With this thought in mind, she drives to Yoongi's house a week later, after Nari called her to let her know that Yoongi arrived in Seoul the previous night. It's a holiday in Japan which is why he had scheduled this trip. She has no concrete plans on how to do it or what to tell him. She'll just go with the flow as she did before on their first night together. She thinks that she is not deeply in love with him as she had been with Taehyung but she is sure that she likes him, a lot. Why would she be doing this foolish whim if she doesn't?

Aliya checks her reflection in the mirror before she gets off her car. She finds a food delivery scooter parked in front of his house, obviously, he wouldn't be shopping for ingredients if he'll only be home for the weekend. Maybe she should have brought something, she told herself, too late for that now. The gate is open so she enters. The delivery driver, a middle aged lady, greets her with a smile and a bow. She smiles and greets her back as she walks up towards the open front door. Should she knock even if the door is open? Maybe Yoongi is at the kitchen after receiving his delivery. Her hands were sweaty and cold while her heartbeat was going so fast she's scared she'd suffer a heart attack. She knocks but got no answer so she walks towards the receiving area but steps back in surprise when she sees a woman wearing Yoongi's shirt and nothing else standing by the stairs.

"Babe, food part 1 is here." She calls. "Still waiting for part 2."

She hears Yoongi laugh followed by footsteps as he starts descending the stairs. "I don't know why you have to order too much babe, we still have two more days here."

"Eating Korean food in a different country is different compared to having it in your home land." She replies with a chuckle.

"Did you answer the door just wearing that?"

"Relax, a woman made the delivery."

"As if that makes a difference hmm."

Aliya didn't have to see what they were doing during the silence that followed because she can hear the wet sounds of their lips and the woman's giggle and moans. Why the hell she is still standing there for is beyond her, but she knew she heard enough as she walked out of the front door that turned into a sprint as she makes her way back to the car.

She sees the next delivery driver taking the food out from his scooter. She jumps into her car and steps on the gas not wanting to be seen by Yoongi when he comes out. She still had a glimpse of him, but he didn't recognize her new car and with the heavy tint, he didn't see her either.

Aliya deliberated with herself whether she should attend the meeting at Taehyung's and Jia's place or not. She calls Jin and asked if she could sign it without having to attend the meeting. He said it's fine but never stopped asking if anything is wrong. She didn't want anyone to know about the stupidity she did earlier. She's dying from embarrassment for being too over confident that he'll just take her back when she appears to his house.

Not wanting to be too obvious that something is the matter with her, she tells Jin to forget what she said and she'll just attend the meeting.

She drives to Taehyung's and Jia's place fifteen minutes early but she didn't want to leave her car yet. She needed to pull herself together and made sure everything appears normal. She dressed up nice and did her make up not to impress Yoongi but to hide behind it. She wanted to cover up for the humiliation and the heartache she's feeling over the fact that her expectations turned out differently. He's found someone, and he actually calls her 'babe'. He never called her by anything except her name unless they were having sex then she's 'luv', but that doesn't count because for all she knew, all the girls he had sex with is luv to him.

Determined not to let anyone see her inner turmoil, she walks towards Jia and Taehyung's place. Jia opens the door for her with a huge smile. "Hey, we're all starting to wonder where you are." She said as she hugs her. "We've already started with dinner, sorry. The boys said they're too hungry."

Aliya nods her head. "That's fine, I had had a snack earlier and I'm still full." She only had a nibble from the toast she made because she lost her appetite to eat. She couldn't, after witnessing what she did.

Jia leans forward and whispers "He's here."

There's no need to guess who the 'he' is. She wanted to make sure it's just him so she asks. "Alone?"

Jia's brows knotted together. "Of course why wouldn't he be?"

Aliya smiles and shakes her head. She follows the other woman towards the dining room and though she hears greetings, she refused to meet anyone's eyes.

Taehyung comes to her first, hugging her. "You look beautiful Iya but you're late."

She gives him a small smile. "Sorry, I got held up a bit."

"By what?" Jimin asks her. "Did you just get back from a date?"

She rolls her eyes at him but didn't answer his question.

"So you really did come. I thought you were serious in not showing up tonight." Jin tells her and she wanted to kick him mentioning that.

Aliya shrugs. "I changed my mind."

"Why don't you want to go tonight? It's important that we're all complete. Even Yoongi flew all the way from Osaka." Taehyung tells her.

If only her bestfriend knew the reason why she didn't want to go. "There was some unexpected," She paused to find the right word. "circumstance."

Aliya decides to stick with fruits since she didn't have the appetite to eat. She sat next to Nari who grabs her hand tightly before whispering "We'll talk later." Aliya already had a hunch what she's going to say.

She focuses her eyes on her food although Jungkook sits across her, she knew Yoongi is a few seats away from him. He is sitting next to Hobi. She can tell that his eyes were on her, he still has that effect on her. She willed herself not to look at him.

Jin discusses the details about the acquisition and how things would run from that point on. He reminded everyone that they need to sign the contract for the sale and their business contract. After that, he asks Yoongi to speak about the renovations. Aliya doesn't look up at him, hearing his voice is torture. He discusses the design that he already made, he flashes it on the large tv screen where he connected his laptop. Aliya had no choice but to watch the screen and got impressed over the design that he made. He discussed each and every detail of the common areas and the changes that will be made.

Then he discusses the bedroom. He starts to ask everyone which room they were taking since more rooms were going to be built and each will be designed according to their own preference. Everyone started giving their ideas and their choices. Yoongi clears his throat and Nari lightly nudges Aliya.

"Oh, sorry what?" She looks up at Yoongi in surprise, his face is unreadable but he is looking straight at her. After a month she gets to see him and her breath gets caught in her trachea. The scene at his house from this morning keeps on playing on her head and that pulls her back to reality.

"Which bedroom would you prefer?" He asks her.

Anywhere as long as it's away from you, she wanted to say. The last thing she needed is to hear what's happening in his bedroom if he takes that girl there during one of their gatherings. "It doesn't matter which part." She says. She catches Taehyung's raising an eyebrow at her statement.

"How about the east side third level since you'd get to have a clear view of the sunrise every morning from there." He knows exactly what she likes, she thinks sadly. So what right?

"Sure that sounds nice." Aliya replies before adding. "Thank you." She had to admit she could've added more emotions to her voice but she couldn't.

"Hey, guess what? Our room is next to each other." Jin tells her with a smile before winking at her.

Even though she feels awful, Aliya managed to smile back at her friend. Since he broke up with Miya, they have gotten close. He always made sure he makes her smile specially when Yoongi left.

Yoongi clears his throat again to get everyone's attention before he continued his talk which didn't take a long time to finish. The contacts that needed to get signed were laid at the table and they all took turns signing them. Since they were already given copies previously, they already knew what's in there so most of them just scanned through them before signing.

"Well," Jin said as soon as they all had their signatures in. "that officially seals our business partnership. We're friends and business partners too." He exchanged high fives with everyone and hugs them at the same time.

"Hey partner." He tells Aliya before hugging her.

"Hey partner." She chuckles as she hugs him back.

"Oh god, I have to brace myself to more of your dad jokes since we're room neighbors." She tells him.

Jin laughs. "I'm going to keep you up all night with them."

"Oh no." She replies placing her hand dramatically over her forehead.

Taehyungs interrupts them as he pulls Aliya for a hug. "Hey bestfriend, we're just like our parents now, business partners too."

"Isn't that amazing?" She tells him. Jimin and Jungkook squishes Aliya which made her yelp to their amusement. She hugs Hobi who pinched her cheek before letting her go and then Namjoon who was with Nari followed. Yoongi is at the other side of the room and showed no signs of getting close to her. She didn't want to walk up to him either. Before she could decide on what to do, Nari pulls her aside.

They were standing at the open balcony of Taehyung's house.

"He got back with her." Nari tells her.

"Who?" Aliya asks.

"Yoongi." Nari whispers. "Apparently, he used to date this girl Sara. No one knows about her because you know how he is, he limits what he shares to his friends. Namjoon is the only one who knows. They broke up because Sara chose her career over Yoongi. But they got back together when they ended up working for their project in Japan, that's where she lives now. Please tell me you didn't go to his place as planned."

There's no denying it at this point. Her eyes fell on the ground and the other woman hugs her. "Oh no. Did you see her?"

"I saw them, I stand corrected, I heard them but I really don't have to see to know what they were doing." She replies in a flat voice. Seeing Aliya's expression, Nari already knew what she's talking about.

"Shit, that sucks, I honestly don't know what to say. I wouldn't be able to tell by the looks of you tonight. How did you manage to look composed despite of what you found out?"

"I have to, I am anything but going to show how my heart is shredding into pieces right now." She sighs. "I thought I just like him, but seeing what I saw earlier made me realize something, I think I'm in love with him"

Nari's hands tightened around her shoulders and slowly pulls back from her embrace. Aliya sees her eyes were as big as saucers. She managed to whisper. "Pull yourself together." Then she says in a louder voice. "Hey Yoongi, what brings you here?"
