The days that followed after Aliya's conversation with Jin, she became more conscious over every word he speaks and action he makes. He calls and texts her every day, making sure she's had her meal. Her friends, specially Taehyung, didn't say anything about it. Her relationship with him is way different from her relationship with Yoongi before. Jin keeps his distance, he'd constantly hug or kiss her before he leaves but it's nothing out of the ordinary. She appreciates his sweetness to her but she didn't want to to give too much meaning to it. Not everything has an extra ordinary meaning, she learned that from her experience with Yoongi.

Yoongi seems to have decided to go silent in their gc. He's not opening his messages either. He is still in the group but just remained inactive. He must be busy in his project, Aliya tells herself although there's a tiny bit of doubt over that.

********************************

Two weeks had passed, Aliya agrees to go with Yuna and her group to their usual clubbing. Jin texted her that morning to let her know he is busy the whole day. He did ask what her plans for the night was so she told him where she's going.

She is ready to meet other men. She definitely didn't want any hook ups anymore although picking a sexy white dress to go out that night speaks otherwise. It's different from what she'd typically wear. The dress clings to her body showing off her curves while the neckline is low enough to show some cleavage. She curls her hair into a big wavy style that seductively falls over her face.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she sees a different Aliya. She's been from one heart ache to another and managed to get herself back on her feet. She's experienced sex in a different way and it got her eyes open about herself and men.

She believes she can improve herself more and she wants to achieve more. She already started her masters in Seoul because her mother asked her not to leave the country anymore. Her boldness and confidence had gone to a different level, and it's not just limited to sex.

She walks towards the elevator in her four inch heels and when it opens, she finds Jimin looking hot as ever in his black outfit. His eyes widen then looks at her from top to bottom then up again.

"I almost didn't recognize you. Where are you going looking like that?" He asks.

"I'm meeting up with Yuna and the girls." She replies. "I'm not going to ask where you're going because I can already tell."

"Why would you be going to the club looking like that?" He asks her.

"Why shouldn't I?" She asks back raising an eyebrow at him.

Jimin doesn't reply but pulls out his phone and calls Jungkook. "Let's change venues, let's go to our other usual spot instead. You'll know why when we meet up."

Aliya scowls at him. "No, no, no. You're not chaperoning me the whole night."

He chuckles. "Don't flatter yourself too much Aliya."

She hits his arm. "Why did you call Jungkook to go to a different club then?"

"We're moving to a different spot away from where you're going." Jimin tells her laughing hard when he sees her reaction. He holds his hands up when she starts hitting him. "Just kidding. Won't you need someone to help you walk, by the end of the night with those shoes of yours?"

"I can always walk on my bare feet. Anyway, are you driving or taking a cab?" She asks him.

"Cab, I'm drinking tonight." Jimin tells her.

"Let's share then. I'm meeting the girls for dinner first." She tells him the name of the restaurant.

"Sure, do you mind if JK and I crash along with you?"

"I don't mind, unlike you, I'm not mean." She replies before smiling at him. "Besides, the girls will love to have you and JK with us."

"I am not mean, I am very warm and friendly."

"True, but you're also a flirt and a player to add on top of that."

Jimin laughs. "We've been friends for a long time , you know me well enough."

"Very true."

"I know you that well too."

Aliya looks at him and all of her secrets that she's shared with him since they were young flashed before her. "I know, so let's both keep our lips zipped."

******************

Ara and Jenny's eyes widened when Aliya enters the restaurant with Jimin and Jungkook. Other customers turns to their direction as well, watching as they walk in.

Jungkook waited for them outside the restaurant and first thing he does is make fun of Aliya's heels telling her he's ready to call 911 anytime. She punched his arm and he yelped telling her that her training is starting to work. She enrolled to a boxing class with him to 'release her stress in a positive way', as he'd call it. That had helped her though, all her anger and frustrations over everything that happened with Yoongi, she managed to release in her work out.

"Are you guys joining us tonight?" Jenny asks excitedly.

"Yes." Jungkook replies as he takes a seat.

"Aliya, you look hot." Yuna tells her friend. "Ready to meet hot guys tonight?"

"Why bother when she's already got them?" Ara asks pointing at the two men they were with.

"They don't count." Aliya tells her. "For me at least."

"How can you not find them hot?" Jenny asks.

"I've known them since middle school that's why." Aliya answers with a chuckle as she looks at her two male friends.

"No Jin tonight?" Yuna asks looking back at the door hoping he'd show up.

"I don't think so." Aliya replies but Jimin cuts her off.

"Actually, he might come and meet us at the club." Jimin tells her to her surprise.

Aliya scowls. "Really? How come he didn't tell me that?" She checks her phone and starts texting him. His answer was quick, he apologized and said he just finished work, he just needs to go home and change before meeting them. Honestly, she is glad that he is coming.

"He doesn't have to tell you everything that he's going to do Aliya." Jimin reminds her.

"Of course I know that." She replies feeling a bit embarrassed. Jin is just a friend, he's not obligated to tell her what his plans are.

**********

Aliya attracted a lot of attention from the guys at the club. She managed to dance with a few since she's got two bodyguards next to her who mostly scares them away. They had their hands full too as women keeps on coming up to them trying to strike a conversation hoping that they'll notice them enough for a dance and a chance for a hook up.

Jihyun, to her surprise, was there too. He walks towards her, waving at Jimin and JK who merely nods at him in response. Their sinister stare didn't work for him at all.

"Wow, Aliya, I'm out of words on how you look tonight. Are you sure you don't want to get back with me again?" He jokes.

Aliya laughs. "Nice try, but I don't want to be a third wheel to your new girl. Where is she by the way?"

"She is on a holiday with her family. I'll make sure that you get to meet her when she comes back." He tells her. They had lunch the week before and he shared that he finally started dating someone he met at a convention he attended. They work in the same field and they had a lot of things in common so he decided to ask her out. Things clicked with them and he intends to make things official between them when she comes back.

"How about a dance?" He asks Aliya. She smiles and nods at him. Aliya's glad he finally found someone who'd love him the way he deserves to be loved. She didn't mind dancing closer to him than she normally would. She's got no guilty feelings anymore, she's grateful that they can still be friends. He's been a part of her life, loving her the way he did and him being her first in bed. He'll be someone she'd always remember.

When he holds her closer to him, she feels his 'happy' member on her abdomen. She steps back and stares at him with wide eyes.

"What the..." She didn't continue her sentence.

"Sorry, I can't help it. You look so damned hot tonight." He tells her.

"I thought you're serious to your new girl." She tells him.

"I am, it's just that I can't help remembering our past. But I'm telling you right now, I've gotten over you." Jihyun tells her looking so sweet as he stares at her with wide innocent eyes.

Someone clears his throat behind them and when Aliya turns, she finds Jin with his eyes on Jihyun. He places an arm around her shoulders without breaking his stare to the other man.

"Hey man, how are you doing?" He tells Jin.

"I'm fine. Good to see you again." Jin says before looking at Aliya. He lightly touches her chin. "Are you two done?"

"Yes, we're ok right Aliya?" Jihyun asks hesitantly. Aliya moves to give him a quick hug in response.

"Of course. Promise me you'll treat her right." She whispers to his ear before stepping away from him.

"Promise." He replies.

"You two are giving people the wrong impression with your closeness." Jin jokes before taking her hand as they headed to their table.

"I'm just happy for him. He finally found someone else." Aliya explains.

Jin chuckles as he looks back at Jihyun's retreating figure. "He did? I think I want to give him a hug too."

Aliya hits his arms as she laughs. Jin is dressed casually in a pair of grey jeans, plain white shirt and black light jacket. He winks and greets Yuna who passed by them. Aliya couldn't see clearly in the dark club but she's sure that her friend is blushing right now.

"Pretty boy has moved on guys." Jin tells Jimin and Jungkook.

"Meaning what?" Jimin asks him.

Aliya rolls her eyes. "He's dating someone." She tells them.

"Really? And he still holds you like that?" Jungkook said.

"Well, he really is dating someone else." Aliya said.

Jin stays quiet but just continues to stare at her. Jimin elbows him and he shakes his head as if to wake himself up before taking a long drink of his vodka.

"Let's dance." He tells Aliya, taking her hand again as he leads her to the dancefloor.

"What's going on Jin? You seem bothered about something." Aliya asks him.

"Since my break up with Miya, we got closer right? "

"Yes."

"How do you feel about it?"

"What do you mean?" Aliya asks him.

Jin moves his head closer to her ear so she could hear him because the music is too loud. "Are you comfortable with it?" He asks looking into her eyes.

"I'd say yes because you're really sweet." She answers back.

"I have my reasons why I'm being this way to you." His gaze never breaks from hers as he speaks.

"What is it?" People have been noticing how he's been treating her and she's curious to know why.

Jin cups her face with both hands and moves his face closer to hers she could feel his breath on her face. Wait, is he seriously going to kiss her? She asks herself.

"You said you trust me so, trust me in this too..." He whispers, his eyes looking at her lips before moving down to finally brush his lips lightly on hers.
