Shruti's POV

5 years, it's been 5 years since we got married. It was like a fantasy in the beginning but, as if waking up from a dream we were brought back to reality. Jungkook, he no more has time for me. Busy he says he is. 

I'm 29 now and he is 30. He has been really busy with film making in G.C.F company. Going on business trips is his regular job. And I sit here every day waiting for him, with the only hope that he comes back and says 'now it's our time no more work'.

But guess that's just a mere hope and nothing else. My work has been a bit hectic over the years too. Designing wedding dresses and working in the company. We didn't have a child. That's partly a reason we have been so distant. He no longer feels am enough to brighten his life. 

I sighed and looked at the clock, at 1 am. He wasn't home yet. 

"Another day alone I guess" I sighed and went up to my room. my heart clenching on my chest and my eyes teary. Just then a clicking sound came and I wiped my tears immediately and put on a smile.

"Welcome home !" I said. he looked at me with tired eyes and nodded.

"I'll heat the food then?" And as I was about to take up the plate he said 

"No don't need to, I've already eaten"

I stopped my movements and clenched the plate in my hand. "Is that so? alright then" I said in a whisper. He went to the bedroom and a thud indicated he had shut the door. 

I couldn't hold the tears anymore.


I woke up the next morning with the other side of the bed empty, he had left already. Sighing I went to get ready for work. I freshened up, had breakfast, and left with my bag. The cold winter morning was too much to handle. With the slight smoke leaving my mouth and the cold air beating against my cheeks I set off for the day.

I got off the bus in front of the huge building. I took a deep breath and went inside. Juniors and interns greeted me. I bowed back and also wished many seniors and staff.

"Morning Ji Eun Unnie!"

"Morning Shruti!" said the receptionist with a gentle smile. 

"Is Mr.Wang in his office?" 

"Lemme check" She searched the President's schedule and informed me that he was indeed in his office. I thanked her and went to the president's room. 

After 2 or 3 knocks someone from the inside said 'come in'. I pushed the door open and saw the young gentleman standing. Mr.Wang Yibo was our new president. 

He was the younger brother of Wang Jackson who was our current CEO but had decided to retire as CEO of Wang Group to start his own business. Mr.Wang smiled at me which I quickly returned and entered the room, the files clutched in my hand.

"Yes Mrs.Jeon what was it that you wanted to discuss with me?"

"Sir, I have made some new designs with the types you had discussed in the previous meetings and I think these may be used in our coming show"

"Very Well, let me see"

After discussing all the details and the designs the president gave a contented smile and asked me to proceed with the plan. I nodded and went to discuss everything with my team.

Our New Year Fashion Show was just 2 months away and the whole office was extremely busy with the preparations. The hectic day felt never-ending. It was almost evening and I decided to stay back with a few of my team members to complete a bit more of the work.
