HER

p. 11 Sweet

I sat there on my bed, staring at my ceiling.

He was going to kiss me....right?

I held my forehead; it felt like it was throbbing. I don't think I had ever felt more confused in my life.

I wasn't going to lie to myself, of course I was extremely attracted to Seokjin.
I just didn't think I had any feelings other than annoyance or frustration towards him.

But I couldn't stop thinking about the way he looked,
and the way he looked at me,
...and his touch.

My heart won't stop racing...

I covered my eyes and groaned.
On top of recalling my time with Taehyung, and that sweet kiss, I knew there was no way I was going to be able to get any rest.
I rolled over to my nightstand and grabbed my phone:

Taehyung 💜:
-I hope work went well and you accomplished what you needed. I'm anxious to see you again.

Jimin 🐶:
-NOONA I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR DATE. TAE TAE WON'T TELL ME ANYTHING. HE IS BEING SO MEAN. T____T

-Come to lunch with me & JK. I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING!

I scrolled through some more messages from my mom and best friend, Melissa. After replying, I sent Jimin a text accepting the lunch date.
I paused at Taehyung's.

I do like him. Hell, I'd be stupid not to. And I have no idea what's going on with Seokjin...

I sighed and replied that everything went well.
And that I couldn't wait to see him again too.

Taehyung 💜:
- 🙂
- Tonight?

I blushed and smiled to myself.

So soon? He's so impatient...
Well, I did cut our date short.

I agreed and told him to pick me up at 7.

Before I put my phone away I got a text from Lee Gun Ho:
- Meeting with the clients this afternoon at 4. Hope you were able to get rest.

I glanced at the time: 12:34pm
I sighed.

This is going to be a long day...

I rushed to meet Jimin at a hot pot restaurant he said was amazing.
He was looking as gorgeous as ever in an effortlessly stylish outfit.
Seated next to him was the beautiful Jungkook, who still couldn't manage to make eye contact with me.

We ordered and made small talk.

I learned that Jimin was an entrepreneur, a quite successful one, apparently, who invested in his lover Yoongi's indie music label.
Jungkook was the son of famous KPOP star who signed with Yoongi's label with a great talent for music himself, though he preferred to stay in college and playing sports, for now.

So, all of these perfect looking men being friends is starting to make sense...

"How do you all know Seokjin?" I asked.

"Jin, Namjoon and Hoseok were friends before, and they all made music together." Jungkook explained to his bowl, "They found Yoongi when they were searching for producers, and in turn befriended Jimin, Taehyung and I."

"Tae and I went to school together." Jimin added fondly, "He's a rich brat, but he's our sweet eccentric heartthrob."

Wait...

"Seokjin plays music? Like, drums or something?" I asked.

Jimin laughed while Jungkook snorted.

"I would love to see Jin attempt the drums..." Jimin mused, "But no, he can play the guitar and piano though. And he's actually a gifted singer."

Thankfully my mouth was full of broth, or it would've hung open.

I wouldn't have ever guessed that windshield-wiper-laughing rude supervisor of mine was a talented musician.

But I guess he does look the part...

I blushed at the image of him at a piano when Jimin narrowed his eyes at me,
"Why are you asking me so many questions about Jin, when you should be telling me about your date with Tae?"

I blushed even harder.
I told them about the art gallery and what an amazing time we had up until I had to leave.

"Aw," Jimin pouted, "I was hoping for something more juicy. He was being so mysterious about it..."

"Well..." I added, taking a sip of water, "We did kiss."

Jungkook actually looked at me, his eyes widening before shyly looking away.

Jimin slapped the table and hooted, "That's what I'm talking about!" He leaned on hands with his elbows on the table, "So how was it? Was it hot and steamy?"

"It was... Sweet." I blushed again, thinking back on it.

Jimin groaned, "I'm going to have to speak to Tae about that. He should be giving you more than just sweet!"

Jungkook shook his head in disbelief at Jimin's forwardness.

That made me think...
"I know Namjoon is with Kia, and Jimin and Yoongi are together... What about you, Jungkook?" I asked leaning forward, "Do you have anyone special in your life?"

It was Jungkook's turn to blush.

"Jungkook is like Tae. He loves noonas." Jimin laughed.

Jungkook elbowed him, cutting the laughter into a whine.

"No, Josephine," he told me quite monotonously, "I don't have anyone."

"I'm sure you won't have any trouble," I replied smiling, "You're so polite and respectful. On top of being so handsome, you seem like quite the catch."

Jungkook practically turned a beet red as Jimin smiled and hugged him consolingly.

We chatted for a while after we were done eating.

I was so engrossed in our conversation, I was lucky I had glanced at a clock on the wall to notice it was getting close to my meeting.

I said my goodbyes to Jimin and Jungkook and took off.
"Don't worry," Jimin had said as I was leaving, "I'll remember to tell Tae to give you 'something more than sweet.'"

Oh boy..
