Love or Destiny

The Chance Almost Lost

It was Jennie.

She leaned slightly out of the car window, a small smile playing on her lips.

"You want a lift?" she asked casually.

Taehyung looked at the car, still a little surprised. "This car was just launched today...and you already got it?"

"Well," she shrugged lightly, "only for a test drive."

He frowned. "I asked them too but they refused."

She smirked. "I have my ways."

Then she raised an eyebrow. "So...lift?"

"No, no, it's fine." he said quickly.

"Come on, V," she said, amused. "I won't kidnap you. Now get in."

He hesitated for a second before giving in.

"...Okay."

Inside the car, everything felt... different.

The smooth interior, the faint scent of leather, the quiet hum of the engine. It was perfect.

Jennie started the car and soon they were on the road.

"So, V?" she said, glancing at him briefly, "what do you do? I mean, your occupation?"

"I'm an engineer," Taehyung replied. "But mainly, I want to be a car designer. I'm just waiting for an opportunity."

"Hmm," she nodded softly. "That's nice."

"And you?" he asked.

"I just finished my studies."

"I see..."

After a few minutes of silence, Taehyung spoke again. "You can drop me here."

"Okay." She slowed the car and stopped.

He opened the door and stepped out.

"It was nice meeting you," he said.

"Nice to meet you too," she replied.

"Bye."

She looked at him for a moment before asking softly, "So...where will we meet again?"

He paused, looking at her then smirked faintly.

"Wherever your destiny wants."

And with that, he turned around, waving, "Bye."

"Bye," she replied, though her expression seemed a little faded.

The car drove away.

A few seconds later, Taehyung's eyes widened.

"Shit!"

His hand instinctively went to his shoulder. His bag.

"My laptop..."

Panic rushed through him.

At that moment, Jungkook appeared.

"What happened?"

"I left my laptop...and all my documents...in Jennie's car."

"Jennie?" he blinked. "That destiny girl?"

"Yeah."

"Then call her."

"I don't have her number."

"What?"

"She would have gave it to me...but I refused."

Jungkook stared at him in disbelief.
