Chapter Four

The stars are shining so bright, they're continuously twinkling and it's fascinating how its light complimented the dark skies.

Seokjin smiled admiring the skies even the darkness, he embraced himself as the cold wind hit his bare skin, shivering.

"Seokjin, what are you doing there? It's too cold!" The servant stood next to him.

A balcony in his room, he loves spending his free time there. He loves seeing other people in their village walks around with a smile plastered on their faces.

He wants to do that too, walk around freely.

He sometimes wonder as to why he's inside this house all of his life. He never went out without his servant or his Aunt.

"C'mon, Seokjin. It's too cold you might get rashes." The servant worriedly said.

Seokjin's lips tugged downwards. He doesnt want to, he wants to spend more hours looking at the people passing by or just count the countless stars.

Though, he nods his head and went back inside his room with his servant worriedly checking his skin for red spots.

"Did you put on your lotions?"

"Yes..."

"How about the handcream?"

"Yes..."

"And the moisturizers?"

"Yes..."

"Did you wash your face before all of that?"

"Yes..."

The servant let out a tight-lipped smile as he noticed how exhausted Seokjin looks, he's emotionally worn out.

"Taehyung and Jungkook are the most popular bachelors, Seokjin. They came from the wealthiest and the most influential family." His servant explained.

"Many people out there wants to be chosen by them. Your Aunt wants one of them to atleast pick you but both bachelors wants to be with you, Seokjin."

Seokjin stared at his servant for a minute with his stoic expression, he let out a very deep sigh.

"Is that even a good thing?" He asked, expressionless.

He knows that he's destined for something like this. This is main reason as to why his Aunt is taking care of him like he's her most prized possesion because of this— the possibility of getting picked by the most wealthiest family.

He's well-aware that this is going to happen but not this soon. He's barely living his own life and what? He needs to spend it with someone that he doesnt even know.

Sure, the both of them are smoking hot and looks like they're god gift's to everyone with their features but Seokjin wants more than the beauty, money and fame.

Morning came, the beauty woke up earlier than usual. He wants to stay in his before for another hour but his servant dragged him inside the bathroom already.

He changed into some fancy clothes and sat on the edge of his bed while his servant is trying to fix his hair stylishly as he keeps on yawning and wanting to just lie down and sleep once again.

"Why am I dressed up early in the morning?" He asked.

"You're going to Sir Taehyung's house for today."

Seokjin snapped his eyes open with his mouth slight agaped because of what the servant just said. What the hell is he going to do there?

He bit his lower lips as he looked at his servant who has his eyebrows furrowed checking every corner if there's something that he should add.

When the servant was safisfied with how Seokjin looks, he let out the sweetest smile while staring at the younger looking so proud.

"Dont hold back, be yourself. Try to enjoy it, Seokjin."

He just let out an exasperated sigh knowing that he couldnt do anything but to nod. It's not like he has an option because if he does, he wont go to that strange hour and later on choose between those two bachelors.

There's a time wherein Seokjin will dream of something, it always consist of him living alone and having friends that he can spend his free day with as he have his own job supporting his own needs.

It's just him. Him, living for himself and not to always beautify himself to be someone else's.

But he knows better, he knows better than just to think about what he wants to do.

His Aunt did a lot of things just to provide him more than what he needs, he needs to do what she wants and make her happy in return. Also, there's Lee who's always by his side taking care of him and making sure that he's doing just fine.

He bit his lower lips clenching his fist as he finally rose up to his feet trying to smile at his Aunt who's already waiting for him.

"You look so beautiful, Seokjin." His Aunt said.

"Thank you..."

She let out a very warm smile cupping both of Seokjin's cheeks.

"Try to enjoy his company. He's a good man. If he did something you doesnt like, tell me and we'll stop seeing him."

Seokjin nods his head holding his Aunt's hand placing a kiss on the back of it.

It took him almost an hour to get to that Kim Taehyung's house, it was fascinating.

The mansion looks very extravagant and it shows how wealthy their family is, it shows how they're living a luxurious life with how everything looks so good with one another.

The guards accompanied him until he reached the doorstep which he was greeted by the two helps who bowed at him immediately.

This is his first time without his servant or Aunt, he feels very uncomfortable and he doesnt know what to do.

He stepped inside with his mouth slightly agaped because of how intricate the designs of some of the furnitures and how the overall interior looks very elegant.

He was pulled back into his reverie when he heard giggles and footsteps nearing him, he looks around and slightly bowed when he saw Taehyung with his arms wrapped around to a beautiful pale man.

"Oh yeah, you're supposed to visit here today." Taehyung said clearing his throat as he let go of the said man.

Seokjin didnt say anything and just once again smiled at the both of them.

"Seokjin, this is my friend Yoongi," Taehyung looks at his said friend, "Yoongi, this is Seokjin." He introduced.

Yoongi let out his gummy smile which made Seokjin's heart wavered because of how cute the man is.

He always wanted a younger friend just so he could treat him like a baby. No, he basically wanted a younger brother.

Seokjin looks taken aback when Taehyung suddenly walked towards him, his eyes staring right back at Seokjin.

"So does this mean you'rs choosing me?"
