40. The Last Date

Jimin was waiting at the restaurant where the fiances agreed to meet. Due to Jungkook's upcoming long absence from work, he had to punch in extra hours these days and it has been stressing him majorly. Jimin was worried about him a lot so he asked the doctor out on a date today, their last date as fiances and bachelors. They had finally decided on the wedding date, 8 August. [A/N: Note it down. You all are invited.]

Mrs. Jeon helped with all the shopping. They got their wedding suits designed by Ralph Lauren. Since Jimin was already in fashion, it was easier for him to get in touch with the designers. Few things were bought in Korea while few things were bought by Mrs. Jeon after she went back to the US. 

The wedding planners were from Orlando and that is why Mrs. Jeon had come to Korea to manage the coordination since Jimin and Jungkook could not travel so often because of their work, but still, they had travelled twice in the recent past. 

Jimin was looking down on his phone while tapping his feet on the ground when Jungkook's hand brushed his back. "I am sorry I am late." Jungkook apologized and took his seat. He sighed in relief as his butt hit the comfortable sofa chair.

"Tired?" Jimin kept the phone aside and looked at Jungkook's dull face. 

"A little but you work as an anti-tiredness pill. I am already feeling better." Jungkook smiled and Jimin licked his lips.

"I will give you a nice body massage later." Jimin replied provocatively and Jungkook looked around to see if anyone heard. Thankfully, the tables were set at safe distance and people were chattering anyway. 

"I would love that." He winked. 

Their flirting was stopped when the steward came with a whole roasted chicken in a dish along with Quiche, walnut cheese, mountain cheese, salami, olives, and Parisienne with some bread. Jungkook drooled at it. It looked really delectable and he was famished. The waiter served both of them and brought wine while they savored the smoky bird with cheese.

"Honey, I was thinking..." Jungkook was strangely nervous. "Shouldn't we invite your parents?" 

Jimin looked down. "You know what she told me? That I was a bad omen for her, I brought bad luck and she has been successful since I left. She told me to get away so nothing bad happens to her business. She would never bless me and I don't want anyone at my wedding who would not be happy for us." 

Jungkook nodded and understood. He made Jimin eat with his hand and the younger smiled. "How do you feel now? Any new wedding jitters I should know of?" Jungkook asked while cutting another piece and put it forward for Jimin to eat. 

"Not me. Are you getting them?" Jimin teased. 

"If anyone of us had to have wedding jitters, it would be you. I can bet you on that." Jungkook chuckled and sipped his wine with a relaxed moan. After being parched and starved for hours, he found food, and that too with such elegant beauty in front of him. He was having the best time with his rare smile on his lips.

"What do you want to bet?" Asked Jimin. 

"Anything you want." Jungkook replied confidently while he stopped eating.

"You will let me top you on the wedding night." Jimin announced and kept eating as if he asked for candy.

"How about... A night after the wedding. I don't want to be unable to walk on my wedding night." Jungkook said in a raspy voice and Jimin extended his hand to seal the deal.

"Done." Jimin beamed and Jungkook shook hands with a faint heart. 

 "Oh! I remembered something, can we get flowers from here for the wedding?" Jimin asked. 

"We cant, Sweetie. They might go bad." Jungkook replied apologetically. 

"I had a shop in mind." Jimin pouted. 

"I had one in mind too. You know what! I will try to work it out. I will have to check few things and send them as an urgent consignment." Jungkook assured after seeing Jimin's sad face that he did not want to see. 

"No, it's okay. It's already costing us a lot to fly everyone to the US." Jimin spoke but Jungkook only stuffed his mouth with smoky chicken. 

Jimin hardly ate and held his stomach. "I am done." 

"Why do I always forget that you eat like a bird?"Jungkook quipped and Jimin shook his head. 

"Hey! I do eat a lot. I just don't eat now a days. I don't want to get kicked out of my job." Jimin bellowed defensively.

"Do you see yourself doing this in a long run? I know it has only been few months but you cannot put yourself through the torture of not being able to eat forever." 

"I don't know. Maybe I can think of starting my own marketing into fashion biz." Jimin shrugged. 

"Why can't you do your own designing? You have a good sense of fashion." Jungkook cleared his throat on purpose so Jimin would get it but he did not. 

"I do but I am not qualified. I did not study fashion." Jimin replied. 

"How about this?" Jungkook kept his fork on the plate and clasped his finger together. "You take a fashion major for three years while we are in the US and once we come back to Korea, you can have your own thing. I will definitely help and you have friends in the industry, that will give you leverage." Jungkook suggested and Jimin just looked at him.

"How can I do that? I am too old now to study."

"Hush, there is no age of learning. You can do anything you want at any time. If you will not be comfortable going to university, I can arrange an online school for you." Jungkook suggested by holding his hand across the table.

"But then, I would not have a job." Jimin's face discerned into sorrow.

"I know you don't like to take my money but I will be your husband, Sweetie. At least give me some rights." Jungkook jested but Jimin only went into deep thinking. "Okay, how about you pay me back whenever you can. I won't stop you." Jungkook proposed and Jimin smiled knowing very well that Jungkook would never take money from him.

"I will think about it." He nodded.

Jungkook called the steward again to place the next order. He was waiting when a lady approached their table. 

"Mrs. Nguen?" Jungkook's forehead appeared with creases as he looked at her, perplexed. "Why are you here?" He stood up, backing away. 

"To eat, Dr. Jeon." She said amusedly. 

"Let's go, honey." Jungkook held out his hand for Jimin but the lady did not budge. Jimin looked confusedly between them and then it clicked in his mind. This was the same lady he walked in on in the operating room and that is why she called Jungkook, Dr. Jeon.

He stood up and the manager of the place suddenly approached them when he saw a little bustle. "Is there a problem, sir?" He asked and Jungkook only asked for the cheque. 

Jimin thought he should apologize to the lady because he knew what he did was wrong. "I- I am so sorry about the... The time I walked inside the operating room." Jimin bowed his head slightly.

Mrs. Nguen had not seen Jimin's face clearly at that time but the man gave himself away now. She felt a surge of jealousy and anger. Jungkook had defended this man that day and told her that he was into men, and now she found them having a little date. 

"So it is you who have no manners."

"Mrs. Nguen, I request you to please think before you speak." Jungkook interjected and started walking away to the counter with Jimin.

The lady followed them. "Or what? You have already suffered a big loss because of him. You are a fool Jungkook. How could you still be with him? If I were you, I would have kicked him out of my life."

As the restaurant staff heard the loud noises of the lady, they immediately called the cops. Jimin did not know what she was talking about. Jungkook pulled Jimin behind his back and dialed the emergency number but he saw cops already entering the place. 

"Is there a problem, Sir?" The cop approached after staff directed them. Now, Jungkook wanted to make the lady suffer too.

"Yes, officer. I have filed a restraining order against this woman and still, she stalked me here." Jungkook replied and showed the officer his phone where he had saved the document. Mrs. Nguen backed off and her face turned grim.

The cop asked a female officer to come in and arrest her. She begged them and also realized that she would be fined a heavy amount on account of breaking the order of law.
