"Did something happened? You suddenly thought of eating breakfast with me?"

"Nothing hyung." Jimin chewed the last bite of his sandwich then he drank the water in presences of Jin who was looking at him with puzzled wide eyes. The elder learned that something is wrong with Jimin while the younger noticed the way Jin was examining him. "I am feeling restless from the morning hyung." Jimin wasn't joking nor he was making excuse to escape from the situation. Since morning he can sense that something is not right, his mind was restless.

"That's why I say to drink less. You are getting old Jiminie." Jim guffawed.

"Says the one." Jimin chuckled but regretted when he received a smack on his shoulder with a newspaper.

"Manners oldie."

Jimin cleared his throat, he wanted to laugh at the statement but then he kept mum, sometimes it is mandatory to surrender, at least in front of Jin.

"Now move. Mizuki will be here soon. I have a date today. A lunch date."

"Lunch date? Where are you both going to?"

Jin sharply turned to look at him. "Where are you going?" He asked in a sarcastic tone, "What do you mean by that? Why should we go out when I can cook? No place can serve better food than I do on my dining table." Jin bragged confidently.

"That's right though." Jimin smiled and he followed Jin towards the kitchen. The elder was doing the preparation for lunch.

"Are you serious about Mizuki?" Jimin dared asked, he was the only person who hardly knows about Jin and Mizuki.

"Sure? Of course yes." Jin replied.

"Hyung.. how.. I mean what was the moment when you realise that she is the one?" Jimin rested his palms on the kitchen counter. The elder stopped doing his task and looked at Jimin.

"Actually there were many but then most extreme one was when I got angry on her because she tried to show me the mirror, the reality. That day she came to my restaurant to meet me for last time, she apologized and declared that she will be going back to Japan and will settle over there itself. It struck me so hard, it made me realise what I will be missing. I was shook, I started feeling devastated and empty. I have got too attached with her but then my mind wasn't ready to accept it." Jin placed his hand on Jimin's shoulders. "You know what buddy? We are stupid to not know what our heart really wants. We are stupid to not voice out feelings. That day I hit the rock bottom. It made me question myself. I started asking myself what am I going to do when she leaves? What am I going to do when she is owned?" Jin chuckled and looked down. "We spend all our life fooling ourselves​ and at the end we look out for someone whom we cannot fool. What a life Jimin. We are so stupid." Jin chuckled.

Jimin was listening to the elder. Even Jin was interested in telling his story. He loves to talk about Mizuki, their love life.

"That day I ran dude. I ran like a stupid man as if I was running for my life. I wanted her, I wanted her in my life so much. I proposed her finally, I didn't had any doubt, the moment I expressed my feelings was the moment I felt like a calmed sea. I think we all have that special person in our life in disguise who always stand by our side to show our true self, to make us realise how stupid we are but then eventually they complete us. Life is like a jigsaw puzzle dude, now you may think that it is in mess and incomplete but then there will be someone who will walk in your life and offer those lost pieces of puzzle and make your life complete. There will be time dude when you will realise why it never worked out with anyone else."

The eye contact was still there. Jimin's mind was processing the words, heavy words.

"Understood?"

Jimin nodded, smiling. "Yeah.." he lowly said.

"Now"

"Now?" Jimin asked.

"Move from my house shorty, I have work to do." Jin propped the newspaper on his chest. "Move..shoo.."

Jimin chuckled as he nodded, he walked towards the dinning table to collect his coat. "I am leaving hyung." Saying he walked towards the door.

Jin spared a glance towards the door and quickly grabbed his phone, he scrolled the contact list and stopped when a specific name appeared. He clicked on it.

"He was here."

"I told you that someday he will visit you. He needs suggestions. Such a pabo he is."

"You were right like always! But he did not revealed anything."

"He won't do that, never ever... I am happy that you know everything about him. I actually wanted him to talk to you because only you can do that, only you can handle him and his issues."

"Aye.. you trust me so much?" Jin chuckled.

"You tamed the maknae though."

"Being your only handsome hyung I need to raise you guys."

"What's the connection?"

"Don't worry he will. Now what's the plan?"

"I don't have any. This was the final blow, I want him to realise and take decisions on his own and this time no spoonfeeding. I am fed up of his nonsense attitude of hiding and waiting. This time, its his loss if he still wants to wait. Let him suffer then.."

"I hope he better not wait. Okay, I need to work now. Talk to you later."

"Yeah bye.."

(With whom Jin was talking too? Guess the person.)

It was sixth time Jimin caught you staring at your mobile as if it was a bomb. What's with her? was the only question running in his mind but he did not dared asking.

"I have completed my part of work. We are ready for the seminar." you said after a long time.

Jimin nodded. "I hope you have attached all the detail documents."

"Yes, I have." you stood up as you collected all the documents, "Let's go, shall we?"

Jimin noticed your aura was different, you weren't the same girl from yesterday. The scene from yesterday was still in his mind. He can still remember the way you were so tender and soft beneath him, the way you batted your eyelashes, the way your lips parted to moan but then you controlled and stopped which he hated it, he hated it so damn much, he wanted to hear what would you sound like, how his body will react to that voice, he wanted to know it, study it and learn it!

"Yeah" he got up and took his coat from the side table and followed you towards the door.

Your forehead scrunched up, "7 missed calls?" you saw it were from your mom, you knew she will be coming to Seoul to meet David's dad and of course you still remember that you have to go for the dinner.

"Any problem?" Jimin asked. You nodded after scanning his face, all your stress vanishes when he appears in front of you, that's the power of Park Jimin, handsome man with elegant personality, you know he is capable to make every girl go gaga with his smile and looks but Park Jimin you know is beyond his looks, his soul is too deep to explore by those who always swam in the shallow end.

"Wait near the car, I will use the restroom and come." he said as he handed the files and his laptop to you. You walked towards the elevator when he left. You phone beeped when you were just about to enter the elevator, you saw it was a voice message from your mother. You pressed the button after you entered the elevator. Eyes glued to the notification, you wanted to see what your mother had sent you. Finally, you clicked on it.

"Eun Ae, where are you? I guess you must be busy aegi. I thought of sending this voice message. Eun Ae, I am in Seoul right now and will be meeting David's father soon. The reason I called you is that I want your engagement to take place tonight itself! I know this decision is sudden but then I think it is for our happiness. David is such a great guy and I know he is very desperate to marry you and I don't want him to wait and suffer. I know he will keep you happy just by the way he was talking about you on the phone. He said he will be looking after your passport thing as well. Don't get shocked when you hear this also, call me as soon as you get time. Bye, I love you. See you tonight."

You leaned on the wall of the elevator. David called your mother? you know he is the one after this engagement thing, he is the one who wants to rush for it.

"Wasn't he eager to hold an engagement party?" you remember his words, he said he wanted to hold a grand party for your engagement and call his friends to celebrate, why so hurry then?

You wiped your sweat when the elevator dinged. You have no choice, you pulled yourself and walked outside. Sometimes you need to walk on the bridge which you should've burned it on the first place itself.

A strong feeling of restlessness gushed through your chest, you are about to get engaged with him tonight, he is eager to marry. Why so hurry? you wanted time, you wanted to stop this, you wanted to run and hide somewhere and not come back. You thought of calling David but then dropped your plans because you weren't really interest to talk with that jerk nor he will understand what you are going through. Cold sweat trickled down your head, all you could see was darkness engulfing you and consuming you wholly.

Why so much suffering all at once? You cannot even say no because that might hurt your mom. You can't even tell to Jimin. Such a pity!

"I need to stop this!" you muttered.

"What do you want to stop?" you sharply turned to see Jimin standing, he flipped his hair, his stare sharply darted on you, "What do you want to stop?" he asked again when you did not replied.

"Nothing" you muttered and walked a little backward to open the door.

"She is behaving weird!" he muttered as he went to other side.

While driving he noticed that you were weirdly gazing at your phone same like morning.

Something is wrong, his mind registered!
