Chapter 42: Conversation
Jungkook looked down at Jimin and he could tell that the younger had puffy eyes from watching them earlier, then having to suck it up and serve their table. Jungkook just didn't expect that the couple would come to his place to dine. Jimin made a smile and patted Jungkook's arm.
"Hi, Jungkook!"
"Hm, Hello, welcome to the Kim's barbecue and grill out, I'll be your waiter for the night. If you need anything, let me know." Jungkook added and rested his eyes on Yun-se. "I haven't seen you in so long. How are you?"
"I could say the same thing to you! I've been doing great. So glad to finally meet you here." Yun-se added with a big smile as Jungkook turned his focus to Jimin and kept his stare at him while Jimin looked through the menu nervously. "It's like a big high school reunion! You stopped bullying, my Jimin, correct?"
Jungkook then cleared his throat and looked at Yun-se while the young woman gazed down at the menu. "No... and um... Your's?-" just then, Jimin slammed the menu down and cleared his throat a bit louder.
"I WOULD like to order!" Jimin raised his voice enough to signal the boy to knock it off.
"So soon? Alright." Jungkook then brought out his notepad and pointed his body towards Jimin. "What will it be, Mr. Park?"
"Mr. Park? That sounds so nice! Imagine if my name was Mrs. Park. Yet, my family doesn't really take last names, so I stick with Lee." Yun-se added as Jungkook smiled at the woman. At this moment, Jimin really couldn't tell if he was trying to be nice or just had enough of her so quickly.
"A-Ah, I would like grilled chicken, soy sauce to dip, side dishes of spicy stir-fried noodles, kimchi and a glass of soda please." Jimin answered as Jungkook noted it down while Yun-se looked through on what she would have.
"Hmm.. I guess I would have a glass of Soju, spicy kimchi stir-fried rice and scallion salad for the side dish. Thank you." Yun-se claimed as Jungkook noted it all down.
"Alright, I'll be right back." Jungkook said and as he moved away from the small section, he brushed his hand up Jimin's arm and patted him gently on the back just so Yun-se wouldn't think something else and just see it as two friends getting along. Yet, Jimin took this as warnings for at least a 'punishment' Jungkook would always threaten, but never do or even argue on how jealous he became.
"Soju?" Jimin asked to change the conversation as Yun-se laughed.
"Yes. I can handle it, you can't." The wife added on and made a giggle while Jungkook came back quickly to gather the menus silently and dash off. He didn't seem to be focussing well on his job because of Jimin.
"Oh, the two of you must be best friends now! High school rivals to close friends. I'm proud of the two of you managing to get along. Jungkook seems very different. It's like he has changed... I can't tell how or why but, I think it's his appearance! Puberty must've hit him like a truck!" Yun-se stated and looked at Jimin. "He must have a lovely girlfriend. If he does, we should all do double dates!"
"Girlfriend? No... Jungkook doesn't have a girlfriend."
"Wife?"
"No. Not that either. He has a boyfriend at the moment." Jimin claimed, just wanting to say it was himself but that would be the worst position to force himself into so suddenly!
"He's gay.. Wow, I never expected that. He used to make fun of you for liking ballet and having a feminine body back then. Turns out, he must've been the one who liked men from the start. Oh the irony." Yun-se chuckled and looked at he phone that was still turned off to avoid seeing Satan run in and ruin everything.
"Don't even try, Yun-se!"
"Ah, I was expecting a call from a friend. That's all." Yun-se sighed and set her phone back into her handbag. "Why do I fear my own Mother and father to the point where I do what they tell me to do? I'm a grown adult! I should be free to kick my Mother out of the house when she's uninvited."
"I don't blame you, I get scared of my parents too! But I guess they are just sitting in a rich house and counting the deals we've made. For once.. I'd like to talk to them or maybe talk to the real them without having to face the demons that sit on a golden throne." Jimin sighed and suddenly, he received a text from Seokjin indicating on tomorrow's agenda. "...Great..."
"Who... Are you texting?" Yun-se asked curiously since she couldn't have access to her own phone due to her crazy Mother.
"Seokjin texted me about deep sea diving practice tomorrow... I need to teach Jungkook since Yoongi already learned today." Jimin added as Yun-se tilted her head.
"Why couldn't you do it today? Didn't you go to work today?" Yun-se wondered and this made Jimin try his best not to panic or show that he was lying.
"T-The chief told Jungkook and I to... Help others find sponsors." Jimin managed to lie to his wife's face and make the woman nod her head, believing everything he said because again, she trusted Jimin with anything.
"I see. You'll be gone for so long again... Then my mother will bother..."
"We'll text and call, video chat too like last year!"
"You'll be gone for the new years... Three to six months? I won't see you until next year April!"
"Ah, I'm sorry... We just can't pick the days for departure. It's all on the Chief. Beggars can't be choosers."
"This is why... I think having a child would be nice. I'll have at least someone by my side other than friends that come and go and my own Mother." Yun-se then sighed as Jimin shook his head slightly.
"I can't have a child, you know I can't. Not that there's something wrong with me... I just don't want to be pressured. You know I don't like getting pressured to do things, Yun-se..." Jimin claimed and the wife understood.
After a while of waiting and talking about Jimin's trip to Cozumel, Mexico for his projects on Corals, Yun-se found the gleam on her husband's eyes when he would mention his team and most importantly, Jungkook himself. Yet, the woman kept her mouth shut and smiled when Jimin would bring up a time when Jungkook did something insane.
"Then he dropped the mixture onto his hands! He felt slight burns but just stood there!" Jimin laughed as Jungkook finally approached with a cart that held the tray of dishes the two ordered.
"I hear you are talking behind my back?" Jungkook teased as he set Yun-se's dishes down first. Filling the table with hot and peppered flake, spicy kimchi stir-fried rice that had vegetables within the rice like the slices of kimchi, small bite sizes of beef, potatoes chopped up and just within the spicy and red dish of stir-fry. Jungkook set down the bottle of Soju, an empty glass and a cup of soda that had ice floating from the tip of the cup he handled with care. The boy set down a side dish of scallions that looked clear and sprinkled with pepper above the side dish.
"I was just talking about how you had some of the mixture on your hand." Jimin added as Jungkook smiled and pushed up his glasses, now placing Jimin's food before him. The boy placed down the plate of two grilled chicken that had grilled lines along the top showing how it was cooked to perfection, the inside was tender and the white meat was hot. To give it more flavor, there was lemon squeezed above the chicken and pepper sprinkled above it like the scallions. There was bitter soy sauce to dip pieces of the chicken, spicy, red stir-fried noodles and kimchi next to it too.
"Alright, is there anything else I could get for you both?" Jungkook asked as Yun-se shook her head.
"Oh there's nothing! Thank you so much for serving us! Oh! and Jimin told me you have someone special. He must be really lucky to have you!" Yun-se complimented as Jimin fixed his glasses and looked up at Jungkook.
"Fuck... Why..?" Jimin thought as Jungkook let out a chuckle and looked at Jimin.
"Oh you're correct! I do. Thank you. You must be really lucky to have Jimin, tell me, when do you both plan on having kids?" Jungkook asked as Yun-se smiled so happily, enjoying the conversation, yet Jimin knew what Jungkook was doing.
"Not now, but maybe soon?" Yun-se answered as Jungkook nodded his head and rolled his tongue along his cheek.
"Soon... Hm? I-"
"E-Excuse me... I'm going to the restroom." Jimin added as he excused himself and walked off, leaving Yun-se with the possessive boyfriend.
Jungkook licked his lips and looked down at Yun-se. "Well, I'll leave you to eat. Love to stop and chat, but I need to get back to work." Jungkook said so respectfully as Yun-se nodded.
"Alright, thank you!" The woman added as Jungkook pushed the mini cart away and he could see Jimin walking to the restroom that was close by the employee lounge. There was a turn around the corner and Jungkook knew, Yun-se wouldn't be able to see by there so, Jungkook placed the cart back into the kitchen and patted another waiter on the back.
"Hey, I'm going to the restroom right now. I'll be quick." Jungkook stated as the waiter gave him the thumbs up to go to the restroom.
Jungkook walked out of the kitchen swiftly, trying not to get caught by a customer that needed something as he walked into the male restroom where Jimin has already stepped into. Lucky for him, as soon as he walked in, Jimin was the only one there. Jungkook gazed at Jimin standing in front of the mirror like he was waiting for Jungkook to leave the table so he could go back and eat, but little did he know, Jungkook followed after him.
"It's not polite to leave a lady alone at a table." Jungkook smirked as he stepped up to where Jimin was, making the older turn around quickly to look at the younger.
"You brat... Why would you ask that?"
"Because you wanted to say I had a boyfriend without pointing it to yourself. After the "talk" it wouldn't matter... Right?" Jungkook wondered as Jimin let out a sigh and looked down.
"I told you we shouldn't talk about this..."
"I'll respect that... But why did you come here? Out of all the places.. You chose here." Jungkook asked and was close enough to look at Jimin in the eyes. Pressing the older against the walls of the restroom.
"Ah... It wasn't my fault... She chose this place." Jimin whispered as Jungkook smiled and rose his hand up to caress Jimin's face but the older turned his face away.
"My baby~" Jungkook whispered and slightly loosened his tie as Jimin rose his hands up to Jungkook's shoulders and softly pushed the boy away.
"C-Calm yourself... This is a public bathroom. Almost anyone can walk in here and watch me kiss you then walk out there to sit with Yun-se.." Jimin claimed as he fixed his glasses and moved a bit further away. "I'll see you at work tomorrow... Okay? I have to teach you deep sea diving. Don't forget that."
"Noted..." Jungkook said as he watched Jimin walk out of the bathroom. Leaving the younger to stare at Jimin's body right when he left and bite his bottom lip, fixing his black tie after loosening it up with dirty thoughts. "I'll just save it for tomorrow~"
