Jimin was walking on ramp stage with the designer for the end of show and Jungkook was right  behind him, with other models. They bowed and waved at the crowd glamorously before moving back to the make up room.

Many people came to congratulate Jimin on successfully completing his first walk. Jungkook kept his distance and when big illumination turned off and people started to leave, he approached Jimin with a smile.

"Congratulations Jimin." He said.

"Thank you, Doctor." Jimin replied playing with the word at which Jungkook arched his brows swiftly and they fell back to their original state. He looked at the ground for a split second with a pretty smile before averting his gaze to the smaller man in front of him.

"I am lucky you remember." Jungkook flirted a little as he took a step forward very slowly and Jimin remained in his position. He suddenly did not know how to respond.

Jimin had seen this sober and gentle man in the club but what he was seeing now, it was not like Jungkook was not being a gentle man, that he was, but he also was exuding energy which was making Jimin hot and attracted towards him.

If Jungkook was here to get back on Jimin, then he was not ready for it. He had suffered too many heartaches in too less time, but, if Jimin was Jungkook's love interest then it would be a wonder.

Jimin understood in last few weeks that he cannot get married to guy for his hotness. His promiscuity made him realize. Those men were not chivalrous. Jimin only fooled around with them just because they were hot.

When he started looking at potential life partners, starting from Jungkook, his expectation was that the man must be hot with sense of fashion and should also be decent in other aspects, specially after he was assaulted once, he was scared. He needed someone respectful towards him.

First one who he came across was Jungkook, who undeniably was sexy but Jimin judged him based on his somber career choice. A doctor who wears formal shoes and olive gingham shirt to a bar. 

Jimin met with others but he did not find anyone remotely close to how Jungkook was. Jimin when finally quit on groom hunting he regretted his first rejection. He wished he had given a chance to Jungkook.

Sure, the man had no sense of fashion but once they would get together, he could have compromised a little and worked on Jungkook to change what he did not like in his style. But it was too late.

Now the same man stood in front of him. Not that same gingham shirt guy, but a fashionable suave man who impressed Jimin in a jiffy and took his breath away.

"Um, what are you doing here? Did I miss something?" Jimin asked.

"I will tell you everything. Do you mind me asking you out so that we can sit and talk some place nice?" Jungkook replied with same subtle smile.

Jimin's heart felt a spark which originated from somewhere in his body putting him in frenzy. He was squealing on the inside but on the outside he looked clueless.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked.

"Definitely not Stripwards Club." Jungkook teased Jimin a little but he regretted it when Jimin became conscious rather than laughing at it.

"Jeon Jungkook." A voice interrupted them and Jungkook turned to find Maciej.

//Fuck! I forgot about him.//

"Who is he?" Maciej asked as he charged towards them and Jungkook involuntarily stepped in front of Jimin so Maciej could not harm him in any way.

"I am sorry Maciej but how did you know I was here?" He asked.

"You are shameless Jungkook." Maciej replied.

"I apologize. I should have done this before, it was not working out between us. It is better for us to go our separate ways." Jungkook apologetically said and Maciej looked at him and then peeked at Jimin who just shrugged his shoulders.

"I- " Maciej did not have words. He looked around and doused a bottle of water on Jungkook's face who flinched his eyes close and Jimin gasped.

"Don't call me." He said and then stomped out of the room.

"That was my plan Maciej." Jungkook uttered at retreating figure.

He turned towards Jimin who had wide eyes and plain face. They looked at each other for few seconds and then burst out laughing.

"Man! That was something." Jimin said as he picked a towel from stand and dabbed it on Jungkook's face to dry it.

"He assisted me from dismissing you from my mind." Jungkook replied vaguely and Jimin's hand stopped mid way as he embarrassedly blushed. He knew by now that Jungkook was here because he liked him.

"Hey, what will it take for me to see that smile again?" Jungkook asked as he slowly leaned to eye level of Jimin and slowly pulled the towel from his hand to dry himself.

Jimin then flashed the man a pretty smile which he did not know, but set off fireworks inside the other man.

"Shall we?" Jungkook offered his hand and Jimin gave his palm to the taller who held it possessively and walked out of the building.

Just as they walked out, three men came yelling towards Jimin and hugged him.

"That was damn good. It was just immaculate. I am so proud of you." Taemin chirped uncontrollably.

"Yeah, and did you hear us rooting for you? We did that." Hobi said proudly.

"Entire Korea heard that." Yoongi replied and took notice of the man standing behind them who had a fond smile on his face. These three did not let Jimin say a word so he could stop them or introduce Jungkook until Yoongi asked himself.

"Aren't you going to introduce your friend over there?" Yoongi pointed and Jimin flushed into a red tomato with embarrassment.

No one could ever make Jimin blush like this as he used to be the shameless flirt. It was cue for Jungkook to take control of the situation.

"Hi, I am Jeon Jungkook." He offered his hand to Yoongi which Taemin grabbed and shook.

"The Doctor?" His face was shocked. Before Jungkook could reply he turned his frame to Jimin.

"The same Doctor you have been simping over?" He asked with same wide eyes and Jimin fluttered his eyes shut at the ground.

"Yeah.." Hobi now pried Jungkook's hand away from Taemin and held them.
"He ate tons of ice cream, crying over you." He said and Taemin nodded agreeably, looking at Jungkook.

"These scoundrels." Yoongi shook his head while Jungkook had a mischievous grin plastering his face.

Jimin could not break his gaze away from the ground and fiddled with his fingers.

"Leave him." Yoongi smacked Hobi's heads and he left Jungkook's hand.

"Move." He dragged both men by the collar and now Jimin held his head high, sparing thankful glances to Yoongi.

Jungkook looked at Jimin who was not able to make eye contact with him. "They were... Um, exquisite." He said to Jimin who pressed his lips together in tight smile.

"After you." Jungkook knew Jimin needed to be distracted so he beckoned the man towards his car and Jimin followed.

They got inside the white SUV and Jimin put on the seat belt while Jungkook turned on the stereo and adjusted the AC for Jimin.

He then lurked behind to get something from back seat. "These are for you." He gave Jimin a small red roses bouquet with three big chocolate bars.

Jimin smiled so wide that his eyes disappeared. "Thank you. No one ever gave me chocolates."
