[everyone gets back to their work. Jimin goes back on his phone. Jin cooks something in the kitchen, rumours say he's preparing dinner for everyone. Jennie walks in with the bar's apron wrapped around her waist and takes yoongi's chart papers off of the wall. People in the room, terrified, slowly turn their heads towards the chair near the entrance. They exhale in relief when they find Yoongi peacefully sleeping with his arms crossed and legs placed on the table in front of him.
Jennie, with her hands on her waist, looks at the wall for some minutes then turns around to ask if anyone has a measuring tape.
"Why? What do you wanna measure?" Jimin questions in a smug tone and you choke on the water you sip when you notice him wriggle his eyebrows with a teasing smile on his face.
"The wall" she responds.
"Oh, not long enough" Jimin says and goes back on his phone.
"Disgusting" you look at Jimin "your brain is disgusting"
"Says the one who instantly understood the context, which, in my defence, is not what you think it is coz I am pure"
"Sure, you perv" you jokingly say. You notice the man next to you facepalm a few seconds later when he gets it.
"Lame" he sighs.
"I know right" you mutter.
When Jennie doesn't get a response she asks Jimin if he could borrow one from other shops around this place. "Jin probably knows the measurements, ask him instead" Jimin suggests.
After talking to jin in the kitchen, she asks if everyone could contribute to buy a white cloth. You all agree and chip in some amount, you put some extra coz you didn't waste today on a can of beer. You got a free cocktail instead. Now the only task was to wake Yoongi up and ask for his share. But the boys were too intimidated by him that they chipped in from the money earned by the bar today instead of disturbing Yoongi.
Jennie tells you how she has planned to dye the white cloth using colours that would match the interior of the bar and cover the wall with it. Since the current wall is made up of wooden tiles and has blueberry bar written all over it, this seemed like the only affordable way to her. Once the cloth is needled on the wall, she plans to paint 'The Bangtan Bar' on it.
Her idea seemed convincing to everyone and was discussed with Namjoon and Hoseok through text as well. When everyone, except Yoongi who was fast asleep, agreed, Jennie carried on with the plan and ordered Jimin to get all the material required.
Yes, Jimin is her personal assistant now since that bitch has nothing better to do at the moment.
This is how the interior designing begins and everyone, once again, gets busy.
Even Yoongi with his naps.
9:54pm,
You try to make your first drink after you learn some stuff from jungkook. You ask jungkook to try and give you some feedback but he just halts after taking a sip. Jimin, who had completed most of his chores notices this coconut head, comes to the bar, takes the drink from jungkook's hand, and sips it. You raise your brows in anticipation as he gulps your drink in one go.
"It tastes like...
...water",
Jimin says after he fails to find a better word to describe the drink's taste. "What" you laugh at the thought of selling a flavourless drink. "Does it, sir?" You turn to jungkook and ask. He scratches his head as his eyes look around the room. You chuckle as you put a hand on your forehead, hiding your face in embarrassment.
"What's it supposed to be anyway?" Jimin asks.
You hide your face even more and mumble "margarita" at which Jimin bursts out laughing. "I'm still learning!" You say, defending yourself. "Great work y/n, great work", he pats your shoulder and leaves, shaking his head as he snickers.
"Asshole" you mumble and let out a helpless chuckle. "Was I not supposed to add water?" You ask jungkook as if it isn't one of those most obvious 'Don'ts' he talked about for ten minutes. He shakes his head to answer your question and gestures you to follow him. He picks up a bottle of tequila and shows it to you. He pours some of it in a small glass, flashes the glass in front of your eyes and places it on the table. You follow suit and copy everything he does. He gestures the amount to be added with his fingers and explains the details using only hand gestures.
"Why did you suddenly go mute?" You ask after some minutes of preparing the drink in silence.
He pauses.
"I mean it's okay if you don't wanna speak, hand gestures are totally fine. they're doing an amazing job of explaining a complicated concept like 'mixology' and I'm not kidding. I mean they're too informative even if they're just ten fingers who can't speak."
You were genuinely trying to tell him how nicely he was able to explain stuff without opening his mouth even once, but it came out rather sarcastic.
Jungkook's 9928283 thoughts run through his brain as he tries to think why the hell did his lips seal. He didn't notice when his conscience went from being cautious to enjoying the rhythm of his heart.
Earlier when you had asked for his feedback, he had planned to use his words wisely to avoid offending you while correcting your methods but he got too scared and ended up not speaking at all.
He had to distribute his concentration between his drink and the pace at which his heart was beating. The comfort of your presence around him was what allowed him to avoid his eyes from dreamily landing on you every fifteen seconds. He'd only look at you to show you the ingredients and to point out the amount of liquid required, secretly catching a glance of your face, and the rest of the time when he'd mix his drinks, he'd be content with your presence which would be an epitome of crawling into a blanket during a peaceful winter night for him.
Being the hopeless romantic he is, he wants life to allow him to meet the person he is 'made' for. He doesn't want to force anyone into his life, he wants life to naturally happen to him. That's why he didn't want Hoseok and Jimin to do whatever they're currently doing to force you to spend time with him. Although the day he saw you for the first time, he kind of hoped to be the one made for you but the fact that he felt this way just within some minutes was what bothered him and he decided to let go.
Then you replied to what was an 'official' message sent by him through the bar's official number. Then you replied to other 'unofficial' texts and some days later you appeared where he hadn't hoped to see you ever again. Since then whatever happened, happened because of hoseok's enthusiasm.
A part of him thinks maybe this is how it's supposed to happen, maybe it's all alright and hoseok is supposed to force you even after you say you are not interested, maybe this is what life has planned for him. But it could also be the other way around and he is bothered by the way it genuinely scares him. In the end, he knows whatever will happen, will happen for good and he'd be content with it because life is fair as it's unfair to everyone.
"Uh... I..." he finally speaks, unable to think of an answer "...forgot?"
"Forgot what? To speak?"
"Yeah" he responds, concentrated on his drink. He tries his best to focus so he could avoid being awkward.
"I see, you must really love your margarita then, no wonder it took your breath away" you joke.
"yep" he speaks casually after he regains control over his conscience. He holds the glass in his hand and turns to you. "meet Margaret", he says as he shows you his drink. "She's in charge of making everyone speechless with her beauty. We've been together for a while now"
You blink for a few seconds as you look at the glass in his hand.
"Oh, then I'll have to tell you to beware of Margo" you play along as you pick up the drink you prepared. "She's known for turning margaritas bisexual."
Jungkook pulls the glass in his hand a little closer to his ear as if he's listening to it. He then nods a little, pretending to agree to what the cocktail has to say. You purse your lips to stop yourself from letting out a giggle.
"Margaret just confessed that she's bisexual. Thanks to Margo, she now knows her sexuality" He speaks in a formal tone. "But that won't change things between us so we're fine" he adds.
"Oh my" you put a hand on your chest, dramatising your astonishment. "I'm happy for you two" ]
