The last few days flew by quickly. You couldn't believe Jisoo and Jin actually took some time off from work just to hang out with you. Jisoo was adamant about making the most of their free time with you.

And, oh boy! You made the most of it.

They took you everywhere. Museums, parks, road trips...you name it. It was sightseeing at its finest. 

Every morning Jisoo would wake Jin and you up with the schedule for the day and every night you would crash on their couch, drained.

You could actually feel Jin slowly beginning to hate his life as Jisoo would have another change of schedule, adding more to it.

In the last days Jisoo and you talked a lot; you both felt you had some catching up to do.
You two were sitting on the living room floor in sweatpants, ready to open your second bottle of wine.
You told her about your family, your job, your last relationship.

"I think you did the right thing Y/n" Jisoo said, sipping wine.
"I hope so" you sad, sipping some wine as well while looking away.
"Anyhow, what's new with you?" you then asked. "And, before you say anything, I think Jin is amazing" you added, grabbing her hand.

You saw her melt where she was sitting, her lips curved into a timid smile.

"I know right? He really makes me happy" she then continued "Thank you for liking him, it really means a lot to me"
"Of course I like him Jisoo, I mean...who wouldn't?" you asked perplexed. "I like him so much I'm actually jealous... I can only hope I'll find someone like him and have a relationship like you two".

"With the way you look you'll be able to find a boyfriend easily" Jisoo smirked. "We'll find you a hot Korean boyfriend in no time, trust me" she looked at you with an insinuating expression on her face, "you really need to get some, when was the last time you got laid?"

"Oh please" you threw a pillow at Jisoo, making her laugh out loud.
"I'm not looking for anyone, right now the only thing I'm worried about is finding a job" you said, playing with the empty glass in your hand.

"Oh right, about that" she suddenly sat straight, trying to regain some composure.
The wine was starting to have its effect.
"You know the restaurant chain were Jin and I work?".
"Yes, you've mentioned it a couple of times".
"Right, well since it's expanding at a fast rate, they're looking for more people, especially in the branding department" Jisoo said.
"They want new people with a fresh perspective and I recommended you" she then added, her voice progressively becoming quieter and quieter.

"What?!" you yelled. "How could you do something like that without consulting me first? Jisoo are you insane?! I know nothing about restaurants!" you shouted, throwing your arms in the air.

Unbelievable you thought to yourself.

For the love of God, you loved Jisoo so much but sometimes you wanted to strangle her to death.

"Oh come on!" she whined.
"You have a degree in these PR, marketing... stuff... thingies. And, besides" she progressed "Those people aren't just Jin's friends, they are mine friends now as well, it'll be fine trust me. Tonight we'll go and meet them and-"

"What?!" you interrupted her as your eyes widened.

You stood up fast while your head started to spin and, as you tried your best not to stumble on your feet and fall, you started pacing through the living room.
"You are actually telling me now that in a few hours I'll be having a job interview? Seriously?! Jisoo what the fuck?!"
"Calm down Y/n" she stood up as well. "I told you, there is nothing to worry about: these guys are my friends, they're our age and they are looking forward to meet you. I've spoken fondly of you".
You looked at her in disbelief.

"I got my job trough them as well...well through Jin actually. But they all trust me, Jin trusts me so why won't you trust me as well?" she walked closer to you.
"I know you can do it, I believe in you so why won't you believe in you too?".

"Anyway" she added "I don't think your job in PR will be too demanding".

"Jisoo..." you paused to massage your head with both your hands "you are their legal advisor, what the fuck do you know about branding?".

You stopped a couple of steps from the restaurant's entrance. You knew Jin worked as a head chef in some fancy restaurant but you couldn't imagine in your wildest dreams that it looked like that.

The luxurious ambient made you even more anxious.

These people weren't joking around.

You nervously played with your necklace as you continued to look around.
And that was just the outside; you didn't dare to imagine what the interior looked like.
Jisoo seemed to notice you were growing tenser so she wrapped her arms around you, caressing you lightly.

"Everything will be fine Y/n, breathe" she noticed you were relaxing a little bit.
"You aren't going to have a job interview right now; you are just going to meet them, as my friend" Jisoo looked at you softly.
"You'll maybe talk a little about work related stuff but we are going in there primarily to eat, drink and mingle".

"you- hey! Stop pulling down that dress of yours" she slapped your hand.

"This is all your fault. I shouldn't have listened to you" you frowned. "I look like a hooker" you said while looking down at your body.

After you've calmed down and sobered up, you spent your entire afternoon thinking what you should wear.

Is it a business dinner? A job interview? Cocktails with friends? You kept asking yourself.

Well, it's a little bit of everything! You rolled your eyes in exhaustion, not knowing what to do.
In the end you gave up and let Jisoo dress you the way she seemed fitting.

Big mistake.

You were now here in heels, wearing a black tight dress, cursing at your best friend...no at yourself for letting her choose your outfit.

"Oh shut up" Jisoo said, bringing you back to reality.
"You look confident, ready to get the job done and, more importantly, you look hot as fuck" she then continued " I bet you're going to get everyone's attention in there, the guys will be all over you".

"What? I thought I was going to meet your friends" you accentuated the last word.
"Oh yes, they are my friends but honey make no mistake: they are men" she looked at you smirking.

"You are going to make their blood boil".

"Jisoo stop!" you covered your face. " Let's stop talking about me for a second; you look beautiful as well".
"I know babe, thank you" Jisoo winked at you. "Now...let's go inside, shall we?".

You had the right hunch, the place looked even more stunning on the inside. "Great" you murmured to yourself while following Jisoo; she knew her way around the restaurant.

You two walked all the way to the back.

You noticed, as you were approaching a wide table, some guys were already sitting there.
You started to bite your bottom lip, growing even more agitated.
The group noticed Jisoo and you coming over, she waved at them and your cheeks burned as you felt five pairs of eyes land on you.

"We are here people!" Jisoo yelled while everybody was standing up to greet you.
"Hi" you said subtly as you bowed.
Everyone followed you as they bowed and greeted you as well.

"Everyone this is Y/n, Y/n this is...well everyone" Jisoo did the presentations.
"Hi" you said again, awkwardly.
The group of five was looking at you, you had their attention.

You felt a shiver run through your spine as your eyes met his.

He was standing beside you, hands in his pockets with his head slightly tilted; looking at you.
You felt his gaze pierce through your soul and, as another shiver run down your spine, you looked away.

He raised an eyebrow, smirked and looked away too.

"Nice to finally meet you Y/n" a joyful voice caught your attention, making you face forward.
You saw an angelic face calling your name, making his way around the massive table to greet you.
You gasped as you felt his arms wrapping around you, pulling you into a tight hug.
" Ah yes, Y/n meet our Jimin" Jisoo said with an amusing tone.

"Park Jimin" he said with the sweetest smile.

"Nice to meet you Park Jimin, I'm Y/n" you said still amused by his gesture.
" Time to meet everyone" Jisoo clapped her hands.

" Hi Y/n, I'm Kim Namjoon" said the guy on the right, across the table.
You smiled cordially, presenting yourself yet again.

"I'm Jung Hoseok" said the guy across you.

" You've already met Jimin" Jisoo pointed at Jimin making his way back to his seat, next to Hoseok.

" This is Min Yoongi" Jisoo proceeded, pointing at the person sitting at the head of the table.
He nodded slightly as he bowed.

" And this is-"

"I'm Kim Taehyung" he said, interrupting Jisoo.

Your eyes met his intense stare again. You could feel your heart skipping a beat when you heard his voice; his deep, soulful voice.
" It's a pleasure to meet you" he then continued.

Fuck you thought.

How was it possible?

You've never seen someone like him; he had the most intense eyes you've ever seen.
You felt trapped in his gaze as your heart skipped another beat.
Sure, he was overall handsome; his skin seemed soft like silk, his seductive smile made your stomach flutter but the eyes...those eyes.

"Shall we?" the question made you quiver.

You got back to reality as you noticed Taehyung had pulled the chair away from the table, inviting you to sit next to him. He was looking at you, waiting for you to take your seat.
You gulped as you set down, with Jisoo to your right.
"Wow Y/n, you're even more beautiful in person" Jimin commented with a bright smile.
"Thank you" you answered looking down while torturing your fingers.
Jimin continued to smile gazing at everyone at the table.

" So Y/n how do you like Korea so far? Did you had a chance to go sightseeing?" Namjoon asked thoughtfully.
"Did she get a chance to go sightseeing?" Jin emphasized while approaching your table.

" I don't think Koreans have seen that much of Korea" he continued, throwing his arms in the air.
" I sure as hell didn't "

"Oh shut up, you had a great time with us" Jisoo said rolling her eyes at him.
He smiled jokingly at her as he leaned in for a quick peck on the lips.
"Don't you have work to do?" Namjoon then asked.

"Yes, it's hell in there" Jin pointed the kitchen. "I just came to quickly say hi to you, the kitchen will close in an hour or so... so I'll see you all then. By honey"
" By Jin" Jisoo rubbed his hand.

"Y/n I know you're looking for a job" said the person sitting in front of you, Hoseok you remembered.

" I must say, your resume is quite impressive for someone your age" he added.
"Y/n liked to keep herself busy during our Uni days" Jisoo elbowed you.
"So you two studied together in The Netherlands?" Yoongi pointed at the both of you.
" Yes, we were roommates back then" You answered.
"But you aren't Dutch?".
" No, I'm not" you shook your head while drinking some water: you felt your throat went dry as you were continuously feeling someone's stare on you.

The energy Taehyung was emitting was palpable.

You asked yourself how someone you've met five minutes ago can have such an impact on you.
He leaned closer as he was paying attention to everything you said; he wanted to learn more about you.

Taehyung felt it too: he could sense tension in the air.

"We both didn't speak the language, came from different parts of the world and didn't know anyone there. Jisoo at the beginning had a difficult time fitting in; it was her first time in Europe so I kind of helped her getting used to everything there."
"We quickly bonded and the rest is history" Jisoo added looking at you lovingly.
"Listen, why don't you come tomorrow? We can discuss about work then" Hoseok then said.

"Oh so you are the owner of the restaurant chain?" you asked.
"Pff, he wishes" Jimin laughed next to him.

" Hey! The work I do here is still valuable" Hoseok pinched his friend.
" No, I'm the head of the marketing department so I'll still be your boss" He then said facing you.
"But these guys" Hoseok pointed at Namjoon and Taehyung "they are your boss's bosses".
You looked at Taehyung who slightly nodded.
"You two must be very proud with what you've accomplished" you admitted, not looking away from Taehyung.

" Actually there are three of them" Jisoo added. "Which reminds me: where the fuck is Kook?" She asked, clearly annoyed. "Is he fucking another one of his little hoes?".

Your head quickly shifted to her side as you were giving her a scolding look.
How could she be so straightforward you asked yourself.

"No" Taehyung chuckled, amused by the question.
"He is in Japan, monitoring the preparation for our big opening next month: work related stuff Jisoo, he'll be back in a couple of days" he said raising an eyebrow yet again while licking his bottom lip.

He then noticed you were staring at him so he decided to lick his lips again. You blushed and turned away.
Taehyung smiled, entertained by your reaction.

The rest of the night went smoothly; you all shared interesting stories from your pasts while having the best meal of your lifetime. You made sure to compliment Jin on his amazing culinary skills: he jokingly dismissed your compliments while his ears turned red in embarrassment.

" So how do you all know each other?" you asked.
You didn't know what it was; due to the warm atmosphere or maybe due to wine you found yourself completely relaxed.
"From here and there" Namjoon answered.

"Jimin and Taehyung now each other the longest, they went to school together".
"Yes, we are soul mates" Jimin giggled.

"Best friends Jimin" Taehyung corrected him.

" whatever; the fact is that you love me the most" Jimin pointed out, raising his head a bit. Jimin was so extra, you loved it.
"Yes I do" Taehyung agreed, his lips turning into a caring smile.

You couldn't help but notice how fond Taehyung was of his friend; their relationship reminded you of Jisoo and you. You were truly blessed to have such a wonderful person as your best friend.

" We've all known each other for a very long time" Hoseok said "Except Yoongi" he then added.
"He showed up a couple of years ago here at the restaurant: we liked him so we just... kind of adopted him".

Yoongi sighed crossing his arms "I'm so done with each and every one of you people".
"This is our old, grumpy Yoongi" said Jimin smacking Yoongi's left thigh.

"Yoongi has a recording studio down the street" Namjoon clarified.
"He basically lives there so he started coming here mainly for food, the friendship part came in a little later".
"Kind of like a cat" Jimin teased more.

"And Park Jimin, what do you do for a living?".
" Drop the formalities; we are the same age" Jimin shook his hand in the air.
"And we are all friends here, feel free to call us all by our names" Yoongi added.
You nodded in sign of understanding.
"I have a major in contemporary dance, you can come and watch me perform sometimes" Jimin said.
"I would love to" you answered.
His face lit up as he granted you one of the most precious smiles you've ever seen.

"Great, Taehyung will take you: he never misses my performances".
Jimin added distractingly, too busy pouring another glass of wine.
During the night Taehyung didn't say much. He chuckled here and there and made a few comments, mostly to poke fun of Yoongi.

You were intrigued by Taehyung, wanting to know more about him but you couldn't force yourself to ask him anything; you were intimidated by his presence. There was something mysterious about this man that were pulling you towards him.

" I would love to take you" he then turned to you. His eyes studying every small change of your expression as you came to realize what he was actually saying.

You smiled at him, trying to ignore the fact that your cheeks were burning hot. You reached for your glass of wine, without breaking eye contact.
He followed your movement vigilantly as he waited for your response.

"Oh...ok...sure" you mumbled before taking a big sip of wine.
He smiled in content as he pulled back into his chair, breaking eye contact while reaching for his glass as well.
You blinked twice before turning on the other side.

what the fuck did I just agreed to?

You shook your head before coming to realize one thing:

You really needed to stop drinking wine.
