Jimin's POV
We lost Eye Candy and I am to blame.
Taehyung and I have been searching for that girl for what it seems to be like an hour now and she's nowhere to be found. I was looking for her at the reception area, the restrooms and the Empire' perimeter and nothing. Ever since we exited our suite she vanished. Part of me was aggravated at Taehyung for losing her in the commotion but I was at fault as well since all I did was storm outside without a care in the world. I just hope she's safe wherever she's at. I bet she's upset at our recklessness and I don't even blame her for it. We requested her services and she showed up despite the fact that she was uncomfortable. We were responsible for her safety and she didn't deserve this abandonment. I really feel the need to apologize for my behavior.
My phone suddenly rings in my pocket interrupting my thoughts and the guilt that suppresses me. It's Taehyung.
"I can't find her." He says when I pick up. "I searched everywhere."
"Same here." I mutter. "This is my fault man."
"Well it takes two." Taehyung says. "I lost her in the hallway. But you did kind of dash out of the suite like a pussy."
"Fuck off." I snap and he laughs. To be honest, I wasn't scared. I was more in the heat of the moment and I was kind of upset when the fire alarm went off interrupting our little moment in the suite.
"Whatever man let's just go." Taehyung says. "I have classes early tomorrow."
"Yeah, so do I."
When I hang up, I take the elevator and head upstairs to the suite. I use the key card to open the door only to find Taehyung finishing off the last of the Chardonnay.
"I feel bad that we abandoned her." Taehyung tells me as soon as he sees me. "I should have been more careful with her during the whole commotion."
"Yeah, and it was a false alarm." I huff.
"I'm thinking of going to see her sometime soon." My friend starts. "To apologize and all. She didn't deserve that treatment."
"Yeah," I breathe. "so will I." It was the moral thing to do.
Taehyung rushes to the bathroom as he says "I wanna take a piss before we go. Had too much wine. "
I nod at him as he excuses himself, my eyes fixating on a shiny object on the floor, a few steps away from the bed. It has a peach colored tube and a shiny cap. Why does this look so familiar...
Then it hits me.
The hairs on my neck raise as realization rains down upon me. Could it be her? The very color of the lip gloss, the brand, the packaging-I bought this as a present for Elena's birthday! I examine the contents of the tube and it has been used halfway already. Elena has been using this product almost everyday at uni. The more I think of Elena the more I can see the resemblance on Eye Candy. The shared the exact same eye shape, button nose and luscious lips. I can't believe I got deceived by the pink wig and the fake contacts. My eyes widen like plates as I finally realized what was going on. The woman Taehyung and I invited to spend the night with us was Elena. The same Elena I was hanging out at uni, the girl I've been obsessing over lately. The same girl who canceled on me today.
I can't believe it!
Who knew Elena Thorne had it in her?
Now that I optained her skeleton in her cupboard... do I confront her or do I take it to the grave? I wonder who else knows about her dirty little secret other than me. There is a slight possibility that Yoongi knows because they are thick as theives. Come to think about it I could use this as an advantage. Eye Candy-Elena could easily submit to me if I held her precious little secret over her head. But no-I can't blackmail her. It would be the same as raping her. She would hate me and this particular subject is delicate. I need to ease her into the subject with caution.
The sound of the toilet flushing echoes and Taehyung appears. He breathes out relieved and I look at him.
"Alright buddy let's go." He says.
I quickly shove the lip gloss in my pocket and Taehyung glances at me. He throws his car keys at me and I grab them as they fly at me.
"You drive."
So what happened today is that Elena canceled on our arrangement only to spend the night with me in her other secret life she's living.
Life really is a circle. If tonight doesn't prove that Elena and I are meant for each other I don't know what the fuck will.
Elena's POV
It doesn't take me long to find a pharmacy in the area since the closest pharmacy is only several blocks away from the Empire Hotel. As soon as I purchase some painkillers and the hangover meds I make my way back to the hotel and from what it seems the commotion Jungkook created had already died down by the time I return. Taking the elevator I go to the fourth floor first to make sure that Jimin and Taehyung were alright but when I knocked there was no response. Assuming that the two males left I decide to go upstairs to Jungkook's suite. Using the key card I finally go in only to find Jungkook sleeping peacefully on an armchair near the ceiling high windows. The windows face the front side of the hotel and seeing that his neck was tilted sideways makes me smile at the thought of him watching me from up here.
I place the medicine on the coffee table and take a seat on the other armchair adjacent from his. Removing my converses I lay my head on my arm and I finally relax as I see the sweetest tired pout formed on his lips. From his posture I can tell that the next morning he will wake up with cramps all over his body so I get up and carefully remove his footwear and gently cup his face lifting it a little so that I can place a pillow underneath. Now that he in a better sleeping position I go to my armchair when I feel a firm grip tugging at my arm. Jungkook stirs a little in his seat as his eyes flutter open.
"Thank you," he says in a husky tone.
At this moment I am surprised at myself for being concerned about my abuser.
"You're welcome." I mutter, his hand letting ahold of my arm. He then intertwines his fingers with mine and pulls me down abruptly to sit on his lap. "Jungkook I-"
"I'm sorry." He says in a serious manner and my eyes widen like plates. "I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I was an asshole to say the least. I just-I don't know how to act around you. I want to treat you right it's just-I don't know what I feel."
That explains everything. "Jungkook, if you're not sure how you feel it proves that we can't have anything to do with each other. We're just not fit together. We're toxic. At least you're making an effort to apologize now and I... I appreciate it."
"No, it's not that. I know what I feel I just... I can't voice it." Jungkook mutters. "You make me crazy. When I'm with you I want to be with you all day and when you leave I want you to stay so bad."
I stare at him in awe. Does that mean... That he likes me?
"I know that I'm bad at expressing myself and I know that my ways of doing that are twisted but I want you to know that my feelings for you are intense." He says. "And I don't want you to give up on me."
"But... I don't know if I can trust you." I mumble.
"I'll give you time to think about it." He says and I flash him a narrow look. "You can come talk to me about it whenever you want. I'll wait for you."
"Okay," I say.
"But during that time I don't want you to avoid me. I want to be able to hang out with you if possible." Jungkook requests shyly and I grin to myself.
"Deal."
"You can remove your wig now if you want. It must be uncomfortable wearing it for so many hours. " Jungkook tells me and I can't help but smile at his cute attitude right now. I pull of the pink bob and the skin colored cap setting my natural dark curls free. Jungkook is staring at me and I look at him.
"What?" I ask the ends of my mouth tilting up on their own accord.
"Nothing, I just like looking at you."
The duality of this man drives me insane. The sudden change of his personality from the arrogant bastard to the straightforward cute guy is like a breath of fresh air.
"You know," I start. "I thought you'd be mad at me." I say and Jungkook tilts his neck to face me better.
"I have to admit I am not satisfied with what I saw earlier." He says.
"To be honest I thought you'd try stop me or something." I mutter. "Also your reaction right now is kind of unexpected. In a good way, I mean."
"If I hadn't fucked up you'd be across my lap right now." Jungkook says calmly, his dark orbs piercing through mine as I gasp.
"But we didn't even do anything." I confess.
"You would have had sex with them if I didn't get drunk and press the fire alarm." Jungkook counters and I sigh in defeat.
"Right."
"Do you regret it? Not doing anything with them?"
I glance at him and then look down at the floor. "No, I guess I don't." I mumble before looking back at him.
His liquid black eyes shine under the dimmed lighting as a relieved smile lingers on his features.
Silence prevails for several minutes that feel like hours. I shift in the armchair awkwardly and distract myself by looking out the window while Jungkook is focusing on me. His piercing gaze is making me slightly uncomfortable in a platonic manner instead of a violating kind of way. My stomach grumbles and I clutch my stomach anxiously not daring to face Jungkook when he chuckles, shattering the inflictive silence.
"Let's order in." He suggests grinning at me.
"Why?" I inquire feigning innocence and he laughs to himself as if he's enjoying some kind of private joke.
"What do you think about Chinese? Or burgers?" He asks ignoring my question. "I'd call room service but they're out of order at this hour."
"I think it's kind of late for that." I say. In all actuality I'm craving something sweet. "I can't eat actual food at night. It makes me feel bloated." Okay, maybe that was too much information.
"What would you like then Eye Candy?" He asks.
I smirk before saying "I want candy. Gummy Bears" he grins and lifts his weight from the armchair "but I'm tired." I pout.
Jungkook chuckles. "Tell you what, we'll grab you your Gummy Bears first thing tomorrow. But right now we should really go to sleep." He's so... kind and gentle. I like this side of him.
"Okay," I say, the corners of my mouth tilting up into a playful grin.
Jungkook sits himself back onto the armchair and looks at me weirdly.
"You can take the bed you know." He says.
"Nah, it's not fair to you." I reply. "And I'm not asking you to share the bed because I still don't trust you."
"Then just sleep on the bed by yourself." Jungkook says.
"Not gonna happen."
He rolls his eyes in defeat and shifts in his seat. "Suit yourself, you're gonna wake up with muscle pain in the morning and I'm not even going to be the cause of it."
I grab the pillow and toss it on his face as he positions his head on the leather arm.
"Shut up" I giggle and he breathes out a laugh.
"Goodnight Eye Candy."
"Night Kookie."
"Kookie?" Jungkook pipes amused at the new nickname.
I turn my back against him in response, burying my face in my palms embarrassed then close my eyes to the sound of the silence that envelopes us slightly after.
