No Trespassing!
As they open their phones, the two girls are ready to express their hatred toward you and Jimin on social media.
The owner comes over and says, "Excuse me?" They look up from their phones, and he continues, "I need you both to leave my restaurant."
They stare at him, saying nothing. He says, "Now, ladies."
Gigi says, "What? Why? We haven't even gotten our food yet."
Her friend defiantly tells the owner, "We are not leaving till we get our food." She sits back, crossing her arms over her chest, and Gigi does the same.
The owner tells the girls, "Leave now."
They pout at him as they firmly reposition themselves in the chairs. Gigi says, "Not until we get our food. We are paying customers, and you don't have the right to make us leave."
He pinches the bridge of his nose and presses his lips tightly close. Taking a deep breath, he lets it out and then says, "I am warning you to leave now and not return to my establishment again, for if you do, I will press trespassing charges against you. Do I make myself clear?"
He looks at each girl in turn waiting for them to comply. Still, they resolutely sit there, glowering at him.
He calls over a robust waiter and says, "Please escort these two off the premises." He looks at the girls and adds for emphasis, "For the last time."
The waiter smiles, happy to do so. Shocked, they start to protest, and the owner says, "I'm warning you both: if you ever come back, I will call the police. Is that understood?"
The robust waiter takes each girl by the arm and walks them out the front of the restaurant to the sidewalk.
"You both pushed your luck one too many times. Don't come back, or the next time we have to make you leave, it will be in handcuffs," he says as he releases them with a slight push on their arms from the restaurant.
He leaves them just standing there staring in shock, speechless, as he re-enters the restaurant.
Since the food ordered by you and Jimin and the food ordered by the girls have yet to make it to the table, the owner has bagged the food and had it delivered to a needy family he has been assisting.
Walking down the sidewalk, Jimin notices your silence and holds your hand, saying, "Please don't let those two get to you."
Not looking up at him, you say, "But you could have had lunch with them. They are so much prettier than me. I would have been okay getting back on my own."
Jimin chokes down an angry reply, understanding that he is not upset with you. He takes a deep breath and relaxes.
He says, "Princess, you're beautiful on the inside and the outside. They are ugly on the inside, which also makes them ugly on the outside. Don't compare yourself to them."
He wipes a tear that had fallen down your cheek. "To me, you are the most beautiful woman I've met."
You blush and say, "Thank you, Jimin." You look up at him with a smile on your face.
He smiles back at you, "That's my girl." He squeezes your hand before putting his arm around your shoulder. "Let's go find something good to eat. I'm starving now."
You both laugh as your tummy rumbles.
You reach another restaurant that Jimin likes to go to, and he holds the door open with one hand as he gently guides you with the other on your lower back. The comfort and safety you feel when he does this builds your confidence that he must genuinely care for you.
The hostess greets him with a polite bow. "Mr. Park, it's great to see you again."
You are led to a private table screened off from the rest of the restaurant. Jimin looks at the waitstaff and asks, "Champagne?"
She replies, "Yes, Mr. Park." She hurries away to inform their *Sommelier.
You giggle. "Champagne?"
Jimin smiles at you, "Why not? We are celebrating our first date, and I hope many more will follow."
You feel yourself blush, "Our first date?"
He charmingly smiles, adding, "And many more to come." You swear there is a twinkle in his eye.
You're feeling giddy and haven't even had any Champagne yet. "I would like that."
You never thought love would ever find you. You look adoringly at Jimin and think, 'And yet here I am.'
Jimin knows the look in your eyes and asks, "What are you thinking, Ailie?"
The owner, Mr. Kim, arrives at your table in place of the Sommelier with a chilled bottle of Jimin's favorite champagne, breaking the spell woven around you and Jimin.
"It's good to see you, Mr. Park." He bows to you and smiles, "Welcome."
Jimin says, "Thank you, Mr. Kim, it is good to see you too."
Mr. Kim informs Jimin, "Mr. Cho called and told us what happened. He figured you would come here. Lunch is on us today."
Jimin says, "Oh, there is no need for that. I will take care of it. What happened at his restaurant was not his fault or yours."
He bows to Jimin, "Then the champagne is on us. Enjoy your lunch."
Jimin smiles, "Thank you."
Mr. Kim bows and leaves, drawing the partition closed, leaving you and Jimin to enjoy your lunch peacefully.
But you experience more than peace having lunch with Jimin.
