Jeongguk never thought this Tokyo trip without his Chiku would end up like this.

He, barged inside of a public bathroom along with his bags, to freshen himself up, As he can't get late for his meeting which is starting soon, in a few minutes.

He can't go anywhere, his damn wallet has been taken by Lili, without his knowledge. For which he is unable to book another hotel room. He has nothing left now instead of his dresses and his phone.

And Jeongguk fears it. Fears it to his death.

He placed his bag on the counter top. Random sobs are keep coming out of his wobbling mouth. Jeongguk has always scared of this moment. The moment of vulnerability. He is indeed feeling useless now. Taehyung has always been with him at such moment, giving him company, the reassuring smile, enough to make him stay motivated. But today is different. Different because Taehyung is not with him. Different because, Jeongguk got used to the other staying with him all the time so the very moment is haunting him more. alone.

With shaky hands He brings out his phone from his pant pocket and starts to scroll down his gallery, taking deep glances at his chiku's photes. He is crying. Crying like a baby right now. Crying because he is feeling useless. He is feeling weak.

He never in his life ever meet such a sadistic personality like Lili. He wants to do more with the girl, more then she did to him. Again there goes his reputation. His civilized posture towards her father and mostly the trust.

"I-f you were here with me ch-iku, then something like -this would have never happ-ened. NEVER (Pout)"
Jeongguk mumbled sitting on a toilet sit while rubbing his chiku's pic with his thumb. Silent tear drops is touching the screen as well making it blurry and Moisture.

In other side:

Taehyung Suddenly chocked on his food, coughing vigorously. He and the Kim couple had been sitting there having their meal while laughing. But suddenly a pain in his heart occurred, out of nowhere. It feels like killing him internally.

"Yaaaaahhh, don't rush while eating, your food is not going anywhere." Seokjin scolded the coughing boy, placing a water glass in front of him.

Taehyung just forced a smile and gulped down the glass of water. He don't know why something is really bothering him to even breath now.

He just thought to shrugged it off anyway, with a mental note that he will make a call to his Hyungie after their meal.

With Jeongguk:

After freshens up, He is now walking towards the venue where the advertising meeting will be held. His whole bag is still with him getting people's questing eyes all the way.

Jeongguk placed his bag in the reception area asking for its protection to the receptionist, he walks towards the main hall only to meet with Lili first. Who has no emotions on her face. Gritting his teeth he just proceed to her side sitting next without even bothering to say back to her 'good evening' monotone, and made himself enough presentable for the meeting.

Time skip":

After the whole long 4 hours of meeting, They all are now walking back to their respective hotels with a promise to make an exhibition tomorrow. But Jeongguk? He has no other option then to confront the woman.

"Give me my wallet back." Jeongguk said to the girl not even caring for a Any formalities.

"For that you have to come to our room, ggu-"

"SHUT UP.

Jeongguk shouted, only to gain people's attention. He immediately snap his head towards those people who stopped on their tracks listening to his shout. But glancing at his red shot eyes they preferd to side Off.

"(Whisper) Give.me. my .damn .money Lili. I am not your side chick to whom you can make them dance around your finger. Before I too pull out any stunt, give. Me. My. Wallet."

"Jeongguk you have only one option left to get that."
Lili said with a poker face. All these time she has no expression on her face. Not any dirty smirk. Nothing.

"Come with me to the damn room. And you will get everything you want."
With that she about to walk away not even giving him enough time to speak more.

Jeongguk doesn't want to go near to that woman anymore, instead he chose to spend the night near the sea sitting on its shore and enjoy the moment. The moon is glowing a lot today making the sea water look like heaven' admonish filled with pearls. The more he is drowning into its beauty the much he is missing the boy, his Chiku.

They talked for an hour but unfortunately his mobile battery gave up at last. The younger boy seems to be very happy spending his time with his noona and hyung. And that was enough for him to feel joyous and happy. And about him? He just Said that he is taking proper care of him, eating a lot, living in a very lavish hotel,
But in reality? Although reality is not lavish but soothing for sure.

"I am sorry." Jeongguk's inner thought got interrupted by a voice. And he doesn't need to turn his head back to see and recognise the voice.

Lili is standing there holding two beer cans.

"What you want more?" Jeongguk said without any expression not even glancing her.

"I am so sorry for being a spoiled person jeongguk. I am so sorry. I tried to think a lot about what you said earlier. Then again I embarrassed myself reminiscing all my past deeds. I just- sigh* I am sorry."

Being said that, Lili made herself comfortable beside him, handing him a beer cane.

"I don't drink." Jeongguk growled humanly.

"O-h sorry? I actually, I didn't mean to disappoint yo-

"Just cut the crap with these bulshit formalities Lili and come to the main point. Anyway I am not gonna eat or drink anything from your hand, you should know that, A crack head like you can plan anything. And you won't hesitate to even kill me as I am standing at your future carrier. Scoff*." Jeongguk concluded not even sparing any glance at her.

While sighing she just Opens her beer cane and took a sip from it.

"You judged me way too fast."

"Trust me, it was too easy for me to read you thoroughly." Jeongguk said looking at the blue ocean.
Darkness is already engulfing them. Winds are blowing fast. Jeongguk's eyes moves towards the woman for the first time now, who is hugging herself to comfort her shaking body while looking at the sea as well.

Rolling his eyes Jeongguk took of his blazer and gave that to her while mumbling 'wear it'

With a small thankyou she wore it.

..
.
.
.

Then a sudden wave of silence engulfed the duo again. No words has been exchanging. Only the gulping sounds of the girl' throat has been interrupting the very calm sound of the waves.

.
.
.

.

"For the first time i am seeing someone making me wear something out of concern rather then taking my dress off out of lust." She mumbled gulping another amount of liquor.

Jeongguk didn't say anything just looking ahead of himself listening to her.

"Sigh* I know a person like me doesn't deserve forgiveness but If possible forgive me Jeongguk. You were right, I am just a spoiled daughter of a hard working person. I felt the irony for very the first time today. As, Maybe because nobody ever tried to or dared to threw such truth into my face! Everyone just wants my body not my heart-

"Same goes to you too Lili, You never cared to even anyone's feelings nor even your father's."

"Sigh* I know I know...that's why maybe my father hates me a lot and I understand-"

"Your father doesn't hate you Lili. But you need to understand his side too, as why he seems so hesitant towards you in terms of beliefs..
.
.
.
Sigh* for that You need a genuine forgiveness from him, And trust me he will forgive you at the very moment he will see genuine guilt in your eyes."

"And I am willing to do that in the first place after reaching home. I am guilty and I am willing to re arrange our crumbling home with my dad. Thanks to you." Lili stated with a smile.

"Cool." Jeongguk could only uttered that word.

"I - I moved away to my own room. You can come back to the hotel."

"Hmm."

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

"Jeongguk?"

"Hmm?"

"Why did you call me slut today?"

Listening to her blunt question Jeongguk couldn't help but to get chocked on his saliva. Nothing is coming out of his mouth as an explanation. The very truth relies on their first encounter when her eyes were on him in a bit lusty way rather then a professional one moreover Y/n had told him about her past. And now he can't just tell her that right? This woman won't even hesitate to fire the girl from her post immediately after getting to know.

Lili pulls her legs against her chest placing her chin on her knee hugging her legs with her hands, swinging like a small girl.

"Hesitant enough? Chukle* I know I know. Everyone knows me as a slut, and somewhere i deserves to be called as too though. Don't i? Chukle*"

Unstoppable Tears are coming out of her eyes.

"I never felt the very emotions of a family jeongguk. From the very moment I started to feel emotions I've been always seeing my father doing works and works. He comes home late walks away early in the morning. I can still remember, I used to prepare myself for a very good mornig speech to my dad. All day along with a bright smile I waited for him to atleast come to my room and say good morning. If not today then tomorrow but the day never came. The paper where my rhymes layed, is now crumbled gone.
Slowly I realised that money only matters. And nothing. To feel a single warmth I became desparate. People were just lasty. Wanted body. So I gave in. I replaced my father's loving warm arms with those lasty and cum filled ones. I started to push myself into those arms only to feel a single amount of warmth until it's done. And I loved it. I became desperate. I became sexaholic.
.
.
.
And it haunts me now. I feel disgusted by myself. I feel like always drawns in alcohol to only forget those days. I feel ugly by those hungry stares, yet prideful. I feel like giving up on my life yet to live more at the same time. ...I - I am sorry for these-"

"Lili!!!! Whatever we did in our past should always stays in that moment to only reminiscent. Bringing them all to your present only to haunt you doesn't make sense, moreover it won't differentiate your past from the very present. So better try to live more to its fullest, who knows what relies on your future!"

Jeongguk said not even looking at her.

Lili just mumbled a small thankyou then again drifted to her own imaginary world.

"Umm hay Jeongguk? I never asked you about yours. Who's in your family anyway?"

"Smile* My family made of two person, my Appa and chiku."

"Chiku? A pet-

"My fiancee." Jeongguk glared at the woman correcting her word.

But Lili's face immediately droped listening to his word 'fiancee'.

"Wh-at? Oh you are enga-ged? Tha-ts great."

"Yes and we are going to marry soon."
Jeongguk said with a blush, he expected a sequal atleast some words from the girl which he usually gets after revealing the truth but nothing came out from the girls mouth. He looks at the woman only to see her already looking at him with a smile. A genuine one. For the first time jeongguk is seeing any genuine posture of the lady.

"I am sorry." Lili broke the silence.

"Why?" Jeongguk asked.

"I-i didn't know you are taken and-

"Thought to drag me to your bed and have me?"

"Shit You are getting too blunt Jeongguk." She said massaging her forehead out of embarrassment.

"Scoff*What about you? Freaking Thief. Didn't even leave my Wallet." Jeongguk rolled his eyes.
"Where the hell you even got that?"

"Sigh* In the security check at the airport. I hired someone in there."

"Impressive, Miss Byun, and Why did you do that?"

"Because I wanted you by hook or by crook. I kind of imagined that you are going to pretest though so... Shit shit. I am a fool."

"Scoff* You wanted me or my warmth Miss Lili?"
Jeongguk said wiggling his brows then bursted out laughing.

"Yaaaaahhh stop yeah. You can't mock me now... I am already dying out of embarrassment."

"No no trust me it was hillarious. How can you assume that I would ever sleep with you... Ahhahahahaha..."

"Yaaaaahhh.... I am getting more embarrass now. What will your fiance think about me now.... Goshhhhhhhh.... I am so dead. I know."

Listening to her, Jeongguk's laughs all got vanished suddenly. The certain moment more like his chiku's words are coming into his sense. When he told him about the woman's move.

Lili too not getting any response from the boy, her eyes got bigger with her cheeks pink.

"Gasp* N-o no... Don't tell me y-ou... Oh no no... You didn't tell her right? You didnt tell her about my slutty skills right shit shit shit-

"She? it's He. Chiku is a boy. My boy."

"You are gay?"

"Ummmm about that, I am just into my Chiku and don't give a damn about any other person in my surrounding."

Her eyes got bigger listening to him. The person he is mentioning as Chiku, must be the luckiest one. As To get a partner like jeongguk is beyond anyone's imagination.

"Wanna know what he said to me when I told him about your motives towards me?"

" Y-es." Lili said looking down embarrassed.

"This is really far more better to be loved or to get attracted then to be hated or disgusted Hyungie. Looking at you, I can't blame her too. The only thing matters here is that I trust you."

.
.
.
.

Again silence emerged the duo. Where Lili is trying to fight with her emotions and Jeongguk is just smiling ear to ear reminiscing their old moments.

"I want to meet him." She mumbled with watery eyes, enough to heard by jeongguk.

"No way, What if you try to hit on him too!!! Not a chance I don't trust a lady like you."

"Eye roll* Yaaaaahhhh I am still your boss Mr. Jeon incase you need a reminder." Lili said wiping her tears.

"Scoff* Not for too long." Jeongguk said with a smirk.

"Eye roll* Whatever. Anyway please please let me meet him. If not at least make a phone call, I just want to say sorry. I am feeling so so sooooo ashamed. I know he must be hating me now aishhhhh. If you don't let me meet him then okay. I myself will come to your home! Huh."
She mumbled the last line crossing her arms against her chest.

"Lili?"

"Yes?"

"Wanna know why I love him to my fullest?"

"Yes yes yes."

"Because he has something. Which no one in this world can ever have. I repeat no one."

"Hmmmm, Let me guess, His big heart of course."

"Nah. There's more."

"His beauty?"

"Temporary."

"His inner beauty idiot."

"Make sense but there's more."

"His trust?"

"Not enough."

"His blind love for you?"

"Neeehhh.. more more."

"Aaaaaaah I give up... You say."

"My heart."

"Schrunching nose* Cheesy."

"But I stated fact."

"I agree though."

While chatting a lot about The certain boy the half of the night passed in a blink of eye.
