Chapter 26
Enjoy 💜
—————————————————————————-
"Honeycake" was absolutely beautiful to Jin. The interior was tastefully decorated with different floral patterns and decorative items. The inside was decently large but they were apparently being seated on the second floor.
There were multiple people waiting outside to get into the fancy and elegant establishment in their best attire. The music playing in the background soothed him and made Jin feel very comfortable.
A waiter came and began to escort them upstairs to the second floor of the establishment. Everything was marble with florals everywhere. It was a bit chilly though for Jin's liking.
They were sat at a round table with white tablecloth and a beautiful large floral centerpiece in the middle. This place was absolutely breathtaking to Jin.
Jin sat in between Namjoon and Taehyung, Jungkook next to Taehyung and Jimin, who was next to Yoongi who was next to Hoseok who was next to Namjoon.
Jin observed the other guest sitting around them. They were all rich and having light conversations. Some business meetings seemed to be going on, some guest sat alone and others were getting a bit loud due to the bottomless mimosas.
While he could afford it, Jin never fancied or frequented places like this. He preferred smaller family restaurants or his own personal cooking over large restaurants like this that were meant for people with a higher standard of living. But Jin wouldn't complain, he loved food and was willing to try most anything.
Soon the waiters came and poured complementary mimosas along with cold water for each of them while another began to hand out menus. The two waiters bowed and one declared they'd be back soon to take orders.
Jin looked over the menu and saw all sorts of foreign foods that sounded great. He glanced over at everyone else at the table. Yoongi and Jimin were silently deciding on what to get while Jungkook, Taehyung and Hoseok seemed to be discussing what meals to get so they could share. Namjoon hadn't even glanced at the menu yet, he was typing away on his phone with a serious look on his face.
Jin looked back down at his menu and ultimately decided on an Africa/Middle Eastern dish called shakshuka. It was a tomato and egg dish that came with a side of steamed rice, bread and steak.
Namjoon finally put his phone down and let out a quiet sigh. He picked up his menu and eyed the selections although he knew he'd end up getting the same dish he always gets. An Eggs Benedict.
Jin had been subtly observing Namjoon. His posture was always straight, he looked like his guard was always up and like he could never properly relax, his mind always somewhere off in the distance like he had to calculate his every move, his tense nature made Jin feel tense too.
Namjoon finally decided to acknowledge Jin's "subtle" glances by turning his head towards him.
"Is something bothering you, Seokjin?" Namjoon asked. Jin jumped and let out a light laugh. "Sorry, just observing. Do you know what you're ordering?" Jin asked politely. "My usual, an Eggs Benedict. It's the only thing I get from here." Namjoon answered honestly. "Why? They've got plenty of great options." Jin responded. "I know but I don't come here often and like to order items I'm familiar with. I'm sure the food is good, I just don't like stepping outside my comfort zone." Namjoon explained.
Before Jin could properly analyze and respond to what Namjoon had said, a waiter came up to him and asked for his order.
The waiter went around the entire table taking in everyone's order and scurrying back to the kitchen.
"So Mr.Seokjin, tell us about yourself. We've heard some details about you from Tae but I'd like to hear more from you." Hoseok spoke out loud towards Jin. "I'm afraid there's not much to say about myself unfortunately. I'm a doctor, I live alone and binge TV shows during my free time." Jin answered. He was still pretty nervous still about meeting everybody and really interacting with them and felt pretty small in comparison to everyone surrounding him despite him very easily being one of the tallest there.
"Oh please! Jin's just being humble. He's a surgeon who has saved multiple lives, including mine's obviously. He cooks really well and is super nice." Taehyung said while pulling Jin close.
Jin was taken aback by Taehyung's sudden outburst and he could feel his ears going red.
"Thank you Taehyung but I'm really not all that.." Jin said back. "You shouldn't be so humble Seokjin. You've worked hard to get where you are and you've got a lovely personality to pair with your work ethic. I've witnessed your kindness first hand. It's hard to deny such a prominent part of yourself." Namjoon said very casually while giving a slight glance towards Jin. "I'm glad you two feel so strongly about me in that way. It's reassuring to hear, I'd rather hear about the rest of you though. You all lead such interesting lives I'm sure." Jin said trying to divert the attention off of himself.
"I'll go first if you don't mind. As you know my name is Jung Hoseok. In our humble little "company" you could call me the chief of staff. I'm essentially Namjoon's right hand. If you got a problem just come to me anytime and I'll solve it." Hoseok said cheerfully. Jin could tell under his genuine cheery persona was a guy who wasn't to be messed with.. but not in a dangerous was like Jin thought.
"I'm Park Jimin, the financial officer. Not too much to say about me I suppose but I'm really excited to get to know you Jin." Jimin said with a smile. Jin could tell Jimin was a sweetheart with a soft spot for the people surrounding him. It made Jin feel comfortable.
"I wanna go!" Jungkook shouted. He knew Jin had already knew him pretty well but he wanted to feel included. "I'm Jeon Jungkook. Tae's handsome boyfriend and head of security." Jungkook beamed. Jin could tell Jungkook was growing more comfortable with him which made him happy.
"What was the point of reintroducing yourself if he already knows you?" Jin turned towards Yoongi he hadn't really heard from. He was slouched and kind of curled into himself like he couldn't get comfortable enough. "I just wanted to feel included hyung.." Jungkook whined. "Mmhm. Anyways Im Min Yoongi, the weapon's specialist. I can get you a gun." Yoongi said but kinda muttered the last part. His voice was gruff and tired. He didn't seem mean or anything, just kind of anti social but Jin was okay with that. People need time to come out of their shells.
"My turn. I'm Kim Taehyung, I have multiple positions like foreign affairs, negotiating and an informations officer." Taehyung said gleefully. He leans past Jin to look at Namjoon. "It's your turn Hyung. You have to do it too." Taehyung said.
Namjoon slightly rolled his eyes and put his phone on the table. "I'm Kim Namjoon and I have many positions but my most important one is my roll as the Boss." Namjoon said calmly. His voice sent shivers up and down Jin. He could feel the pride seeping out of his mouth and in his tone when he mentioned his role as the boss.
Jin didn't know how to describe it in that moment but he felt something towards the men he sat at the table with. He felt included in a way despite them having just introduced themselves. They felt so trustworthy. He didn't know why but he could feel it. Maybe he was going crazy but in that moment, he never felt so at home.
