Chapter 51

He starts to remove his coat, vest then his polo which made me go into panic mode.

“W-What the fuck?? I knew you’re a creep-”

“You have to calm down,” he laughed, “use my polo, you’re drenched.” As he finished that sentence, his bare upper body captured my eyes.

Shit. I looked away. Tattoos everywhere on his arm.

He hands me the polo. I took it hesitantly. Now I’m embarrassed. 

Without looking at him, I went inside the restroom.

I looked down on myself after wearing his polo.. why do I look like I just had sex from a korean drama clip.

Kind of big on me, but I’m not wet anymore so it’ll have to do.

I came out, still avoiding his eyes.

I internally sighed, “I’m sorry for what I said earlier..” I slowly tried to look at him and his eyes were too busy feasting on his polo being worn by me.

“You’re cuter when you wear my shirt.” He smirked, making me blush.

“C-Can we just eat.” Did I just stutter?? I never stutter!

“Sure.” I heard him chuckle. I followed him from behind and I noticed he still wore his vest and coat without the polo.

We entered from this door and right inside was a well lit room with a single round table in the middle of it. 

I followed him until he pulled a chair and looked at me.

I sat quietly as he scooted the chair for me then he sat on his.

“Is it better that you wore my shirt? I could go run to a mall and buy you one if you’re uncomfortable.” 

He’d do that?

I guess it’s different if you’re rich.

“Y/n, are you okay? You seem to space out, can you tell me what was troubling you tonight? It’s fine if you don’t like to.” 

Should.. I?

“Just.. my aunt died.” 

His expression softened. “Condolences to you and your family.. what caused it?” 

“A thief stabbed her and stole her purse.” 

“Did they catch it?” 

“No, it ran off as her maid said.” 

“I’ll handle it.” 

“Handle what?” 

“I’ll look for the guy, it’s the least I could do to have her soul rest and for you.” 

“You’d.. do that?” 

“Mhmm.” He gave a soft smile and just then, food came in. 

As we ate, he asked for more information.

–

“You shouldn’t invest in me..” I spoke in the middle of eating. “I’m not rich like you, I’m poor, me and Haniya always need to work to have food on the table.” 

He laid his spoon down and smiled, “I don’t see that as a problem, and I didn’t grow up rich, me and my twin worked together to get to where we are now.” He smiled again.

“Oh..” is all I could say. 

“You think if you said that, I’d lose interest in you?”

“I’m a burden, I’m not exactly what you think I may be-”

“No, no. Please stop there, I don’t view you or anyone else that way. There’s no receipts that need to be kept now or in the future. Just, enjoy things with me.” 

“You said I’m familiar, earlier. Where?” 

“That’s the thing, I don’t know. You sure you haven’t seen me before?” 

“No.. and what was I doing that you had to say that I’m your wife back then?” 

“Oh haha, you felt like one. Just, I feel like my mind stills if I see you.” 

“Just that and I’m your wife??” I got flustered.

He laughed at me, “You’re just very familiar to me.” 

“Maybe it’s a different woman.” 

“No haha.. you’re different from the rest.”

“Hm.” I sucked my lips inward.

Our encounter is odd, I guess.

–

I got out of the car and so did he. He stood in front of me and I awkwardly didn't know what to say.

“Uh.. thank you for tonight.. and this polo, I’ll return it after I wash it.” I feel embarrassed.

“Keep it, here’s my number for when you need me.” 

I looked at him, I wanted to reject it but I remembered he’d work on my aunt’s case. He didn’t tell me how but he looks confident after knowing where it took place.

I took the piece of paper and thanked him. 

He smiled and walked back to his car. He honked twice before finally leaving and I went inside.

“Hey, what took you- what the fuck??” Haniya’s eyes wanted to fall off. 

“Who’s polo is this?? Did you fuck someone?? What the hell Y/n? You made me wait all alone for some dick?-”

“Hell no?! Would you listen to me first??” 

–

“So? What is it? Why can’t you talk?” Haniya is getting impatient.

“It’s.. the guy..”

“NO. FUCKING. WAY. Did you two fuck!?-”

“No!! What’s with you and fucking?!” 

“Then why are you wearing his polo shirt, woman?!”

“Why are you shouting at me??”

“You’re shouting?!”

I sighed, getting tired, “my aunt died.. that’s why I texted you the first time, then he came out of the blue.” I told her the whole story and after that, she was giggling again.

“You said he has a twin right?? Is that one single?” 

I rolled my eyes, “you’re ignoring the fact that my aunt died.” 

“Oh right, I’m sorry for your loss.” Now she’s sad. She’s like a puppy, really. She gave me a tight hug.

–

Seems to be a month or so after and he would freely visit outside our apartment. Just.. literally on our doorstep. We aren’t keeping him out but he insists not to take a step.

He would either bring groceries, gifts, flowers or take me out on a walk in a park. Wow I sounded like a dog.

“I’ll be back, Haniya.” 

“Sure~ or you could just, you know, come back tomorrow morning?” She winked at me and I rolled my eyes while I heard Jungkook chuckle.

I shut the door and sighed.

“Wouldn’t be bad to do so.” Jungkook shrugs while I narrow my eyes at him. 

“Hey, Haniya said it, not me.” His hands are up in the air.

“So.. where are we going now?” 

“To go buy an ice cream in a convenience store and sit by the park while you tell me if you’re finally letting me court you.” He gave a smirk.

“Wooow.” I said, unimpressed.

He laughed while we walked to the nearest store.

–

I picked the melon ice cream and so did he.
