Lovelies, get your tissues ready. This chapter is going to a long and emotional. 

******

It had been two days and Jia didn't call Bora. The event planner was now growing impatient. She had promised Yoo-Jin to finalize the dress for Jia within three days. Now she just had one day left. Bora had already received the wedding dresses for the soon-to-be bride to try.

Bora was currently pacing back and forth in her office while nibbling on her bottom lip. She was worried for two reasons. First was, Jia wasn't receiving her calls and she was supposed to come for dress trials. And the second reason was Yoo-Jin had advised that she take Jia to the hotel next to their agency for the trial.

Well, if it was a normal hotel then she would be more than happy. However, Jimin worked in that hotel, and facing him would be a huge challenge for her.

She was startled out of her reverie by a knock at the door. Yoongi was standing by the door, peering inside, as she turned to face it. His long hair rested perfectly on his side face and his broad smile, displaying his gums and closing his eyes made him look like an adorable cat.

When Bora grinned a little, he finally entered. "What are you still doing here? Hasn't Jia arrived?" Bora shook her head with a sigh in response to Yoongi's query.

"Strange! Let me call her." Bora finally heaved a sigh of relief. She wondered why she hadn't thought of this previously. She looked at Yoongi calling Jia, her eyes literally glistening with hope.

Yoongi continued to call, twice, and it appeared that someone finally answered. She was overcome with anxiety once more, though, as she discovered Jia had been ill ever since they had left the vineyard. 

She got sick after talking for hours while sitting in the garden, but she didn't even think about going inside. She almost forgot to consider the fact that she had just returned to Korea and the weather might not be comfortable for her.

Jia suggested Bora to video call her when she tried dresses. Because they had to give the dresses back to the designer, that was the only option, and Bora had to agree to it. The world doesn't just revolve around Min family after all.

Yoongi was kind enough to follow her to the hotel. He believed that being there would be advantageous, particularly if she needed to video call Jia. Who was Bora to object? She needed someone to face the whole situation... To face Jimin.

When Bora reached the hotel, she noticed that Yoo-Jin had already reserved a suit for them. The mother had thought that Yoongi, Jimin, and Bora would be accompanying her daughter, and it would be a huge headache for them to leave the room every time Jia tried dresses on, so she didn't want her daughter to run into any difficulties when trying dresses for her special day.

Now what was weird was the fact that Jimin had been waiting for Jia and it seemed odd to Yoongi and Bora. The former couple was dating and they had returned home together from the vineyard.

How was it possible that Jimin wasn't aware of Jia being sick? The whole scenario was too weird for the wedding planners, but they decided to shrug it off since they had an important business to look after.

When Bora reached the suit with the two young men, she entered the room hesitantly. Her heartbeat accelerated when she noticed the whole rack filled with beautiful wedding dresses in one of the rooms.

She took slow steps towards the rack and tried lifting up her hand to check the dresses. But her hands began to tremble as her breathing raged. She had obviously seen wedding dresses before since it was her job. However, the thought of putting on a wedding dress after the heart-wrenching incident made her eyes water.

Bora made the decision not to wear a wedding dress or put her trust in any other man. She had once even considered never falling in love. When her mother tried to arrange blind dates for her, she always acted in a way that made the men turn her down.

A mother is always worried for her children, and so was Bora's mother. She was aware that the love of a partner was different from that of a family. All Bora needed was a life partner. But she had always rejected the idea.

Bora noticed her eyes were already crying rivers as she held a random dress. "Bora? Do you need any help?" Yoongi yelled from outside the room in a concerned voice when he realized the girl was taking longer than she should.

Bora instantly wiped her tears and calmed her breathing before responding, "No! I'll be there in a bit."

She composed herself and got into reality. She reminded herself that all she was doing was her job and nothing else. She couldn't behave like an emotional fool always, especially when she was planning her ex-fiancé's wedding.

She got herself into a beautiful ballgown. The silhouette fitted her through the bodice and then abruptly flared out at the waist in a round bell-like shape. The gown had a sweetheart neckline that created a heart shape on the bodice. The straps were absent and they highlighted her collarbones perfectly with a little display of her cleavage.

She walked with struggle since the dress was really long and she stood in front of the full-length mirror to check the dress. She turned to her right to check her back and sighed when she couldn't close the zipper fully. Guess she had to take the help of someone.

When she walked out, the two men stopped their conversation and glued their eyes on the girl. Bora took smaller steps while looking down and walking carefully since she was afraid to fall.

When she raised her head, she saw Jimin's eyes staring back at her with unreadable expressions. She somewhat lost her balance since she was preoccupied with observing her ex-boyfriend's facial expressions, if any. Her palms began sweating and cold sweat formed on her forehead as she continued to glance at Jimin until Yoongi's cold hands touched her shoulders.

She didn't even realize that Yoongi ran really fast to save the girl from falling as he held her by her shoulders. His eyes held concern and that made Bora's stomach to churn.

"Are you alright?" He inquired politely as he continued to stare into her eyes. Bora nodded her head as if she was in a daze. He looked down and saw that her dress was a little lower than it ought to be.

Yoongi coughed a little and hastily turned his head away. But he still didn't step back. He was conscious of Jimin's attention on Bora. He couldn't just let him see something he wasn't supposed to see. Men are men after all.

Bora also looked down and let out a small squeal. She quickly pulled up her dress but stopped her movements when Yoongi closed the distance between them. He closed his eyes before approaching her neck. He placed his head near her neck, letting his warm breath hit her neck, and tried to find her zipper, accidentally touching her bare shoulders.

Her body hair rose at the cold touch of his hands but her heart warmed when she didn't fail to notice Yoongi closing his eyes. That was really thoughtful of him.

Yoongi found the zipper with much struggle and he finally closed it. He then backed away, finally opening his eyes. The two were lost in each other's eyes till a voice grabbed their attention.

"Oppa! We are preparing for my wedding. You both should avoid doing anything funny right now." Jia's voice made Yoongi turn his body 180 degrees. He noticed Jimin holding his hand in the air while holding his phone. His lips failed to show any expression at the girl's comment.

"C'mon now! Let me see the dress. Stop blocking the way." Though Yoongi couldn't see his sister, he was sure the girl must be having a mischievous smile.

Yoongi approached Jimin and grabbed the phone from his clutch before turning the camera towards him to show his annoyed face to Jia. "Stop fooling around, you idiot. Why aren't you here?"

She rolled her eyes. "First show me the dress Bora has worn. Only then I'll respond." Yoongi obliged, turning the camera and showing the girl, who stood awkwardly in the middle of the room.

"Oh my goodness! You look so pretty, Bora. Turn around and show me the dress." Jia requested happily, making Bora turn. Jimin had been noticing Bora and he wouldn't accept it loudly, but he could tell that Bora looked like an angel in the wedding dress.

She had tied her hair into a messy bun but she still managed to look beautiful.

Once Jia saw the dress from all angles, she asked Yoongi to go to the room and show some more dresses, so that she could suggest which dress Bora should try next.

As soon as Yoongi left, Jimin stood up and approached Bora. "Why are you doing this?" He inquired coldly, now standing in front of the girl, pulling her shoulder a little harshly.

"What am I doing? I thought you must be curious about how I was looking on the day you left me. On our wedding day, remember? Well, my dress was a bit simple on that day but I looked prettier than today. How lucky you are, I gave you this privilege to see me in a wedding dress again."

Bora's voice was dripping with sarcasm and it only irked Jimin. It seemed as if Bora was pushing his buttons harder. The grip on her shoulder tightened and Bora was sure it would leave a mark. But the mark wouldn't stay longer than the mark, or rather the scar he gave to her heart by leaving her.

"You must leave this job. And I know you're using Yoongi to make me jealous. Let me tell you, it won't affect me. When did you become a girl like this? Did you become a who—"

A slap on his cheek echoed through the room as Bora stopped him from pointing his finger at her character. Leaving her was something she could live with, but how could she live with the fact that the person she was once in love with would define her as a characterless woman? He was someone who knew her the best.

"You have no right to interfere in my life. How dare you sl*t shame me? You got no right to judge me. Out of all the people, are you being serious to judge me? You left the girl who loved you and believed you. She waited for an answer as to why you left her. And you still dare to come and behave like this with me? I regret falling for a person like you. And even if I marry Yoongi someday, that shouldn't concern you. My life isn't revolving around you, you should know that."

She turned around and was about to walk away but she stopped in her tracks. "Oh, by the way! You should leave this country as you did before. I'm sure you're going to leave Jia as well. Because that's who you are. Don't hurt her as you hurt me. And one more thing, you deserve no one. You deserve to be alone."

Bora tried to control her tears but she failed. She walked faster and went to her room. Yoongi was still there on the call. When he noticed Bora crying, he disconnected the call before rushing toward her.

"Hey! Look here! What happened? Why are you crying?" Before he could ask any further, Bora hugged him tightly, finally letting her tears flow.

"Take me home. Please take me home! I can't be here anymore. I'm feeling dirty. I don't feel good. Please take me home." She begged Yoongi in between her sniffles. Yoongi tried to calm her by stroking her head lovingly till her sniffles died down.

I'm not sure what happened when I was away. Was it Jimin? I wonder what he did to bring out this reaction in you. Do you perhaps know each other? I'll have to learn more about the mystery of your past. I can't see you in tears anymore.

How was this chapter? Could you feel the emotions? I tried my best to bring out the best emotions in all of them. 

Guess what was the toughest thing to write in this chapter. The description of the wedding dress was really tough. Being an Indian girl who has nothing to do with Christian wedding dresses is a huge deal for me. I hope I was able to describe it well.

I feel so sad to show Jimin like this. Can't help it. Anyways this is a fiction book, so I'm sure no one would mind this. 

Let me know what are your speculations about further chapters. I'd love to know your views. I might get some ideas since I haven't written the next chapter. So your views are welcome. 

Hope to see you all soon with the new chapter. Love you all! <3
