Chapter 16

(A/n: Listen to this song through out the chapter. I'd look at the lyrics first then play it over.)

Seokjin's POV
Seven days ago

"I'll be back when May gets back from her honeymoon. And you'll know the truth. And hopefully you'd still want me then." I plant a kiss on her head, I was really hoping that she wouldn't let me go. She can't even look up at me, I hated myself for what I've done to her. "Seulgi.." I plead quietly, hoping.

"Look at me." I waited patiently, but she didn't budge. "Just go." She says, lightly pushing me away. And now she was out of my embrace. I stare at her for a while, hoping to look into her eyes one last time before I walk away. She shuts her eyes tight. I let out a small breath and turn for the door, walking out without looking back. In a time like this, it's hard not to.

There was so much anger about myself, and May. All of this was definitely not just my fault. But I couldn't be the one to blame everything of one person, even if it was because of her. I felt extremely gloomy. I looked up at the sky, the sun was up and shining. Though it was a happy sun, I wasn't. I couldn't feel that happiness that the sun was already able to offer me.

My warmth had been taken from me. I was unable to feel warm inside. I felt myself ready to cry and I got into my car. I sat in the drivers seat for a while, staring off into space. I had realized that I had strong feelings for Seulgi. It was one of those things, when you want something or someone once it's gone. I've realized that I'm in love with Seulgi.

I hated that I waited until now to feel it. I shake my feelings way and start up my car, pulling away from the apartment. And I begin to head home, alone. Not that I was planning to take Seulgi home with me. I was just hoping that leaving her house today could be peaceful. I was hoping that we could work something out.

I let out a breath and stare at the stop sign, looking both ways then continuing with my drive home. I've realized that I'd have to talk to May, this was the answer. I hurry with my drive so that I'm not talking while driving. I finally get home, park my car and pull out my phone. I pick her contact and send a call.

"Hello?" She answers. "May." I say. I can hear shuffling a lot, foot steps, then a door close. "What is it Seokjin? I'm a little busy right now." She asks, I look down at the steering wheel and play with the small thread sticking out. "Let me just say it." I whisper.

"What is it?" She asks, she must have heard me. It's now or never. "I told Seulgi about the bet." I finally say. "You did what!?" She screams, I wince. Her voice hurt my ear. "May. Calm down. She doesn't believe me. But it's okay. When you come back from your honeymoon, you can tell her the truth." I say. "I really care about her May, and I told her because I didn't want there to be secrets between us." I explain to her. "She didn't believe you?" She asks.

She was ignoring me, what is she planning on doing? What ever it was, it wasn't good.

"Y-Yeah. She didn't, but like I said. It'll be okay cause you'll tell her the truth and I can be with her. . Hopefully." I say. I can sense her smile on the other side of the call. "Okay." She says. I smile. "Okay." I reply. "I have to go now." She says, her voice a little weird. I couldn't put my finger on it. "I'll see you when you get back." I say anyways. "Okay." She replies with again. "Bye." She ends the call.

I sit there for a while, there was this gut feeling I had. It was trying to tell me something, but it wasn't clear. So I just give up on it, it was probably nothing. I finally get out of the car and head into my house.

I look at the clock that hung from the wall, it was still early. I take out my phone and call Namjoon. He picks up on the this ring. "Aye. Seokjin. What's up?" He answers. I frown to the thought of what had taken place today. "Namjoon. You busy?" I ask. I hear him hum as if he was thinking. "If you do, don't worry about it." I say.
