The Fake Boyfriend

TFB - 38

"Jungkook?"

He glanced at his side and surprise written all over his face. "Gayeon-ssi. What are you doing here?"

"Can I take a seat?" Gayeon asked, pointing at the chair beside him.

"Sure."

Gayeon quickly settle at the chair.

"I'm surprise to see you here." Jungkook said after recovering from his initial shock.

Gayeon smile sweetly at Jungkook. "Me and my groupmates were invited."

Jungkook nods in understading.

"By the way, congratulations on your first Paris fashion week. You rocked the runway, as expected."

"Thanks." He simply answer before diverting his eyes from Gayeon.

"I was there at the fashion week." She informed him.

"Ahhh..." he uninterestedly answer.

Gayeon frowns seeing how Jungkook looks so uninterested at her. How can you not be interested at me? I'm like one of the top beautiful woman in Korea, duh?

"So, uhm, how are you and your uhm...girlfriend?"

"We're doing good. And actually," he glanced at her before continuing. "we're engage. I asked her to marry me while we were in Paris."

Gayeon's eyes widen like a saucer. "E-engage? You....you proposed to her?"

Jungkook proudly smiles. "Yes."

Engage? He's engage to that woman? How come I didn't know about it? Oh gosh! This is not happening! They can't be engage. He can't be engage with that woman. He can't. You're mine Jungkook. You're mine. Urgh!!! I'm going to ruin your relationship and you'll see that you trully belongs to me, not with her!

"Wow! Look at those stars oppa. They are so beautiful." Jisoo exclaims as she looked at the starry sky.

"It is." But you are more beautiful. Especially your eyes. The way they shine, it put those gorgeous stars to shame at night. He said inside his mind as he stares at the beauty that the woman beside him possessed.

Jisoo is indeed beautiful. And the way the moonlight hits her delicate face makes her so ethereal. So unreal. She look so divine like a beautiful fairy.

"You done staring?"

Taehyung was pulled back from his rail of thoughts when he heard her husky yet silky voice and his eyes widen when he realized that Jisoo is now directly looking at him with a smirk.

Oh shoot! She caught me staring at her.

He clears his throat and looked forward, avoiding Jisoo's amused face. "W-well, I can't help it. You are so beautiful that you made me stare at you." He honestly said.

Jisoo's cheeks immediately heats up hearing Taehyung's honest words. Geez! This man never really change. He's still a straightforward man.

"Well, uhm, tell me what have you been doing for the past years that you're gone." She said, changing the topic so that the awkwardness between them disperse.

"What I've been doing? Uhm, let's see?" He lean on the bench and looked up the starry nights before telling her of the things that he's been upto during the years that they were separated from each other.

"Well, I went to LA. A friend of mine helped me to get a job there. I was a company driver. Then, I was scouted as a model."

"You were a model?" She asked surprise. She didn't know that.

Taehyung chuckles at her surprised response. "Yeah. Surprising, isn't it?"

She nods in agreement.

"Well, I was a model. I've been a model for several brands. Aside from modelling, I still continue being a tattoo artist. I've been a tattoo artist of many hollywood celebrities even some of the riches people in America and other countries became my client."

"Wow! You really did succeed."

"I have to, so that I can make our dreams come true. And that I'll be able to be a man worthy of you." He said as he looked at her.

Jisoo was speechless hearing Taehyung last sentence. Seeing the love and sadness in his brown eyes, makes her heart hurt and it bring tears to her eyes. She wanted to erase the sadness in his eyes but she doesn't know how.

"Shhh...don't cry."

She flinch when she felt Taehyung's warm palms in her face, wiping her tears from her eyes.

"Please don't cry, my Princess Chu. I am not worthy of your tears." He said with an equally sad voice that made her cry more.

"Why oppa? Why did you leave? We were so happy and in love. Why did you left me, oppa? Why did you disappear? Don't you love me anymore?" She asked in between her cries.

Taehyung shook his head. "I never stop loving you, Chu. I never did. Until this very moment, I still love you so much."

"Then why? Why did you left me? Tell me, oppa. Tell me!"

Taehyung pull his hands away from Jisoo's face and comb his hair with his fingers, frustratingly. "I can't Jisoo. I can't tell you. Please don't push me to tell you."

"Why? Why can't you tell me? I have the right to know!" Her voice raised from anger. "Why can't you just tell me?"

Tehyung stood up, frustrated. "Stop, Jisoo. Please stop." He begs. He doesn't want to tell her because it'll only hurt her.

Jisoo stop up as well and grip Taehyung's arm firmly. "No! You can't runaway from this forever. Why can't you just tell me oppa?!"

"Because you'll end up hating the people you love!" He burtst out, breath heavy and Jisoo was stunned by his outburts. "I'd rather you hating me than them. So please, just, please Chu. I don't want you to get hurt." Taehyung continue with pleading voice.

"Do you think you're not hurting me by keeping it from me? You promised oppa. You promised to tell me."

"I know. But it'll only hurt you more if you know the truth. I'm sorry but I rather not tell you." He said before turning his back and walk away.

"Oppa..." more tears fell down from her eyes as she watch Taehyung's retrieving back moving far away from her.

Oppa, why won't you tell me? Who are you protecting? And who are they whom I'll end up hating? Oppa, what really happen? And what's reason of your absence?
