The classy restaurant was looking absolutely calming, with some music and good room fragrance. Less chatter, even in the busy evening. It wasn't called one of the top restaurants in Seoul for nothing. And due to its good reviews, privacy and security was also pretty good in that place.
Admist the rich people who were dressed in fancy, there were these two who were sitting at one of the seats on the beautiful rooftop restaurant which offered a serene and beautiful night view of Seoul city.
SeokJin who was awkward to talk with the female infront of him while the Actress Chae SooBin was looking shy to start a conversation but nevertheless
She took the courage to speak up after they placed their order for the night.
"Oppa...." She starts, which sounded way too cringey for her age, Jin raises his eyebrows while looking up at her, "Well um.....I saw the news today" she says tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, "Ahhh......sorry for not telling you, I wasn't ready to open up" he says running his finger across the mouth of the wine glass infront.
"It's not about your son, it's about us" her words confused him and he couldn't help but display a frown, "Sorry?" He raises his eyebrows looking at the female who was desperately trying to be on his good side and look cute and bubbly, "Why would you say no when the reporters asked if we were dating?" She says jutting her bottom lip out and looking down, "Cause we are NOT dating" he clarifies her dilemma.
"What do you mean we are not dating? Didn't you feel anything at our first date? I felt the butterflies but didn't you?" She asks worried that she might loose a man like him, "I'm sorry but ....look SooBin I was never ok with you out for a date in the first place, if it wasn't for Taehyung I wouldn't even meet you that day" he answers her with a stern gaze to which she gulps nervously.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" She asks faking few tears, "I didn't want to hurt you,I thought it was just a random blind date and we wouldn't be seeing eachother ever again" he says heaving a sigh and mentally cursing his Dongsaeng for sticking the girl to him, "But we can give eachother a try" she tries to plead.
"Look SooBin, I'm not interested in any relationship, all I want is a happy and safe future for my son, and I'm searching a mother for my son
Not a wife for myself, and as far as I've seen you, you are not correct for me" He declares his feelings after heaving a sigh at the desperate woman, "Why would you think so, I'm really good with kids, I really love them alot, I can be a good mother to your son, I....I can do it" she stutters looking at him with pitiful eyes.
"What's my son's name?" Jin asks calmly, "he.....Hwan?" She answers hesitantly, and immediately a smile creeps onto his face, "Thanks for inviting me on a dinner but I think I'm gonna leave now and yeah I think I've made myself clear so please get that inside your head that WE are not happening", Saying that Jin raises from his seat and walks away leaving a Sulky SooBin behind.
"I'm not giving up that easily, I can't loose just because of a brat
I will make you Mine Kim SeokJin, just wait" she mumbles to herself taking the wine glass from tabel and chugging it down in one go.
"Noona I wanna help you" the little boy says as he follows the lady in her cozy apartment,"No Hoonie, you're not yet ready to do this stuff, why don't you help me in drinking this Banana milk instead hm?" She says giving him a bottle of milk and cheers internally for succeeding in distracting the boy who was persistent to help her.
"Banana Milk yayyyy" the boy squeals before taking his seat at the couch in living-room and taking his lovely time to enjoy the beverage. Y/N shakes her head looking at the boy who was looking at his Banana milk like a prize with stars in his eyes. "You like it?" She asks while the boy nods his head vigorously making the elder chuckle at him. Since it was an open kitchen which have a full view of living-room beside she didn't worry about him getting out of her sight.
The pair reached y/n's apartment a while ago. Y/N got freshened up and got changed into her lounge wear and made Jihoon to get changed into one of her t-shirt which covered the boy fully and also helped him get rid of his tight clothes which he was
wearing since morning.
"Noona do you have a boyfriend?", The sudden question made y/n to widen her eyes and look at the boy, "Why do you ask such a question?" She exclaims with wide eyes wondering how does he knows about things like boyfriend and girlfriend. "Just wondering if I can have any chance with such a beauty like you".
The boy says as if it was nothing while looking straight into her eyes trying to make a flirty expression but failing miserably and ending with a cute face made y/n to choke ok her breath and look at the boy with amusement.
"Kim Jihoon, where the hell did you learn to flirt? And who taught you?" She asks in a scolding tone after resting her hands on her hips like a mother, "Uncle Chim always says that it's the best line to make girls to like you, Uncle Kook and Uncle Tae also told me that this works really well" the boy says proudly.
"I don't know who these uncles of yours are but sweetie, you are too young to flirt, no more flirting ok?" She warns the boy who in return nods his head making his chubby cheeks bounce along with him. She shakes her head and pays attention to the pasta she was making when something strikes her.
"Hoonie, does you appa flirts with anyone?" She asks stirring the pasta and keeping her eyes on the boy who was playing with his plushie,"Appa doesn't do it with girls, he does it with my uncles", the boy says nonchalantly but Y/N chokes on her breath for the second time.
"What the hell?" She mumbles, her brain forming scenarios of him flirting with his friends, "Are you ok Noona?" The concerned boy asks looking at her with his doe eyes, "Yes baby I'm alright" She says and they both go silent, the boy was busy playing but y/n was busy making scenarios of her boss and bestie flirting with some men.
She shakes off her thoughts and turns off the stove as the pasta is ready. Serving the food for the boy she asks him to come and eat up Being the obedient boy he was he listens to Y/N and takes his seat at kitchen island taking help from Y/N and starts eating his dinner.
"so yummy, I wanna eat your food everyday" the boy says after taking few bites, "Awee I don't know about daily but I surely can make you food once a week" she assures to which the boy's eyes sparkle like he just won some candies.
They both keep talking about JiHoon's school and his friends while he completes his meal. She washes the dishes and looks at the time, as it was already past 9 she decides to tuck the kid to sleep as he already started to rub his tired eyes trying to stay awake.
"Hoonie it's your bed time baby, why don't you go to sleep, I'll wake you up when you're appa arrives" she says taking the boy in her arms and running her finger across his soft locks which resulted the boy to close his eyes as if he just wants to sleep and nothing else, "No, I can stay awake untill he comes" the stubborn kid says while yawning.
"Listen to me sweetie, you're a good boy right, and you also have to go to school tomorrow so you should have some rest" she tries to convince the boy who in return pouts but nevertheless agrees to sleep. Smiling at him she carries the boy to her room and tucks him in her bed.
After about a 10 minutes she makes sure the boy was sleeping peacefully then she walks out from the room and slowly closes the door behind then makes her way to livingroom and plops on the couch. She takes out her laptop and starts working on some pending things while waiting for Jin to arrive.
After about half and hour more, she hears the door bell ringing, keeping her pc aside
She walks upto the maindoor and opens it to reveal a smiling SeokJin, "Missed me" he says with a teasing smirk, "Like hell I would, come in" she scoffs before moving aside and letting the broad shouldered man in.
Closing the door behind him, they both walk inside. As Jin has been there a few times when dropping her during her OTs the place wasn't new to him. "have a seat I'll bring your favourite coffee" she says before helping him in taking his coat off and hanging it on the hanger at the entrance.
"Wine would be good Thanks" the tired man says loosening his tie and unbuttoning the collar button, "You didn't have dinner did you?" She asks knowing very well about his tantrums when he is hungry, "You know me way to well, should I be concerned?" He asks faking a scared expression.
"Wash up, let's have dinner together" she says turning to the kitchen's direction, "you didn't had dinner yet?" He asks, voice laced with concern, "Nah, I was waiting for you, I kinda felt like I should wait, I don't know why though" she shruggs.
"Hmmm where's JiHoon?" He asks looking around, "I tucked him to sleep, don't worry and have some dinner first" she says giving his shoulder a gentle squeeze to which he nods, "Sure what did you make?"
She walks towards kitchen to heat up the pasta, "Pasta Carbonara" She responds to his question,"I can feel my mouth watering, can't wait to devour it" the man says closing his eyes and making a dreamy expression.
She chuckles while he makes his way to bathroom attached to livingroom. A few minutes later he walks out and joins y/n in the small kitchen. As she grabs the cutlery he takes his seat at the island. Placing the cutlery infront of him she walks and opens one of the cabinets then grabs a wine bottle
"Is that a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti I'm seeing?" The man exclaims with wide eyes, "Yes sir it is" she says proudly, "where the hell did you get that from?" He exclaims surprised at how his secretary managed to get such a lovely wine, "I might not be rich but I do have some friends who gifts me such things" she says shrugging her shoulders.
"Lucky you, I gotta say you got some good taste in wine" he says with a smile, "I know" she says and places the bottle and opener infront of him then turns to grab two glasses. Jin takes the opener and opens te bottle while y/n takes out the pasta from oven.
She places the dish on the island and takes one of her mittens off when suddenly the powers goes off
"Just when I thought it's gonna be good day" she mumbles under her breath, "What's wrong?" Jin asks worried from his seat, She turns on the flash light in her mobile and walks towards livingroom.
"We've been having few power cuts since a week, every night, It's supposed to get fixed but I guess it hasn't been done yet" she says searching for emergency light, "JiHoon must be feeling suffocated, he doesn't likes dark places" the concerned father exclaims standing from his seat.
"Don't worry, I have inverter to my room so the power inside my room doesn't goes off unless the battery is up, but the power will be back before that" she assures him which calls the man down, "What are you looking for then" he asks taking his seat again, "Torch, do you wanna eat in dark" she responds still in search of the light, "you know you're not romantic at all, no wonder you are not in a relationship yet" he exclaims in a pity tone, "Excuse you!"
She exclaims as she was now standing near kitchen entrance with the Torch turned on, "The power is already gone, why don't you just light some candles, it would be so romantic as we are also having some wine" he says nonchalantly but clicks his tongue thinking she might not like the idea, what was he thinking? Was this a date? Him being Romantic with his secretary? His friend?. Thoughts ran across his mind but her repsonse striked all them away.
"Fine if that's what you want", She walks back to livingroom and comes back again with some scented candles which She bought few months ago but couldn't use. She places the candles across the
Kitchen island and lits them up then takes her seat. As she starts serving he pours the wine in both the glasses. They both clink their glasses and starts to have dinner.
"So how was your date Mr.Kim?" She asks before stuffing her mouth with delicious food, "Oooh someone's pretty eager to know" the man teases. "Ofcourse I am, can't I be eager to know how my bestie's date went" she dodges his tease, "It wasn't a date, she just called me to throw a tantrum" he sighs before sipping on his drink, "Tantrum?" Y/N says confused.
"She asked me why I said No when reporters asked me about our relationship And she said she wants to become Hoonie's eomma, but who is kidding she can't even take care of herself and she says she's ready to take care of Hoon" Jin exclaims his pent up frustration surfacing out, "Who knows, but you're a parent so you would know more about it" she says sadly, Jin nods and gives some complements to her food.
"please don't get mad at me but can I ask you something?" She finally gathers up enough courage to ask him what she's been thinking, "Why would I get mad at you unless you did something extremely wrong" he says, gazing at her with suspicions eyes. "Well JiHoon told me something and I couldn't help myself but to wonder.....are you a gay?" She asks and looks at him with curious eyes.
He chokes on his drink while she leans back and smiles awkwardly, "Wh....what? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?" He says grabbing few tissues and dabbing them to clean the little mess, "well JiHoon was flirting with me earlier and when I asked who taught him to flirt he said his uncles and when I asked him whether you flirt with anyone, he said you do with his uncles so I thought maybe you were....." she raps her words to which he cuts her off in the middle.
"Firstly I teach them how to flirt and secondly did you just say JiHoon flirts and he learnt it from his uncles?" He asks not believing what he just heard while she smiles remembering how adorable he looked when he was trying to look flirty, "Yeah, JiHoon told me that his Uncle Chim,Uncle Kook and Uncle Tae teache him that" she says not realising the consequences.
"These three are so dead, how dare they teach a 5 year kid how to flirt" he says hitting his fist on the table lightly, "Exactly my point" she joins in, "By the way what did he say to you though, Jihoon?" The curios alpaca asks with dancing eyebrows.
"He asked whether I had a boyfriend and when I asked why would he ask that, he said he was wondering if such a beauty like me was single", She shrugs but Jin laughs out loud making her knit her brows in confusion. After a whole minute of hearty windshield wiper laughing he wipes away his tears and looks at her. "My son really needs to learn how to find a beauty, you and beautiful? Pft..." He teases to which she gasps and looks away while he laughs again.
After a few more minutes he stops laughing and observes her who was eating silently, occasionally sipping her wine. "To he honest you're beautiful, I don't say this often but you are gorgeous And you look prettier without your make up and in lounge wear" he voices out his thoughts which made her think that he is teasing her again, "Don't tease me I know I'm a potato"
She says and looks at him but seeing his sincere eyes she turns away sipping her wine and tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Believe me when I'm saying this, you're looking irresistible in this candle light". Her cheeks tint scarlet hearing his complements. She felt weird, warm feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Thankyou, you look handsome yourself" she compliments him back, "I know I'm world wide handsome darling you don't have to tell me" He says and sips his drink sassily ruining the mood and getting back to his playful self, she scoffs bit soon smiles to herself.
A little later Y/N's gaze falls on Jin's face which was a little mess yet so handsome. "Aygooo you're such a messy eater" she says shaking her head, "Can't help it when the food is so delicious" he says to which she scoffs but nevertheless pulls out a paper napkin on the table and passes it to him.
"You have a little something on your handsome face" She says while he takes it and wipes his mouth instead, She shakes her head and takes another napkin and leans close to him, Holding his jaw she cleans his messy face which was messed up with sauce while he just looks at her with wide eyes. For few moments he gets lost looking at her face that close which never happened.
Right at that moment the power goes back and the lights turns on, "Thank god, the power is finally back" She says but when she realises how close she was to him and how her hand was holding
his face while other was close to his lips she panicked. They both were froze looking into eachother's eyes but a phonecall snaps
Them out of their trance.
Jin clears his throat while she slowly backs away and scratching her nape awkwardly. Jin grabs his phone and seeing the caller ID he shakes his head and decides not to pick the call for that moment.
"I....think it's getting late, I'll get going now", He says to which she nods and stands from her seat. He makes his way to washroom while she goes to her room to pick the sleeping young boy up. A few minutes later they both get back to livingroom.
"Don't wake him up, he's so into sleep" she warns to which Jin nods and takes his son into his embrace. "I'll get going now, good night, and take care" he greets her with a smile, "Good night, and drive safe, text me once you reach home" she says returning his smile.
She smiles and bids them bye. Jin walks away with a smile while she waves them off with a smile. But as soon as he gets out of her sight she closes her front door and covers her face then let's out a silent squeal.
"I'm loosing my mind, how can I....." She shrugs off and walks towards kitchen to clean the dishes. She sees the half left wine glass and drinks it empty. "This wine is too precious to waste" mumbles after finishing the drink.
She cleans the dishes puts off the candles, turns off the electronics and lights and heads to bed then plops on it. She couldn't sleep remembering the insanely handsome face which was inches apart from her a few moments ago. She turned and tossed then finally drifted to sleep after an hour.
Jin makes JiHoon to sleep in backseat and slowly gets into drivers seat, heaving a sigh he glances at JiHoon then back at road, fastening his seatbelt
He drives off. He looked calm but his mind was occupied with the images of what happened a few moments ago.
Y/N was too close for his liking but still he didn't mind it, instead he felt some kind of way which he didn't felt for a while. Maybe his feelings towards his female bestie were finally changing. He touches his cheek where she held him and a unconscious smile creeps onto his lips.
"I'm going insane, I need to let go of my stress and I need to have a talk with these bastards who taught my kid how to flirt" he huffs out while driving towards his destination.
