Chapter Nine

When they arrived at the venue, the party has formally started already. It was a good thing fo Seokjin, that only means that all the formality was done and he doesnt have to be with Taehyung all the time.

There are wine tables everywhere, lots of people are around the hall talking and laughing at each other while some are walking around greeting everyone trying to strike a conversation.

Seokjin doesnt like this kind of crowd, the people who is happily talking to each other doesnt look sincere.

It seems like they're talking because they have to, they are interacting because they need to and they are laughing to conceal that they are force to.

"Do you want something to eat, Seokjin?" Taehyung asked in his natural deep voice.

The younger likes how the older's voice sounds so dominant, how he manage to sound so authoritive with just a very simple question and he hates it because of the same reason.

"Im fine..."

Taehyung bit his lower lips, hesitant to say another word again and ends up getting reject, he just slowly nods his head and zipped his mouth.

Seokjin looked around and in another table he saw Yoongi standing so close with a man that he cant name.

He cant help but to think if Taehyung already saw Yoongi getting all lovey-dovey with another man. They're continuously pleasuring each other as per what Yoongi said, do they feel jealousy in this kind of circumstances?

He always named it as making-love because that's what he always read in books— that two people doesnt just have s*x, they're making love with each other. It's putting an emphasis about all the emotions mixed into one in that night.

Seokjin cant imagine his man who will spend his intimate night with be with another person the next day, that would hurt, he knows.

How can Taehyung and Yoongi do that as if its a normal thing to do? It's as if what they're doing is as simple as saying a simple greeting towards each other.

"I'll be back." Taehyung whispered.

Seokjin nods his head at him, he saw the glint of irriration in the older's eyes as he walked towards the direction of Yoongi.

He shook his head a little bit, he knew it. They can deny what they have for each other but it will always show, they cant conceal the call of jealousy.

Biting his lower lips, he scanned the area full of people with probably the same agenda. He lowered his head when he realized the eyes glued onto him, it's making him feel conscious about how he looks.

His Aunt is always reassuring him that no matter what he does and no matter what he wears, he always looks undeniably pretty.

Though, he always doubt that.

The people looking at him made him even more conscious about how he currently looks. Does he have dirt on his face? And it's even more awkward now that he's alone.

"Seokjin...."

The beauty looked behind him and immediately let out a small smile when he finally got to see a familiar face.

"Jungkook," he nods his head, "You're here too." He mumbled.

"Your servant? Why are you out here alone?" Jungkook worriedly asked.

Jungkook angrily looked at the men with their eyes glued onto Seokjin's beauty, it's irritating.

Men in these places are scarier than those in the street, these people thought that they're entitled to everything because of the money that they have.

"My Aunt made me go with Taehyung." He answered.

Jungkook shut his eyes closed, he massaged his temples.

He opened his eyes looking around as he raised his brows when he didnt even got a glimpse of the said man.

"Then where is he?" He hissed, "He should be looking after you!" He said.

Seokjin was taken aback because of Jungkook's raising voice, he bit his lower lips when he saw the older's chest heaved up and down trying to calm himself.

"Im sorry..."

Jungkook's expression softened, he looked at Seokjin straight into his eyes, he looked around and held the younger's arms when he saw a lot of men looking towards their direction.

"They're seconds away from going to you, Seokjin. They all want you." Jungkook said in almost a whisper.

The younger doesnt know what the man is trying to say so he looked around and was greeted by a lot of eyes fixed onto them.

"Let's get out of here." Jungkook mumbled.

He grabbed Seokjin by the arms and the both of them made their way out of the hall. Seokjin didnt say anything and just let Jungkook lead the way.

He's not even sure if he's safe with Jungkook. He just doesnt want to be the center of attention inside of that hall, he doesnt know what he should do with all those eyes fixed onto him.

"I can handle myself." Seokjin said in a stern voice.

Now that he realized it, he once again let someone caged him from being mixed with people. Though, he wants to be away from it, he also said that he wants to blend in.

"You cant," Jungkook hissed, "I am not judging your capability but we just have to make sure." He said in his soothing voice.

Seokjin cant stop staring at the man infront of him, it's fascinating. It's truly incredible how someone can look so masculine but angelic at the same time.

"Yoongi is a beautiful man. Why can he roam around and I cant?" Seokjin asked, aggravated.

He heard that Yoongi also came from a rich family in town, the reason as to why he's close with Taehyung. It's because their parents are friends even before, it's as if the bond was passed onto them.

"Everyone knows that he's close with Taehyung that's why no one dares to lay a finger on him." Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.

Seokjin protruded his lips and just slowly nods his head, cant think of what to say. He wants to object and justify himself but he cant.

He doesnt have any idea how the society works. He doesnt want to be so full of himself knowing the harmful effects of someone like him being out with so many people.

Though, his heart feels so heavy everytime the thought of wanting to go out momentarily crossed his mind.

Why does he need a rich man just to be free?

What's so wrong with someone like him? He didnt chose to be a man who's able to conceive. He may sound conceited but he didnt chose to have this kind of beauty, he's cursed.
