KIM'S RESIDENCE***
Hyeonji came out of her room and ascended the staircase. It's the weekend so she didn't go to school.
She got to the parlor and she met her Mom sitting on the floor with different bottles littering on the ground. The sight didn't surprise her at all.
That was how her mother had been since her Dad died three years ago. She suddenly became a drunker and she blames her every time for her Dad's death.
"Are you seriously going to be acting this way?" She asked.
Mrs. Kim stared at her drunkenly.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Are you the cleaner?" She asked again.
Tears filled Hyeonji's eyes watching her mother this way.
"Mom!" She screamed.
"Oh.... You're that bastard that killed my husband" Mrs. Kim laughed drunkenly.
She got to her feet and staggered to Hyeonji. She pushed her to the floor roughly and grabbed her cloth.
"Bring my husband back, you bastard! Bring my husband back!" She screamed.
"Mom," Hyeonji whispered in tears.
Mrs. Kim slapped her.
"Don't call me that! Don't you ever call me that!" She shouted.
She crawled to where the alcohol was and drank it from the bottle.
"Stay away from me or else I'm going to kill you" Mrs. Kim warned.
She stood up and mistakenly kicked a bottle, the bottle fell and broke into pieces.
She ignored what happened and staggered to her room.
Hyeonji wiped her tears with her hand and walked to where the bottles are. She began packing the broken pieces.
"Ahhh!!" A small scream left her lips when a piece pierced her hand.
She sat on the floor as tears cascaded down her cheeks. This was her life ever since her Dad left the world.
Sometimes her Mom always beat her up, blaming her for her husband's death.
This was one of the reasons why she became Wang's girlfriend. To have someone who loves and makes her forget her pains.
But things were only getting worse for her.
"I hate my life!" She whimpered.

ITALY~ A RESORT***
"Here's your room, sir," an attendant said to Jay and Hwasa.
They entered the room and their luggages was packed to the side.
"Enjoy your stay" the attendant said before exiting the room.
Jay checked his wristwatch.
"This is just 4pm, just a few hours left" he muttered.
"What do you intend to do now?" Hwasa asked.
"What do you mean? I'm f**king getting my company back to its place and Jungkook should be ready for me. I ain't gonna leave him alone" Jay said.
"You don't have to stress yourself over him, I trust you're gonna do better" she said and hugged him from the back.
"I know"
"Baby, I need some money. I need the clothes I'm gonna wear tonight online. I wanna look extraordinary for you" she smiled.
"Sure, I'll send some money to you"
"Thank you baby. I love you" she muttered.
This was the reason why she's with him, to exhaust his money and then move to another man.

"Tell Jimin to come over," Mr. Jeon said.
Jimin stared at Jungkook in shock.
"What do we do?" He whispered.
"Seriously Dad? You really think I'm gonna leave Jimin behind??" Jungkook scoffed.
"You took him along with you?" Mr. Jeon asked in surprise.
"Of course. I'm attending a gala tonight and I need to bring my man along. Were you expecting me to bring someone else along?"
"Oh, I didn't know about that. Make sure he visits once he's back again, okay?"
"Fine" Jungkook muttered and the call got disconnected.
He faced Jimin.
"I did good, right?" He smiled.
Jimin rolled his eyes.
"You mentioned attending a gala tonight, is that true?" He asked.
He nodded.
"Yes. And you'll be my man,,, for tonight" he muttered.
"That's a joke, right?" Jimin laughed shortly.
"Does that sound like a joke to you?"
"You didn't even tell me about this before"
"Because I know you were going to reject it, I had no choice," he said.
Jimin sighs. He was right, he would have rejected it without a rethink.
"So, you'll be my man for tonight"
"I wasn't prepared for this so I did not bring a suitable dress along" he muttered.
"Don't worry, I got you covered. If you're nervous, just stay by my side throughout, okay?"
He nodded.
He glanced at his clothes.
"Put on your clothes before you catch the flu," he said.
"Or, should I put it on for you?" He asked naughtily.
"Get lost," Jimin laughed softly.
Jungkook held his hands on the bed.
"I love this side of you better, please keep being this way.... For me. You can break other men's head but not mine" he said
Jimin laughed.
"I have something to tell you tonight Jimin. When we're back from the Gala, I have to tell you something" Jungkook said.
Jimin stared at him wondering what he wanted to tell him for his expression to change so drastically.
"I'll send someone over to you. You can get dressed, I'll be outside" Jungkook said.
He went out of the room and Jimin suddenly grew bored.
He was already getting used to his presence, there's no doubt about that.
***
FEW HOURS LATER***
Jimin tossed over the bed for the umpteenth time. Jungkook was not yet back and he was almost dying of boredom.
"Did he really have to take this long?" He wondered.
He took his phone and got down from the bed.
He made his way outside the room and he found two of Jungkook's bodyguards guarding the door.
"Mr, Boss said you shouldn't go anywhere," one of them said.
Jimin frowned. Are they kidding him right now?
"Jungkook did?"
They nodded.
"Well, he can't tell me that. I need to take a stroll, I'm so bored right now" he said.
"But..."
"You can come along if you want but I'm never going inside" Jimin said and walked away.
The guys stared at themselves before going after him.
"Where the hell is he?" Jimin wondered as he took a look around the hotel.
He sighted him just when he got to the reception. He was on a call.
He was about to walk closer to him when he saw a girl with him. He didn't even noticed her earlier
"Who the hell is she?" Jimin frowned.
He saw Jungkook placing his phone in his pocket before facing the lady.
"So, he left me for her?" He scoffed.
His eyes widened when he saw them hugging each other.
The lady pecked his cheek and that was it. He lost his cool.
He marched towards them in anger.
He pushed the lady away from Jungkook roughly before landing a slap on his face.
"Stay away from my man!" He shot, giving the lady an angry look.
"Your.... Your man?" The lady stuttered, staring at Jungkook.
"Yes, so f**k off!" Jimin glared.
Jungkook stood there, watching the scene unfolding with an amusing smile on his lips.
"And you! How could you hug a woman? You left me in the room just to meet a woman outside! Was that the reason why you asked your guards to make sure I don't leave the room?! Is that the kind of person you are?!" He shouted angrily at Jungkook.
"That's because this woman is my cousin," Jungkook said.
Jimin's face fell.
"Wh..wh.. what?"
"She's my cousin, Jimin," he repeated.
Jimin stared at Jungkook before looking at the lady he just slapped.
"Oh ground... Just open up and swallow me" his mind screamed.
He has never felt embarrassed like this.
Worst still, Jungkook was staring at him with an annoying smirk on his lips.
