Chapter Six

It's just a normal day in their household, nothing much is happening.

Seokjin lives a pretty boring life since he's always being taken care of and he always have to watch what he does or he'll put his servant into a serious amount of scolding by his Aunt.

He can clearly remember that one time he wanted to try cooking, he was fifteen back then. He burnt his finger, it's not a serious injury but it almost left a very tiny scar on his index finger.

His Aunt yelled at his servant and everytime that she will see the poor man, she will hiss at him and will yell angrily for not taking good care of Seokjin.

That's when he promised that he will take care of himself and would not cause any trouble because he's not the only one in the line if ever something bad happens to him.

He's just staring at his reflection in the mirror.

This beauty is a curse.

The beauty that he has may be the reason as to why their life will get so much easier but it is also the reason as to why he's caged and limited to all the things that he should do.

He looked at the door when he heard someone knock, he let out a small smile when it opened revealing his smiling Aunt.

"Hello, darling..."

His Aunt stopped and stood behind him caressing his hair while looking at him in the reflection which made him let out a chuckle.

"How did it go with Sir Taehyung, Jin?"

Seokjin examined his Aunt's expression first, he doesnt want to dissapoint her. What if he likes Sir Taehyung more than Sir Jungkook?

"C'mon, Jin. You can be honest with me, dont worry." She said in a soothing voice.

The young beautiful man let out a deep sigh before he shook his head.

"Im sorry but I am not interested with him, I am also not interested with Sir Jungkook but Sir Taehyung," he shrugged his shoulder, "He looks a lot more complicated." He said.

He doesnt think that he can give Taehyung a second chance, he doesnt want to be in between with what Taehyung and Yoongi can possibly have.

"Are you ready to meet Sir Jungkook, then?" She asked.

Seokjin's eyes widened in surprised, he doesnt know what to say.

He's not ready to meet anyone, he doesnt think that he could ever be ready! He's not good with socializing as he never get the chance to always meet and talk with somebody.

There is always a time wherein Seokjin wants to talk to his Aunt and tell her that he doesnt want to get married like this, he wants to get a job instead and live normally.

He doesnt want to be always pampered and protected like a damsel in distress, he wants to be on his own and make his own life decisions.

Though, he knows that confessing those words to the only family that he has will break that one particular person's heart. He doesnt want to dissapoint his Aunt.

He is very much thankful for a lot of things that his Aunt provided for him, he always has expensive clothes, eats nutritious and delicious food and even bathe with such essentials that will make his skin softer.

Though, his heart always ache with the thought of there's a part of all of this— it's for the money.

He doesnt want to judge his Aunt so easily but that's what he can only think of, there is a lot of bachelors who want him even before but his Aunt always refused them saying that they deserve someone with more money and great influence to the society.

"Sir Taehyung and Sir Jungkook are the finest bachelors that everyone wants to be with, Seokjin." She let out a deep sigh, "I hope you'll make up your mind soon." He said.

His heatbeat thumped faster against his chest making him bit his lower lip but he nods his head letting out a small smile.

He barely know those male and he knows once he said the name of each of them, one thing will lead to another. Soon enough, he'll hear them preparing for the marriage.

Seokjin was about to say something but stopped when he heard a few soft knocks on the door that was followed with his servant's voice,

"Sir Jungkook is here already..."

The young man clenched his fist, his Aunt pat his shoulder as she leaned down and gave her nephew a kiss on the forehead.

"Go meet Sir Jungkook. I hope you'll enjoy this time."

This is all happening too fast for Seokjin. He was just talking to his Aunt and now he's going inside the car of the man that he just met a few days ago.

"So yeah, dont you remember me?" Jungkook asked.

Seokjin looked at the man who immediately started to drive, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion trying to examine the familiar face of the man next to him.

His eyes widened in surprised when he finally realized who it is, he looks at his neck and saw the tattoo slightly showing from his chest. It's him.

The handsome man in the market!

"Oh! Yes! I remember you now." He exclaimed.

Jungkook glanced at him smirking as he slightly shook his head seeing the surprise look on the younger's face, he looks so damn cute.

"You should've told me sooner."

Seokjin was excited but still, he's composed. He never loses his cool, he's always calcuted and the gentleness of his gestures are natural which made him come out as classy, glamorous and regal.

"Why?" Jungkook raised his eyebrows, "If I told you sooner, you wont go out with Taehyung?" He playfully asked.

Seokjin bit the insides of his cheeks, he held his seatbelt tight. He didnt mean it in that way, actually.

He was just excited because atleast! Jungkook is a little bit familiar to him as they already met in the market and talk for quiet some time.

"What, Jin? Now, do you like me more than Taehyung?" He asked, wiggling his brows.

Seokjin rolled his eyes and scoffed because of Jungkook's mock confidence. Though, he's aware that the other was just joking.

"What!? No! I dont like any of you."

Jungkook protruded his lips and leaned forward causing his lips to faintly brush at Seokjin's earlobe.

"I'll change that real soon..."
