Lights shone around the area and shiny objects everywhere decorated with embroideries. Maroon curtains drawn near windows and doors giving a Royal like feel. Had white walls and high sealing. Filled with people, rich men in tuxedos and half naked sexy girls. Expensive suits and dresses. Laughter and cheering in some corners as they win a bet and sighs and muffled cries of regret in others as they lost all their wealth. Intense.

I was in one of the biggest casinos in South Korea owned and ran by my best friend Park Jimin.

Wasn't in the mood to go back home just to see the pale emotionless face of my wife.

I took a drink from a random waiter's tray who walked past me. The Casino had a big well maintained balcony upstairs with a nice view where I was walking through the excited crowd.

The balcony was huge and airy, refreshing. Surprisingly very calm and peaceful. A very nice view of Seoul in the darkness. The huge buildings looked beautiful decorated with star like small lights. The city looked alive. Other than me very few people were there.

I looked around and found Jimin waving at me from a corner as I walked up to him.

"You called me? You look sad man? What happened?" He inquired, concerned.

"It's about my wife."

We sat down across each other on cushioned sofas. "She's acting like a bitch." I clasped my hands and looked at Jimin, tensed.

"What?" Jimin arched one of his eyebrows, absolutely confused.

"She's not letting me fuck her. It's annoying." I groaned, "She doesn't talk with me. Like for God's sake, is she serious? She doesn't even freaking sleeps with me on the same bed anymore." I spoke, frustrated.

"I see." He whispered. "I guess you should talk to Prin. Talking always helps. Why don't you ask her what's wrong?" Jimin said looking up at me.

Jimin tried to be kinda motivating.

"You know it's not easy. Actually the thing's that she knows about the affair." I complained drinking my wine.

His voice trembled - "W-what? She knows about your affair with IU?" "How? When?"

I nodded, "Last time on Jungkook's party you remember, I came back home early leaving Prin there because IU was free but than Prin came home unexpectedly early. I was really pissed on her. She also tried to do a lot of drama but I shut her up. I knew shit like that was gonna happen even before the marriage."

In a pissed voice Jimin questioned me - "Ohmygod Taehyung how can you be so careless?! You have no idea how much this can affect your future. Why you married her in the first place I wonder sometimes if all you wanted was to fuck random girls?"

"It was not like I was going crazy to get married or something but my fucking Dad forced me to." I gritted my teeth thinking about my stubborn father, "All the time he was like marry her marry her marry her like the whole fucking day. I don't know what the fuck he saw in that poor bitch! I could have found a girl million times better than her!" I balled my fists almost punching my thigh.

Jimin was looking down at the ground with a very sad disappointed look, eyebrows furrowed.

"Now she's not letting me touch her. At start it was still okay but now like 24/7 she has that dead look on her face as if someone has died or something like girl come on your husband has returned from office, smile, lit up a bit, why you're fucking ruining his mood by acting like a fucking stone?!" I growled, Jimin was silent. "You're listening right? Jimin?" He nodded. "I don't know what to do? I even tried to turn her on but she started crying. I'm so mentally stressed because of her. Help me man! You're a master in such things. Tell me. What should I do?" I pleaded.

Just at that moment a waiter came and informed that some customers were calling for Jimin.

Jimin nodded and immediately stood up brushing invisible dust down his suit replying to me, "I don't know what to say. I'm not married ya know." I too stood up but Jimin didn't look up in my eyes, very silent then he lately was.

"But still please try atleast..." We slowly walked side by side. Jimin strolled looking straight while I turned my head towards him now and then giving him hopeful glances.

"I don't know... " Jimin stopped suddenly as he looked towards me, "I don't know what to say, I mean seriously how can you expect her to behave cheerful and all after she comes to know that you're cheating on her? Actually I'm very surprised that she still has her lips sealed about it and didn't ask for a divorce. Some other girl in her place and your name would have been on all the news channels as breaking news. I'm sure she might be madly in love with you to still try to save the crumbling down marriage of yours." Jimin said in a monotone voice looking at me with a sad face. I just frowned. Jimin, you too. I didn't expect this from you at least! His actions reminded me of Jungkook.

"It's okay if you don't want to understand this but still just an advice that cheating girlfriend is very different from cheating wife, cause it's not just a small dating thing, you have married her, she's legally your life partner, it's something you need to take seriously because it may affect the life and career of both you people, think a bit before doing something." He paused for a while putting his hands in his pant's pockets and then asked with a dead serious look, "Rather than acting horny all the time why don't you try to talk to her? I have met her before with Jungkook, she seemed like a nice girl. Why don't you try to know her? Spend some time with her? Maybe who knows you will discover a whole new different person. Maybe you may also fall for her. Otherwise... I. Don't. Know. You may... " He paused for a while and I was just looking at him with an unblinking stare. "regret afterwards when she would lose all hopes in you and leave." Jimin said with furrowed brows looking at me. He was going downstairs and I felt awkward.

"Jimin wait!" I hastily rushed downstairs and held his arm. He looked up at me. "I understood what you said. I'll try to improve. Now please don't ruin your mood like that." I spoke, concerned, "I was thinking lately. Wanna go hit on girls, like old times? It's been awhile." I spoke with a smile, cheerfully. I wanted to change the topic and improve his mood but hearing my words well, he frowned.

"I have stopped hitting on girls." He spoke with a straight voice, "What? Since when and why?" I was without words.

He smiled - "I'm getting married Taehyung." I suddenly a weird feeling in my chest.

"Wanted to keep that as a surprise actually." He mumbled and my jaw dropped. "What? Who?" My eyes widened. I was in shock.

"Eunbi." He answered with a weak voice giving away a small smile.

"What? But why? You said you'll never get married? That you'll never fall for a girl?"

His face lit up with a smile as he spoke with a soft tone -

"Guess, I'm in love now."

His words left me without words.

I was happy for Jimin, I pulled him in a manly hug. I couldn't believe that Jimin was getting married. He was in love? I felt an uncomfortable loneliness inside.

"I'll send you the invitation."

I patted Jimin on his back and pulled back, "So when all this happened?" I cheerfully asked.

"Just a few weeks ago, actually she saw me hitting on girls and broke up. Afterwards one night I was feeling kinda empty and realized that life kinda sucked without her. I realized I was actually in love with her and since I have never been in love that's why I never really noticed this that I liked her company more than any other girl, I had no idea how love feels like but now I know."

"Wow. Now that looks like a perfect fairy tale like story, prince charming. I still can't believe I'm actually very shook but I'm happy for you man! I really am!" We both chuckled lightly.

I jokingly exclaimed, "But seems like I don't have a Princess in my luck."

"Well... To get a Princess you gotta need to act like a Prince too you know."

I felt a tinge of sting in my chest.

"Anyways gotta leave now." Jimin smiled and left.

I silently stood there feeling kinda empty.

Jimin has changed so much in such a small time.

Well, his advice sounds helpful, I thought gulping my wine down my throat walking up the stairs. I stood against the balcony railing looking at the beautiful scenery of Seoul with a black sky and stars.

Am I capable to love someone?

A blurred memory came in my mind of my weak sixteen year self, confused, panicked, cheeks puffed up full of acenes asking my bestie Jimin, "How do you do it? How do you change girls so easily without falling for any of them? How?"

"It's easy. You just gotta need to keep the reality in your mind. The reality that no one wants you without an intention be it sexual or some other thing. You should never let your heart open up to others because they're not attracted towards your heart but your looks."

I groaned, "God! That sounds so harsh-"

''World is harsh Taehyung. Wake up! It's not a fairy land like we were taught in school. It never was. People just use others and the same girl who was hovering all over you last night won't take a sec to replace you with some other guy who she found attractive a moment ago. Nowadays before the heart people look at the face. You gotta need to remember the reality that they don't love you but your looks and talent and change girls as you like. If you're attractive than they'll worship you like a god or otherwise won't give a damn about your existence."

"Does that mean you're never gonna fall in love? I don't believe you."

"Yes, I swear I'll never fall for anyone because there's nothing like love in this world, true love is shit! Everyone freaking cheats on everyone. We can't trust anybody. Everyone is a villain acting like fairies."

And that was the start of my journey of becoming the master of hitting girls. Since that day I listened to Jimin and followed his ideology by heart, I locked my heart up, I never ever let me fall in love and now the same guy, my mentor is asking me to open up my heart to love? The same love which was nonexistent a few years back in his world, exists now?

The same guy who swore that he would never fall for anybody is now in love, is now getting married? He has changed so much, because of love I guess. Do I need to change too? Will I change too if I fall in love? Am I capable to love someone in the first place?

I whispered to myself looking at the sky and lights, "Act like a Prince huh? Looks like I'm the Villain, acting like the fairy here." I smiled to myself, "Not anymore I guess," I raised my wine glass up as I talked to an invisible entity, "If Jimin can than I can too! Cheers Princess! Congratulations! Seems like I have a change of heart."
