My Daughter | Jeongmin AU

You're Not Here, But Everywhere

" I hope you have enough time to prepare the choreos for two new songs", the tall man speaks while sipping his green tea.

Jimin is now at Kim Nam Joon's residence, a famous Korean song writer. He rose to popularity after producing songs for world famous kpop band Bangtan Sonyeondan. Park Ji Min was really surprised to see that his company could actually persuade this man to write new songs for him.

"Thanks, I never even imagined to get a chance of working with you", Jimin says politely.

"Same here, I am a big fan of your art", Namjoon says with a smile.

Jimin checks his watch, it's almost time to pick up Jihyun from school, he has to take bus from here. He then looks at Namjoon,

"Okay then meet you some other day, I have to leave now".

"How will you go?", Namjoon asks as he stands up.

"Will take a bus", Jimin replies.

"Oh I bought a new car recently, if you want you can borrow my old one till your stay in Korea", the tall guy offers.

"Oh really??that would be very helpful", the short guy accepts the offer.

Park Jimin is really in good mood now, he was really missing his car here in Seoul. He call Jeongyeon, she picks up almost immediately,

"Hey Jeongyeon, I will pick up Jihyun, you don't need to come", he informs.

"Thank you, I was just thinking of calling you, I am just so loaded here", she sighs.

As she ends the call, she hears small taps on her desk, she looks up to the figure standing in front of it, it's Jaebum,
"Can we talk?", he asks.

Now they are at the roof top, both are facing to the horizon, the visible skyscrapers in front of them.

"I am sorry for that day, on behalf of my mother", Jaebum says.

"It's okay, I understand", Jeongyeon replies.

Then there was an awkward silence.

"If you wanted to say that only then it's okay, now please excuse me I have some works pending", Jeongyeon bows to him and turns to leave.

"No wait", Jaebum grabs her hand to stop her.

She turns and shocked to see Jaebum's face, it looks like he is in pain.

"What is it? Did something happen?", she asks in a worried tone.

"Will you ever?", Jaebum can't finish the sentence. He feels too meek to ask her. He is so scared that she may reply honestly.

"Ever, what?", Jeongyeon sounds clueless.

"...love me?", Jaebum finally asks, the lady on the other hand looks flustered.

She slowly takes out her hand from Jaebum's grip and looks into his eyes,

"I promise, I will try".

Jaebum's heart drops, his nightmare comes true. Though he always has known but today she puts a seal on it.

She doesn't love him

"Is there someone else in your heart?", he asks further to the lady who looks apologetic. But before she could answer his phone rings, his boss has summoned him. Jaebum then leaves the conversation, incomplete.

Jeongyeon now looking at the blue sky, is thinking about Jaebum's question, is there someone?
