Jungkook stood at the massive window of his high-rise office in the RJJ building, gazing out at the bustling city below. The sun dipped low, casting golden rays over the skyscrapers, yet he felt a heaviness in his chest, a darkness that overshadowed the beauty outside. At thirty-two, he was a successful CEO of the largest company in the world, but his personal life was a tangled web of obligation and unfulfilled desire
His phone buzzed on the mahogany desk. He picked it up, seeing the name — Lisa, his office girlfriend. She was beautiful, ambitious, and always alluring, but deep down, Jungkook feared that her love was rooted in his wealth and status, not in his heart. He pressed the answer button, trying to shake off his worries
Lisa: "Hey, Jungkook," Lisa's voice sparkled through the speaker "Are we still on for dinner tonight?"
Jungkook: "Of course," he replied, forcing a smile he did not feel. The truth was, he wanted to scream. He wanted to tell her that every time he looked at her, he thought of Sushmita, his eighteen-year-old wife — the girl he had married under pressure from his parents, a girl he had not chosen but had inherited due to a business alliance. And now, she could not even see, an accident having taken her sight a year before their wedding
Lisa: "I can’t wait," Lisa said, her voice sweet. Jungkook hesitated, wondering if there was still time to get out of this mess "You’ll love the new restaurant. It’s exclusive, just like us."
Jungkook: "Yeah, exclusive," he murmured, the word echoing painfully in his mind. But he remained trapped in his gilded cage, unable to betray the relationship he had been forced into
Days drifted into weeks, and Jungkook often found himself stuck in a spiral of regret. Sushmita, with her soft voice and gentle nature, was a heartbroken soul. Having married him without a choice, she had been kept isolated, her parents’ political ambitions blinding them to her happiness. Jungkook would sit by her side, reading her stories while keeping his heart away, wishing he could turn back time
Next day at Jungkook mansion
Jungkook: he is sitting with Lisa while holding her and kiss her cheek you looking beautiful
Lisa: thank you babeee
