Sana was on the top floor alone again. Ever since she was given permission, it had became her habit to spend at least 1 hour here every night just to watch the stars and clear her mind. However, the recent turn of events made it difficult for her to enjoy any free time. For one, Sana just straight out told Jungkook that she was guilty and if he chose to report her, she'd end up in jail. Despite not being a good liar, Sana thought her direct confession was a terrible move. She had to give it to Jungkook though. His dominant presence temporarily clouded her better judgement. Not to mention the things he did...

Sana frowned, an unpleasant feeling crept into her stomach upon remembering the earlier conversation she had this afternoon.

Flashback:

- "Hey, you're Sana right?"
Sana turned to the owner of that voice. Judging from the maid uniform, the girl was one of her fellow co-workers.

- "Yes. And you are...?"

- "Yeonjung is the name". - She was wearing a secretive smile, arm crossed. - "I heard you kissed master Jungkook in his reading room the other day."

Sana frowned. Words sure travelled quickly around here.

- "Well, can't really blame you though." - Yeonjung shrugged. - "Our boss is quite a catch eh? Bet you ain't the only one that tried to seduce him."

- "I didn't..."

- "Poor thing." - She cut Sana off, a look of pity crossed her face. - "You better wake up before getting your heart broken into millions of pieces."

- "I don't..."

- "I mean, you know master Jungkook is engaged right?"- Yeonjung rolled her eyes. - "Of course you do! It's all over the news."

Sana bit her lips. No, she wasn't aware of Jungkook's engagement because she had never been the type to keep up with the latest updates and gossips. A heavy weight tugged at her conscience. Had Sana known, she probably would have tried harder to avoid his advances.

- "Though, I gotta say you're really something." - Yeonjung scanned Sana up and down. - "Going after miss Chou Tzuyu's fiancé like that, you have guts."

'Chou Tzuyu?' - The name sounded oddly familiar...

Right! Sana remembered Nayeon bringing Tzuyu up quite often since the girl was her best friend's "celebrity crush". According to Nayeon, Chou Tzuyu was one of the most sought-after models, highly praised for her exotic beauty and amazing proportions. Moreover, Tzuyu's family was rich and powerful - with her father being a police general, mother being the founder of a popular multi-million cosmetics chain and grandfather being a renowned prosecutor.

- "You wouldn't stand a chance."

End Flashback.

- "You're here."

'Speaking of the devil...'

Jeon Jungkook was sitting next to her, in his casual white tee shirt and faded ripped jeans, gazing at the night sky above. Sana didn't even notice him coming in because she was too busy zoning out.

- "I've been looking for you."

Sana raised an eyebrow.

- "...What for?"

Jungkook glanced at her, a smirk adorned his handsome face.

- "We're going on a trip."

That was unexpected.

- "Why?"

- "The others and I need someone to cook and clean during our stay. There'll be extra pay."

Sana sighed. She wasn't sure if that would be a good idea, considering what happened between Jungkook and her recently.

- "I don't..."

- "It's an order by the way."

Typical Jungkook. Past experiences taught her that there no point in arguing with him once he decided on something. The guy could be as forceful and stubborn as haywire fire. Come to think of it, he did mentioned that there would be other people as well and her duty was pretty much the same.

- "Alright. When are we leaving?"

The corner of his lips curved up slightly.

- "Tomorrow, 9AM."

———

They were sitting next to each other on Jungkook's car, heading to his friend's beach house. The ride was awkward because neither of them had anything to say.

- "Talk."

- "Hm?"

- "I hate awkward silence."

Sana raked her brain for a topic. To be honest, she also found the utter quietness unnerving.

- "What's your hobby?"

- "Listening to music & playing video games. Recently I'm into bowling too." - He answered monotonously. - "You?"

- "Stargazing and lighting scented candles."

Jungkook snickered.

- "Lighting scented candles?"

- "It's calming." - Sana smiled. - "They are pretty and smell good."

- "Like you." - He mumbled.

- "...Pardon?"

- "It's nothing." - Jungkook averted his eyes. He mentally kicked himself over for saying such a cringey cheesy line out loud. Good thing that his voice was low enough for her not to catch on.

- "By the way, how many people would be there?" - Sana asked. Since she was in charge of preparing meals, it would be better to have an estimation beforehand.

- "Including us, 10 in total."

- "Alright." - Sana never cooked for that many people as she was used to living alone but hey, there was a first for everything. - "Are all of them your friends?"

- "Only 3 of them are. The others are more like acquaintances."

- "I see."

Speaking of friends, Sana wondered how Nayeon was doing. The last time they met was at that elite party, before the whole kidnapping incident happened. She hadn't able to contact Nayeon neither, since she didn't have a phone nor any social media account.

- "Are you still in school?"

- "Not really. I'm saving up for tuition." - Another reason why she didn't refuse this job offer. - "You?"

- "I'm attending BigHit Academy."

- "That's impressive."

BigHit Academy, also known as the most prestigious media and performing arts school in South Korea. They only accept rich and outstanding students.

- "Actually, I only got in due to my sport achievements, not for my academic records."

- "You play sports?"

- "Yea. I do some taekwondo, archery and track & field."

No wonder why Jungkook seemed so fit. To be honest, his great physique and hard muscles made him somewhat more manly and attractive. Though Sana wasn't checking him out on purpose, it was simply her objective observation when they...

- "Anyway." - She coughed. - "I've heard many great stories regarding BigHit Academy."

He shrugged.

- "It's not all that great, whatever rumors might say. You'll see when you study there."

Studying at BigHit? It'd be nice, if only Sana could afford to...

- "I wouldn't know though. The tuition is too expensive for me."

- "They give out 2 full scholarships every year. You can try applying."

- "I'll think about it." - She nodded. - "Thank you for the information."

Sana secretly observed Jungkook out of the corner of her eyes. He was gazing ahead, seemingly immersed in his own thoughts. She silently mulled over the fact that despite his nonchalant tone, he was being rather nice to her. In fact, it wasn't the first time neither. He was also kind enough to comfort her when she had a breakdown at the wedding party. Admittedly Jungkook might be quite rude and intimidating at times, perhaps he wasn't as bad as people made him out to be afterall.

They mostly stayed silent for the rest of the ride but this time, the atmosphere wasn't filled with tension anymore.

- "Master Jungkook, miss Sana." - The young chauffer respectfully addressed and opened the door for them. opening . - "We're here."

He opened the car door for them. Sana stepped out and took in the refreshing air. She was glad to be out in the nature after being swarmed by the busy Seoul life style for more than a month.

However, her good mood was soon replaced by something else.

'Kim Taehyung?'
