Lilac Carter

We reached home and now I'm hella hungry. It's been 6 hours since I ate something.

"Wanna eat something?" I asked Jungkook while he was taking a nice look at the living room interior. He hummed and I dove into my refrigerator to see what's left.

"Drinks?" I asked as I closed the big fridge and went to the smaller one, which is specifically for drinks.

"Is red wine available?" I heard the faintness in his voice growing with every word he spoke. He was walking to the painting and artefacts collection I have in the passage attaching the living room and guest room.

"Yes it is!" I exclaimed. Who doesn't love red wine? It is just soo... Classic! Yes!! Classic.

I walked to him with two glasses of red wine served at perfect temperature. I slowly approached him, who was looking at the photo frames standing upon the antique drawer. Those are my childhood pics, some of my college graduation and majority with Tae.

"Explains why you know hyung so well." he said, taking a sip of wine as he licked his lips, not letting an extra drop of wine to rest upon his perfectly shaped lips.

His lip piercing was twinkling because the lights were so dim. That was just like extra icing on the cake with extra choco-chips and cherries. Not exactly knowing where to look, I lowered my gaze, looking everywhere but him.

"Come lets sit." I said, leading him back to the main living area. We just sat on the couch. Not really filling the silence with our talks.

"So," he started while I listened to him without any objection. I'm all okay until you ask me to start a topic.

"Your relationship status?" He asked, after taking a sip of his wine, while I took mine. I chuckled after his question. "Single... Not so ready to mingle." I said. And I don't know what was so funny, but it made him smile, more of a laugh. I must say this again, he looks like a freaking fucking cute bunny.

"The question reciprocates to you too" I said for which he answered, completing his wine. "Single, ready to mingle" he said with a wink! He fucking winked!?

He got up from the couch taking mine and his glasses to refill them.

"Continue... Please don't stop speaking." he said. That surely means something else Lily! Oh shut up Lilac!

"What do you want me to say?" A clear question.

"Anything.. your hobbies?" He asked, handing me back my wine glass. "Um.. nothing much, I just love to annoy Tae, collecting cars and antiques are like a side hobby, but annoying Tae is just my life motto." I said and all I could hear was him laughing. The whole mansion was echoing with his laugh and it just... It just felt warm maybe.

"So you are like siblings from different parents?"

"Yeah.."

"How did you meet him?" Now... That's the actual question. I thought of the day back how I met him. It was just a mere accident that turned out to change my life.

"It all started after I moved to France to do cosmetology. I was 18 when I first met him. I had my first project work to be done in Italy and I just happened to bump into one of the investor's son of my university. And that's it." I chuckled on the weird memory I had.

"And then, when Taehyung moved to London to do his MBA, to get his father's company, even I wanted to go with him. But I couldn't becuz I was in fourth year of cosmetology. After waiting for two more years, I could finally move to London for doing MBA too."

"So you did MBA to be with hyung?"

"Nahh... I never wanted to work under someone, so MBA was my thing from the start. And being with Tae was just a bonus for it." I answered for which he nodded. His eyes were shouting for rest, which he ignored.

"You need rest." I informed him for which he shook his head, slightly yawning.

"Heard that you started your company on your own, despite of having an opportunity to run your family owned business." Is he stating or asking?"

"Yeah.. but I want my own name and fame. Not something given by birth."

"Damn... A bossbitch" yes.. I am.

"So how do you know Tae?" A basic question.

"We are family friends. My dad and Uncle Kim are great friends and we used to live in Italy. Everything was fine until my grandfather passed away, and my dad had to take care of the main company. We shifted back to Korea and we lost touch with hyung's family." Ahh- explains how Tae even knows JaeYoung. 

"Jungkook, I really think you should sleep." I said when I noticed his eyes slowly going red due to the tiredness and requirement of sleep. "You can use the guest room." I said as I led him to the guest room through the familiar passageway.

A new day, a fresh start but a bit more panicking when you remember that there's someone in your home other than you.

I walked to my kitchen, with my half closed sleepy eyes just to see a shirtless Jungkook. Wait wh- A SHIRTLESS JEON FUCKING JUNGKOOK.

"Hey morni-" his greeting was cut by my unintentional scream. Well who would not scream when they see a handsome shirtless- Lilac Imma choke you.

"Calm down, gurl." he said mockingly, repeating my own words to me. "Never saw a shirtless handsome boy?" He asked while my eyes without my permission went down from his face to his chest then to his abs. Damn those abs...I ain't gonna say anything cuz I myself am thinking the same.

My eyes unintentionally were checking him out. Damn he used my gym huh... Well I'm not complaining tho-

I swear, my eyes and my legs aren't cooperating with my brain. Hey eyes, I guess you have to stop checking out a guest. And you legs, run!!!!

"Done checking out?" He asked while going around the kitchen island to the refrigerator, taking out a cold water bottle and chugging it in. Now my eyes are on his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with each water sip he was taking.

And now coming to the answer of his question, I nod my head shamelessly.

"Good." He said waking to the living room, as if being half naked is common. For him.

"Now, excuse me." He said, taking the cover lying on the couch which was supposed to be his work attire with a smile. Obviously a sarcastic smile.

"Rare sight to see." I heard a deep voice as soon as I walked out of the parking lot of 'JJK' with its Ceo with me.

"Shut up Tae." were the only words that came out of my mouth. "JaeYoung is nowhere to be seen?" I asked teasingly. Of course, why not? He's my bestie after all.

"She walked to her office. I was here just to drop her." He said with his 'done' look. Ahh I love this Tae.

"But why are you both together?" he asked, emphasizing the 'you'. Gosh I hate him too.

"I was dropping Jungkook, his car is at my office." I said, stating the reason but there my brother was. He wasn't accepting and gave me 'ahh-really-bish? Tell-me-what-happened' look.

"I wanna meet JaeYoung." I said simply walking off from there, avoiding the awkwardness my bestie was creating. Especially after what happened this morning.

"Hey," I said, getting inside Jungkook's cabin. Wow- nice interior! According to the secretary, JaeYoung was here.

"Hey, eonnie." she said hiding something. Concealer. Kim Taehyung, caught you in 4k *camera shutter*

"Ahaa... I see what you are doing." I said teasingly for which she just gave a shy smile.

"Hey Lily, you are here. By the way, thanks for the ride!" I heard the same raspy voice which made me smile. "You're welcome." I said and turned back to JaeYoung to continue teasing her. But before I could say something-

"You both came together?" she asked for which I nod. "Then for what did I thank her for stupid? Use your mustard seed sized brain for once at least!" I heard Jungkook from behind. I laughed at him for roasting his sister. Funny + cute thing to witness.

"Shut up dumb! Well I wonder how Japan and the USA were together for this long. I heard Oppa stayed a night at your home." JaeYoung said, making me laugh. Her humour is just perfect.

"Yah! We weren't that bad with each other." He defended.

"Really!? You couldn't come over the fact that eonnie rejected your proposal in six different languages for weeks." She laughed her ass off. I love Jae. Fuck Tae, I will marry her. Hey Lilac that's bad, you just can't do that to your bestie.

"Jeon JaeYoung, I give you one chance of running out of my office before I count three. Run if you love your life. One....two...~" Before he could count three, JaeYoung got out of his cabin running slightly limping. I laughed at their relationship as I faced Jungkook again.

"Okay then, I will take my leave." I said walking away but I stopped in my tracks when he said something.

"Take care, Mia Cara." Mi- what?

"What did you say? I asked him when I turn back my heels

"Nothing. Take care Lily" he said waving off for which I left. What did he say..? Mio- Mia car? Mia Cara?

I sat in my car as I took my phone out. Opening Google translate I translated 'Mia Cara' into English.

The result made a blush creep to my cheeks turning them red. I clicked on the listen again button which made it say 'My Darling'. He said 'Take Care, My Darling.'
