Chapter-6

Author's pov:

Thursday

His long slender fingers danced on the keyboard while his blue orbs were fixed on his laptop screen, his mind in a beautiful reverie starring the boy who humiliated him yesterday.

"Fuck," Jimin groaned, fisting his hair as he looked at his laptop screen, whatever he typed till now was all about the boy.

'He is so cute!!!!! I wonder what he is doing now. Ah, I can't help but think about him. Why?????????? He has been running in my mind since yesterday, oh god I can't focus!!!!!'

He looked down and cried ruffling his hair, he was so frustrated that he couldn't focus on his work. There was a meeting in an hour and he was afraid, what if he zoned out? What would everyone think of him? Taehyung and Falynn would make fun of him again.

Talking about Falynn, she had called him at midnight asking about his crush that Taehyung had informed her of. She had completely ruined his sleep schedule as she kept blabbering about how he would feel the whole day tomorrow and it seems like she was right.

He gently banged his forehead on the glass table with a whine, "Please, let me focus." He begged in his mind as he tried to shake away all the moments from yesterday.

He sat still for a moment before sitting back straight, composing himself and getting back to check the files when Taehyung barged into his office and slammed a file on his desk with a scowl decorating his face while he shut his laptop in a hurry and placed it aside.

"Here you go, fucker."

Jimin looked at the file and then at his cousin as he snorted, arched an eyebrow at him and asked, "Is this how you behave in front of the CEO, Mr. Kim?"

Taehyung scoffed and took a step back while shoving his hands inside his pants pocket and shot a glare at him, "Says the one who ordered the Chief Creative Officer to do a background check on his crush and submit it by this morning or may I say, during the working hours." He said with a tight smile fixated on his lips.

Jimin cleared his throat as he tore his gaze away from him and faltered, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kim. You can get back to your wo-"

He was interrupted by another slam on his desk, "Can your thank you stop my yawns and vanish the tiredness in my body, Mr. Park?" He questioned, hitting his index finger on the desk making Jimin sigh and hold the bridge of his nose.

He hissed, "Taehyung-ah, I'm sorry, okay? Please don't be mad at me." He pleaded, showing his big doe glistening eyes which Taehyung ignored. He added, "How about I make an appointment for you at a spa?"

Taehyung's eyes lit up and a smile was plastered on his lips immediately. He winked at Jimin and blew a kiss at him, "I surely need that. Thanks," He uttered, skipping his way out of the office leaving him to sigh and slump in his seat.

"I promised myself to not waste money," He cried with a cute pout and then his expression changed into an enthusiastic one as he grabbed the file and opened it.

His eyes fell on the passport size photo attached on the top right corner of the page, there he was, his little cute angel. He traced his fingers over his picture and smiled widely. He looked at his information and went through some of them as he still had a few minutes left before the meeting.

"Jeon Jungkook." He mumbled and smiled to himself, he finally got his information. He giggled and hugged himself when suddenly his door opened and Falynn walked in with a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Park, here-" she halted in her tracks as she saw how Jimin fumbled with a file and then hid it under the file folders making her feel suspicious of him. She narrowed her eyes at him and took slow steps towards him making him sweat profoundly.

'Why was everyone barging into his office today?'

He thought and smiled at her. "Hey, Falynn. Thanks for the coffee." He said, reaching out to take the cup from her.

"It's black tea." She corrected him with a small smile lingering on her lips as she gave it to him, Jimin blinked and cleared his throat embarrassed. She then directly asked, "Were you going through your crush's information?"

Jimin stuttered, he couldn't lie as Falynn would catch him in a second so he just sat quietly and let her pull out the file from beneath the folders and go through it. She squealed loudly as she saw Jungkook's photo, making him sigh.

"He is so cute! Omg!"

"Please, give it back," Jimin requested, extending out his hand.

She sat in the chair opposite to him and gasped as she read out loud, "He is the son of Mr. Jeon Il-won?" Earning an astonished look from her boss.

"Jeon Il-won?" She nodded. "As in the man who kept flattering me in our recent party? The CEO of Luxe advertising agency? That Jeon Il-won? He is that Jeon Il-won's son?" He bombarded her with questions making her roll her eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Park. He is that Jeon Il-won's son Jeon Jungkook," She replied, laughing and watching him gasp softly and then snatch the file from her and go through it.

Falynn held the cup and took a sip of the black tea as she said, "He is in the same year as Tan and he has a knack for painting and riding bikes. He doesn't like ordinary and cheap things, his preference is rich, rich and rich. Interesting."

Jimin kept the file aside and asked, "And what's interesting about it?"

She moved closer and explained, "See, you prefer local restaurants and food but he doesn't, he finds them disgusting. He likes everything that's expensive but you are not like that, you think of ways to save money.

"You both are totally opposite and if you guys end up with each other, it would definitely be exciting to watch you guys get along. Oh and there surely will be arguments regarding your likings."

With a sigh she added, "It will be hard to win his heart, he will probably dislike you due to those reasons."

Jimin thought it over and declared, "You said, He likes anything that's expensive which means he will like me too because obviously I'm very expensive."

Falynn looked at him with her mouth hung open, she was at a loss of words at his logic. She licked her lips and shook her head with a heavy sigh. This was tolerable as Jimin is a person who has never been attracted to someone before so it's understandable that he won't get anything what she was trying to tell him.

"But hey, weren't we aligned with Mr. Jeon?" He asked, clasping his fingers together.

"Yes, he was in charge of advertising  the Serene products and blue company perfumes," She said, after recalling which of their subsidiaries products were being advertised by his agency.

Jimin hummed and flashed a smile at her, "Thank you, you can leave now."

Falynn reciprocated, "Oh and the meeting is in fifteen minutes-" she pushed the black tea to him, "-And I took a sip."

"It's fine with me." Hearing that she bowed and left the office. Jimin sipped the black tea and scrunched his nose at the taste, he then diverted his attention back at his Jungkook's information.

It would definitely be a roller coaster ride for him to make a place in Jungkook's heart but he won't give up at any cost. This was the first time someone had caught his eye, how can he let them get out of his hand so easily? Nobody has been able to escape from his eyes, he won't let Jungkook escape as well. He was excited to get to know him.

"Jeon Jungkook," He sang, fishing out his phone to make an appointment at a spa for his dear Taehyungie, he left a message to his secretary to do it and placed the mobile aside. He already imagined the pout on Falynn's face after reading his text, she would want to go to a spa too. An evil chuckle left his mouth, it would be so amusing to see her sulking the whole day.

His phone rang startling him, "Oh damn! You scared me" He mumbled and looked at the screen.

Coconut Tree 🍻
Incoming call..

Slide to answer >

A smile was painted on his lips immediately as he answered the call, "Hey babe."

"Park Jimin, you got yourself a boyfriend now. You can't call me babe, it would hurt your first ever boyfriend," The person on the other line teased, stifling back a laugh.

Jimin chuckled, "I don't have a boyfriend yet. And you will always be my babe."

"Sure. Did Taehyung deliver the file to you?" The person asked.

"Yes. Thank you so much for working your ass off. Wanna go to a spa? I'll make an appointment for ya." He suggested, ready to call his secretary through the intercom but his babe refused.

"I would rather have lun- no, we can't be seen. Let's have dinner tonight."

He hummed with a sexy grin plastered on his lips, "Sure."

•

Their cheeks were almost touching each other as they posed goofily at the camera, the background looked like an expensive restaurant that gave off intimate vibes.

Jungkook sighed looking at the picture posted by Hoseok on his social media, Jin shared a glance between him and the post before smiling as he took his phone and put it aside.

"You look upset," He said, looking at the boy who now stared down at his shot of vodka. The two friends had planned on going to a bar suggested by Jin, who wanted to compare the bars in Korea with the bars in California. And nothing much of a difference was found, just the vibes hit differently.

"Look at them. They look so cute together, a match made in heaven. And here I am, with no match found," Jungkook pouted, his soulless eyes meeting his friend's that showed concern.

A sigh escaped Jin's lips with his eyes closed and then he looked at him, "Jungkook-ah, tell me why all of your blind dates are a failure," He said, making the latter blink at him before turning his attention back to his drink as he thought about it. He recalled all his dates and the reason why he never contacted them again.

"Because...? Because we don't like each other's preferences!" He nodded, staring at a far distance.

"That's it? That reason applies to all the dates?"

Jungkook shook his head and continued, "Some were too quiet while the others were too loud, and then there were a bunch of perverts and some didn't like the way I am. Some had a bad history and it was secret until you did a background check on them. Oh! Fanboys of my Dad, how can I forget it." He snorted at himself, remembering them and the nights he spent annoying Jin to do a check on them.

Jin knew almost all the reasons but one thing was hilarious and unbelievable, "Fanboys?" He asked, chuckling as he took a sip of his red wine and watched how Jungkook rolled his eyes and sniggered.

He hummed with a nod, "They find my dad more handsome than me. Fuckers," He cursed and chugged down the shot and coughed while wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

Jin laughed and patted his back, "Take it easy."

Jungkook turned his body to face him, with knitted eyebrows and frustrated tone he questioned, "Why can't I find a perfect man, hyung?"

Jin parted his lips but then zipped it up, how was he supposed to explain it to this kid? His eyes roamed around the interior of the bar as if he would find the answer written on the wall or hanging from the lights, it could also be hiding inside his drink, right? Yeah very funny, Kim Seokjin. He sighed before averting his gaze back at the impatient and curious boy.

"Okay, lend me your ears," He began, straightening his coat and moving closer to him, "In this huge world, the term 'Perfect person' doesn't exist. It never has. And it probably never will. So unfortunately, that's the reason why you can't find a perfect man for you." He said, nodding with a smile, completely satisfied with his answer.

Jungkook gazed at him blankly, he was expecting a good answer, after all he took a good minute to think. He groaned out of frustration, "Then I should probably forget about falling in love," He mumbled and turned around to order another shot of vodka.

Jin rolled his eyes, "Why? To fall in love, a perfect person isn't necessary."

Jungkook glanced at him, who hissed and added, "Yah, Jeon Jungkook. You have been rejecting all those men just because of their preference, which unfortunately isn't what you like and because they are living with so many flaws attached to them and that's one of the stupidest reasons I have heard and a major reason why you are still single, you know?" He rapped with his nose flaring and ears turning red.

"Is that why a twenty nine year old man is single too? Because you did the same?" Jungkook mocked, stepping on his nerves as he thanked the bartender and admired his drink, ignoring the way his friend was shooting a glare at him.

"You little-" Jin wanted to curse; morelike, hit his head with the glass but he controlled himself and forced on a smile, "For your kind information, I'm single because I had no time for love. And also, I'm not like you. Even if my date preferred something I don't like, I would not mind as long as they are a good person in and out," He uttered, his tone relaxed unlike before.

Jungkook heaved out a sigh, he was suddenly not interested in drinking, he wanted to understand what his friend was trying to say. He tore his gaze away from his drink and fixed it on Jin and asked, "What do you mean, hyung? Like, if your date loved to watch horror movies, you would be okay with it? Would you watch it with him if he asked you to?"

Jin bit his lips, he definitely didn't like horror movies, even if it is the last thing to watch on earth before dying, he would never. He cogitated about it, would he really watch it with his partner? He wasn't sure.

He would die in the first thirty minutes of the movie. However, with his partner beside him, it wouldn't affect him much, right? Knowing how he is scared of horror movies, his partner would definitely take care of him until the movie ends, trying his best to not let him freak out every few minutes.

And as time passes by, he will get used to watching them and his fear will vanish as well and his bond with his partner will also grow and if that's the case, he would rather watch it with his partner and that would be a plus point for their relationship. He smiled and met his friend's gaze, "I will. That sounds good to me or may I say romantic?"

Jungkook laughed heartily, "How is that romantic? Ah, you are unbelievable."

Jin sighed, "Jungkook-ah, when you have someone by your side who is ready to accept your flaws then you ask for nothing else but only them to be with you forever. And let me remind you, you are not perfect either. You have so many flaws."

Jungkook grew quiet while Jin continued, "If you can't stick with the fact that they're completely opposite of you in some ways, then sorry you cannot expect them to love you." He licked his lips as he stroked Jungkook's hair, "It's okay if they don't like nature, black, painting and music like you do. Not everyone has the same taste. We have different opinions too, don't we?"

He laughed as he saw a small pout forming on Jungkook's and he reminded him, "Remember when we argued over how you found the lavender scent of my room unpleasant, and the time when I absolutely hated the way you eat food like a pig?"

Jungkook blushed and nodded slowly, "That was before, now I eat properly." He mumbled, but he wasn't completely honest, he still ate like that sometimes.

Jin rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Sure. But, look at us now. We developed almost all of our habits, now even I eat like you when I'm alone and yesterday your room smelt of lavender. Similarly, to build a strong relationship, you have to accept the way they are and as time goes by you will be able to love them wholeheartedly." He elucidated as much as possible, Jungkook slowly nodded and hummed.

"But hyung, I want someone who can... Who can love the real me, the real Jeon Jungkook, the sassy and cute me. I don't want to change just because they don't like how I am. Why do I have to change for someone?" He yelled, his eyes brimming but he blinked them away. He considered himself a strong man, and men never cry.

Jin knew what he was talking about, he recalled those days when Jungkook would be very angry as he ranted about how some of his dates would ask him to wear colorful dresses as they didn't like black, or the accessories he liked to wear and many more.

Jin panicked, "Hey hey hey, nobody will ask you to change, even if someone does, you don't have to. Being yourself is one of the most important things in your life." He paused for a while and then whispered, "Be patient, you will find him soon."

Jungkook shook his head as he turned to his drink and chugged it down again, he wanted more because he was getting frustrated. But Jin wasn't going to let him do that, he had classes tomorrow and there was no way he would let Jungkook wake up with a hangover. He quickly took out his wallet and paid the bill ignoring the whining boy.

"I want to drink more!"

He stood up and dragged Jungkook out of the bar, "You need some fresh air."

As soon as they reached outside Jin released his hand and looked back at him, "Will you forget about it for now?" He asked, crossing his arms.

Jungkook sighed and threw his head back as he breathed the cold air which slowly calmed his mind. He was glad that he wore extra clothes otherwise he would be shuddering now, but he loved this feeling. The feeling of watching the crescent moon smile at him, the enchanting scent of night and the quietness, he loved it all. The nighttime surely had an effect on him.

"Mr. Nyctophile, shall we head back home?"

Jungkook giggled and looked up at his hyung, he approached him with slow steps and wrapped his arms around him, surprising him with his sudden affection.

Jungkook had missed him a lot, after all he was coming back after 9 years. He couldn't express his emotions last night as they were busy chatting about Jin's life in California so he took this as a chance and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you, hyung." He mumbled against his chest, even though it came out muffled Jin understood it. He smiled and hugged him back.

"Took you long to say it, dummy." The two guffawed, not leaving each other as they found themselves warm and comfortable.
