"Jeon~~", you bumped your shoulder to his, "I bought something for you."

"Let me guess", Jungkook tapped on his chin, as if thinking, "Tickets to Justin Bieber concert?"

You sullened instantly, "Wish I could but...", reaching at your back pocket you retrieved a small box.

You handed him the box and observed.A frown setting on his lips turned into a big O on opening the box.

It contained a pair of John Mayer and Taylor Swift picks.

As if it wasn't enough, Jungkook apparently got blown away when he noticed the artists' signatures, inked, at the back of the respective picks.

Before he could speak you snatched the Taylor Swift pick, "That's mine."

"Wait these are from the limited concert edition, where did you get these?"

"Say 'Thank you Angel for gracing your presence in my life', then I'd consider about disclosing the source."

Jungkook didn't even blink and repeated, "Thank you Angel for gracing your presence in my life. Now tell."

You laughed.

Jungkook stared, too dazed.

"I saw a man, selling these items on my way to cafe. I bought a Harmonica played by John Popper for Yoongi, a signed Son Heungmin jersey for Jimin--  "

"How much did these cost? A Fortune? You gave away all your savings?", he scolded, "And you bought something for all of us?"

"Jeon, it was all really cheap. Like he was handing them out free.", you nodded when he looked at you, "I was also skeptical but he seemed genuine plus I checked, they're not fake, see the issue number at the bottom."

"Looks like you hit a jackpot. Take me there next time, I wanna meet this extra-generous yet suspicious man.", Jungkook gruffed, "Be careful, don't just roam around while going to work. So naive for a independent girl you are."

You stuck out your tongue at him before running away as he followed you with a big smile on his face.

Not much far, sitting on a bench, Seokjin was observing you both while he removed the hat and a thick rimmed glass from his eyes.

"Woah, so much of effort.", Taehyung chimed from beside, his gaze set on you.

"She has been so absolutely in love with that tall, blonde and gorgeous, I wanted to give her those articles, considering how generous she is and it's not for free. She paid me though.", Seokjin defended himself and huffed, "I don't need to explain my actions to you!!"

"Yeah, then stop following me like a pup everywhere.", Taehyung laughed.

The atmosphere shifted.

Taehyung had frozen the time.

"Why do you always--", Seokjin turned to side and halted on his words.

"Is all of this worth it?", Taehyung simply asked. They had shared banters and spells on each other but this question hung like a heavy weight between them both.

Seokjin let out a exaggerated laugh and his eyes pooled with fresh tears, "It has to be, after everything we went through. And I'm praying that a silly mistake in my spell would not cause any trouble."

Taehyung nodded, "But if she remembers, you'll be--."

"Doesn't matter. I want her to give the ending she deserves."

"I'll see what I can do, Jin."

"Thanks."

And Seokjin meant it.

"Something's wrong with Hoseok.", Sasha complained, "He seems all of a new person."

"What do you mean?"

"For the past week, I haven't heard him joke or laugh. He's carrying seriousness around  himself and that's very odd.", she added.

You thought for a moment before speaking, "Maybe job stress?"

"No Y/N.", she sighed, "He's agitated and seems he's angry at everyone including me."

"That's strange.",you hummed, "Give him space. And see if he changes or we need to consult a doctor because...", you gasped dramatically, "Hoseok is our Vitamin. He need him to survive."

"I know right. What happened to my sweet boyfriend?"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"Yeah."

That night you had a dream and by the time you woke up, you forgot what you saw. But the scar on your chest was throbbing again.

You had a faded scar on the left side of your chest since birth. Which was known only to your parents and aunt. Your mother believed it was a birthmark while your aunt never uttered a word regarding it.

Whenever you woke up with the paining scar, you never remembered the dream but your hunch said it was a reoccurring one. Something that felt surreal.

Someone you should have never forgotten.

Someone you had no way to remember.

After the shift ended, Jungkook decided to satiate his craving for corndog and stopped by a stall on the street.

And he saw Claire beside where he stood, looking at him astonished.

"Hi...", she initiated timidly, waiting for his wrath or a walk away in response. But he just stared at her.

"Can we talk?", she asked and he nodded. Both of them walked to a nearby ground and sat on a bench.

"How have you been?", Claire fiddled with her fingers nervously.

"What do you think? How I have been?", Jungkook glared at her, causing her to flinch.

"You know I haven't forgiven you. And I don't think I'd be able to forgive you ever, cause you broke me. Was it worth leaving me for him?", he asked lifting eyes to meet hers, "Does he love you more than I do?"

Claire took a deep breath, "What we had is not something comparable Kook. You can't be replaced, your importance, your contribution in my life will always be unmatched. I'd be ever grateful, you'd always be in my heart."

"Don't say anything that you don't mean.", Jungkook looked away, "If what you said was true you wouldn't have left me. Do you know how hard it was for me to settle in a life without you? There was nothing in my life, you weren't a part of."

"I'm sorry. I really, really am.", she sobbed, "But you need to understand that I have no control over my feelings. When I met him, it felt like I found the missing piece of my heart. If I stayed with you even after knowing him, then I would have been cheating on my real feelings."

"You--"

"You won't understand", she cut him off, "because you haven't met your soulmate yet."

"I have met my soulmate.", your smiling face flashed at the back of his mind, "Unlike you, unlike everyone, I don't feel anything for her. I didn't fall for her instantly. So I'd never believe in all these. I won't be surprised if you cheated on me with him. Admit that you just got bored of me and wanted a change--"

Claire slapped him hard across his face.

"Don't make me loathe you, Kook.", she spat out, "I don't care if you're insulting me. Just don't insult your soulmate, she doesn't deserve this. Stop being a jerk or you'll have to pay for it."

She got up,"My mistake, I thought, you'd be civil enough for a talk but no! I was transparent throughout our relationship and even when I left you, Jungkook. My feelings for you were genuine. Next time onwards, I'll pretend I don't know you. Goodbye."

Jungkook sat there quietly but not quiet far from there--

"That brat!! I'mma slap all his teeth out!! How dare he talk to her like that!!"

Seokjin needed to calm down...
