You made your way towards Mr. Park's office. His message still flashing in front of your eyes which he had sent in the morning.

What does he wants now?

You knocked the door before entering. You were bit taken aback when you saw him smiling at you as if he was waiting for you.

"Mr. Park, you called me?"

"Yeah, take a seat."

You nodded before marching towards the chair. Jimin took his place when you sat down a bit uncomfortably, his eyes gazing you and you weren't sure what to learn from them.

"Any new projects? Or-"

"No new projects." he cuts you off. "My personal project." He gives a sweet grin and you internally melt.

"I want your help aa..actually... I don't know how to do that so I kind... kind of thought of asking..your help. There is no one apart from you who can help me." he stuttered a little and scratched his head before switching his eyes towards his laptop. "Well.. I have opened an account on a website.. so I want you to.. short..shortlist some profiles for me.." he looks at you sheepishly but only he knows how badly he was trying to maintain the stare. When Taehyung proposed this plan to him, he was unsure whether to proceed or not but then like always Jimin knows Taehyung is always right when it comes to cunning plans and relationship advices.

"Which profiles?" you asked.

"You know me very well Ms. Lee and I know this fact will help you to find a match for me." Jimin's tone instantly lowered when he said the last sentence.

Your eyes shoot open but then you calmed yourself by reminding that you have moved on and so did he. How can he ask such help from you despite of knowing how emotional and heartbreaking your past is? How can he even ask that? How can he even dare? Isn't that too much? Was your love for him fake? Only you know how badly somewhere your heart thought that someday you both will be back soon, at least he will try so.

"Oh.."

"Help me with these profiles." Jimin slid his laptop towards you and you saw that site, 'sexysugardaddy.com'

Your brain processed everything. So he did moved on though. You nodded without saying a word.

"You will know what it is once you see it." Jimin got up from his place, he knew he cannot face you now. He could see that you were hurt but then he needs to do that, for sorting out everything, for getting you back.

"Okay.."

Jimin walked towards the door. "I have a meeting. I will meet you in the evening." he declared and walked out without even looking at you.

You huffed, feeling weak and emotionally tired. You looked at the laptop screen, eyes blank and emotionless, voice trying hard to escape​. You lifted your hand to put your fingers on the mouse.

It will be hard for you now...

You already knew what the site was about and now finding a match for Jimin is like jotting down all the possible methods of suicide.

Yes, methods of suicide.

"I am worried Taehyung." Jimin chewed his lower lip too hard that it started bleeding.

"The pain before happiness is worth it." Taehyung sipped down the expensive wine and smacked his lips.

"Why can't I just propose her and just let out everything?"

"Do it then."

Jimin raised his eyebrows, "Seriously?"

"And get rejected." Taehyung sneered.

"Yah.. Taehyung-ah.. I am serious."

Taehyung chuckled a bit as he handed a glass to Jimin. Jimin rejected his request at first but then sipped it.

"You remember how hard it was to bring her here? We have brought her back by saying that we will treat her as an employee only and nothing else? Take it slow Jiminie pabo or else the duration of your love life will be as smol as your pinky finger."

"Yah.." he smacked the male who was snorting.

"But tell me one thing frankly Jiminie.. I want to ask you again. Though I know the answer but still I will ask you. You can be angry on me, scold me."

"What?" Jimin had a clue but he still wanted Taehyung to let out.

"Are you really in love with her or just feeling pity for her? Or this is just because her name is Eun Ae?"

Jimin gazed at Taehyung. He knew people will ask such questions, there are people out there (including readers) who still thinks that Jimin likes her just because her name is Eun Ae.

"Well, it did started like that. I met her in the hospital during Jeon Eun Ae's delivery and was shocked when I learned that her name is Eun Ae too. Coincidentally,​ she was my employee and I did exploited her in my ways just to make me feel better, just to make my heart feel better. I completely took her for granted, her love for granted. In those stupid moments I forgot what I missed, I forgot how stupid and heartless I behaved. There were moments when I could have felt her unconditional love for me but then I was blind. And then somewhere I was getting attached to her, I was liking her company, the way she talks, her approach towards life. I was amazed, she lives in a different world."

Jimin took another sip, it felt as if the drink was adding fuel to his burning heart. "She had a huge crush on me and I found out about it when I accidentally​ saw my pictures in her mobile. I thought​ like other girls she is just attracted to my looks and money."

"But she isn't."

"I know Taehyung, I know she isn't behind my money. She loved me when I was broken from inside, she loved me when I was lonely and going through tough times, she loved me when I was too selfish and rude to be loved. She loved me despite of knowing that my eyes were set on another woman. She is insane, her love is insane... Now I want to appreciate everything and reciprocate but then she is not with me. Her love is like an addictive drug..." Jimin chuckled as he lowered his eyes.

"Too bad man.." Taehyung patted his back. "That's why I call you Jiminie pabo.."

Jimin and Taehyung both chuckled after the statement.

"Are you done?"

You were startled due to his sudden entry, you stood up with shocked expressions.

"Why are you shocked?" Jimin was taken aback, he wasn't expecting such reaction from you.

"Well.. aa.. Mr. Park... you came all of a sudden... and I was-"

"Oh..it's fine.. are you okay?"

"Yes, I am." You smiled nervously.

Jimin walked towards you, "So, what's the status?"

"Actually... to be frank... I didn't like any." Your fingers fiddling as you looked at him straight, nervous about how he will react.

Jimin was blank, he studied your expressions. "Why so Ms. Lee?"

"I learned what the website was about and here is what I found; as a loyal employee of Park, I just want to state that the way you love Jeon Eun Ae, the way your eyes sparkles when you stare at her.. it.. it makes me feel like you aren't looking for short term lust." You looked down, "I am sorry Mr. Park, you hold a status in the country, people look at you as their idol and if you are investing in short term lust then it might effect your reputation. I don't think a man like you must be interested in short time casual fling." You looked at him. "You are a gentleman, a man with ethics, a man with values and a gentleman never goes for short term lust." you finished the sentence. You could see something inside him ignited just by the way he was staring at you, he did not moved.

Jimin on the other hand wasn't expecting such response from you, he was shocked yet proud. You hold a special place in his life, in his heart and he knows that but then today, you earned respect by your statement. After Jeon Eun Ae, he was sure there won't be anyone who can impress him, who can make him feel special and loved. In fact, he never imagined he can ever experience this feeling of getting attached to someone. With Jeon Eun Ae it was always onesided. The way you look at him make him feel special and loved, the way your eyes sparkles make him feel that he can be a better person too, you give him the reasons to love his insecurities, his flaws, his past. You have shown him that there are reasons he should love himself.

He gazed at you, the soft smile placed on your lips, it looks great. He wished he should have been the reason behind your smile but then he was not.

He looked away for a moment, he cannot handle the heat, the emotions, they are too bad and on the top of that he was slightly drunk. Damn Taehyung!!

"But if you still want to go for it then I have listed some profiles which you can-"

"Not needed." Jimin cuts you off. "Do me a favour instead."

"What favour?" you asked curiously.

"I want you to delete my profile." Jimin said as he walked towards his place.

You were left stunned in your place, blankly blinking. Did you heard that right? He wants to delete his profile? So that means he won't be searching for those bi+ches?

You shouldn't be smiling, you have moved away and so did he. He has just ordered to delete the profile and that means just delete his profile, nothing else.

You chewed back your tongue and your smile. "Okay." You walked towards the laptop.

"So, Ms. Lee. I want you-" Jimin paused when the lights of the cabin went off. "What happened to the lights?" Jimin banged the table as he rose from the chair furiously. Even you were afraid and bit shocked. How come lights are gone in such a huge company?

Jimin marched towards the door to see what was going on but then he froze at his place when he learned that the door was locked as well. "What the hell is happening? What is this?" he rasped.

"What happened Mr. Park?" You worriedly asked as you weren't knowing what he was talking about in the dark. Due to his voice, you assumed that he walked towards the door.

"Damn this door is locked and the lights are gone. What the hell is happening?"

"Why?" You clutched your dress.

"Don't know. Wait let me call my manager." Jimin quickly removed his mobile and was about to call Minjun but stopped when his phone beeped. He saw it was a message.

Call no one and enjoy the darkness...
Love,
Taehyung.
