Kim Seokjin is a lot of things. 
He is twinkling eyes, cherry smiles, summer warmth, blossom pink and a comforting scent. 
He is also dad jokes, broad shoulders, obnoxious-ear-shuttering laugh, long legs and annoyingly himself. 
But most importantly….
He is the man you are in love with. Also, the man who loves someone that isn’t you, will never be you. 
The realization, the acceptance, the constant reminder.. Everything is bitter. Far more bitter than the whiskey on the tip of your tongue. This brown liquid does nothing to numb your pain but you don’t complain, not when it has been your sole companion for most of the night of your company party. 
Even though your eyes are trained on your glass, you don’t miss the long steps that Seokjin takes to reach where you are sitting currently. 
Why does he always find you? Why does he go an extra mile to be nice to you? Why does he do all those things and make your heart flutter and make you fall more and more only to leave you stranded with your wants and desires because he is meant for someone else? 
You don’t have any answers. 
“She has been following me for the better part of the night!” Seokjin whisper-yells in your ear as he lowers himself down to sit beside you on a bar stool. You divert your eyes from the glass and look at him.. only to find his brown orbs boring into yours. But not the way you’d like. Not the way you want. 
He moves his eyeballs in a manner of gesturing the ‘she’ he just mentioned. 
It’s a new recruit. 
Her name must be Dan-ri or Dan-mi, you can’t quite recall. But what you can recall is that she has her eyes set on Seokjin from her very first day. 
You suppose, she doesn't know yet that Seokjin is taken. Wait till he drops the bomb and breaks another heart alongside yours. 
Your ears perk at the sound of her red heels clicking on the marble floor, a perfect set of white teeth flashing at the man for the umpteenth time in the evening.
Annoying. You take a sip from your glass.
"Mr. Kim, I thought you're gonna come back with your drink and we would have a dance!" Dan-ri or Dan-mi whines at her high pitched voice. 
You roll your eyes staring at another direction. 
"Ah- I would love to but I haven't gotten to spend time with my favourite colleague yet." Seokjin says, pointing at you. 
You smile at the girl, a fake one obviously.
"Oh?" Her eyes widen when Seokjin winds a hand around your shoulder, pulling you a little closer to his body. 
You want to run away far and far from this man. You want to put an end to this suffering but you can't help relaxing at his warmth. You melt in his embrace, putting your heart at ease, telling yourself 'just this once. I will distance myself afterwards.' again and again like chanting a mantra. 
"Am I interrupting something?" The girl is more determined than you expected her to be. She doesn't leave, rather settles herself down on the barstool right next to Seokjin's. 
Seokjin chuckles at her question, "It's not what you think, Dan-mi. Y/N is my favorite colleague cum one of my most favorite human beings. And I am engaged." 
The words pierce through your ears, hit your heart and break it into a thousand pieces all over again. Tears start prickling your eyes, so you shut them as tightly as possible. 
And suddenly you're in a flashback of your life.
After suffering from verbally and borderline physically abusive parents, a broken home, multiple failed relationships, failed attempts of being in love and being loved… you finally found yourself falling for a man who was already betrothed to someone else, who can't be yours no matter how many lifetimes you wait. 
Seokjin's embrace now feels too constricted, too hot to be comfortable anymore. So you break free. 
Jerking out of Seokjin's arms, you sit straight. But your actions (or disappointments) seemingly have no impact on him. 
He continues, "my fiancé and I have been in a relationship for 10 years now. Highschool sweethearts you know?" A sweet smile takes over his face, probably upon painting an image of his lover in imagination, "we're soon to be married." 
As soon as he finishes off, you stand up from your place, take your purse and utter a small bye to the man. 
This is too much and you can’t suffer any longer. Having your heart broken everyday with the reminder is one thing but him, sitting right beside you, gushing about his fiancé, while knowing nothing about your feelings towards him, hurts ten thousand times more. 
"Y/N! Wait! Let's go together. I'll drop you." You find Seokjin shouting as the distance between you two increases bit by bit. 
You turn back for one last time, facing him, you part your lips and say, "not this time, Jin. It's better if I move on." 
You know he hasn't heard you, the music is on full blast and there's at least 5 hands of distance between you two.
But the words are for you to hear… more than anyone else.  
So, you take your steps forward and leave him behind for his good and mostly for yours.
