Bora had been eyeing Yoongi since the time they sat in the car. Although she felt her gaze was subtle, Yoongi could clearly feel her eyes on him.

No one knew how, but he suddenly got confidence and his smirk grew every time she would eye him. If it wasn't for that incident half an hour back, Yoongi would be a blushing mess. But the situation had flipped now.

Considering the fact that the ride was going to be long, he decided to break the ice. "Do you wanna say something?" He asked softly, casting a quick glance at Bora before turning his focus to the road.

He chuckled when Bora was startled after hearing his question suddenly. Her chocolaty orbs grew widened and her mouth was agape, which she closed instantly like a fish since she was unable to speak.

"I? No... Umm- No! Yes, no –" Yoongi placed his hand on Bora's thighs to stop her from stuttering. He could clearly feel her nervousness as she was shaking her head to clear her point that she didn't want to say anything. However, her furrowed brows and biting on her lower lip said otherwise.

He caressed her thighs gently which surprisingly calmed her. Though she had worn jeans, his hand could still radiate the warmth on her thighs and the air conditioning in the car also didn't help as she soon started to feel hot.

"What are you nervous about?" He inquired quietly, taking off his hand to give a signal before he focused on driving, this time keeping his hand to himself.

Bora sighed. She couldn't believe she hadn't thought of Jimin even once after she decided to accompany Yoongi and not the couple, who were in another car that was following them.

Since Yoongi decided to join them, he suggested taking his car as well. He didn't want to intrude on the couple's privacy. They might want to discuss their wedding preparations he thought. Moreover, this was the perfect excuse to spend some alone time with Bora.

"How do I say I was feeling something different when I was in his embrace? When I don't know what that feeling was, how do I tell him anything? And why isn't he nervous?" She murmured to herself as she battled with the questions that were forming in her mind.

She was fidgeting her fingers while glancing down as she talked to herself.

Although she believed the other could not hear her, Yoongi could hear her worries loud and clear. Yoongi chuckled at her innocent questions and sudden calmness took over him.

Does that mean I can win her heart if I work harder for it? I'm sure her heart isn't reserved. If it was, she wouldn't feel things for me after the morning incident.

Yoongi decided to play some question games to lighten the mood because he was starting to feel optimistic.

After spending so many years working together professionally, fate had given them the opportunity to get to know one another better now. He made the decision to take a chance. "How about we play some games?" He suggested with a hopeful voice.

He glanced at Bora and heaved a sigh of relief when her eyes shone. "I love question games. It will be fun." She clapped her hands as her lips finally widened, displaying her perfect pearly white teeth.

Yoongi was in a daze. He forgot to breathe for a second when her eyes disappeared and her mouth formed a box-like shape. It wasn't prominent but it surely resembled a quadrilateral shape like a box and Yoongi always loved this smile of Bora. It looked so genuine. How he always wished to never let this smile disappear from her lips!

He coughed and shifted a little in his seat before focusing his attention on the road. Although he might have wanted to spend the entire time staring at her beautiful face, he didn't want to put them in danger.

"Let's play." He said after turning down the music volume so it doesn't interrupt them. When it came to Bora, he made a decision to avoid being interrupted by anything or anyone. He was determined to make her fall for him. Maybe not as hard as he had fallen for her, but he wanted to atleast try to win her heart. And he would do anything to win her now.

The mood in this car was fun and chill, but the other car following them had an uncomfortable silence. How ironic that the pair who were supposed to get married were sitting in awkward silence while the couple who hadn't given their relationship a name was having a good time!

Life is ironic, love is ironic, and people are ironic.

Jia's mood suddenly brightened when she received a text from Aera. She awed at the couple in each other's arms. "Baby look!" She showed Jimin the photos of Yoongi and Bora from earlier that morning.

"I knew it! Oppa loves her! Don't they look great together?" She spoke lovingly but pouted when Jimin had unreadable expressions.

Jia sighed as Jimin shifted his focus to the road while maintaining a poker face. She leaned towards her partner while locking her phone and setting it down on her lap. She shifted her body toward Jimin and admired his side profile for a minute. 

His plump pink lips and lighter skin color sparkled more brightly in the natural light, as though his face were covered with glitter. The sunlight falling on his face made his face look like a vampire from the Twilight movie, and she felt lucky to have a handsome man like him in her life. He wasn't just handsome, he was kind as well.

She gently stroked his nape before quickly tucking her fingers in his blond hair above the nape. The gesture caused Jimin's tense body to relax. His shoulders now dropped as though the enormous weight had been lifted.

"My baby! We look the best. You don't need to worry. I just said they look great together. But we look the best hmm!?" She tried to convince him with her loving words.

Jimin let out a laugh, shaking his head at the naïve girl's remarks. She was too dumb to notice jealousy filling up in him. However, she was dating a liar because she was dumb. If there was any other girl, she would have seen right through him. She was, however, too dumb to love him and not even have a shred of doubt about him.

At this point, Jimin started to question if he really wanted this marriage or not. He wasn't even aware of what he was doing or feeling anymore. He nearly had the impression that he was using Jia to suppress his feelings Bora which still existed deep in his heart.

But he pledged to not repeat the same mistake. Jia might be naïve or dumb, but she didn't deserve anything that he made Bora go through.

"Jia, please sleep for some time. It is gonna take us three hours to reach there." He didn't glance at the girl anymore. He would feel guilty to do so because he knew she would be hurt. 

The girl was trying to calm him, but here he was being distant from her. He would have been eaten alive by guilt if he had turned to look at her. He, therefore, made the decision to pay attention to driving before turning up the music.

Jia, on the other hand, pulled out her AirPods and turned on some soothing music that was contrary to her inner turmoil. Jimin was behaving very differently these days and she could clearly see that.

She didn't want to, but her heart felt scared to be left alone by the man she loved. She wanted to ask him what was bothering him. She wanted to ask him about his past. She was afraid if the reason which made him depressed once was still present in his life or not.

She might be in love with him, and she might want to take another step in their relationship, but she didn't know Jimin at all. Were they going too fast?

She looked out of the window while resting her head on her seat and unknowingly, a lone tear slipped out of her right eye.

I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by trusting him too much. He's getting away from me after returning to Korea. What if I lose him? I'll have to do something. I'll have to talk with someone, or else, this pain in my heart will kill me someday.
