Chapter 26

JiEun

I met him again, my fate with Jeon JungKook just doesn't end no matter how hard I tried to avoid him and yet he is still in my life and I see him when I don't want to see him. It is as if fate binds the two of us together and we are destined to be together but we can't be together, he is annoyingly single and I am engaged to a man who probably loves himself more than me. We are both in a situation that we are in, I am considered to be cheating if I get any closer to them and he will be the person who breaks up my relationship with Kim SeokJin.

That may sound like something that anyone shouldn't be doing but I am thinking of doing just that, I just want my life to turn out the way that I wanted just this once, I don't have a chance to do my things without anyone criticizing me for it. But I am scared, I am afraid that it might not turn out well and I will get hurt from it.

What the hell should I even do to be happy? A lone tear escapes from my eye and it streamed down to my cheek, which was the trigger for me to burst out crying in the middle of the bridge. I dropped down on the floor and covered my face with my hands as I wailed, I have not been this sad for this long and I don't know what to do about it.

I don't even have anyone to talk about my life, Kim SeokJin ignores my words all the time and is only focusing on talking about himself and my relationship with my parents hasn't been that well, the only thing that I ever spoke to was when they wanted to set me up on an arranged marriage with Kim SeokJin and I agreed, I shouldn't even agree to go for that blind date but I was forced by my parents to do that and I didn't have anyone in my life.

Even my best friend left me behind in order to get his toxic boyfriend who might as well leave her life completely instead of making her so stupid and foolish for loving such a man that doesn't appreciate her, the only thing that she did was to leave me a hotel that I didn't even want to manage but I was left with no choice, the hotel was on the verge of failing and I was there to save it and made it into the hotel it is today.

No one would ever care about me, I am not important to them at all and they wouldn't feel anything if I am gone. It is not like I have a major impact in their lives whatsoever, I am just a side character in my own story and I never have the time to shine.

A hand grabs my wrist and he pulled it away from my face, revealing my ugly crying face. I can't believe that Jeon JungKook didn't just walk away and pretended that he didn't see me, he came up to me when I thought that he wouldn't and he is looking at me with great concern. "Are you alright?"

That is the first time that he actually spoke to me first, he usually leaves the talking to me whenever I meet him and he would always avoid my eyes all the time but now he is looking at me without wanting to look away from me. What is with him?

"What do you think that you are doing?" I wailed, I just want him to get away from me so that I can cry peacefully without anyone disturbing me. "Didn't you have something on? Go back to them and leave me alone."

"Let's go somewhere where it is a little quieter." He said and we ended at his apartment, a place that I have never expected him to bring me to. And even though this is not the first time that I have been to his apartment, the tingling feeling just doesn't go away and the thought of Jeon JungKook bringing me here is a little hard to believe. What is he trying to do?

"Sit down, I'll get you something to drink. Is sparkling water acceptable for you?" He walked over to the refrigerator.

"Water will do fine for me," I told him and I sat down after contemplating for a few seconds on whether should I sit down, he came back to the living room and he placed down the glass of water right in front of me. "Thanks."

I thought that he will just start asking questions like how normal humans do when they try to comfort someone but he is just sitting there and not talking at all, staring at me as if he brought home an animal. "Why aren't you asking me anything?"

He stared at me blankly. "You know, questions like 'Who made you cry like this?' and 'What did the person even do to you?', those questions that regular people do when they want to find out more about something," I told him. "So I was expecting you to do the same as well because it is a normal thing for someone to do."

"I just prefer to allow the person to have their choice of telling the problem to me, it is better this way. If you want me to ask those questions, I can do that but it can get a little awkward." I just realized that he is talking a lot now, a huge contrast from the Jeon JungKook that I have always known. "Lee JiEun, why are you crying?"

I burst out laughing. "You are right, it definitely sounded awkward for you to ask these questions to me. You haven't comforted anyone before right?" I asked him and he shook his head. "I just know it, you seemed so foreign to this whole concept of making someone feel better and talking to them. Why don't I ask you those questions now? Why did you bring me back to your apartment for?"

"I saw you crying and I know that it is because of Kim SeokJin, he made you so unhappy with your relationship with him." I could only blink at his answer, how did he even know that I was not happy with my engagement?
