"Do you still want to settle for him? You know very well that you can get any decent guy."

Hyori and you were lying on your bed, staring at the ceiling. You just hummed in response.

She nudged you. "Yeah, I am asking you something."

"Hyori, I like him.. Ani.. I love him. I can't let him go at any case. I know he use to love her but things can change. Also, now she is married and living happily with someone." you planted your elbow on the mattress, raising your upper body as you looked at her. "Hyori, I will try my best to make him forget her. I will try my best to make sure he starts loving me." you were confident enough. Something inside you ignited after what happened in the cabin. A thought of having Jimin for yourself was only thing running in your mind.

"Eun Ae, I am afraid. Don't end up hurting yourself. You are still young, you have years to go, you can still find a better match. About Mr. Park, he is already old enough to think and experiment things. The age gap between you both is-"

You suddenly sat upright interrupting her. "Age is just a number Hyori and don't worry about me. I will handle everything swiftly." you chimed, snapping your fingers.

Hyori faked a smile, deep inside she was afraid. She won't be lying but she sensed something in the air, something terrible indeed. She knew how sensitive you are. After your father's death, you had your mother who was your idol but things changed when you saw Mr. Park. She still remember the day when you ran to her just to tell her about your feelings towards Jimin. She knew how much you love him, how much you adore him. The relationship you wanted was like a thin glass which can break anytime due to a slightest touch.

"Hyungsik, what does a man sees in woman?"

His eyes widened as he raised his head from the file he was going through. "What?"

"I mean to say, what does a man sees in a woman?" you repeated again.

"Are you okay? Why are you here? You should sit in your cabin and-"

"Shh.. just answer me.."

Hyungsik looked at you for a second. He knew you were serious just by the way you had snapped your eyebrows together.

"Aa... smile.."

"And?"

"Eyes"

"And?"

"Personality."

"And?"

"Eun Ae, what do you want to hear exactly?" he was irritated.

"Truth." You blurted, ignoring him.

"Okay listen then, A true man never goes for looks. He never goes for money. He never goes for a short term lust. He stays if he wants to stay, he stays if he wants. He will definitely come back to you after crossing all those bridges, all those obstacles if he truly loves you." He placed his hand on your shoulder, "If he loves his woman, then he will go back to her no matter whatever happens." You saw his eyes beamed, his words were genuine. He was right.

"Thank you." You smiled.

"Mr. Park, did you had your lunch?" you asked as he was busy checking the papers. Jimin hummed in response.

You scrunched your nose, he wasn't even looking at you. "Do you want tea?"

"Ani"

Another blunt answer. You pulled a face and looked down, tapping your feet. You wanted him to notice you, admire your presences but he wasn't interested.

"Eun Ae"

You raised your head as he called you.

"Did you checked your mail?"

You pouted, his face was still buried in the file. "Yes, I replied too."

"Okay. " Jimin closed the file and finally saw your unamused face, he sighed. "Did you checked your mobile?"

"Aaa? Actually.. yeah.. I-"

"You did not replied to my message."

"You messaged me? What was that-" you paused, your mobile was in your cabin. "I left my mobile in my cabin."

"Great..!" he shrugged. "I had messaged you regarding today's plan. I am taking you to a party."

"Party? What?" your eyes popped out as soon as his words landed on your ears, you had never visited any upper class party.

"Yes, are you free today or should I-"

"I am free." you blurted and he smiled.

"Good."

+

You walked along with him, his free hand was inviting you and for a moment a thought of lacing your fingers with his aroused in your mind. Should I? Will that be too much? were the questions bombarding your mind.

"Mr. Park, should we-"

You were unintentionally interrupted by Jimin when he waved at someone. You averted your eyes and saw a handsome man who you noticed was walking towards you rather, towards Jimin.

"Jimin-ah.." he hugged him. "I though you won't be coming." he said as he parted.

The man was handsome, he had a strong sturdy physique. His gaze was breathtaking. Your eyes were hooked to his face till the time he looked at you. You looked away, hesitating.

"She is-"

Jimin interrupted, "She is Eun Ae."

The man nodded, smiling. "Hello Eun Ae, this is Lee Taemin here." he extended his hand towards you. You weren't sure how to react. You looked at Jimin for any signs but got none. Gulping, you extended your hand for a handshake. "Welcome to Lee's mansion. I hope you will enjoy." Taemin replied as he released your hand. His aura was strong, the smell of expensive cologne lingering in the atmosphere.

"Yeah..sure." you replied.

Taemin left and you were all alone with Jimin. You were clueless about the etiquettes when it comes to party because you never visited any.

"Eun Ae, want a drink?" he asked you.

"I don't drink."

"Soft drink?"

You nodded. Jimin told you wait as he walked towards the counter. You gazed at him from far, it was super awkward. Coming from a middle class family, you always wanted to live a life which involves luxury. You always knew it was difficult to fit in. When you accepted Jimin's proposal, you never thought a day will come when you will face problems, practically you were crawling in your own skin. Last time the date and today this party.

You tapped your feet as you waited for Jimin to return. You averted your eyes towards the counter to see why he is taking so long and that's when you spotted him talking with someone.

"Aish... Please don't start your business talks." you prayed because you know how much Jimin loves to talk about business. He is very particular when it comes to business.

"He is always the same."

You were startled due to the sudden deep tone. You turned your head and saw Taemin. He had a glass in his hand which he offered you.

"Orange juice."

You smiled before taking the glass from him. Taemin smirked. "Being Park Jimin's girlfriend is not easy."

Your stomach performed a backflip as soon as those words landed on your ears. Even he knows.

"Aa..I.."

"Don't be awkward. Its normal to be shy." he comforted you. "I have a question."

You quickly looked at him. "What?"

"Who proposed? You or-"

"It was him who asked." you hurriedly replied.

"Okay.." Taemin nodded as he fixed his gaze at Jimin who was still busy talking. "Do you know about his past?" he turned and that's when he noticed your sour expression. Of course you hated it, you hate when you think about that girl. Its not like you hate her but its just that you hate the thought that Jimin once loved her.

"I see.." Taemin exhaled heavily. "One last question."

You averted your eyes at him, anticipating his question. Internally praying that he will be asking something which doesn't involves her.

"Do you think, Jimin loves you because of her? Just because your name is same as her?"
