You checked your watch and then lazily looked towards your file, it was already late. From last 5 days you were going home late because you were stuck with your work and especially​ with your boss for his so called 'Important project' which you don't think is important at all. You know you will be late for the dinner date which David had specially planned for you both because from last 5 days you both were not able to meet. He must be waiting for you and you were afraid that he might call his dad and tell about your ignorance which you did not wanted. You have seen him complaining about your job, he even taunts you for being busy and not calling him during your lunch breaks.

You looked at the male who was the reason of your stress. He was busy reading something on the laptop screen, files on his desk. You knew it was intentional, his motive wasn't good at all. He is being cruel.

"This is done Mr. Park." You said all of a sudden.

Jimin took a complete minute to raise his head. "Oh!" His mouth performing an 'O'.

"Can I go-"

"Do the other task."

"Eh?"

"Other task Eun Ae." he ordered as he switched his eyes towards the laptop screen. You knew he won't be listening. He was looking serious.

You rolled your eyes, scrunching your nose. This was too much but then you continued your work by gulping down all the anger you had.

Jimin averted his eyes at you for a moment, he saw how angry you were but still trying to stay calm, he found it cute. He grinned a little as he resumed his work.

Jimin was happy, he was singing, his actions were in harmony with his thoughts.

It was already 11PM and you texted David to cancel the date and go back. You looked towards him. Little did you know that Jimin was purposely doing it. He wanted to keep you away from him and that was the reason he was asking you to stay back.

He parked the car aside on his regular spot as if it was his daily routine and from last 5 days he was following the same- dropping you off home in his Maserati.

You got down from the car. "Thank you."

Jimin smiled and he nodded. You started walking towards your apartment in slow pace. You knew Jimin must be staring at you like always.

You finally walked inside the entrance and Jimin sighed in relief like everyday. It satisfied his ego. Finally taking a look at your apartment he started the engine but then he paused when his phone rang. He saw it was a call from Taehyung.

He received it with a smile.

"Hey Taehyungie! What's up?" he shouted.

"Nothing Jimin. Can we have a drink at my place?"

"Yeah sure-" he suddenly paused, his grip on the steering wheel tightened, his face blanched when he spotted you walking outside the entrance. He even spotted the Hyundai guy.

"Yah.. Jimin.. what am I saying. Are you even listening?"

"No drinks Taehyung." Jimin hung the call after those sharp words and flipped his phone. He started the engine angrily. No matter how much he tries but the fate doesn't seems to favour him. He turned and left angrily with full speed. He was like a wild animal who wasn't ready to give up, fierce and raging. He wasn't knowing where to go but he surely knew he needs to vent his anger now.

+

You knew he saw you with David. He was surely there, watching, in his car. Then you saw him driving harshly. You were afraid, too much afraid.

"I hope he reaches safely." you prayed when you wore your night dress. Plan with David was canceled but still he waited for you to arrive. You both just had a walk and ate some snacks, like always he was talking about his life abroad, sharing stories related to his work and friends but then you weren't interested because from the time you both met he was doing the same, blaming and loathing the culture 'you guys' follow in Korea.

The car scene playing in your mind continuously.

You finally landed on your bed, a thought of calling Jimin aroused in your mind but then you slid that aside because you know it is already late and he might be sleeping or drinking. And there your thoughts were interrupted​ due to the harsh knocking on the door.

You flinched. "Who must be that?" you thought​ but then you collected yourself and walked towards the door. For a moment you thought of keeping a knife handy but you were aware that the area where you live is safe and nothing worse have ever happened.

You slowly placed your hand on the door knob.

"Who?" You called out but then instead of answering the person just knocked again. It must be Hyori playing a prank you thought.

Finally giving up you opened the door and your eyes shot open in pure terror.

He was standing there with ruddy face, a goofy smile plastered on his lips, his blonde hair messed up, a total handsome disaster. Bottle in his hand, coat creasy and tie was almost hanging weirdly somewhere near his belly button.

"You??" You stuttered but then he just giggled.

"Yess..." he grinned from ear to ear. "Its me." he walked inside without even asking for your permission.

"Mr. Par.. Jimin.. where are you going?" You weren't sure whether to touch him or not, your hands just hovered on his chest as you attempted to push him a little but failed.

Jimin stormed inside, wild and free as if he owns the house. He flipped the bottle and luckily it landed on the couch. You were terrified for a second.

"Jimin.." you paused, you knew he was drunk and the door was open. The neighbours might end up making a fuss about it and you did not wanted that. You quickly closed the door after checking whether anyone has seen him enter, luckily the corridor was empty. You sighed in relief.

You turned. "Jimin.. what the hell is this?" You knew you sounded rude but then you cannot hold back. He was drunk and making a mess.

"What??" He turned, his eyes shinning, they were mesmerising and beautiful.

"Why are you here?"

"To sleep!" He declared as he marched inside. "Wh..Where is the bedroom?"

"Yah..!! Where are you going? That's my bedroom!!" You shouted as you ran behind him. You were practically mad at him.

"Ahh.. bed.." Jimin cooed as he finally landed on the bed, his back flat, legs hanging out of the bed, his chin up.

"Yah.. Jimin.. go to your house and sleep. This is my-"

"I don't know the address of my house." He interrupted you. "I was drunkkk.. and when I started the carr... I forgot my address..." he giggled as he rubbed his face with his left hand. "I forgot my address Eun Ae.." he laughed crazily holding his stomach. "How can I forgot my address? But still I forgot my address... and you know? your address was the onlyy.. thing..I remember...so I came here."

Your anger melted. Was he serious? How can he forget his address and only remember yours?

Jimin was lying on the bed, peacefully. His hands spread wide, his breathing pattern erratic. He muttered something in his sleep.

You walked towards him and after taking a brief look at his face, you sat next to him. Jimin was still, he passed out you guessed.

You chuckled a little. Your hands then slowly tangling into his soft blonde locks as you teased it. You shouldn't do this, he is not yours and now you had David. It suddenly reminded you about your mother's statement.

"Eun Ae, David is really nice guy. His father had did so much for us. We should be grateful to him. I was worried about you, about your marriage but my tension was gone with the wind when David's father visited that day and declared that he wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. I really want this marriage to happen Eun Ae. Your life will be great with David! after all he stays abroad and has a decent job. He can keep you happy."

You were drained and totally exhausted. You wanted to make your mom proud and fulfill her wishes. That day you said nothing and just agreed. If David makes her happy then that's great for you as well...!

You almost forgot that you were gazing at Jimin from past five minutes. You exhaled out. You knew that you don't have any feelings for David, his presences does not even excites you. David you know was always mischievous and friendly but now he is quite advance and chilled out man, foreign culture may have huge influence on him you thought. It does not even feels right with him, the way he touches you, holds your hand everything he does is so soulless and void. How can you even live with such man who does not even make your heart race, who does not even make you smile and laugh, who does not even causes butterflies in your stomach. Not to forget his dominating nature, sometimes you get bored when he talks about his work. He is quite pushy and rush for things but then you ignore just for your mother, for her sake. You just go with the flow thinking that one day he will surely listen to your story, your dreams.

What is the point to live with such man who does not even asks how was your day? But then you also knew that you aren't fated with Jimin. You can just date each other but nothing apart from that. Life becomes hard when you are normal middle class girl with big dreams. You have to cut down your expectations and live your life sacrificing.

And you think one day Jimin might propose you for marriage. So stupid of you! Even after ruining you, hurting you, you still think he is the one. You can't stop yourself from falling in love with him. Deep inside even you knew he have feelings for you but he won't voice it out. No, never ever.

You wanted to land next to him, feel yourself getting buried in his arms, you wanted to snuggle deep in his chest and steal his scent and forget that other men does exits in this universe...

Instead,

You got up and walked outside your bedroom to take your place on the couch.

Sometimes two people who loves each other are like opposite sides of a river. They run parallel​ but never meets...
