Lure and Eros /BTS FF

Chapter 16

Once outside, because of the silence that dominated the place and the echo that resonated between the walls made by rocks, he so happened to hear Terra's name being mentioned by Veta and that sure, got his attention.

"It was just a kiss. It happened only once. I am not cheating on Taehyung!" Terra uttered in despair as she didn't like the way Veta referred to her actions as a betrayal. It was just a minor mistep that she had been trying hard for quite some time not to make. She was just human after all, anyone could have made a mistake.

Cheating?...what?

Jungkook's curiosity grew instantly upon hearing that word despite the fact that earlier he had kept going on his way, having no intention to halt and approach more to overhear them better, but after listening to that, his body acted on its own, getting him at a closer distance than he was prior.

"If you are not then why are you at my doorstep trying to convince me for the opposite at six o clock in the morning?" Veta's simple question left Terra momentarily speechless for she had so simply seen right through her. Someone that had nothing to hide, would not go to such an extent to keep someone silent.

"I am sorry...I...really don't want to hurt anyone's feelings...I just...I have something to confess." Terra admitted her head low as she had accepted that she should be truthful with her if she ever wanted her to take some sympathy on her.

"I am not a priest hence I can not accept you to the confession room and listen to you under the oath of privacy. However if you trust me as an individual and still want to speak the truth before the lord, you are free to follow me."Veta made some way for her as she spoke and Terra looked at her for a moment before she stepped in, Veta closing the gate behind her.

As Veta turned around and proceeded to show her towards the praying room, she noticed from the corner of her eyes, a strand of hair slipping behind a corner of a wall and she instantly cursed on the inside, understanding that Jungkook must have not left yet the premises. She remained calm and collected, however, knowing that once Terra will be with her inside the praying room, he could leave easily without fear of being seen by her.

He had no plans on leaving, however, not until he was to hear all he needed at least, so once the two ladies were out of sight, Jungkook skillfully and carefully made his way closer to the nearest window.

He observed them as they bowed their head and took their seats on the wooden stools that existed in the room, full rows that used to be occupied by believers, especially on Sunday mornings, but now that the main priest who was in charge of the monastery was gone due to health issues, there were not kept any mass services for quite a while.

"You are right sister Veta...I have sinned." Terra focused her gaze on her lap as she squeezed her hands together admitting to her mistake for what it was. "It's been a while now actually, that I have been...but not in the way that you think. I and Namjoon really had not done anything anytime before last night when you saw us. I swear."

The mentioning of his brother's name had Jungkook's eyes instantly grow wide and visible shock took over his face as he definitely was not expecting to hear such a thing. He didn't have Namjoon capable to do such a thing to their cousin, Taehyung prior to this moment.

"He was drunk and I just passed by and noticed him. I wasn't trying anything weird, just to take him home safely, but then...he started being a bit tempting and...he kissed me and...I was too weak to refuse because I..."Terra kept pushing herself to get all this out of her chest for it was something that she had tried for a while not that it didn't even exist. Saying it out loud was certainly not easy for it tough her things about her own self that she didn't like.

"You what." Veta urged her to speak lightly, with an uninterested tone of voice despite the fact that this was not how she was really feeling. Because truth had been that from the moment that she witnessed Namjoon and Terra making out, she had grown quite annoyed with him.

He had been eyeing her for so long and she was certain that he had an interest in her yet apparently he is just a player that plays around with everyone the same way. It was not something she had not thought of as a possibility yet the fact that Namjoon could have ever thought that he could play her for an idiot had kinda made her feel offended.

"It's been a while now that I think, I have been looking at Namjoon in a way I shouldn't. But I thought this desire would go away if I just ignored it for long enough. I swear I was never going to initiate anything. It wasn't that much of a crime if I was to just admire his physic from time to time, just like you look at someone over a magazine page. No big deal right? But, then yesterday, he kissed me and I...I have been feeling so bad about it. I don't even know how will I face Taehyung now. Please, please help my save my engagement. I swear I love Taehyung. It was just a mistake and I got carried away." Terra ended up holding Veta's hand as tightly as she could in despair while tears started streaming down her cheeks.

"Me keeping quiet won't really solve your issue, however, if that is what you need for the moment, I think I can do as much for you, under one condition only," Veta uttered as her eyes were looking ahead instead of her, observing the way Jungkook picked his head at the window briefly and then made eye contact with her right before he hid again.

"Anything, I will do anything. Just tell me." Terra agreed just as Veta was expecting and only then did she smile at her and placed a hand over her head, endearingly and comfortingly.

"From now on, you have nothing to worry about, I will solve this one for you. All you have to do is act according to what I am about to tell you. Okay?"

"I promise, I will follow whatever you say."

"Marvellous."
