JIMIN POV

"We're doing this." I wrapped
my arms around Jungkook's neck.

"We're really doing this."

It was closing day.

In less than an hour, we were going to be the proud owners
of the bar.

I hadn't known how close
we came to losing the
place, either.

Allen hadn't been too pleased
by all the sick time I'd taken
and thought it might be my
way of trying to back out
of the contract.

Thankfully, Trudy put him in
his place and then in full
Trudy style, she called me
to gossip about it.

Turned out the entire place
was rooting for me, It was
nice to have her on my side.

"We are." He brushed his
lips against mine.

"And if you keep smelling so irresistible, we'll be late."

I sighed and backed away just enough to grab his hand.

"Let's go, my love."

We walked inside the lawyer's office where the closing was being held and ended up in
a conference room with far
more people than I expected.

Everyone was there for their
cut and they could have it.

All I wanted was the piece
of paper that said the place
was mine.

It turned out it was a folder
of papers but twenty-million signatures later, we were
handed the keys, the bar officially ours.

"Thank you, Allen."

My words weren't enough.

He was giving me a dream
when he'd have walked out
with more money by giving someone else more for their portfolio.

"I'll make it work."

"Then do yourself a favor
and rename it."

"Give it some pizazz, some youth, I don't know...class."

I couldn't help it.

I hugged the man.

"If I knew my advice was
worth that, I'd have been shelling it out for years." He teased as I let go of the poor guy.

"Let's go and get all of the accounts shifted to your name
so you don't end up with
delays in delivery, shall we."

The task was easier said
than done, the three of us spending most of the
afternoon back at the bar
and crowded in the office.

If he hadn't been there to
help, I couldn't imagine the headache that would've
ensued.

"That should do it."

"I'm off to find my relaxation
and possibly a bird."

"A bird?" Jungkook asked.

"Yeah, a bird...like a pet."

"I heard that's a thing down there." He half shrugged.

"If you need anything call
me but you won't."

"You've been here long
enough."

"Glad that bone infection
didn't kill you." In his own
way, he was being sweet.

Still weird but there you go.

He left, happier than I'd
ever seen him.

The place must've really been weighing him down.
