(Namjin) Lost in Love

Fateful Encounter

Chapter 1:

Fateful Encounter

Kim Namjoon

Flashback

Ever since I saw him for the first time at college, I quickly fell for his charming looks and adorable face although I had no idea who he is. He appeared so innocent, quiet and sweet, he made me lost somewhere or I should say a mysterious land called love.

He enrolled in my class that day. Too bad, I didn't have a chance to know his name because the lecturer didn't call us one by one to check the absent like usual. The next week, on the same subject, I thought he'd be coming again. I was gonna take a shot to find out who he is, but he never came until my graduation and I genuinely forgot about him, moving on to my next life as CEO at the company my dad owned.

3 years had passed...

I was a busy man. I spent my time mostly working on my office and met my clients outside. On the weekend, I went out with my best buddies from the rapper club, Hoseok and Yoongi or I preferred to call them J-Hope and Suga - their stage name. J-Hope was my roommate. We lived together since college and now he owned a dance studio. While Suga was composer and music producer. Aside from that I also had time for my girlfriend. We had a date or dinner at a fancy restaurant once in a while. She was even a busier person than I was.

My girlfriend, Gwan Myung Hwa is pretty much a classy lady. Her father owned a famous class A cosmetic company in Seoul. With her beauty and artistic talent, she worked as a model. I knew her from my dad's business partner (well, I was going to say my dad's friend but I thought business partner was describing their relationship even more). My dad was fascinated by her beauty and smart brain; he told me to date her and mentioned that we'd be a powerful couple in Seoul. I kinda agreed with his decision. Besides, my mom supported us and Myung Hwa seemed taking interest on me too. So we dated for six months until now. She was pretty, but I felt our relationship was rather blunt. It appeared like I didn't impress her with my style and she obviously avoided me lately. I had no idea why and I didn't want to overthink about her. She didn't hold that important role in my life.

After I had won that Ten million dollars project my dad gave me this month, I decided to take a long vacation from all the madness gnawing my mind. I felt so free, alive that I finally had a chance to relax at some place where my dad or Myung Hwa couldn't find me. I lied to them about going overseas. Yeah, I was pretty much sure they wouldn't check my ticket or passport, they didn't give a shit about my vacation. In fact, I simply stayed at a penthouse located at suburban area to release my stress from the cruel world I had been facing all these times with JHope and Suga. I needed to refresh my mind by being alone (Being alone meant staying away from work, girlfriend and family, not totally oneself). I would like to do the things I wanted since long time. Well, maybe Hope and Suga had a job to do during the day but We really should hang out and celebrate my temporary freedom.

Today, I decided to visit my favorite restaurant at Gangnam. Leaving my suits and dressing casually in comfort, I went there without hesitation, booking a table for one and sat on the corner, far from the crowd. I missed this feeling and seriously I preferred this kind of situation rather than spending time with my girlfriend. It had been six months and I already had a bad feeling with our relationship, I shouldn't take her too far I guessed. She no longer amused me with her beautiful face, she kinda bored me with her attitude. Maybe I better stop fooling around and look for the love of my life which I believe not Myung Hwa.

Wait...Will be there someone who really loves me out there? I am not so sure. Many girls I have dated just want my body or my money. Geez... It's hard for me to believe in true love...
