❝ A flower that resembles you
Blossomed in this garden of loneliness.❞

“You think you can just play with both of my sons' heart?”Taehyung’s mother's voice, cold and somber reached my ears making goosebumps to rise all over my arms, my eyes met hers as she straightened her posture stepping out of the dark.

A chill run down my spine fear took over, I looked at her bewilderment; she look so intimidating making me wish as if  the ground would just split open and I'll be swallowed in.

“I don't understand what are you trying to say ?"I ask not finding the courage to meet her eyes, as the were blazing at me with pure anger.

“Stop acting innocent, I know what sort of woman you are,”she spats while getting a grip of my hand and pulling me harshly, towards her, a tear run down my eye as with trembling I stared at the ground, somehow it made sense to me everything was just wrong.

“You see Mia loves him she needs him and I think there is no one else as good to be my son's wife but her,”she says while twisting my hand a little a gulped hardly, my body stiff as I breathed with uneasiness.

God I just wanted to be out of here.

“I want them to be happy—I am trying to let him go. I'm not— everything is just wrong”I managed to speak  with tears streaming down my eyes, as my body shook, she let goes of my hand and moved back, pressing her hand against her forehead she groaned, eyes glaring at me.

“I am begging you let go of Taehyung stay away from Jimin. They are too precious stop playing with their feelings,”she says stepping forward her eyes dazzling with fury and desperation as she takes my hands,“You don't deserve them,” her last words hang in the air as I stumbled back, feeling out of breath my vision turned blur as I clutched my chest, my lungs twisted as blinked. I can't take it no more .

“I think you are misunderstanding ”,I choke as my words, my voice sounded of a weakling as she snorted.

“I would not stand by and watch you ruin my sons’ life,”she says, her voice sounding more like a warning, before walking past me, as I blinked unsure.

I can't stay here.

With my eyes blurry and my make up all ruined, I picked my clutch from the floor which fell when she was pulling me.

Walking to where others were ,my eyes caught the sight of Taehyung and Mia dancing together looking as lovely as ever, and I know what I did was right I don't belong here this is no place for someone like me.

With tearful eyes I walk a rather too fast, my heart raced as I bumped into hard chest, my breath hitched as strong hel me steady, looking up I see his smile fading away and turning into worried one as inched closer.

“Sofia.”

Jimin murmured, his thumb pressed underneath my eye, as he lifts up my face when I tried looking away.

“Are you alright—Why are your eyes like this. Don't tell you were cry—” I didn't wait for him to finish as snapping my body away from his I staggered backwards, and ran as fast as I could to get away from here.

Not turning back or stopping ,I managed to pass the people and to get outside.

Cold night air kisses my wet cheeks ,as I inhale sharply; bending down and pulling out the heels from my feet ,I walked barefoot, not bothering to even glance my eyes wandering along the dark and lone street as I walked ahead.

Looking up at the starless sky, I sighed the starts hid away in darkness of the fading moon, retelling an unknown tale of misery, my heart calmed as I slowed down.

My body stiffened as I felt a hand over my shoulder, as I turn to find a breathless Jimin—he looked like he ran a marathon race did he come running after me.

“Why are you here, Jimin?” I asked  pulling my hand away from his hold, his brown eyes gazing into mine, minutes passed before I felt his touch, his warmth and smelled his cologne when without saying a word he pulled me into his seemingly warm embrace, his arms holding me protectively, as I feel my muscles tense from the sudden nearness.

          “I am here because I saw how you left the party tell me, Sofia what happened has someone said something to you?”His deep voice spoke, and I had almost forgotten that he saw me there in that dreadful state.

This is wrong he should have stayed there, and even though I wanted him to go I could not bear the thought of being alone. Staring down at my cold hands, feeling my breath hitch; I wondered whether to hug him back or not?

      “I wish you would have stayed,” I whispered softly hearing the man inhale sharply as he drew back abruptly, a look of utter pain in his eyes before he leaned in.

I feel his hands going down to my hands as he holds them in his, warmth spreading through me as closing my eyes I pressed my forehead against his, nose brushing in together, his warm breath fanning against my face.

“Lets go somewhere else; some where there is just us”,he says with a serious expression, one you could not forget. My heart races as I felt heat reaching to my face.

And with no utter of words, he understands my silence and guides me to where his car was parked.

He opens the door for me and walks over to his side, I pull up my gown so that I don't wear it still barefoot, I step into the warm car.

Strapping my seat my eyes catches his as I caught him staring right at me through his dark lashes, but I knew he wanted to know how I was, my heart ached as he smiled nevertheless, with his eyes curved into small smiles he roared the engine to life.

“I am sure you would like it there”,he says, his voice sombre soothing my ears as I sighed leaning against the seat.

I turn my face towards the window leaning my head against it, as  to my horror I feel warm tears streaming down my eyes,I know Jimin would notice it but I didn't care much; cause all I wanted now was to erase those bitter words of his mother; from my head but somehow they kept flashing in like flashbacks and all I could do was to just cry.

Her words didn't just sting they stabbed.

Soon I feel the car coming to a halt ,I opened my eyes inhaling sharply my gaze followed Jimin as I see him opening his door and stepping out then rushing to open the door to my side.

He opens the door for me and I mouthed a simple ‘thank you’ 

The chilly, night air crawls through my skin making me to shiver slightly, rubbing my hands against my arms I stare upwards at the starless sky.

Standing beside me, Jimin notices this and takes off his coat putting it over my shoulders, his hands stay there for a moment before he draws back, putting his hands into his pants pocket he walks further. 

“You know I don't really need this,” I spoke still standing to where I was as hearing my words he turns, his brown eyes snapped towards me studying my face, before shaking his head he strides back to where I was standing.

“Why can you not let me take care of you?"he asks softly making me tense; as I see a ghost of a smile at the corner of his lips.

At lose for words I averted my gaze, dropping my heels on the ground, I put them on all along sensing his gaze upon me, he was watching me.

We walk together side by side; with no nothing left to be said and finally for the first time in a while finding myself, feeling better I felt almost myself Jimin walks a rather slower with his hands in his pockets, he kept taking glances at my face probably to check if I was still crying. But a few times when I would catch him staring at me like that he would look away, feeling agitated.

Pulling the coat closer to my body, I closed my eyes and breathed out softly, standing underneath a huge land full of cherry blossom, I  felt my heart beat racing when a felt his fingers pressing against my hand, slowly, steadily he holds

“You asked me why can I not let you take care of me—It’s because I've got to a point where letting someone take care of me is more dangerous than not being able to be with them, at least this way I would still be with that person; for even if he doesn't care anymore,” I mutter and an unknown smile appears at the corner of my lips without me knowing.

      “You know I won't force you to tell me what exactly happened, but I would tell you one thing,” he says staring down at me, caught off guard I staggered back when he leans closer, his lips dangerously close to mine.

His macular arm goes around my waist, his eyes never living mine, I could feel my heart bearing a beat of it's own as his feasted upon the queer look of surprise upon my face, my knuckles paled as gripped the collar of his shirt, our mingling together as rigged pants the raw emotions, the scent of arousal, a curious desire, blurred my senses when his lips finally came crushing down to mine.

His hands pushed my hair away from my face and soon my chin was taken in between his fingers, as he tilted my head up to look up at him, his mouth devouring mine in outmost assault.

I feel his hands going behind my head as he closes his eyes leaning in ,I knew what was gonna happen soon and it did.

I feel his tongue brushing against mine ,as he gently pulls my bottom lip in between his teeth, ,I could smell his minty breath mixed with whiskey the anticipation was high, his breath mingled with mine coming out shaky and shallow. His lips moved tenderly across my own gentle at first before his lust overruled him; his resistance.

With his hand in my hair, he brought me closer, pressing on to my body tightly against his own. He kissed me as if he couldn't stop himself.

Untammed  and famished; he paused just to stare at me.

         “I know it's not the right time but I always wanted to tell you that you mean something to me, Sofia I care because you're special for me you're beautiful—I just dammit I think I might have fallen for you,” he says making me look at him with shock, my heart faltered immobile I stood.

I couldn't register what he said.

“I can wait I am not waiting for an answer like right now but I just wanted to let you know that I am always there where you need me,”this brought a smile to my lips as staring up at the man I was in utter awe.

“Jimin I don't know what to say,” I breathed nervously and mustered all of my remaining courage to say,“I am not entirely here— I can never make you happy my heart it's already too damaged.”

“I think it's getting late—I should drop you off to home,”he says turning away I know he was now trying to avoid my answer, but it was his right to know that I cannot love anyone In but Taehyung.

I follow after him and again he opens the door for me stepping into the car I put on my seat belt,bas he does the same ,without wasting a second he starts the engine and drives through the deserted road.

The route to the house wasn't that faraway, my mind was a whirlwind of endless possibilities, my heart was a wreck nothing seemed to make sense as when we reached home only did then I noticed that the lights were on means he was here at home, and even though a little part of me glad that he was here but I was scared because even if it meant nothing I know seeing me Jimin would hurt him even further, and I was tired of hurting him of playing hooky.

I push the door open stepping out ,I hear sound of car locking and soon I heard Jimin’s footsteps following behind me.

“You are coming?” I asked anxiously, biting my lower lips, as he nods curtly.

“Yeah I left the party so abruptly so it's wise for me to apologise,” he answered through an ear-splitting grin.

Ringing the bell the door soon flung open ,only to be greeted by tired looking Taehyung.

He narrows his eyes towards Jimin standing behind me before raising his brows at me.

I shrug my  shoulders nonchalantly before parting my lips to speak ,“I asked him to take me somewhere for a walk,”I reasoned before he moves to the side giving us space to enter the house.

As I walk further my eyes caught the sight of Mia sitting in the living room near the fire place over red couch, looking lost in her thoughts.

“Mia,”I manage to utter, as she shoots her head over our direction and I find her smiling gracefully.

“Where  were you two?”she says walking over to us .

I was about to answer but Jimin  does that for me, “We went to get some fresh air,” he says trying to be calm.

Her lips make a shape of an ‘O’ as she registers of what he meant.

“You guys missed it ,mom fixed our wedding within a month,” she says smiling ear to ear and the world around me stopped,  please tell me it not true.

My head turn towards Taehyung as I see a sorrowful expression on his face.

Why does it hurts so much ,when I knew one day this was going happen but not so early I am still not over him.
