No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 6: New Beginnings

Present Time

(Narrator's POV)

Life wasn't necessarily the same ever since Jungkook and Seoyeon split ways. Seoyeon was fulfilling her dreams of being a baker, running the most popular cupcake shop in South Korea. Jungkook was a successful and known photographer in South Korea, exhibiting all of his works.

The two of them have grown separate for almost one year.

Throughout the whole year alone, Seoyeon managed to buy herself her own condo, and she developed a stronger relationship with her parents once again. And if her life couldn't have gotten better, she was pretty proud of herself at where she was standing.

On the other hand, Jungkook didn't waste any time. He never let one year go to waste. He did listen to Seoyeon, he ran after Haeun.

Jungkook found himself in America, finding Haeun and her boyfriend settling in their new house. Left with a broken heart, he came back to Seoul on a cold night, receiving an invitation to her wedding.

And if things were bound to get worse, Jungkook definitely changed that.

He found himself trying to piece everything back together. With the remnants of his broken-heart, he found himself rummaging through photos and candids in his own little memory card. Jungkook managed to find himself falling in love again.

But this time, not with Haeun.

On a perfect Saturday morning, Seoyeon was running around the shop's kitchen, picking up endless trays of cupcakes with the two of her hands. Although, running a successful cupcake shop was never easy. She ran the shop with only two of her employees, Chanwoo and Bora.

Bora managed to become a natural business woman, also a perfectionist. She took the opportunity in running the cupcake shop with Seoyeon, her best friend.

Chanwoo was a first year university student, one year younger than Seoyeon. He was looking for a job to earn money to pay off his student loans as soon as he could. He also had the dreams of becoming an engineer, but he was also an impressive baker.

The three of them manage to run the shop in an organized fashion, and until this day, Seoyeon could've never wished a better dream team.

"I'm here, am I late?" Bora rushed into the shop, kicking off her converse shoes and replacing them with some flats.

Seoyeon came out from the kitchen doors with two trays of vanilla cupcakes in each hand, looking at Bora who looked like she had run a mile. "You're not late, you're just in time."

"Oh, thank God." She sighed with relief, putting her hair up into a ponytail.

Bora took a seat in the corner of the shop, right near the cashier countertop. She pulled out her laptop and nibbled on her pencil. "I woke up really late today, if you were wondering."

"How did you read my mind?" Seoyeon chuckled and Bora shrugged her shoulders.

"I figured, you've been staring at me for three minutes straight." Bora flipped her hair flirtily, "or am I just that beautiful that you can't resist staring?"

"For someone who's older than me by three months, you're really different." Seoyeon placed a hand on her hip. "How was your date?"

Bora glanced at Seoyeon, standing onto her feet as she skipped towards her. Seoyeon felt the ends of her lips tug into a smile as she grabbed her hands.

"It was magical, Taehyung and I walked along the boardwalk last night." She replied, almost in a daze, making Seoyeon burst out into laughter. "What are you laughing at?"
