except the steady hum of the engine.

I don't even know how to start a conversation now. And this quietness....it's eating me up.

ugh, damn my anxiety.

I looked around and straightened up a little when he pulled the car over a 24-hour convenience store.

-"What happened?" I asked, watching him as he unbuckles his seatbelt.

-"Let's go eat something." He smiled at me before getting out of the car.

He smiled.

Means, he is not mad at me, right?

Before I could stop thinking and get out of the car myself, Jimin was already standing there, waiting for me to come out after he opened the door.

This....is a bit....too humble....

-"Are you going to sit there all night or come out too?"

his voice had it's playful tone, making me smile wider. I stepped out of the car, and waited for him as he locked the door.

We stepped inside the store together. I followed Jimin as he picked some snacks for us.

I started feeling a bit restless. My own brain wants to think the negative first.

Somehow, I didn't like being in here, with him, not as a fan but as a friend. And I felt guilty for not liking it too.

I only said, "Anything you like" when he asked me what I wanted to eat. I just wanted to go home and sleep.

And I know even after sleeping for hours, I won't be able to stop thinking about the incident that happened back in the temple.

Jimin pulled out a chair for me before moving to sit across from it. As we sat down together, I didn't realize I was doing everything mechanically.

-"Still thinking about the diya?" He spoke casually as we started eating.

Getting startled, I choked on the drink and started coughing.

-"Careful..."

He took the drink from my hand and made me drink water.

You're ruining me just like this, love.

-"N-no...it's..."

-" "not that. it's just"....right?"

As our eyes met, for the first time, even after knowing these eyes for long, I couldn't read his emotions.
