Short Story 18: Without the plaid shirt

"Hello! My name is Jung woon, it's really nice to meet you." The man said who was supposedly Jimin's date for the night. Not that he wanted to have one in the first place but Taehyung told him that it would be good for him to let himself go a bit and find decent people.

You're probably wondering about why he wasn't so pleased with getting a date. Well it all started not too long ago when Jimin got into a relationship with a man who surprised Jimin in the best way possible. He showed up to Jimin's work with flowers, chocolates and his favorite drinks. He made sure to give Jimin a treat everyday and take him out to the most expensive restaurants. And it made Jimin happy. Sounds like a dream come true right? Wrong.
The day when Jimin finally decided to move in with his boyfriend was the day everything changed for him.
His boyfriend continued to surprise him but.. it wasn't the normal euphoric feeling. It was out of distress, confusion and heartbreak.
He stopped giving Jimin flowers, chocolates and drinks. He stopped taking them out to expensive restaurants because "You're too fat" and "I need my money for better things".
The guy had an obsession with plaid shirts okay. Like a huge obsession. Keep that to mind because relationship got so toxic that the color plaid was traumatizing to Jimin because every single time he'd hit Jimin was always when he was wearing a plaid shirt.

Ever since that relationship, any guy who wore a plaid shirt was a no go. He'd pick up all his shit and walk out in a hurry to get home and try not to have a mental break down. What was worse is that every single date he went on, every guy wore a plaid shirt and it became hard to find someone who was unique and didn't think that plaid was the way to go on a first date.
And here he was, on another date, when he just about had it, with another dude, wearing a fucking plaid shirt.
"Hello! My name is Jung woon, it's really nice to meet you."
Jimin sighed, "I'm Jimin but I actually have to go. I'm sorry. Have a great night" he stood up and walked away, hearing the mans protests to stay but Jimin had enough.
The next week was the same. Taehyung convinced him to try again with another guy he thought would actually work.
"Tae come on. Why? Why do you feel the need to hook me up with random guys. They are never for me." Jimin never told Taehyung about the plaid theory he had, mostly because he was afraid he would tell everyone to not wear it on the first date and he honestly just wanted it to be a natural thing where they wear something unique.
"Because I just KNOW that there is a person for you. I just know it. Gut feeling." Taehyung teased before continuing. "I did so much research on this guy too. He seems to be super sweet and he's LITERALLY everything that you have been looking for! Pleaseeee please go on this date" He whined, begging Jimin until he was practically out of breath.
Jimin just sighed before agreeing and also threatening to kick Taehyungs ass later if it turned out to be a waste of his time.
A week passed and he was getting ready for his date. If Jimin was being honest, he wasn't trying really hard considering this would be his 10th date ever and he was expecting this one to be a waste just like the others.
As he walked into a very different restaurant, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the sudden different location. Normally all his dates would choose ONE restaurant which was a steak tip restaurant and at that point he was memorized the location at heart because it's where he had to go every single time. This time though, it was clear that this man had taste.
He stepped towards the front desk, saying that he had a date with someone and he'd need a table for two.
What shocked him further into oblivion was the woman's words.
"Oh yes! I'll bring you to your table. Your date is already there"
His date was already there-
Are you you serious? That's new.. usually he was the first to get there and wait an half hour for his date who would stumble in muttering apologizes for the most idiotic excuses for why they were late.
She walked him to his table and there sat a man in his 20s. His hair was a black color and a bit long, only to his chin and he was wearing a plain black button up shirt and a nice jacket over it.
Not plaid.
The first guy he has ever went on a date with wasn't wearing plaid and that immediately sparked his attention so he smiled at the man who smiled back. A cute bunny smile.
The man got up and pulled out Jimin's seat, gesturing for him to sit and he pushed him in, taking a seat across from him.
"Hello, my names Jeon Jungkook" he smiled, holding out his hand.
Jimin just smiled, taking his hand and shaking it.
"My names Jimin. It's nice to meet you"
