Call Backs...

Jungkook returned to the restaurant. He was happy to notice that Namjoon had not burned the place to the ground or any screaming customers that came running. He locked the car and entered. It was quiet.

Namjoon grinned at him while beckoning at him. "Hey," Jungkook said sluggishly.

Namjoon's eyes narrowed in confusion. "What is the matter? We are supposed to celebrate."

Jungkook mentioned with his eyes to his office. He did not want to speak in front of Nimue. Namjoon blinked once to show him that he understood.

They entered the office and Jungkook turned to him. "So tell me what Hoseok told you."

Namjoon grinned from ear to ear. "He said that their chemistry was wild. The tension between them will save his company-"

"Then why did my sister run from the building in tears?" Jungkook interrupted.

Namjoon's face contorted in confusion. "I don't understand."

Jungkook sighed and sat down at his desk. He intertwined his fingers, resting his head on them lightly. "My sister was crying and she would not tell me what aspired in the interview."

"Honestly, I cannot tell you what happened between them. Only what Hoseok told me," Namjoon replied.

"I understand. I asked her but she did not want to tell me," he said and closed his eyes. Maybe it was time to stop interfering in her life.

"I will ask Jin what happened."

"No," Jungkook started, "I think we should stop interfering in this."

"Are you sure?" Namjoon replied, "I want them to be successful-"

"They have to stand on their own two feet," Jungkook said and stood up. "I am not going to beg or drag Yuna back there. She must do this on her own."

Namjoon wanted to argue that they needed to continue with this because both of them were blind and could not see what was in front of them. The look on Jungkook's face told him to keep his mouth shut. 

"Let us go back to the front. We should close for the day," Jungkook said defeated, he was going to lose the Meaty Way and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

*****

Jin could still taste her on his lips. He wanted to prove a point at the interview. He touched his left cheek softly with his fingertips. She had spirit and he would not deny that.

Why was he thinking about her? When he was alone, his thoughts would drift to their first encounter at the Meaty Way where she threw a jug of water at him. He chuckled to himself. That was the first moment, he realized that he liked her.

He climbed out of the elevator and walked to his car. He was surprised to see that it was her at his company. He was not going to tell Namjoon this, but he wanted to create an encounter to see her again.

Scratch that.  He did not want her to play in the movie - he shook his head. His thoughts were jumbled up together. He did not know his thoughts anymore. He took a deep breath. Calm down, Jin. You should clear your mind of this girl, she means nothing to you.

He climbed into his car and drove home.

Yuna slammed the door behind her after she fiddled for her apartment keys. It was quiet. She ran to her room and opened the drawers where her mother 'had' placed some of her posters. She took them with trembling hands, her eyes struggled to focus and she went to sit on her bed.

The first poster was of Seokjin smiling slightly with his hands making a heart shape. She remembered when the movie came out 'My girlfriend is a geek' she had loved it. It was also the last movie he starred in before his company needed his attention.

"Have you always been a jerk?" She asked the poster. "Or did something change?"

She knew it was stupid to ask a poster who couldn't answer back. She placed the rest of the pack down and traced the poster. She was going to end this dream of hers, right here and now. She placed her thumbs and index fingers on top, beginning to tear it slowly.

She hadn't noticed the tear that rolled down her cheek. Her dream it was-her phone started ringing and her body jolted. Who would be calling at this time? She jumped up from the bed in search of her cell.

She found her cell in the living room where she had dropped her bag near her front door. "Hello?" she answered uncertainly.

"Miss Jung! It is Hoseok from-"

"I know who you are. How did you get my number?"

"Let us not get into minor details," he replied cheerfully, "I have good news. You are one of our finalists and we would like you to come back on Monday."

Yuna almost dropped her cell. Wait...what? They want her to come back? She bit her lip inwardly and her thoughts trailed back to Jin and how he behaved.

"Miss Jung?"

"I do not think-"

"Please! Monday we need you there," his voice sounded desperate.

"I cannot. I am sorry. I am a teacher and my day-"

"After school then! Please, I will send a car to pick you up."

She closed her eyes. Did she want this? The answer is yes but to what cost? If they did cast her then she would have to give up her 'stable' day job.

Her mind was battling her heart, yet her heart was winning the battle. "I knock off at two."

"Excellent! I will make sure someone is there to pick you up."

The call ended and she placed her cell on the small table near the door. Only then did she notice that her parents were nowhere.

With a sigh, she returned to her bedroom and gathered her posters, and placed them back into the drawer.

She decided against tearing them up but she might want to later. She went into the bathroom to take a shower.

She felt exhausted after today's events and needed to rest if she wanted to feel refreshed for the upcoming week. She opened the hot water tap and watched as the steam rose.

Her thoughts wandered and she touched her lips. She could still taste him. He tasted of summer and promises but she knew better now.

*****

Jin saw the sliver gates of his estate come into view. Good, he was almost home. The gates opened when he draw near and he gave his security guard a small wave.

He was whistling as he drove up. His thoughts were cleared from the girl that he had kissed at his company and he felt-he stopped when he saw an unfamiliar car in his driveway.

He put the car in park and climbed out. It was a red mustang, he walked towards it when- "Jinny!"

That voice. That voice-his eyes widened as Minyu walked down the front doorsteps. Her heels clicked down on the marble.

He couldn't find his voice even when she placed his arms around his neck and placed a desperate but soft kiss on his lips.

"How I have missed you, my love."

This had to be a nightmare. He was dreaming and he needed to wake up. There was no way that Minyu was here and kissing him.

"Jinny? Baby?" she said uncertainly and took a step back and her thumb brushed his lips where her plum lipstick left a dark mark.

Finally, he found his voice. "Minyu, what...why are you here?"

"What a silly question babe," I live here with you remember?"

Jin pinched himself. So this was not a dream as he had hoped. The she-devil was here with him and- "You left me remember?"

"Left you? Why on earth would I leave you? We had a quarrel and I forgive you," she replied and kissed his cheek.

It was more than a quarrel or was she playing stupid? She had broken their engagement..."You broke off our-"

She pressed a finger against his lips and smiled. "I was only angry. I did it out of anger but you know how much I love you."

Jin's thoughts were sorting through the memories and what was said but his heart was winning the argument and he pulled her towards him and kissed her.

This is not the same. This is not her, her lips tasted of spring and love like roses. Her lips were soft and-

He broke his kiss with Minyu. "I am sorry but I cannot do this. Please see yourself out."

"Are you breaking up with me?" Minyu asked distraughtly.

Jin was halfway up the stairs, he paused and turned to face het. "You were the one who ended us Minyu."

"Please Jin! I am sorry and I want to make it up to you!" She screamed in desperation and tears ran down her face.

Jin watched and a thought crossed his mind. Was she acting or were her tears real? There was no telling with her.

With a sigh he said. "Give me some time."

Minyu's face perked up. "How much time?"

"I will let you know," he replied and entered his house. He leaned against the door when he closed it behind him.

This was an interesting turn of events. Minyu came crawling back to him and it happened after they found their new actress.

Was this a coincidence? He couldn't answer the question and he sighed. What was he to do? His heart still ached for her...

He made his way to his room when his cell rang. Hoseok's name flashed on the screen. "Hoseok. What do you want?"

He didn't mean to snap. But his thoughts were still sorting themself out.

"Sorry to bother you but we decided on three girls. They will be coming back on Monday."

Jin hadn't realized that he was holding a breath. Who did they call? Did they call her?

"Jin?"

"Ah, yes. Sorry. Three you say?" he asked but he felt his heart skipping a beat for the answer.

"Yes, three, and we will be seeing Miss Jung in the afternoon."

Miss Jung? Who was Miss Jung? Was she the last of the-he shook his head. Stop it! he scolded himself.

"Alright, I will be there."

"You better be!"

Jin heard the venom in Hoseok's sweet voice. He had lost the war when they had taken over but he would give them the chance to save him from ruin.
