05 : the plight of an heir

• you could break my heart in two,
but when it heals, it beats for you
i know it's forward, but it's true
i wanna hold you when i'm not supposed to
when i'm lying close to someone else •

| Hamgye, Korea |

"—HENCE the convergence of Korea-Taiwan is such a game-changer especially in this economic situation whereas—" he closed his eyes and leaning back to the chair, blocking each voice.

"Jungkook, Jungkook," a soft voice from his left side. "Jungkook," this time he felt his body was being shaken slowly. "Rosie?" he mummers unconsciously. "Shit!" He straightened his back as he opens his eyes abruptly. "Tzuyu,"

She removed her hands from his shoulders, "You dozed off and thank God,  your father didn't notice. Are you okay? Should I make your coffee and bring snacks for you ?" Jungkook nodded as he slowly got up. As Tzuyu trail behind him, Jungkook abruptly stopped in his tracks causing her to collide with him.

"Sorry," He said facing her. "What for ?" Tzuyu had a puzzled face, but it was replaced with a smile. "I'll bring the refreshments soon, you go up first." She excuses herself. Jungkook watched as her silhouette disappeared from his eyes.

"—For loving someone else when we're engaged." He said to himself. He took a peek at his ring and sighed. "Is there a way I can set us free ?"

"THERE'S my responsible brother," A harsh pat on his back. He whistled as they watched Tzuyu walked away which made Jungkook smacked his chest. "Stop being disrespectful to women. What are you doing here ?" Jungkook scowled at him.

"I heard rumours that my little brother is a little messed up, I mean that's not a surprise for me. All your friends are a little messed up. You all put up the facade, a plastered smiling mask with a crown that's too heavy  and pretend that everything is going great with your lives while each of every one of your masks is falling apart and soon your crown is gonna fall too."

"If you came here to belittle me, I don't even care, but throwing harsh comments at my friends? Who gave you the right to do that ?" Jungkook grabbed him by his collar, his fist was ready to aim straight to his face.

"Are you denying the fact that everyone in your life is a little messed up. "Take your girlfriend, for example, your fiancee is taking great care of you yet she still holds on to the ring. Does she even know her worth? Oh, wait—someone associated with you is always worthle—"

Jung Hyun stumbles backwards as he felt a sting at the corner of his lips, but he continued to provoke him, "Did you put a spell on dear Rosie? I saw her as a rare flower but after learning that she was yours, the flower faces a permanent wilting and you know what happens next? They face death."

"I fucking told you not to disrespect women," Jungkook screamed at him, Tzuyu who heard the commotion ran as he pulled Jungkook back from harming his brother more. "I want you to keep her fucking name out of  your sewer smelt mouth!" 

"JUNGKOOK!" Tzuyu shouted to his senses when Jungkook was about to punch him again. "Just stop it," Tzuyu held his forearm tighter,  before pulling him towards his office. "Wait here, I'll get the first aid kit for your knuckles." Tzuyu sat him down and went to grab the kit.

"You're pathetic." Tzuyu spat when she passed by Jung Hyun. "Excuse me ?" Jung Hyun held her back. "You're pathetic and mere a child. Provoking him, injuring him, hurting him physically and emotionally won't make you the heir, if that's what you're aiming for."

Jung Hyun eyes bulged as he went closer to Tzuyu, "You better watch your mouth. And for the record, Jk was the one who screws me. He screws me so bad that I became undeserving in my father eyes to be their heir. He's the devil in this story, not me, love. I'm just a Lucifer that he created. " He twirled the ends of her hair and leave the place.

"He's—he's right." A voice from behind her answered the questioned that he knew she wouldn't dare to ask. Jungkook closes his eyes as he laid back on the couch in the office. The light was dim and it was getting closer to midnight but he knew that his fiancee was home safely.

He was the one who drove her and she didn't say much after his revelation. He wasn't surprised. He recalls the day he told Jennie the jealousy that he felt when his brother started getting attention as the heir. He snitched his brother worst he snitched his own mother.

| Melbourne — Korea |

"HERE GOES nothing," the familiar air hits her as soon as she went out of the airport on the lookout of any Lisa's car. When she spotted the familiar car, she went to the passenger's side and settle herself without looking at the driver too much. "Gosh, I'm actually famished again from the flight. Might need sweets tho." She complained as she took off her jacket.

When the side was too silent, she was weird out with the fact that Lisa was too quiet. It was out of the character for her, too weird, she looks to her side and it seemed as if her world stop. Her hands were on the door handle but she couldn't even pull it. "Hi, cupcake. I know a new place that serves the best desserts."

Rosé was stunned and it was useless since the doors were locked. She hugged herself as she sent out her resentment and curses to her friend. "How dare she?" She said out loud ignoring the awkward silence phase they were in.

"God, I swear she's gonna get a hearing when I meet her. I am never letting this one slide away from me. I am famished and infuriated." She hugs herself as she avoids eye contact and looks out the city of Hamgye. "So, you are hangry. That seems appropriately describe you well." Rosé heard the laugh that was trying to escape but failed as the laugh was just like how she remembers how it was.

"Why— why are we torturing ourselves ?" Rosé wasn't sure if the questioned was meant for herself or for the other person but she didn't expect any answers as she would rather the questioned being blurred out from the melody of the songs from the radio. The car was halted as they stopped at the traffic light. Rosé wasn't sure if she heard correctly or it was a dream but she could read the way his mouth says the word and it was, "because we love one another too much."
