1 Chapter 1

Seoul, 4.29 pm

It's raining outside . All the people are in a hurry . Some are running inside the stores while some are going inside their cars . While there are some high school couples ,enjoying the weather.

I took shelter in a old antique shop . The shop is a little bit scary but i don't know why bit everytime i cross the road ,the shop manages to take all my attention. An old woman came out from the shop , wrinkles are all spread in her face , age has touched every corner of her body , still can't take her smile . "A new customer " , she said , looking at me . I smiled ," Actually, i am here because of the rain . Sorry , you misunderstood me for a customer. " I know in these days of modern materials, antique shops are just a showpiece, and when a customer enters the shop ,the shopkeeper get the lost brightness in his face ,in the hope of a penny . " Uh ,don't be sorry .Come, come . Sit inside or else you will catch cold." The old women said ,gesturing me to come inside . I ,hesitantly , nodded and followed her.

The shop is so neat and clean and it showers the vibes of nostalgia. I scanned each and every corner of the room . A small yet cozy room ,with the old pandulam clock , which makes sounds with each passing hour , the painting of cherry blossom of Japan in the right wall and the wardrobe of old antique stuffs . It's warm inside . The woman let me to sit in one of her sofa set and handed me a cup of coffee . " This will surely help you to fight with this cold" , she said . I smiled . She sat down in front of me and took one cup of coffee for herself . " What's your name ,child ?" , she asked looking into my eyes . " oh , it' Pari ." , i said .

"Pari ? Not from our country, of course ."

I smiled ," No . Actually i am from India . I have been living here for 2 years . "

Her face brightened as i mentioned 'India'," India !", she exclaimed," I love that place . I still remember, me and Mr Jeon , I mean my husband , once went there . It's so nice there ,so colourful and the people are so friendly. And you know , there's a boy who was quiet handsome and my husband hot jelous of him ,thinking that i would fall for him ." We both laughed ,listening to her story .

" Where's your husband ,Mrs.Jeon ?" ,i asked . "He lives in Busan because of his work ." ,she said . But something in her face faded , answering me the question. I was curious, still didn't want to dig the old grave of her memory. I looked out of the window, the rain has stopped. " The weather is clean now . I'll go first. Thanks for the coffee and shelter, Mrs Jeon ." I bowed to her and collected my stuffs . She held my hand and smiled ," Thank you for your company , child. People always ignore this place ,thinking as useless . Well ,i can't say it would be useful for you , but take this as a gift from me . " She handed an old antique clock , i looked at the clock and took it ,just to make her smile. " Thank you.", I said ." Do come visit again ,Pari ." She said waving at me .

I reached my apartment after the walk of half and hour . Not a single cab crossed the road , which could take me home . I opened the door , and threw my bag on the sofa . " Such an exhausting day. " ,i said . Suddenly, the phone rang and the name of " Moonbyul" popped in the screen . Moonbyul , moon ; has been my best friend since the class of nursery .She has been a constant support for me . On the phone-

M : " Hey Pari , where have you been ? I have texted you so many times and see there'll be more than 10 missed calls on your phone from me. "

I looked at the phone - 15 missed calls and 8 texts , all from moon .

Me:" I am so sorry . Actually, i was stuck in the rain and my phone didn't have network to inform you .

M:" Fine fine . I understand. Now listen . Be ready at 7 . I will pick you up from your home ."

Me :" Ready for what ?"

M:" Didn't you know ? Solar is throwing a huge luxurious party for her and Baekhyun's 5 months' relationship. "

Me :" 5 months' anniversary? Seriously??"

M : "yeah ,i nkow it's kinda silly .But c'mon, we don't have anything to do with the reaosn and beside it's WEEKEND! And you know ,i heard Nancy will be trying on Jimin , and i can't let that happen . So .. "

Me : " But Jimin and you .. not a thing yet ,i guess. "

M : ----‐

Me :(sigh) " Okay fine . I'll be ready at 7 ."

M : "Oh Pariiii . Thanks . You are the best . Love you ."

Me : " Yeah yeah enough of the drama . Now let me decide the outfit . Bye ."

M :" see ya "

6.45 pm

It's 6.45 now .Moon will be here after 15 minutes. I, again , checked all the stuffs . Everything is ready . Now , i only have the last touch on my outfit and makeup . I have wore a black sleeveless dress, have put a little makeup on the dace and a messy bun and the low heel shoes . I am ready .

" i am here ." - a message popped up . I locked the door and went to Moonbyul .

M : "Wow , you are looking like a snack babe ."

Me : " Yeah ,i know . Now ,can we go ?"

M : " Yes ."

7.20 pm

It took Moon 20 minutes to reach the place . There was so much crowd. The loud music can make anyone deaf in a second . Clearly, it's one of the wild parties where anyone can hook up with you and can be found on your bed . I rolled my eyes . Moon ,grinned at me and took me inside . And there's the rich group of Seoul ,playing and talking around .. and if course, drinking. Solar ,smiled at us and hugged as a warm welcome . We both greeted them and sit in their circle. Lisa , Rosé ,Jisoo and Jennie- the blackpink, one of the richest and popular group of playgirls ,although they all are really talented and successful. And then there's is Hyuna , Irene and some others girls too. In the opposite side ,the boys are there - Kai , Baekhyun, Jackson wang . We greeted them too . As we all are talking ,a high pitched scream was heard . " The boys are here ,i guess." , Lisa said ,making a smirk . The boys , BTS , the group of fuckboys . I hated all of them ,each and every member but sadly my bestfriend has crazily fallen in love with Jimin . As they enter the room , I rolled my eyes and tried to avoid them . I went to the bar section and ordered a soft drink . "Sitting on the bar and drinking soft drink ... not a match ,i guess. " I looked in the left and my heart stopped beating - "Kim Taehyung. ", I gasped.

" So ,you didn't go from our lives ,i guess. " ,He said .

" I am out of your lives ", I said .

"So then ,what are you doing here ? You should be back to your country, right ?"

"I am here because of my .. job."

" oh ,why don't you accept that you can't get over us and that's why you are here , in Korea, in seoul ,in this party . "

" listen , I am here cauze of my own reason .Not because of you or your stupid fuckboy group and -"

" Not because of Jungkook,right ?"

"Yes,not because of him too . I am OUT of your lives ,and don't want the chapters to start again .",with that i stood up from the chair and as i was about to levae the place-

" It's good for you ,if you are out of our group and lives ,cause ,you know he's moved on now ." ,he pointed out at the direction where ,in the corner of the room ,there is Eunha and Jeon Jungkook ..kissing each other .
