STRAWBERRIES & CIGARETTES [CHAPTER 2]
-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-
Jungkook reaches the company at last. He stands there with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath which has been knocked out of his lungs a long ago. "I wish I wasn't this careless and didn't miss the bus."
He gulps, glancing at his watch. A smile lifts on his face when he realized that he was there on time but he was drenched in sweat. He shrugs it off. At least he was there on time. They informed him to be there on time but didn't say that he can't be there with sweat dripping from his face.
Jungkook tugs his ebony hair back, licking his chapped lips. The corner of his mouth quirked into a crooked smirk when he saw some girls whispering and fanning themselves.
Jungkook was self-aware that he was a hot and charming guy. Well, who can deny it? It's a fact after all. Who could have thought the shy, nerdy Jungkook could be so hot and confident in future.
Walking to his path he tossed some flying kisses and winked here and there. The girls almost passed out. Every girl desired to be his girlfriend-but too bad his standards were much higher than they thought.
All the girls were ready to be on their knees with just his smile-but he wasn't the type of guy to fool around unlike his Hyung.
He believed that love was not a game, it's a matter of feelings and we should never play around with feelings. He was a sucker of romance–although, he teased girls—that is another story. Why would he waste his youth? He should at least have some fun.
Jungkook was enjoying it to his fullest but it all came to a halt when a door came into his sight. All the girls raised their thumbs, encouraging him. Of course, they would, no one was this handsome in their company. They wanted him to be hired. "Who wouldn't though?" he thought.
Before stepping inside, a soft smile touched his lips. Although he knew it was just because of his face at least they encouraged him.
He heard some of the girls quarreling with each other at 'which girl he smiled at. Jungkook shakes his head, grinning and enjoying it. If only he could watch the drama a little bit.
He knocks on the door a little too loudly for the other's liking. "Come in." A faint voice could be heard from inside. He took a long exhale before opening the door and going inside.

Jungkook's leg was bouncing up and down, his eyes quivering, biting his nails—ruining their perfect shape. He tried his best to look professional and put a smile on his face-but anyone could tell it was forced.
Jungkook hands his file to the man sitting on the chair. He couldn't really tell what was his age because even when he had white hair and a white beard, he was still in a good shape. He was admiring him and the old man was reading his file. He raises his eyebrows in amusement.
"Jeon Jungkook." He calls. Jungkook shouts keyword: shouts yes.
The person sitting there sucks in a breath, not satisfied at all even before the interview begins. "You never gave any interview before?" He questions starting at the young boy curiously.
Jungkook shakes his head, denying it. "I have given many interviews sir." The old man cocks his brows. "Then why your CV is written as if a toddler wrote it." Jungkook chuckles, his shoulders moving up a little.
"I'm also a toddler." He mumbles. The old man frowns, it was unexpected. "I mean I'm not that old yet." He answers plainly, that's what he believed he was not that old yet.
"You are 21 aren't you?" He asks. "I am–but don't you think my life has just started yet?" The old man nods at his answer, agreeing with him but he wasn't satisfied with his unprofessional behavior.
"Why do you need this job?" Jungkook hums thinking of an answer. "Because I want money and probably want to work?" He says what his brain thought of–quite honest with his answers.
The man was quite amused and thought of this boy as honest and bizarre at the same time.
He sighs starting at the Jungkook who was grinning cheerfully. A soft smile takes place over the old man's face. He pats Jungkook's shoulder.
"You are a young man. You need to explore the world more." Jungkook tilts his head in confusion. His silky locks falling on his sides, tickling his forehead. Jungkook was confused at the statement. He was here for a job not to get judged.
"I will inform you about your job in a few days." Jungkook internally scoffs. He knew what he meant by this. He probably don't want to hire him.
"Hah! He also didn't like this company anyway." A deep frown settled between his brows, hidden by his brown locks. He internally scoffed.
He stands from his place bowing to the man before taking his leave. He comes out of the room pouting and sulking.
"What did I even do wrong?" He pouts, mumbling to himself. He leaves the building, not paying attention to the girls anymore because his mood has been ruined by an old potato sack.
"Now, I have to go home walking!" He groans. Today's day was the worst in his life. He might be exaggerating it but he wasn't used to this at all.
If only he would have woken up early. A sad pout forms on his lips. Suddenly an idea pops up in his head. Finally, he decides to call his Hyung. "Hello! Hyung can you pick me up?" A long silence on the other side of the phone made Jungkook gulp.
"Where are you?" Jungkook jumped with joy, interrupting the directions with a grin on his face. He muttered a thank you to his lovely Hyung before hanging up. After interpreting the directions to his Hyung, he stands there lazily, patiently waiting for him.
Jungkook was gawking at the sky, lost in his world when a loud screech could be heard. He exactly knew that his Hyung has arrived. He lazily turned towards the noise. The window rolls down and the pink-haired boy gestures for him to come inside without looking at him.
He moves to the car and hopes inside without wasting a second. "Wah! You're looking cool!" Jungkook compliments amazed by his cool Hyung. His lips form into a smirk.
"I know there's no need to say that and stop buttering me." Jungkook scoffs at his behavior. He was just praising him! "You should say thank you instead of saying I know and I'm not buttering you." He rolls his eyes at Jungkook, scoffing.
"Why would I say thank you? I know that I'm cool and yes you are buttering me." Jungkook tsk at the elder's behavior. He expected better from him. "I see Hyung you have been hanging out with Jin Hyung a lot." He chuckles at the younger's comment. "It's fun to hang out with him though."
"So why were you here without your car?" He cocks his eyebrow at Jungkook. "Wait let me guess, this all happened because of yourself." Jungkook could only nod, he knew him well and Jungkook hates it.
"Care to a spill the tea?" He sighs before explaining. "So, I had an interview today-"
"And they didn't hire you?" He interrupts Jungkook before he could say anything, Jungkook pouts at his Hyung teasing him but he lets it slide and continues.
"My dad had a bet with me last night that I won't wake up early-" "and the exact thing happened." He again interrupts him, making Jungkook annoyed to the core.
"Will you let me finish? Will you?" He chuckles at the younger frustration, nodding at him to go on, doing mouth-zipping gestures. "So he declared that I will not wake up and I got frustrated because he says that every time-" "but every time you prove him right."
He nervously smiles at the younger glaring at him and quickly lets out a sorry. He doesn't want to fracture his bones by a buff boy sitting on his left.
"So this time I made a bet that I will wake up early, so, dad said if you woke up early I will give you anything you want and if you didn't I will not give you your car for one week. So, here I am." He chuckles at Jungkook's story.
"Why would you do that when you know you will not wake up early?" He questions looking at the younger curiously. "Jimin Hyung-" he was about to say something when he takes in the surroundings, only to be reminded of someone.
"The girl with blue eyes." He mumbles under his breath, the girl's eyes were corrupting Jungkook's mind like money corrupts criminal minds. He was ready to make her his girlfriend but too bad he didn't even know where she lived or what was her name.
He wished that he could meet that girl again. Only God knows where she lives and what she does.
Who did you think he was?
Jin or any other member? I left many hints, like 'cool than spill the tea' it can only be jimin who likes tea.
He knows the whole industry's tea lol.
[Who is the girl? Where does she live? Idk anyone🤐 *sips tea while smirking*]
(HAPPY 9th ANNIVERSARY!!!! Omg! I'm so happy! I hope they keep making music and keep inspiring people with their beautiful messages! As beautiful as they are themselves, they also share beautiful messages to help people who are going through the worst.
I'm sad that I wasn't a part of the fandom before even though I knew them—I still regret it but still, I'm happy that I became a part of this fandom and got to know these beautiful angels. They inspire me a lot and their songs always make me joyful when I'm sad. I love them so much! I will keep ranting about it so I think I should shut my mouth up lmao.)
Anyways I posted this chapter because of the BTS anniversary or else I thought of posting this way later.
Take care! and enjoy today's day
and make beautiful memories!
