Hired Boyfriend

The future is now

> Jimin's POV <

I thought she was over this Jungkook phase. But here she is, hugging that kid. I know all about their past, and I've been doing my best to understand her. She told me she was going to stop, she said she would end this all. But here I am, watching them from a far as she clings to the boy she had always loved. She said she was all over it now, but I have my doubts. It's not just Chloe that I'm uneasy about but it's Jungkook as well. What if he realizes how great of a person Chloe really is? What if he suddenly see's Chloe the way I look at her. And what if, Chloe chooses him instead.

They break their hug and Jungkook leaves after. And there she is, crying. Jungkook had hurt her once, why can't she just let it go? Why can't she just look at me and never stop? I thought everything was going well with us. She had started to stop being all clingy with Jungkook. Sure she was a bit flirty with other guys, but she would tell me that she just likes seeing me get all jealous and frustrated, and honestly apart from me getting extremely annoyed by that I also found it quite cute-- the way she puts so much effort to make our lives a bit more interesting. I always admired everything about her. To the point where I find myself always having mini arguments about why I can never force myself to let her go and walk away. And the fact that she also started saying 'I love you' more often just made it even more difficult.

Yes, I've had ideas of ending our relationship, but I never approved of it not even once. I don't know why, but I have a weakness towards her. But I do get hurt. My heart shatters as well. And I hate myself for caring for her more than I ever cared about myself.

How can you just fall off the ground the moment you feel like you're at the peak of a mountain. But as much as I'm pained seeing her with Jungkook. The more pained I am to be seeing her in tears. And I'm her boyfriend, it's my job to pick up the pieces even if mine are falling apart. Because that's what love does to you. You get so blinded by it that at times you don't realize that you're slowly dying so that she could live.

I walk towards her, putting every effort into holding back the tears that are dying to fall. But the closer I get to her, the more I realize the pain she's goin through. Because it looks way too similar with mine. No, it is the same thing-- her heart is breaking the same way mine is. To love someone who can never love you back. To put so much effort into being perfect for them, but in the end it will never be enough.

"Chloe" she looks up and wipes away the tears from her cheek.

"O-oppa, how long have you been standing there?" she asks as she continued to wipe her wet cheeks. Although the tears kept falling nonstop.

I hugged her. Because I couldn't stand seeing her cry. And because I couldn't show her the tears that had finally fallen from my eyes. "Do you love him that much?" I ask.

"Oppa what are you talking about?" she said as she tried pushing me away to look at my face. I held her tight, I didn't want to see her while saying these things to her.

"Do you have to keep pushing yourself to love Jungkook?"

"You don't understa-"

"Please, stop liking him. I know it's painful for you. I know how much it hurts! Why can't you see that I'm willing to give you more than what he can offer! Please... I can't see you gettin hurt like this"

"Park Jimin!" She answers and pushed me away. I look at her feeling confused, but she just smiles and places her hands on my cheeks. She wipes away my tears and...

smooch

I feel her soft lips on mine.

5 seconds were all it took for me to reach heaven and back.

5 seconds and her lips left. But her smiled grew wider.

5 seconds of pure bliss.

5 seconds was the only thing I needed, and I knew I could live in those 5 seconds forever.

"Jiminie paboya!" she laughs. "Jiminie saranghaeyo!"

> Third Person POV

Jimin and Chloe sat down together as they shared a huge cup of chocolate ice cream.

Chloe had just finished explaining to Jimin what had happened earlier to her and Jungkook. Jimin remained silent all throughout the time Chloe was explaining. She was worried that Jimin was mad at her or something, but she continued to tell him everything. Because today she finally decided to tell everything to Jimin.

After hearing what Jungkook had told her a while ago-- about how Jungkook had always liked her back-- she realized that there are times when you just go past the deadline and theres absolutely nothing more you can do pass. And as soon as she realized that she vowed to tell Jimin that she loves him, and that she wouldn't want anyone else but him.

She told Jimin about how she was so blinded with hurt and revenge that she failed to see the fact that her life would have been easier to just let things go. She wished so badly that she had not wasted so much time trying to make Jungkook feel the hurt she had been through. But she knew that there was nothing she could do to go back to the past and change it. So she promised Jimin that from now on, she will only waste her time for the man that she loves. Because that time, is something worth wasting for.

"Yah! Jimin why are you crying?!?!" Chloe says her face looking worried.

"I-I-I'M JUST SO HAPPY" Jimin says in between his sobs. Chloe laughed at her boyfriend's adorable face and gives him a peck on the cheek.

"Stop crying okay?" Chloe says as she taps Jimin's head. "We still have a problem to help solve.

"Huh? What problem?" Jimin replies as he tried his best to hold back his tears. He looked absolutely adorable like a little boy trying to hold his breath for more than ten seconds.

"We still have to help our friends with their dilemma..." Chloe replies, fails to sound serious because Jimin was just too cute.

"Uhhmmm... I heard Suga and Yewon were going on a date tomorrow" Jimin says.

"Yeah, I know... Yewon texted me a while ago! And guess what, you better bring out your ninja skills tomorrow cause here's the plan..." Chloe says.
