Tamed | Im Jaebum (mafia!au)

Jaebum entered his father’s office quiet and, if he was being honest, moved by pure curiosity. Ever since the marriage took place, talking to his strict parent was limited to polite good mornings and good nights, when they weren’t in a meeting, much to his please.

He couldn’t clearly remember the time which talking to him was easy, with no pressure or second intentions, but Jaebum knew times like these happened before, a long time ago.

Still quiet, he sat on the sofa in front of his father’s desk, watching conflict go through those eyes he knew his whole life.

“Was there a problem in the last deal, sir?” Jaebum asked, anxious to discover what bothered his, usually too calm, father. With the silence of no answer, he tried again. “Donnie said… He said we had a deal. He’s backing out now?”

Fear of disappointing his father took over Jaebum’s heart. Due to his quiet nature, the son always tried to impress the older, seeking for a little bit of attention. Even as a married adult, things don’t change easily.

“Jaebum, my son…” He tried to speak, clearly not finding words to express. Jaebum could see how torturing that was to his father.

The worst-case scenario passed through his mind. “Where’s my mom? Did something happen to her?”

“No. I just don’t know how to talk about it. Your wife… She…” He lost words again.

Jaebum thought about what could have happened. He saw you just before entering the office, you wanted to speak with him, so he just stood there, quiet again, waiting for the words that were taking too long to be spoken.

“She is having an affair with one of our trust men”.

His stomach twisted.

“I still don’t know who, but the moment we find out, I want you to take care of this problem. Can you handle that?”

Trying to keep his head clean, think about the situation, Jaebum thought of it. Could it be true?

“If you don’t know with who, how do you know it’s happening?”

“One of the maids found this in her bathroom.” His father reached something in his drawer, exposing a white stick wrapped in paper. Jaebum knew what that was.

Too shocked at the news, holding the test, the young man had trouble to keep his breathing pace.

“What are you saying?” He didn’t know how long he spaced out, but his father was still talking.

“We gotta be quick to solve it, we don’t want you raising bastards and I don’t want others to know something like this happened right bellow our nose”.

“A bastard?” His father was going too quick, while Jaebum was still focused on the pregnancy test in his hands. “I don’t understand”.

“Jaebum, she’s not Mary. Someone knocked her up. We know she’s not sleeping with you, so someone else is, considering it’s only one”.

The excitement of finding out your pregnancy disappeared the moment he heard his father’s words.

“You know we are not sleeping together.” Disgust was clear in his paused words. “What do you mean by that? Are you keeping a track on our sex lives?”

His father was shocked by his tone. Jaebum never questioned him, never raised his voice before.

“Are you stalking our marriage?”

Still shocked, Jaebum’s father took a moment to realize that was a real question. “You kept your room, she has hers. You sleep in yours, Y/N sleep in hers every night. You never visited her room, seven months of marriage now. My son, one plus one doesn’t turn three”.

“You sound so perverted.” Jaebum felt sick. “I’m not really surprised that you want to control even that if I’m being honest.” A laugh emerged from his chest, involuntary.

The older one moved back, resting his back in the leather chair. “So you’re saying it could be yours?”

The cold tone used to scare the shit out of Jaebum, but not now. There were limits. He would take a lot, be quiet and obedient, but it was tiring. He was tired of living in a house with eyes and ears every wall, spying him.

“You want to know if I’m fucking my wife? Ask me then”.

The father paused for a good twenty seconds, making Jaebum think he wouldn’t dare, but he did.

“Are you?”

He lost his cool. Everything he kept inside his chest, trying to be the good son, came out, and there were lots more inside.

“I’m leaving this house by the end of the week. I can take you criticizing me for minor mistakes, picking my clothes, hairstyle, friends I can mingle.” Jaebum thought of all those friends he had to hid the friendship because his father would see no profit in them. “You even chose me a bride and our guests for the wedding. I agreed. Accepted”.

Jaebum took a great breath, trying to calm down.

“We feel awkward here, it’s horrible. How could we get to know each other with everyone in this house watching us? Like mouses in a lab.” He waited for his father to show any emotion, but the same cold façade was there, like marble. “Do you know how shitty I felt for taking my wife to a hotel room after dinner because I can’t have sex with her at my bed?” The weird laugh was back.

“Most guys feel bad because they can’t pay a good hotel room to spicy things with their girls sometimes, but for me is the opposite. I can’t bring her home because my father will be watching everything. He needs to control every single human being around him!” Jaebum’s voice elevated, he didn’t doubt that people outside could hear him.

“Are you done?”

Jaebum spoke before words were thought. “We’re leaving the house today”.

“What?” His father showed he had emotions again that day. “I need you here”.

“Not the whole time. I’ll come back and fulfill my obligations, but I won’t live here anymore. I’ll be packing my stuff if you need me, but then, we’re leaving”.

Jaebum started walking away from the office, anger still giant in his chest, but he couldn’t make himself leave the room before spilling another truth.

“Just in case you’re still confused, yes, I’m fucking my wife, pretty good. Actually, I did it yesterday. We did eat our breakfast out like I told ya. The out was a hotel room. Guess that’s how she got pregnant”.

Salus - Chanyeol (mafia!au) | Chapter 3

genre: romance/drama/angst

summary: The thought of being back home always tormented you, ever since you left. You thought about all possibilities, but not one where your ex-boyfriend would want to be your friend again, just like before all that mess, as if it would be easy to ignore how your heart still races just by seeing him.

prologue | chapter 1 | chapter 2 | chapter 3 | chapter 4

Chanyeol made clear that he wanted to be friends again, but you were clueless how he would do it. Half of your heart was expecting him to say that just because he felt bad and not give it attention, but the other half was expecting him to come around and make effort. Do what he promised, at least once.

Jude was still on your mind when her father finally decided to show up and prove you that he was sticking to his words, a few days later. When Minseok came knocking your door, telling you he was there, you took the longest you could, mentally preparing yourself. What would you both even talk about? About those years apart? Maybe something random? Each subjecting terrifying you even more. You didn’t even know him anymore.

Arriving at the living room, you regretted wasting so much time locked up in that room. Sitting beside Chanyeol on the sofa was Jongdae. Your friend, that was not that friendly to you anymore, but still was there.

“Dae?” The surprise is clear in your voice. He only nods at you, still upset.

You were relieved. If Chanyeol managed to bring Jongdae to your apartment, that could only mean that there was a chance of fixing things in your friendship. Knowing Jongdae for so long, you knew he was stubborn. Way too stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one else could change it, it didn’t matter that the person proved him wrong, it would actually make everything worst.

“Let’s go?” He asked the other friend, still not looking in your eyes. “The others are waiting, already”.

It was not enough, you still felt too distant from him, but it was a beginning. At that moment, you decided to not let it affect you even more than it was already doing, and instead of focusing on dealing with Chanyeol, you would worry only about saving your old friendships. That would be your goal before leaving again and a good distraction.

When you arrived at the pizza place, a smile took over your face when you saw Yixing sitting there, chatting with Baekhyun and Sehun, alongside with a girl.

“That is Yixing’s girlfriend.” Chanyeol murmurs, walking to the table.

“And what about Liao?” You remember his girlfriend, that moved with him from China when he exchanged places with Minseok, ten years ago. Something that was supposed to happen for only a year, but turned out better for both.

“They broke up years ago, a little after they came. It was bad.” Jongdae starts, forgetting for a moment that he’s not talking to you. “He’s dating Karlie for… I don’t know, maybe six, seven years now. I think he will propose after Junmyeon’s marriage”.

“I see.” You decide to make a joke. “I guess you forgot to mention it in our calls”.

He stops walking, making Chanyeol and you, that were behind him, stop too.

“It’s not like you were sharing news too”.

You stay quiet, not really knowing how to answer that. The blush was covering your whole face now. Chanyeol gives you a wink, encouraging you to not let Jongdae intimidate you. Your heart aches when you remember that he would always do that when you felt insecure. Maybe they were the same, after all.

Dealing with Jongdae would be harder than Chanyeol, you realize.

“Hey, finally!” Sehun was the first to notice your arrival. “We’re over here”.

Everyone got up and started to greet each other, and Yixing introduced you to Karlie, his new long-term girlfriend.

“We can finally chat, Y/N.” Yixing started. “How was your trip?”

You shrug.

“I don’t really remember. When I realized, the plane was already landing, I was a little bit anxious.” Except for Jongdae, they all chuckle and the conversation change topics.

After the first slice is served, you stare your old friend, unable to eat. He was talking to everyone else, normally, even laughing, but no word directed to you, that happening through the whole meal. You never expected Jongdae to be so childish.

“We gotta go now.” The lawyer announces, with Karlie by his side, already saying bye. “I have a trial tomorrow morning”.

“And I need to bring you safe, or else Minseok will kill me.” Chanyeol jokes with you. “Not that he doesn’t want me dead, already. It would just legitimate him to do it”.

You chuckle, hiding your mouth.

“I thought the same.” Baekhyun tells him. “He’s just waiting for a good reason to punch your face again”.

“Again?” Your question is ignored in the middle of laughs.

You can see the interest in Jongdae’s eyes change suddenly. Oh no. He’s looking, back and forth, from Baekhyun to you.

You know you’re in more trouble.

“Do you all want to leave already?” Chanyeol breaks the silence, looking unsure. “It’s still soon”.

“I need to get going too. I have a flight early in the morning”.

“You gotta solve that contract?” Jongdae wonders, looking at Sehun, that just nod, but you know his focus is not totally on the youngest.

“Which one?” Chanyeol seemed interested, and so did Yixing. You were bored, not even knowing what they’ve been working now.

“That beach house. The owner is just giving me headaches. Always changing his prices and… Now even his daughter is involved.” He looks at you, not saying any other word. Was that a secret? You felt left out.

“Sehun was hired to mediate a sale, but since its value increased so much these last months, the owner is always increasing its price too.” Chanyeol explained to you, seeing how confused you were.

“If it’s too high, just don’t buy it”.

“The thing is… " Sehun started explaining, very quickly. “That’s the only house left in that block, and they need that space”.

So pay what they are asking, you wanted to say, but you hold your tongue back, not allowing to show how ignorant about this topic you were. You barely knew how to calculate the taxes, Minseok would always help you when it came that time.

“It looks like they don’t want to sell it, they are just wasting your time.” The moment you said it, you could see Sehun’s face turning red. Being so young, you could imagine how many times people didn’t take him seriously.

You notice how focused Chanyeol got, looking at his cellphone. Baekhyun got closer to him, trying to look at it too.

“Uh, I need to go at Junmyeon’s before going home.” He murmurs, more to himself than to you. “Dae, do you mind taking Y/N?”

Oh. No.

“No problem.” He crossed his arms, but he seemed worried about Chanyeol too, letting his childish behavior go for a second. “Something happened?”

“Yeah. I mean, no. That’s Kyungsoo. He needs help with something”.

“I thought you said you need to see Junmyeon?” You can’t help yourself. If he was ditching you, at least do it properly.

You feel how tense he was, but you don’t let this pass. Why can’t they just tell what’s wrong? Even Yixing and his girlfriend seemed to be worried, and for the little you know the lawyer, he’s way too calm.

“I did? Uh. That’s because I do need to pass there, and then I’ll go to Kyungsoo”.

You were not satisfied with that answer, something felt off, everyone was tense. But you let it go, there was no use to ask about something he didn’t want to answer. And your friendship wasn’t strong enough to push him. You didn’t have a place in his life to do it.

“Can we leave, Dae?”

You knew Chanyeol was feeling conflicted on letting you leave like that, but you couldn’t care less. You hated feeling outside, especially around people that were supposed to be friends with you.

Jongdae and you went silent to the car. His mind was going wild, a lot of things going on, you could see that by the way he gesticulated his hands, talking to himself.

“Dae?” You call him, suddenly, when he stops at a sign. “What was that when we were leaving?”

“With Kyungsoo?”

You nod, waiting for him to kill your curiosity. These years you spent away, Jongdae has become more and more silent, holding back information, sharing only what he thought that was interesting to you, or worthy saying, at least that’s what you thought. You felt his change, but you wished that he wouldn’t do the same when in front of you.

He seemed… Like he was doing the same you did before. He didn’t trust you like you didn’t trust him.

“It’s just. Chanyeol did something, years ago, something that wasn’t really legal… Something really bad.”

“What? He tried drugs?” You interrupt him, joking, but regret the same moment, seeing his face. That look he gave you, it chilled you. “Why is Kyungsoo taking care of it instead of Yixing or Minseok?”

You hoped that Minseok wasn’t denying help because of you.

“It’s a mess. As long as we can take care of it without lawyers, it’s better. Believe me. ” His grip on the wheel got tighter. You could see how white his knuckles got. “Let’s not talk about what happened. Focus on now. Someone knows what happened.” He starts gesticulating while driving. “If this person spills the beans, she will get in trouble too, but nothing compared to what Chanyeol could face. Kyungsoo was negotiating with her. Chanyeol is going there to know the news”.

“So, someone is blackmailing Chanyeol?”

“No, not him. She's blackmailing Junmyeon. Everyone. Us all. We knew it. Shit, I even helped. But Chanyeol is this person’s target.” Jongdae sighs, before continuing. He’s getting angry. “Just please, don’t think too much about it. It’s been so long, doesn’t matter anymore, anyway. We will take care of it”.

“It seemed like it does matter”.

“You know what matters?” His grip on the steering wheel got tighter. “Baekhyun seems to know the reason why Minseok was so furious at Chanyeol because of you, and I don’t”.

“Can’t we leave Chanyeol out of a topic for once? It seems like he’s the only subject we have to talk about.”

When Jongdae kept silent, you give up ignoring it.

“Ugh. Baekhyun wasn't supposed to know. Chanyeol probably told him, you know how annoying he can get when he’s curious”.

“So. What is it?”

“It’s something that happened so long ago. I never expected Minseok to behave that way. So unnecessary, but it’s my fault. I should have kept silent”.

You knew that changing the subject was not going to help you, and Jongdae wasn’t going to let you do it, but trying was still an option. Just talking about it made your chest ache, for many different reasons. Jongdae could end up being more angry at you than he already was!

He stayed silent, still waiting for your explanation.

“Sorry I lied to you. I do know why Minseok was angry, sorry, Dae.” You pause for a moment, thinking carefully on your next words. “Before Chanyeol and Meri were a thing, things were different”.

“How different?” You could feel the softness on his voice now. You didn’t have to voice it, he already understood.

“It was a secret. Chanyeol and I.” Tears were forming on your eyes. All you didn’t cry on your best friend’s shoulder were here now, ready to embarrass you. “For two years”.

Jongdae kept silent, thinking about what you just confessed.

You felt relieved. Your best friend was no longer in the shadow, there was no reason to not tell everything now. You felt lighter.

“When he came to break whatever it was that we had, he was already seeing her. Chanyeol told me that. He didn’t care how I felt about it. He asked me to stay friends with him. And I stayed, for a year”.

After a few minutes staring the road without looking at it, you realize that Jongdae already parked in front of the building. Your heart asked you to tell the whole truth but things were so ugly… You were not ready to have Jongdae knowing this side of you.

“You’re quiet, but you don’t seem to be shocked”.

“If we’re being honest here, it’s not really a surprise that something was going on between you two. Baekhyun and I… We kinda knew it, never knowing. We even guessed it once, before he was with Meri.” He pressed his forehead, looking stressed. “I always knew you felt something different when it came to Chanyeol. It was really obvious”.

You sighed, recognizing the truth in his words. That was absolutely true. Everyone knew. Even kids at school used to joke about it. You always denied, and so did Chanyeol, but deep in your heart, you wanted him to stop kids from joking about your friendship and tell everyone he liked you, so you could finally assume your feelings.

Except he never did that. For years you thought he was just shy about it, but when he declared his love for Meri on his birthday, the truth came. He probably never even realized you had feelings for him. Child’s dream.

“Baekhyun once mentioned that he thought Chanyeol looked different at you. That he commented something that picked his interest, but I didn’t really believe. You know how Baekhyun is. Even Junmyeon said something once. Knowing it was true is not really that shocking now”.

Junmyeon? Your heart raced.

He turned to you, but still not looking into your eyes.

“But then he made all that scene for Meri. The guys even admitted they were wrong”.

“You mean Chanyeol confessing his feelings for her at his birthday party? That was when it all started”.

“What? How? I slept at his house that day”.

You chuckle at his innocence. He really slept there, so did Baekhyun and Jongin. They stayed for an after party, that was what they called, and to mend Chanyeol’s broken heart, picking its pieces.

“Boys got so drunk that you all passed away in the living room. He was bored, wide awake, Chanyeol didn’t want to sleep yet, so he came to see if I was still awake. My parents didn’t see him coming in, but they caught him leaving. Didn’t you always wondered why dad still looks weird at Chanyeol?” You try to make a joke, but you only earn a smile from Jongdae. It looked almost like pity.

“Please, don’t look at me like that. I loved him so much that I didn’t care about his silly crush on Meri. It was just it. A crush. We were friends for so long that I never thought he would leave me so easily, breaking my heart. I’m fine now”.

You expected Jongdae to call you a liar. He didn’t, but you knew he knew.

His expression wasn’t changing, and anxiety was consummating you. It was hard to breathe, so you tried to open the car’s window, but that wasn’t enough, so you opened the car’s door.

You turned your whole body for outside, to catch air easily, and felt when his hands were caressing your hair, just like he had done back then, whenever you needed someone to just… Just be there.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Softness was back at his voice and you felt like going back on time. Maybe he was still the same Jongdae and you were still the same Y/N.

“He wanted to keep it a secret. Always delaying it. Only when he told me about her that I understood his reasons. He never planned to stay”.

At this point, there was no reason to hold your tears. You just let them fall, not able to endure the pain in your throat.

He never planned on staying because his place was by her side. You cried harder, unsure if they were for your first heartbreak or guilty.

Guilty was consummating you since you got back at the city.

“I know I’m an idiot but, even if I could, I wouldn’t change that. I would change many things that I’ve done, but not loving him. But I hate him. Being friends again is almost killing me, Dae”.

After calming down, your seat straight again and close the door.

“I called off my engagement. I had to tell Minseok why I didn’t want Alec here. I like him, but I don’t feel like I deserve him. Not when I still have feelings for someone else”.

“Is that why Minseok was so mad at Chanyeol?”

“I had to tell him why to explain what I couldn’t explain to Alec. I just didn’t think he would take it to his heart. Do you think I did wrong?”

He stood silent, just staring you.

That was even more difficult than when you told Minseok. Your cousin got really angry at Chanyeol, but that was it. You were spared. Jongdae no. Jongdae was just silent, not showing any reaction. He was almost numb.

“If you miss him, or think of giving him a real chance, call him. Invite him so we can meet the guy. You already said you've engaged anyway.” Then you finally feel his eyes staring you. “Or you think on trying something with Chanyeol?”

“I didn’t break up with Alec because of that. I just want to make sure that I’m not doing to him the same that Chanyeol did to me”.

“Y/N.” Jongdae calls for your attention. “If you feel like that, maybe you like him way more than you think. And people don’t deserve people. We can’t control feelings. If he likes you, there’s no such a thing as deserving”.

Yes. Maybe you did like Alec more than you thought.

You entered the apartment, determined. You were going to call Alec and be nice to him. You wouldn’t rush and tell him to come already, but talking to Jongdae made you soften your heart and want to be nicer with him.

“Were you crying?” Minseok surprises you, when you enter the kitchen, making you even forgot what you were going to pick.

Your cousin is sitting in front of his laptop, wearing his work glasses. Carla nowhere to be seen.

“It was nothing. I was talking to Jongdae”.

“You’re really fine?”

“Minseok, I think I’m gonna call Alec and tell him that I don’t want to break up with him. At least not yet”.

The only other time you saw Minseok smiling so big was on his wedding day. Your heart felt warm, maybe you were finally doing things right.

“I’m glad you’re giving it a second thought”.

You were going back to your room when you remembered.

"Why did you punch Chanyeol the first time?"

A laugh crossed his face, seeming to be a good memory. "That was a long time ago. Let's just say that at that time I also had a crush on Meri".

Payback - Jungkook | Chapter 4

genre: romance/comedy/friends-to-lovers

summary: “Revenge is sweet”, that’s what they say, and your plan is to find out if that statement is true. After finding out about your boyfriend’s infidelity, you seek after his lover’s boyfriend, cause mama always told you that sweets are better when shared. But first, you need to convince him to join you.

Jungkook: Can we talk rn? [received: 06:23 p.m.]

Y/N: Sure! Something is up? [sent: 06:24 p.m. / read: -]

Right after you press “send”, you were surprised by his call. It was not the first time you were talking to each by a phone call, but it was not something common too. And certainly not unexpected.

“Hey. I thought you meant texting.” You laugh. “Is everything alright?” Worry got over you.

“Oh, sorry. Are you busy?” Jungkook made you smile. “What is this noise? I can call you later…”

“Not busy, I just left the office. I’m waiting for my ride.” You sighed, knowing it would take a while until you could get home. “What’s the occasion?”

His laugh echoing is enough to make you feel warm. Since the beginning of your plan, Jungkook and you became friends. To be honest, you doubt that if weren’t for these “special” circumstances, you would never be friends with a guy like him. At least something good from this horrible situation.

“It’s just that… Calli is coming, in like, maybe twenty minutes, and I thought we could mess with her a little bit”.

You bite your lip. The boy was learning fast.

“Sure, but, care to explain your plan and how can I help it?”

“I won’t stop talking with you when she arrives. I hope that it bothers her.” He confesses.

You thought a little about it.

“Jungkook, I have an idea.” You hold back your laughter. “When she arrives, you keep talking with me, then when you see she’s completely frustrated, you finish the call and tells her you will be taking a shower. But…” You keep the best part for the end. “You take your cellphone with you, and, will she sleep there?”.

“Yes. Why?”

This time you can’t hold your laugh. He’s so innocent.

“Because she will be curious. And if you don’t let her touch your cellphone this evening, she will be so pissed to the point of even calling me. I’m sure that I will receive a call before tomorrow ends. Please, delete my contact so she will have no idea who she’ll be calling”.

“I just wanted to make her frustrated. This seems too elaborated. Are you sure this all will happen?”

“Of course I am. Do you forget I’m also a woman?” You roll your eyes, knowing he’s not seeing it. “Oh my God. I’m adding you on Facebook right now”.

“Didn’t we agree it would be better if we did not? Less suspicious?”

“She will probably ask my name when she calls, if we have each other on Facebook, it will frustrate her even more! Don’t worry if I like all your pics too.”

You both laugh and then there’s a silence for a moment, and it makes you feel anxious like something should be said.

“Should we plan our next step while we wait?”

“Yeah.” You answer quickly, still anxious. “Totally. Any idea?”

“Not really, but Jordan must be in it, too. How can we be sure she’s telling him her worries?”

“What if we all went to a party, and somehow, we meet up? Coincidences do not exist at all”

“That’s a nice…” You can hear Jungkook’s breathing. “She’s here.” He whispers.

“Okay. I’m also here. Let’s keep talking like before. Get calm and act.” You can’t blame him for being nervous. You were too and wasn’t even there.

You mute your cell while a car is passing and honking. Suddenly you hope your brother to not arrive so soon.

“Is she inside already?” You ask very softly.

“Yeah.” You hear a few noises. “Hey, Calli. Just a second and I will end it”.

You can help to laugh. Jordan always did it to you, ignoring you while talking on his phone. Nothing is more frustrating than it.

“So, what should we talk about?”

“When is that thing you were talking about before?” You get the hint.

“The party? I don’t know of any. What about you?”

“I think is this Friday, at Seokjin’s house. You remember him, right?” Wrong, you thought. “If you’re up to… We could go together.”

Oh no.

“I know that a house party would be perfect for our plan, Jungkook, but I can’t go to your friend’s house. How will I explain that I know him to Jordan? Or even, how can I get in?”

When he chuckles, you realize his plan.

“Oh. Oh. You’re so mean. A crime genius.” You whisper. “ That’s your idea, right? Them wondering how I knew it?”

“This could work for you?” You understand what he meant again.

“Your plans are way better than mines. I envy that.” Your lips form a pout. “And I’m glad you joined me”.

This could go perfectly. Jordan would be dying to know how you knew about the party if you’re not friends with Seokjin, Calli would be confused too. All his friends would have to do was tell that they knew you because of Jungkook and everything would start to go down. Like you wanted.

“What can I do? This could be great for us.” He sighs. “Calli, wait for a second, I’m talking here”.

“She is already curious?” You’re surprised. “I would wait a little bit more before questioning”.

“Yes, I also thought that”.

You both laugh, and you can’t feel bad for her. She probably laughed more when with Jordan. At least you both were not cheating.

“We just need to make sure that your friend will tell them the right things”.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I mean, if somehow he ends up chatting with Jordan, or if Calli questions him why I was invited. We need to use that in our favor”.

“Why don’t we talk about the details tomorrow at lunch?”

You barely had time for your lunch today, it would be an impossible task leaving for such a distant place.

“I can’t at lunch. Can it be later?”

“Look, I’ll take a shower now, I’ll text you later”.

After saying goodbye to you, Jungkook had to hold back his smile so Calli wouldn’t notice it. He was enjoying this more than he thought he would.

When you talked to him, all he thought was exposing them and leaving Calli, but now… This was way better.

“Babe, I’ll take a quick shower, okay?”

“Who was that?”

“Who?” He asks, trying to sound silly. “At the call? A new colleague at work. I wanted to be friendly in the name of all the department and since Seokjin will be throwing a party…”

“Party?”

Jungkook tried to look guilty.

“Did I forgot to tell you? Oh babe, sorry. You can come, right?” Jungkook asks her, before entering the bathroom.

Calli only nods.

“Great. I won’t take long.” And he closes the door and turns the shower on.

Jungkook: She’s mad [received: 18:39 p.m.]

You smile reading that message. It would only take time until Calli called to whoever Jungkook was talking before.

You hear a hunk, and there’s your brother waiting for you. Then an idea comes to your mind.

“Hey, wanna go to a party?” You ask, before even closing the door again.

“Sure. When?”

That same night, you proved you were right. She called you at 1:43 a.m. exactly, and before you realized what was going on and that you didn’t recognize the caller, you already answered, sleepy.

“Who’s there?”

That’s when you look at those strange numbers and your sleepiness is gone.

“You’re the one calling. I should be the one asking”.

“I think I typed the wrong number. I was trying to call my boyfriend”.

“It’s really late, you shouldn’t wake people at this hour. If you don’t work, you should know that I do”.

You should receive another Oscar, not only the one you deserve from the acting at the restaurant.

“Sorry.” You can feel she’s wondering if she can ask something else. “Do you work at Emes Publishing House?”

You wait, trying to seem suspicious.

“Where did you get my number?”

That’s the last you can say before she ends the call. You were so right.

Jungkook: So? [received: 9:07 a.m.]

Y/N: What? [sent: 9:10 a.m. / read: 9:11 a.m.]

Jungkook: Any news? [received: 9:11 a.m.]

Y/N: I was right, of course. She called me two in the morning [sent: 9:12 a.m. / read: 9:12 a.m.]

Jungkook: **laughing faces** [received: 9:12 a.m.]

Jungkook: Can I pick you up today? We can talk about the details after work. [received: 2:56 p.m.]

Y/N: I’ll text you my work’s address. See you later. [sent: 3:02 p.m. / read: -]

Payback - Jungkook | Chapter 8

genre: romance/comedy/friends-to-lovers

Jungkook: Sorry, I didn’t check my phone earlier! [received: 10:38 a.m.]

Jungkook: The party went fine. Better than expected ;) [received: 10:38 a.m.]

Jungkook: I’m still here, helping [received: 10:41 a.m.]

Jungkook: If want, come around and we can have lunch tgt! [received: 10:42 a.m.]

You feel anxious, looking at the yellow house in front of you. The night before was so easy to open and enter, then cause a scene, but right now, with its door wide open, it was hard to take another step.

But you couldn’t really understand why. Your heart was beating so fast in your ribcage, your mouth was dry. Could it be because of Jungkook?

Of course, it was. Why lie to yourself when you couldn’t even lie better?

You wanted to see him. It didn’t matter if it was only to help them cleaning house after that crowded party, you just had this feeling. The feeling you get when you start a romance with someone, the excitement. The cab driver was probably right. You were falling for Jungkook.

That would explain why so many emotions were going thought your heart while waiting outside Jin’s house. Shyness, anxiety, fear, self-consciousness.

And that kiss… How should you act?

“Oh, hey!” Jimin, the guy from yesterday, sees you standing there, like a fool, while he’s taking the garbage bag out. “Y/N, right?”

“That’s right, Jimin.” You give him a smile. Did he see you standing there for so long? You felt yourself blushing.

“You’re coming in?” He passes you, taking the garbage bag to its place, on the sidewalk. You wait for him to come back before answering.

“I guess. Jungkook is busy?”

“As if. He’s lazy and hangover” He shares a big and warm smile. “You came alone?”

You nod and notices the way he’s staring at you.

“I see…”

You start feeling weird with the way he’s looking at you. Almost like judging. You wonder how much he knows and how much he imagines.

“Listen. Yesterday was a mess. We didn’t know Calli was clueless to your…” His hands moved to his hair, he seemed nervous. “If we knew, if Jungkook had only… We wouldn’t have said anything”.

“It’s okay, Jimin. Nothing is wrong. Why are you so upset?”

“Oh. So you’re single too now? I confess I’m kinda relieved. We all are gonna be”.

What.

“I’m not. Why would think that?”

Jimin pauses for a moment. You can see in his forehead how hard he is thinking.

“We thought… Jungkook and Calli are not a thing anymore. We thought it was because of you”.

“They split?” Jimin nods. “Why she broke up with him? Because she was jealous of me?” You wanted to laugh, but it was trouble to your plans.

“Uh. It was the opposite”.

You wait for him to explain. You can sense anger boiling inside of you.

“Jungkook broke up with her. In front of everyone”.

Jimin doesn’t even finish what he was telling you, because you leave him, rushing inside the house.

Jin’s house, without so many people, was beautiful. And wide. Really wide. If you were not in rush, you would’ve a joke and ask if Emes Publishing House was hiring. Or if Jin wanted a girlfriend, you were going to be single soon.

“Excuse me. Do you guys know where is Jungkook?” You ask two boys, cleaning the area around the couch.

“He’s upstairs, with Jin.” Answers the one occupied of taking all the red cups from the floor. They both stare at you. “Ain’t you that girl…” But you don’t stay long enough to hear what they have to say.

When you reach the second floor, you call his name.

“We are here.” You hear Jungkook answering, in the last room of the corridor. Probably Jin’s.

The door was open, and you find them laughing there. Both red from laughing so hard, and still with the same clothes they were wearing the night before.

“He was just telling me what happened yesterday, Y/N! Now I want to hear your part of the after party.” Jin did not realize how mad you were.

“I’ll tell you, Jin. But first, I need to understand why Jungkook broke up with Calli”.

That’s when they realize and the laughs cease in less than an instant.

“Actually, you can tell me later, babe. I think I heard Hoseok calling me downstairs”.

You wait until Jin closes the door, to look back a Jungkook.

“So?”

“What?” He seems innocent like he doesn’t understand why it would be an issue.

“What happened?” You can’t control the tone in your voice, so you almost yell at him.

“Oh. I just told her that if she wanted to leave, she would do that alone. And she left.” He told you, sitting in bed. “We still haven’t talked”.

You finally can breathe properly since you entered that house.

“Thank God. It’s reversible”.

“If you think that I’ll come back with her, you’re absolutely wrong”.

It was too soon to think the trouble was solved. You can’t breathe properly again.

“Excuse me? I thought you agreed with our plan? Why are you backing out now?” You know that your voice sounds high-pitched at this moment and you notice the way he presses his temples. Jimin said he was hungover and you remember how much he was drinking last night. It was pleasuring you that he was like this now.

“You mean your plan? I did all you asked”.

“Not, you did not. I made it clear as crystal that you were not supposed to break up with her yet. You really need to make it up, Jungkook, you still have time. Blame being drunk, I don’t know, just find a way”.

You can hear Jungkook chucking, very low. until he looks at you.

“I’m not changing my mind. If for you it’s okay to stay with an unfaithful person, for me it’s not. I feel disgusted”.

That shocks you. He thought you were okay?

“Of course it’s not. I made it very clear why we are doing this”.

“You did it. Only you. Since you told me the truth, three weeks ago, only now I can think straight and feel good with myself. I’m finally free from this misery”.

“Jungkook, if you didn’t want to be part of the plan, you should have said so”.

“I was curious, about her, the truth, about you and even about Jordan. I wanted to know who was the guy. To know if somehow he was better than me. Guess what, he’s not”.

He laughs, getting up the bed.

“I don’t really understand how that guy has a girlfriend so pretty and even has his side girlfriends. He must be really rich, right?” His hands move to his hair, making it even messier. You stay quiet and shocked at his outburst. “I don’t understand why you both would accept staying with that guy. He’s not even handsome, he’s equipment must be big. Not that you would know”.

He looks straight in your eyes now, and you can see all the anger he was hiding these weeks now. His eyes are furious. More than yours.

“Actually, I understand it all now. Why you’re accepting it”.

“What do you mean?”

“Yeah. Since you’re not having sex with your boyfriend, he needed someone else. Pay attention, that’s the part Calli comes in.” He laughs, humorless while walking around the room. “They have a thing while he waits for you to give in,” He points a finger at you. “his lovely and virginal girlfriend, and while he’s having fun somewhere else. But, are you following my logic here?”

You feel like slapping him, not once or twice, countless times, but you control your hands, wanting to know how far he would go into hurting your feelings.

“Calli was fine with their deal for a while, but then she started feeling lonely. Jordan was not available the whole time, only when he was not with you, or when he wanted sex, so here comes Jungkook. I’m here to not only to cure her loneliness but also make Jordan jealous. Her perfect solution”.

Tears are forming on your eyes, but you hold them. If your heart were not broken because of Jordan, Jungkook would have done it that moment.

You trusted him. That was the reason you felt comfortable enough to tell him something so in intimate of your relationship with Jordan. God, you trusted Jungkook, knowing him just three weeks, more than you had in all your relationship.

The way you felt comfortable around him, you never felt with your boyfriend. With him, you always tried to be perfect, to look pretty and loving, caring. “Good morning, baby. Good night, honey”. While with Jungkook you felt that you were yourself again. Crazy and free. Young. Free to be yourself.

Listening to his harsh words and ridiculous imagination, you realize that you shouldn’t have felt like this. He would use that to attack you the moment he could. He was a man, after all.

“Did you tell Calli something about these weeks?”

“No”.

You look at his eyes, there’s no humor there. You can see he’s just as hurt as you are, but it’s nothing you should care.

“Good.” You turn around, ready to leave that room that suddenly looked so small, suffocating your thoughts, but you still have something to tell him, so you turn around again. “Listen. If you think that not having sex with my boyfriend is an excuse for him to cheat me, or threat doing it, you should be really worried. You’re having sex with Calli, but she still seeks my cheater boyfriend for sex”.

You feel tears rolling down your face when you open the door, only to find standing there at the floor Jin and another boy, really close to the door, listening to your conversation.

Great. It would pain Jungkook even more, his friends knowing that you implied he’s not good in sheets. Whatever.

“Excuse me, please”.

Jin’s eyes were shocked. He was probably expecting cheers and crazy laughs commemorating another step into the plan. Not such a silly fight.

Monday again, almost a month since you started your plan. Just like a flash, your weekend was over. Not a weekend spent pitying yourself like that one almost two months ago, but an empty and boring one.

After those words shared with Jungkook, neither of you exchanged any messages, the same with Jordan. All the messages you received were from friends or your cousin, Kimberly.

This one that you were waiting for this moment, and was really late. She wanted updates too.

“Are you coming soon? My lunchtime will be over”.

“Almost there. You know I don’t really work that close. You should be glad that I’m the one coming”.

You just stood there, sat, with a bored face, looking outside the glass wall of the building you worked. Staring the traffic outside, wondering what was going through everyone’s head. Were they only busy, or sad too? Was someone there really happy? What did they work with?

You notice her, looking and waving at you, outside the building.

“See, I’m here.” She tells you, smiling but out of breath, a few minutes after ending the call.

“Were you running?” You laugh. “Ew, you’re going back to work all sweaty”.

Holding her arm, you start walking around looking for a quick place to eat. You had to be fast, or else you were going to be late and your boss was expecting a very important client in one hour. Your life was a mess, but work couldn’t be.

“Hey, Y/N.” You hear Jungkook calling you when you reach the sidewalk. He’s coming from the opposite side.

“You know him?” Kimberly asks you, while he gets closer.

“He’s the boyfriend of that girl.” He’s close enough to listen. “Sorry, ex-boyfriend”.

Your cousin seems excited to finally meet him. If your tone bothers Jungkook somehow, he does a good job hiding it.

“Lunch time?” She confirms before you can even think of how to escape. “Mind if I join?”

“Actually…”

“Of course not. I was dying to finally meet you. I can’t believe she hid you for so long”.

Not able to deny what she said, you just followed the current and made sure to sit by her side, leaving her to be in front of him. They were the one talking, anyway, and the less you would have to face him, better.

You listen how happily Kimberly talks to Jungkook, about everything that’s related to the plan. Your plan. The plan he said with all words he couldn’t bear any more.

That was so… frustrating.

The whole Sunday you were mad at him, at Jordan, at Calli. Not even Jin, that you met twice, escaped your angriness. But right now, looking at him, happily talking with your cousin, you didn’t feel like that anymore. You felt just like entering the conversation and forgetting all his harsh words.

They were just words, right? He was just as sad as you were. Also, that didn’t really hurt you. You were stronger than that, you knew it wasn’t your fault if they were cheaters. What pained you was that he tried to use them against you.

After finishing her lunch, your cousin had to run or else she would be late for work.

Jungkook followed you while you were heading back to the building you worked at. You sighed. Each step you took, he took too.

“Hey. I’m sorry for what I said”.

“I do not care”.

“But I do. I didn’t mean those words. It’s not your fault. Not mine’s too. I confess I got mad at what you said, but you were right.” He chuckles. You try to not smile. Why is so hard to stay mad at him? “If it’s your fault, then it’s mine too. Mine’s bigger, actually”.

Your face is less angry now, you can feel it and Jungkook seems to notice it too.

“Let me make up to you. For being mean”.

“I don’t think you can do it”.

“After your work. Can I come by?”

“We’ll see, Jungkook. Bye”.

You wave at him and enter the building. You were earlier, still having ten minutes, but you did not want to talk to him. You wanted to keep your first decision, staying strong and showing him he acted wrong.

“Hey, Y/N.” The receptionist waved at you before you could pass your card to enter.

“Hi, Mel!” You got closer.

“Your boyfriend just left. I think if you go outside, you can still catch him”.

“Jordan was here?” You ask her, surprised.

Why would he appear at your work? He used to refuse even picking you up. “I’m busy, honey.” Always too busy for you.

You sigh.

“Yes. He was with a huge pack.” She sounded romantic. “How lucky you…”

“If you think so, you can have Jordan.” You’re not joking, but she doesn’t know and laughs.

“He said that he would come back after your work is over. I’m surprised that you didn’t meet him outside. He really just left”.

Your heartbeat increases, so you look outside to check them. Neither Jungkook nor Jordan are outside. Was there the possibility of one of them seeing each other? Maybe both could have even exchanged looks. You hoped so.

If Jordan saw Jungkook there. That would mean…

That would mean that your plan was still following the right path.

You fight with your bag, trying to find your cellphone, lost inside it. You regret keeping so many papers that people at the street give to you. The moment you find it, you don’t waste time.

She said Jordan would come back, right?

Y/N: I’ll be out of the office a little late today, but if you don’t mind waiting for me… [sent: 12:56 p.m. / read: -]

Y/N: We need to talk. [sent: 12:56 p.m. / read: -]

Continuum - Suho (mafia!au) | Final

genre: drama/angst/romance

summary: Your friend’s wish was for you to find her brother if anything happened to her, so he could take care of her daughter and you, but maybe his surroundings were not the most safe.

“And, the last but not less important. Congratulations to you all. It’s been a long way, you were focused, dedicated and I know it was not easy, but it’s done already. You all did it. Wasn’t it fast?” Your professor pause for a moment, seeming to get emotional. “Congratulations, it was deserved. See you all at the graduation day”.

That’s how your last day at college ended.

Like your professor said, it was not an easy path, you spent too many nights awake, studying for finals, sadly it was not once that you had bad grades. There were times you felt like giving up, like you were not made for this. But you did it. You should be proud of yourself.

It was hard to make friends again, you were the new girl, skipping the first year you already studied, and a couple years older than them, but people became so receptive and it was like you were with them since the beginning.

Back there, you were scared that you were making the wrong choice and would regret it later. It was the very opposite. You were never so happy.

“Hey, Y/N! Were you leaving without us?” Your friend, Gaby, called you when you reached the door.

“Sorry.” You laugh, waiting for them.

“So… What should we to do celebrate before the official one?” Your other friend asks you both.

“Do you have any plans with your boy already?” Gaby asked you.

“Uh, I don’t know yet. I’ll text you later”.

You reached the gate and tell bye to your friends.

You were so glad about your decision. That lead you exactly where you were.

“Auntie!” You feel little arms around your legs and your smile grows bigger.

“Baby. What are you doing here?”

She giggles, not letting you go.

“I came to see you”.

“Should’t you be at school right now?” You look at her, with severe eyes, but a warming smile.

“Daddy said I could skip class today. I’m not lying, auntie.” She looks at you with her big round eyes.

Jude still looks a lot like Junmyeon, just like when she was a baby, but her eyes… They were Chanyeol’s. She was so beautiful, so tall now. Thinking about it brought tears to your eyes. Your baby was so big now. Eight years. So much happened.

“Where’s your ride, Jude?”

You look around, trying to find her uncle.

“Wondering about me? You were so caught up on Jude, I felt a little bit forgotten here.” Junmyeon said, making drama.

Jude laughs at her uncle’s pout.

“What’s the occasion? Why you both came to pick me up? I could meet you at home.”

“What do you mean? Your last day at college is not important enough for you? And to think that I even cancelled a meeting to do this.”

You smile at your boyfriend before kissing him.

“Let’s leave. We need to eat something before I take her back to school.”

“Can we have ice cream and cake later?” Jude asks, jumping inside the car.

“You had sore throat just two days ago.” You remind her.

“Let her do it, just today.” Junmyeon asks you, too.

“Please auntie, I promise I won’t get sick again”.

You laugh, sensing you lost this battle.

“I can ask my dad. He will let me eat ice cream, anyway”.

“She will sleep there, so we can celebrate.” Junmyeon explains to you, and you don’t miss his wink.

Meri couldn’t have choose a better father. Jude and her father got so closer, he even suggested living with her once, but it would be hard with his lifestyle and raising her alone. Kids need attention, sadly, he wasn’t really prepared for that yet.

She lived with Junmyeon and you, and on weekends stayed with him. He were there at every big moment of her life. Of course Jude missed her mother, more than she tells you, but all of you (even Junmyeon’s friends) were there for her.

Junmyeon and you were together. Officially, for years, even introducing parents already happened. You didn’t really think it would work out, what happened before really scared you, but it was all in the past now.

He was not perfect, and it was hard at the beginning, but everything was solved. You both had to give in, adapting yourselves, growing together. Learning with each other.

You were happy. Even your family could notice it.

This was your family.

There was a time you had bad feelings for Meri. It took a while for them to leave your heart, but now you could only be thankful for her. You missed her. A lot. She should be here, raising her daughter, with Chanyeol. Being happy. Doing what she most wanted.

But that’s not something you should focus. What happened, already happened.

Your main focus now was enjoying this happiness the most you could, because you made the right choice.

They were the right choice.

The past boy - Jin (time traveler!au) | Prologue

genre: fluffy/romance/time traveling

summary: when Jin got inside the teleporter Hoseok and Yoongi created, he had no idea it would actually works, and would leads him to a very distant year, in the century you were existing.

chapter 1 | -

Bang!

Jin stopped reading his chemistry notes and rubbed his eyes.

What was Hoseok doing now? He, for sure, was a very noisy neighbor since always, but now that he became friends with Yoongi at college and started studying nuclear physics, things got louder. And more explosive.

Of course that him going to check what was going on out there had more to do with Jin being tired of studying than being worried with his friends, but they didn’t need to know that.

He was almost getting out of his house, when he saw Hoseok standing at his porch, looking anxious, with Yoongi right behind him.

“Jin, dude…” He paused, catching some air. “You need to come with us, check something.”

Grabbing Jin’s arm, he didn’t even wait for his response before pulling him in the path to the garage.

“What noise was that?”

“You gotta see it yourself.” Yoongi answered, and Jin realized that this was the first time he ever saw him looking stun.

Inside the garage, there was a huge box, made of glass and a chair inside it. There were some plugs in it, connecting it to laptops and an industrial fan without its shovel.

“What is going on here?”

“Jin, man, we did it” Yoongi said, looking extremely happy and excited. Jin was getting more preoccupied. Are they insane now?

“We finally build a time machine that actually works.” Hoseok explained, looking hopeful.

Jin froze. And to think that he was taking them seriously…

“That’s so amazing. Why don’t you go to the day of my exam next week, come back and tells me the questions?” He tried to sound serious, but a smile appearing on his beautiful face.

“We are being serious. He traveled, man. I saw him disappearing in the air for like, one minute. I swear to you.” Yoongi said, looking desperate.

“What is going on here? Is this some kind of new prank?” Jin asked himself.

“It seemed like one minute here, but I stayed there for a month. You would never believe what I saw there, who.”

Jin looked at them like they are crazy. They probably were.

“If you don’t believe us, get inside there and you will see. If it doesn't work, I will own you ten favors, without any kind of restriction.” Hoseok said, with weird smile.

That was a weird smile, like the ones we give when we know we’re going to win something. Jin looked at the capsule, or you could call it tele porter, but he would stick with glass box. He walked closer to that thing, feeling determinate.

“I will send you only a week in the future, so you can check that exam you mentioned, and then you will believe us”.

Jin was almost closing the box’s door, when he turned around and told them, clarifying any doubt they could have.

“Don’t think I’m doing this because I believe you two. It’s just that those favors will be useful one day”.

Jin sat on that chair, feeling his stomach twist. What if they were being serious?

“One minute from now.” Yoongi said.

“That noise…”

“It was me. When I got back, that sound was my butt falling on the chair.” He laughed, like that was the funniest story he ever heard.

Jin thought a little about that idea.

“Wait. I’m not saying that this will work, but… If it does, how am I supposed to come back?”

“Don’t worry. Someone is waiting for you there!” Hoseok shouted, before Jin saw everything becoming darkness.

Jin was gone. The place he was before, was now empty. Hoseok and Yoongi were wearing proud smiles. Task done.

“I just don't get one thing.” Yoongi mentioned. “Why didn’t we tell him the truth? That we’re sending him not only a week in the future, but more than one hundred years?”

“He’s not supposed to know anything. Our only task was sending him there. What he’s gonna do, is up to him. He can’t know the history, or it won’t be his choice”.

“Well, we will find out in a few hours. What are we gonna tell his parents if he comes back later than what we thought?” Yoongi asked Hoseok, while they were leaving the garage, knowing Jin wouldn’t be back in a few minutes, like they said.

“I’m being optimistic”.

Payback - Jungkook | Chapter 7

genre: romance/comedy/friends-to-lovers

Calli: Jungkook, where are you? [received: 12:09 a.m.]

Jungkook’s heart was still racing fast when he left the kitchen, a few moments after you. He didn’t know if that was the alcohol speaking, or himself, but he felt the urge to follow you and understand why he felt the need to kiss you so badly. Shit.

He was not attracted to you like this. You were his new friend. Pretty and smelling good, but a friend that had a boyfriend. Well, if the plan was following the right steps, not for too long. And so was he. But he only remembered that because of an angry Calli in front of him. You were gone.

“Where were you, Jungkook?” Her voice sounded annoyed, not trying to hide her feelings. He felt numb seeing her. He really liked her before?

“I was in the kitchen. You just saw me leaving there”.

“Having a beer bath?”

That would be harder to explain.

“What’s wrong?” He tried to change the topic.

“Let’s leave. We need to talk”.

“What?” She tried pushing him, but he stood there, strong like a tree. “But I don’t want to leave, yet”.

Calli’s face at that moment was something Jungkook wanted to take a picture and send to Y/N, priceless. She was disbelieved.

“What do you want to talk about?” He asked, not really interested and sick of her lies, while walking back to his group of friends.

She followed him, getting angrier each step.

“About your friend, to begin it”.

He stopped, thinking of ways to get her angrier.

“Jin?” He wondered, pointing to the mentioned, across the room, not trying to hide their discussion. “What do you want to talk about him?” At that moment, all his friends were paying attention.

“No, Jungkook, not him.” If looks could kill, he would be dead and buried. “I want to talk about the friend you said with all the words you didn’t know.” She whispered.

He didn’t answer her, waiting for Calli to finish whatever she was going to say, before he gave his own check-mate. Crossing his arms, he sighed, waiting for her, not caring if his drink was falling from his cup.

“Even your friends know you’re ‘friends’ with her.” She crossed her arms, too. He almost pitied her sad look. “Let’s leave and discuss this at another place, please”.

“There’s nothing to discuss, Calli. So what if I’m friends with her? I can be friends with who the fuck I want to.” Her face was a pure shock. Jungkook were never this rude to her. “If you want to leave, the door is right there,” He pointed at it. “and you came on your own, you can leave the same way. I’m staying”.

So Jungkook turned and started walking to his group again, that was watching the whole conversation, with their mouth open. Jin was gone now, probably paying attention to his other friends. He would have loved seeing it.

“I think you just lost your girlfriend” Hoseok remarked, watching Calli leaving the party.

Jungkook took a glance and smiled.

“Let’s commemorate, then.” But he’s not happy. Not when he couldn’t talk to you because of Jordan.

“Hey!” You scream, almost falling. “Can you please walk slowly?” You hope on your brother’s arm.

“No, Y/N. Let’s go.” Jordan shouts back, not glancing you.

That was not what you expected. You expected a fight right there at the party, not to tell him you knew what he have been doing -of course-, just… Just not this. For the first time since you started the whole plan, you regretted it.

“Are you okay?” Taehyung asks you when he notices you did not open the car’s door.

“I’m just not sure if I want to get in”.

“You want to go back to the party?” You felt him judging you, so you just smile and deny. The mood of the party was long gone.

“Just get in.” Jordan seems impatient and angry.

It’s not like you were feeling scared of him. Jordan was not the type to be aggressive or lose his temper easy. If you ever felt insecure with him, you wouldn’t think twice. You just felt that it was taking too long. Too much stress, when you could be living freely. The pain could have already left your chest. Was it all really worthing?

If you had ended it sooner, you could be there at the party, finding out if Jungkook is really a good kisser, like he surely seems. But if you had done it, the chances of knowing Jungkook were really small.

You shake your head, trying to erase that thought.

It’s not the time to think about your accomplice and how close his lips were to yours. How hot he felt so close to you. Or even how much you wanted to taste him better than just that touch, long enough to get used to his flavor and need air. How soft his lips were? You would never know since you lost your chance.

Gosh, you were in trouble.

“What’s taking so long?” Jordan asks, leaving the car. His face was red. Oh boy, he was angry.

“I don’t want to go with you.” You whisper, before realizing. “I mean. You’re angry, I have no idea why…“ You lie, and you’re sure your brother knows that. Even Jordan probably knows that.

“Ah, you have no idea?” He laughs, ironically. “Well, maybe because suddenly I’m the clown of the party, is that enough for you? Was that the reason for forcing me to come to this shitty party, Y/N?”

“Jordan, babe, can we talk about it tomorrow? You’re angry and I don’t want you to take any precipitate action”.

“Precipitated action? What do you think I’m gonna do?”

“Honey. Please. Let’s talk when we are both calm”.

Jordan entered his car and left without any word to Taehyung or you. Stick to the plan, Y/N, not the time to give up.

Walking back to the party to wait for a cab at a place with more “security”, there’s a silence between your brother and you that’s unbearable. Worse than having to deal with all the mess you created.

“Aren’t you gonna ask me anything?” You break the silence, already in the cab. “Just please, talk to me”.

“I know what I saw today. And last week. There’s nothing to explain.” Taehyung doesn’t look into your eyes.

“It’s not what you think. I know it sounds cliche, but this time it really is not what you’re thinking”.

“We can talk about it later, Y/N.” He mentions, looking at the driver.

You wanted to listen to what he said, but the truth was that it didn’t matter if he was paying attention, all that matter was what your brother was thinking about you.

“I first met him almost three weeks ago.” You look at Taehyung, but he’s still not looking at you. “Jungkook, I mean. And that girl at the party, her name is Calli. She’s dating Jungkook”.

That got Taehyung’s attention.

“She was one of Jordan’s clients. Let’s just sum up and say that they did not keep the professionalism”.

“Why did…” You raise your hand, asking him to wait.

“I wanted to try them, so I asked for Jungkook’s help. And also because he deserved to know what was happening”.

“That’s why you’re seeing Jungkook? You’re cheating Jordan because he cheated you?” You didn’t feel him judging you this time, but trying to understand.

“I’m not cheating Jordan. I can’t deny that I’m feeling attracted to Jungkook, but it was never part of the plan”.

“What was it? Expose them?”

“Not publicly.” You shrug. “Just make them a little paranoid. Wondering what is happening. Talking about it now, it sounds silly, but I wanted them to wonder if they were being cheated until they realize”.

He stays silent for a moment, thinking about all the leads he caught these weeks, all the information you just gave him.

Jordan was cheating on his sister. And he had the courage to just talk normally with them, not ashamed of his own actions. Taehyung decided that he approved her plan.

“So that scene in the kitchen… Jordan was supposed to see it?”

“No. That wasn’t even supposed to happen. He was drunk, the music was beating loud, it was just the moment. And I already feel single, so I didn’t think about it”.

“I guess you like him”.

“No, I don’t. It’s too soon to like someone I barely know”.

“May I tell you something?” The cab driver asked, and that made you realize that you were not alone with your brother and going back home. “It’s never too soon to like someone. You can take years to fall for someone that is right by your side, the same way that you could take only a minute”.

You start to think about what he said when you see the familiar houses that were in your neighborhood. You were so confused.

“Thanks for your advice.” You smile at the guy, after paying him.

“Hey, miss.” He calls you when you were almost reaching the door. “Enjoy your revenge”.

You smile, watching the car leaving your front door. Even a stranger supported your idea.

“By the way, that guy… He was so drunk that he could have said something wrong and ruin your plan”.

“Jin? He was not that drunk”.

“Wait. He was part of it?” Taehyung seemed shocked, you just smile. “Oh my God. We were completely fooled”.

He opens the door and you both enter, quietly to not wake up your parents.

“Wait a second. Does it mean that Jimin was part of it, too?” He looked even more shocked. “He was lying when he told me to call him Monday to talk about my photos?”

Was it the thing Jungkook once mentioned?

“Tae, I’m not sure if he knew something, but I don’t think he was lying. Why would he?”

You enter your room, after saying goodnight to your brother, and wondering what was happening at the party. Did Calli and Jungkook enter a discussion? Did Jordan get okay at his home?

Y/N: Hey, how’s the party? [sent:-]

You felt insecure of sending it. What if the friendship you both had developed these weeks were now ruined after almost kissing? Thinking about it, you hit send by accident and you can’t help groan really loud.

If you delete the message, he would still know you sent something.

Just let it be. There’s nothing wrong at that message.

With that in mind, you lay in your bed, ready to sleep.
