Eun Ae got ready as soon as she received a text message from Jimin saying that he will be coming to pick her.

She wore a simple blue dress which was not so short nor too long just a perfect attire for shopping. She was never a type of girl who would carry extremely heavy accessories and branded stuffs. Beauty in simplicity was the thing she always believed in.

She grabbed her sling bag before walking out of her room only to spot Jungkook who was standing at the entrance of his room, it was a mere coincidence that they both walked out at the same time. Jungkook stared at her from head to toe making her feel nervous in her own skin.

"Going somewhere?" he raised his eyebrows asking as today was sunday and he knew like every other sunday she would just read her cheesy magazine, or watch kdrama or would listen to songs. It was her routine and he was familiar with that rather used to that.

"Yeah" she smiled, nervously tracing the strap of the sling bag with her index finger and thumb. Something she noticed today in Jungkook's stare and body language, an unfamiliar aura.

"Can i ask where?" Jungkook became restless seeing that she is not even telling him where she is heading to. He knew that she never goes anywhere without telling him unlike today.

"With Jimin oppa. Actually he wants me to accompany him in shopping" she spat finally.

'Jimin' like a dagger that name pierced his heart, ripping it apart. Suddenly it reminded him about that night of 31st December when he had eavesdropped. He cursed himself for keeping such thing in his volatile memory.

"Eun Ae w-" he was cut off due to the call she received on her mobile.

"Call from Jimin oppa. I need to go. Bye" she waved and quickly made her way leaving him dumbfounded.

Jungkook scratched his head before heading towards the kitchen as he realised that he need to deal with his loneliness.

Eun Ae's P.O.V.

Somehow i felt weird when Jungkook was asking me questions as if he was the person i should concern before stepping outside. I could see he wasn't expecting this to come. I slapped my forehead lightly thinking that i should have told him beforehand about Jimin oppa as oppa is his friend so somehow he must have felt weird also he should be knowing this things.

I sighed as the elevator finally landed on the ground floor. I wish i would have stayed at home with Jungkook. I walked outside and greeted some of our neighbours whom i saw near the lobby. Soon my eyes landed on him, who was waiting for me. He flipped his hairs backward and licked his lips, his eyes were targeted at the paintings on the wall.

He wore a simple white shirt which was paired with ripped jeans. His well parted black hairs were perfectly on its place no matter how many times he flipped. I will not lie, yes i was checking him out. It was the first time some handsome guy asked me out, i know the reason was to help him in his shopping but still he is the first one. No doubt Jungkook is also handsome and i did went with him but that was to fake the things but today's case is totally different.

I flinched shyly as soon as his eyes landed on me. It felt like i was got struck by thousands of live wire. He let out a devilishly handsome smile which can make any girl go weak in her knees. I greeted as soon as i walked towards him.

"Thanks for coming" he gave an eye smile.

"You are welcome" i said shyly averting my eyes away from him as his stare was making my stomach go upside down.

"Come on lets go" he said and i nodded.

He drove towards the finest mall of Seoul.

End of P.O.V.

"Oppa you come for shopping over here?" she asked, her eyes gazing the most expensive mall. Jimin chuckled at her cuteness before answering as he parked his car.

"Not always but yes sometimes"

"Oh" was the only thing which she was able to say.

Her eyes widened as she saw the price tags of the clothes he had selected. He placed his index finger on his chin and looked at the denims he had collected from every corner without actually trying any of them. She vacuously stared at the clothes and the brands, everything was so unfamiliar for her. She wasn't a type of girl who was aware of brand names except for 'GUCCI' because she have heard that brand name from Taehyung many times also he gifted her a GUCCI bag for helping him in sorting out his feelings about Jisoo. She smiled thinking that how he is always teased more often as an upcoming 'GUCCI model' or a 'walking GUCCI'.

"Omg this simple pant cost ____ ₩" she muttered under breathe as she saw the tag. Just then she heard a chuckle from him and got embarrassed at the sight. Eun Ae never thought she can be that loud. She smiled sheepishly before looking away.

"Do you think that is too much??" Jimin asked her as he made his way towards Eun Ae, his eyes only on her.

"Maybe for me. I have never wore so much expensive clothes. Oh yea.. i have wore my wedding dress but that was forced on me and it was due to Jungkook i was wearing it" she smiled as the wedding shopping incident flashed infront of her eyes.

"Oh is that so?? Do you think one should not wear so much expensive clothes??" Jimin questioned as he signaled the helper to take away the clothes which he had selected, reason was simple Jimin did not wanted to look like a spoiled brat infront of her. He wanted to do all the things which will make her feel that he is the one, a keeper. He just wanted to show that he is a perfect man, a perfect husband material unlike Jungkook who only knows to play.

"It depends on the person and their thoughts" she beamed and looked at him who was already whipped due to her smile.

Eun Ae felt little​ weird as she was not use to such intense stare from anyone apart from Jungkook.

She cleared her throat before walking out and he followed.

--

"Do you want anything else?" he asked her before walking towards the counter, she nodded no. He walked towards the counter and placed his order. After few minutes he returned with a tray in his hands and a constant eye smile, his crooked tooth peeking out when he smiles making him look cute yet manly at the same time.

Eun Ae's P.O.V.

He looks so handsome and smart, i wonder why did he even asked me to help him. I looked around and saw few pair of eyes staring at us or to be specific on him. I sighed as this is not new to me because this thing happens when i am with Jungkook but the difference is that Jungkook gives more attention to those girls while Jimin he is not interested in them. I saw him staring at me, his eyes are so attractive and vivacious. An angelic soul moulded with a sunshine, a soft smile was formed on his full lips and his perfect V shaped jaw disappeared as he leaned and propped his chin on his palms.

"Oppa.. why did you asked me to help you with the shopping? i mean you can ask any other pretty girl and not me" i smiled weakly as i looked at some pretty girls who were giving me an envious looks as if they would have killed me if they had gun in their bags. I gulped and looked again at him.

I was expecting an answer but instead he chuckled looking down which made me nervous as i thought that i shouldn't have asked such stupid question as i don't know him that much.

I wanted him to look at me but when he did, i regretted my life's decision. His stare was so strong and intense that it made me weak.

"Believe me, you are beautiful..!" he looked away biting his lip making my heart beats go crazy, "..... and you aren't Jungkook's real wife so there is still a chance....." he paused. I wonder what he wanted to convey.

"Chance for me to date handsome men?" i asked him on which he leaned forward placing his elbows on the table.

"Ani..... chance for me to date a beautiful and pretty girl like you" he said nonchalantly. I blinked thinking that did he just flirt with me?

I slapped myself mentally, no there is no way he can flirt with me right? i am stupid to think that a handsome man like him can even try to flirt with me.

I let out a playful chuckle and his reaction turned sour as if he was hurt due to my response.

We ate and walked outside the mall. I was surprised as he did not even bought anything. I insisted him to buy something as we were here for his shopping but instead he said that we should do something more interesting.

"Oppa wh-" i was cutoff by a voice which was calling Jimin. We stopped only to turn towards the source. I saw a man running towards us, his eyes were on Jimin. He smiled and huffed as he stood infront of us with his hands on his knees while he was chasing his breathe. He wasn't that old as i guessed, maybe in his twenties. I looked at him in amazement, another good looking man infront of me. I chuckled internally thinking that i have been blessed today.

"Jackson?" Jimin knitted his eyebrows in surprise, i wonder why he did that.

"Jimin-ah how are you?" he asked, smiling and then his eyes landed on me. i smiled nervously.

"I am fine Jackson but when did you came from HongKong?" he asked.

"Yesterday, actually i was here for some charity related work so that's why" he beamed showing his genuine smile.

"Charity work? for what?"

"Orphanage" he said, "I am working for a non-profit organisation which works for woman and children. We have an orphanage in Seoul so i was here for that"

I consumed his words, his actions, aura was so sterling and honest that it caught my interest. I wanted to know more about his work as i really like people who work for the well-being of the society because i think people should take an afford to make life beautiful for others. It's okay to contribute a little for the one who actually needs it.

"Orphanage here in Seoul?" i asked, Jimin was taken aback to see my excitement but my attention was on the man who was standing infront of me. His eyes were now on me.

"Yeah, you wanna see? We have 50 children in total out of which 8 are babies" he said, we were on the same level of excitement.

"No actu-"

"I want to see" i interrupted before Jimin could speak. I averted my eyes towards Jimin and saw he was looking at me with disbelief and his expression turned blank. I smiled at him.

"Oppa, i think we should visit the orphanage once" i pleaded, pressing my lips on line. He thought for a while before saying yes and i jumped in enthusiasm while Jackson thanked him.

End of P.O.V.

Jimin was happy to see his friend Jackson but his mood was ruined when Eun Ae said yes to Jackson's proposal. It's not like Jimin is not interested in charity or something but it's just that today he wanted to spend some time alone with Eun Ae, he had planned a fantastic date in the most expensive hotel. He just wanted to make Eun Ae, the love of his life feel comfortable and special also he wanted to know her better.

Jackson sat on the backseat while Eun Ae was sitting beside Jimin. The whole time Eun Ae was talking with Jackson, Jackson on the other hand being a nicest person with kind heart was making her laugh by telling random jokes and incidents which he use to come across during the campaigning.

Little did they know there was someone who was dying with jealousy, he was extremely focus and tensed. His grip on the steering wheel would tightened after every small laugh he would hear from them. Jimin's jaw seemed to be tight, his eyebrows furrowed while his lips were firmly pursed as he looked at Jackson from his rear view mirror who was laughing along with Eun Ae, Eun Ae on the other hand was sitting near Jimin but her upper body was faced towards Jackson. Jimin gripped his locks almost harshly, rough enough to pull off some strand of hairs from his scalp. He never knew the feeling of jealousy was so intense, though he dated few girls before but Eun Ae was different more than different she was ethereal.

They reached the destination and Jimin parked the car.

"Come on Eun Ae i will show you the children. Some must have went to school but there are few who are still babies" Jackson let out his cutest smile while guiding them towards the entrance. Jimin followed Eun Ae and Jackson, he was trying his way out to match their pace and wanted to walk in between them. Separating Jackson from Eun Ae was the only thing he wanted to do, Jealousy they say!

--

"Jackson this baby is so cute!" she pinched the cheeks of a small baby lightly who was snoring in his cradle. Jimin chuckled seeing how cutely she is reacting and treating the babies from the time they entered, she almost tried holding every child which amazed him. He wondered how can a person be so happy just by seeing another human being. He never paid attention to anyone before but when she entered his life it did changed completely. She was the reason Jimin use to smile. She was his pain and his cure. He wondered why Jungkook never felt anything for her as they are living under same roof from many days. But that was a good news for him because he is not interested to give up on her.

"Come here Eun Ae, this baby is even more cuter" Jackson held her wrist and took her with him. Jimin's blood boil seeing him touching her, he wanted to kick his butt. Jackson released her and Jimin sighed. Somehow Jimin gathered himself and walked towards them. His eyes never left Eun Ae and Jackson because he was afraid, afraid that someone other than him will touch her.

"Wow she is so pretty. If i knew that i would be coming here then i would have brought some sweets and clothes for them. I feel so stupid as i know, one should never visit the children empty handed" there was a guilt moulded with sadness in her voice. Jimin felt sorry for the same.

"Jackson if you want i can donate some money-" Jimin was cutoff by Jackson who laughed out loud.

"It's not needed Jimin luckily we get enough money from the charity work we do. I don't need now but if i needed some i will surely knock your door" Jackson jabbed his chest and then they both shared a smile,

"...but i will be happy if you guys visited them..." saying Jackson held Eun Ae's hand only to raise it to his chest level. Jimin's jealousy reached the brim and he was about to pull Eun Ae towards him but just then Jackson continued, "You are like my sister Eun Ae, whom i just lost last year. You remind me of her. I will be happy if you visited these kids in my absences. Soon me and my girlfriend will be getting married so i will settle here with her and if you want then you can also join us and help us in our work" Jackson smiled and Eun Ae couldn't help but agreed. After all he was another caring and kind hearted person she met after Jin. Jimin felt so stupid and small at the same time as he doubted his friend whose intentions and mind was clean. He clenched his jeans in guilt and apologised to Jackson in his mind.

Day went very well in the orphanage. Jimin was on the way towards her house to drop her. He forced her to have dinner with him but then she excused saying that Jungkook must be waiting and must be hungry.

"Thanks oppa that was a great day but i am sad that you were not able to do your shopping.." she pouted feeling bad for Jimin.

"It's fine Eun Ae. I also enjoyed your company, it was a great day..!" Jimin gave her his sweetest eye smile and she grinned seeing the crescent shape that forms when his eyes disappeared while smiling. Somehow she found that cute, captivating.

She got down from the car and was about to leave but then Jimin stopped her.
