You're Y/N, secretary to Mr Jeon the CEO of Jeon Corporation. Mr Jeon falls ill, leaving his two sons Jin and Jungkook to take over the business.
What happens when Y/N starts to fall for them both? Who will she pick?
It is a cruelty of life that a heart can keep on beating even after it has been broken in two. It can feel as though it is being gripped in an ice-cold vice and ache as if it will implode in your chest, but still the boom-boom continues.
When Jungkook first left I would describe my heartache as like an insatiable fire that burnt all the oxygen in my body leaving me listless and empty. But now it is more like a thin layer of ice, cooling my insides, a gentle reminder of the pain that came before and a warning not to stoke that fire again. They say once bitten, twice shy, but I think for me it's more like forever shy. I can't see myself putting my heart out there again, I don't think it can survive another inferno.
He was back.
The nausea swirled unrestrained in my empty stomach. My head swam with half-formed regrets. My heart felt as if my blood had become tar as it struggled to keep a steady beat. My melancholy mood hung over me like a black cloud, raining my personal sorrow down on me.
I bite my tongue, trying to hold the tears that threatened to leave my eyes. And that's when I can't hold them back. First, one small crystal bead escapes from my right eye. I can feel the warmth, sliding down my cheek, and rolling off my chin. Then another. And another. Until my eyes flood with them, coming like a rainfall. Sniffing every ten seconds, they fall, and fall, and I let them.
When my eyes met his cold ones for the first time in twelve months all the love that my heart had tried so hard to bury down deep broke through that thin layer of ice surrounding my heart, he still looked so beautiful but there was something so different about him.
His hair was slightly longer and there was a maturity to him that hadn't been there when he left for Tokyo, he wasn't just a boy anymore he was a man.
There is no perfect lover, we are all flawed, but knowing those flaws and still loving with all your heart creates perfect love. I know now standing here as the tears fall after he didn't even utter a single word to me before leaving that I'm still hopelessly in love with Jeon Jungkook.
"Y/N....please talk to me." I felt Jin's fingers tug on my shirt and then felt the guilt eat away at me.
Jin had been exactly what I needed after Jungkook left, he was so patient and understanding. I loved him with all my heart but deep down knew it was a different kind of love, it was the kind of love one best friend feels for another. I don't regret my decision to start a relationship with him, he made me happy and helped me to move on but my heart couldn't give him what he so desperately wanted.
I felt sick, I hated this feeling. Jin deserved so much better yet here my selfish ass was....crying in the middle of his kitchen after watching the man my heart belongs to walk away without so much as a smile or a hello.
I felt a finger press gently under my chin and finally my watery eyes met Jin's concerned ones, even now they were filled with so much love for me that my guilt only grew more intense. I didn't want to hurt him, I honestly tried so hard to feel for him what he did for me. I knew eventually Jungkook would come back but never expected to feel this way, I thought I was over him but I guess I managed to fool myself yet again.
"Baby go upstairs and calm yourself down, I'll finish the dinner and bring you a bowl." Jin wasn't a stupid guy, I could tell from the look he was giving me and the tone in his voice that he knew exactly why I was crying yet he was still treating me like a princess. I didn't deserve it, I didn't deserve him. I shook my head and kissed the palm of his hand that was resting against my cheek.
"No, you've been working all day. I'll finish dinner, you go and take a shower." I hated the fact my voice cracked, I was trying so hard to keep my emotions in check.
"Y/N...." His tone changed to a stern one, this was when I knew it was pointless to argue with him. "I think you need some time alone, please go and get yourself together. I'll bring you food.....please princess." His thumb gently gathered my tears and wiped them away, I gave a nod and raised up on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek.
"I'm sorry." I whispered to him.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it once I bring your food up." He smiled and gently kissed my lips. "I'll be up in a minute, go and rest."
I gave a nod, the guilt only growing as I walked away from him.
My entire body felt numb as I climbed the stairs and began making my way to Jin's room, I didn't know what to feel or what to do. I felt so powerless and hated myself for allowing my emotions to get the better of me, why after all this time did he still make me feel this way.
I felt his eyes on me, I always knew when he was staring. It's like my body was connected to his, our minds molded together. I lifted my head, our eyes met.

I opened my mouth, I wanted to say something but didn't know what. I couldn't understand why his eyes seemed to be full of tears, he was the one who left me and didn't even bother to speak a word for a year. It didn't make sense, he shouldn't be angry about this and he certainly shouldn't care.
"Jungkook...." I finally managed to speak, his name sounded so small when it left my parted lips. I cursed myself for sounding so weak and fragile, I couldn't even look at him anymore as my head dipped down.
I felt my heart race as he moved closer, through the tears that still continued to fall I could make out the blurry image of his bare feet as he reached me.
I inhaled sharply as his fingers brushed against my chin and pushed my head up, a whimper left me as his eyes met mine.

I wanted him to kiss me, I wanted to tell him all the things my heart desired but then my mind flickered to Jin and how he didn't deserve to be hurt in such a way. I knew Jungkook could sense my reluctance, I knew he understood what was running through my head as the same thing was running through his.
"Go before I do something we both regret." His voice wavered, it was filled with emotion but I couldn't decipher which. I was so confused, he left me....he was the one who didn't want me so why was he acting this way.
"Welcome home." I managed to force myself to say before turning away and heading to Jin's room, my heart pounding against my chest....hands shaking as they reached for the door.
"I missed you babygirl." He whispered and my heart broke all over again. I paused by the door, knuckles turning white from the pressure I applied on the handle. I wanted to turn around, I wanted to tell him the same but couldn't. I opened the door and stepped inside.
