Chapter 21

Your point of view:

"Eun Ji-ah!"

I look at my friend sitting across the table, "Huh?"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes... I-I'm fine."

His gaze goes from my face to the table, "Are you sure? You've been acting strange ever since we left the office. I thought you wanted to talk but you haven't said a word and you barely touched your plate."

I try to focus on him while playing nervously with my fork but my mind is somewhere else, "No I'm just..."

Before I can finish he stands and puts his hand on my forehead, "You're a little warm, I think you might be covering something. I heard you went out last night, did you forget to cover yourself again?"

*Last night?*

The memories of the previous morning come back to me.

From all the boys in Seoul, why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be the brother of the man I'm in love with? And most importantly why did I let myself go? I had never meant to kiss him yet I responded when his lips touched mine. Why? How can they even be brothers? They're so different... Or are they? If I let myself being attracted to him there's definitely a reason. What do I do now? I can't go back...

Jimin waves his hand in front of me, pulling me out of my thoughts, a concern look on his face, "You're worrying me, are you sure you're okay?"

*No... I'm not!*

"I'm just... not feeling really well, can we please go?"

He nods and stands, putting his coat on, "Do you want me to drive you back home?"

I shake my head, holding on the hand he's giving me, "I still have work to do."

"Surely it can wait tomorrow."

"I'm not sure that's such a good idea. You know unlike you I have a boss, so I can't do whatever I want."

"Do you want me to go talk to her? She'll definitely give you a week off after I do." he says with a wink.

I nudge him with my elbow and a grin appears on his face making me sigh, "Men... Please don't. Last thing I need is for my best friend to come and help me out with my manager."

He puts his hand on my forehead one more time, "Fine but I'll come get you when you finish and we're coming home together."

I smile to him as we walk back to the office, "You know you're the best right?"

"I know, so don't you dare forget it!"

All the afternoon I'm having trouble focusing on my work. My head is pounding as a thousand more questions come rushing through it.

Even the criticisms of my boss don't seem to affect me.

I'm looking at Taehyung's name on my phone for the tenth time now, wondering if I should text him or not. There's a lot I want to ask him.

For a start why didn't he say anything knowing where I was working?

Kim Taehyung... Kim Taehyung... Kim Taehyung...

I keep repeating his name as if it would help me understand.

But why don't they have the same name? Did he lie to me about his last name? Maybe they don't have the same father? But... he told me his mother died when he was just a kid and I know Jungkook's mother is still alive.
