So Sweet, So Cold

Chapter 15

Distant shoes' tapping the floor can be heard until they can't anymore because of the loud noises. Several bar workers and bartenders bowed as Park Jimin walked gracefully in the bar, politely smiling and slightly bowing back to the people. With his blue suit along with his peach coloured hair, he was looking stunning under the neon lights.

Jimin moved to the VIP area's couch from where he could get a clear view of the bar. The waiter came towards him and offered him a drink. Accepting the drink, Jimin took a sip and looked over at the bar one more time but suddenly something or more clearly a certain someone caught his attention. He put the drink on the table as he recognised who the person was. Shoving his right hand in the pocket, he moved closer to the person for confirmation on his assumption with a concerned face.

"Taehyung?"

The said male looked up from his drink with hooded eyes to find from where
his name was called. With wide eyes, Jimin sat beside Taehyung.

"Taehyung ah. What are you doing here? Are you alone? Where are your friends?"

Squinting his eyes Taehyung tried to get a clear view of the person who was bombing him with questions. Taehyung was drunk but he was enough sober to recognise someone or at least he wasn't that drunk to blackout.

"Hyung. Jimin Hyung."

"Yeah, It's me. Are you ok, Taehyungie?"

Swaying a little Taehyung grabbed Jimin's face with both of his hands, pulling him closer he started to tap his cheeks as if making sure he wasn't hallucinating.

"Why are you here, Hyung? I didn't come to your club. Did I drink? No! I didn't!" He said looking at his half-finished tequila

Jimin sighed. Maybe Taehyung doesn't know but almost all clubs in Seoul is owned by the Park family and he is the new owner of all of them. Jimin is familiar with Taehyung, Jungkook, Hoseok and Yoongi. They often come to his clubs. And after getting close with them Jimin often used to make their drinks. Jimin is fond of them. They all are playfully nice kids. Also, he maybe grew some special feelings towards Taehyung. But he knows he doesn't stand a chance cause Taehyung is straight and off not into guys. Still, he couldn't help it, its feelings after all. He couldn't stop feeling this way for the latter even he tried not to.

"Are you alone here, Taehyung-ah? Anything wrong? Something happened?" Jimin removed Taehyung's hands from his cheeks and made him sit properly on the tool.

Taehyung laughed hysterically. "Anything wrong? Hahaha! Anything? Nothing is right Hyung! Not anymore. I can't do this anymore." Taehyung shouted sobbing and gulped the remaining drink in his glass.

Jimin got startled. But he assumed something is really not right with this boy. "Tae-

"What is your sexuality, Hyung?" Taehyung cut Jimin off before he can finish his sentence.

"Umm...I am pansexual. Why Tae?"

"Does your family know about it?"

"No. But that doesn't matter, I don't think it's something they would be concerned about. But why Taehyungie?" Jimin wasn't getting what's going on.

"It just feels great to be the one you are in front of all, right? You can take your life decisions. To be so independent about your choices and decisions not following orders? Not live in others expectations? Right?" Taehyung said absentmindedly with a sad smile looking at his empty wine glass.

At this point, Jimin got a bit worried. Taehyung used to be always happy, joyful and cheerful. Never for once, Jimin saw him sad. But he is realising there was always another sad smile behind those happy smiles, the tears restraining eyes behind those sparkling eyes, the playfulness covering the loneliness. So, worriedly Jimin was thinking about what to do right now. And suddenly the face of Jungkook flushed in his mind. The best friend of Taehyung. Where is he? Taehyung needs him right now.

"Taehyungie, Where is Jungkook? Is he with you here? Should I call-

Before Jimin can finish his sentence Taehyung throw his glass at the floor after gulping the drink hard and shouted, "YES! IT'S JUNGKOOK. And I AM FUCKING JEALOUS OF HIM."

Many people in the bar are now looking at them. Jimin was shocked but he acted fast. He got up from his seat and pulled Taehyung with him before he can make any more scenes, mouthing an apology to the people in front of him.

He brought Taehyung to the vacant room that was for himself to rest, who was still very much drunk and angry. Jimin made him sit on the couch and took out the first aid box as Taehyung hurt his hand while breaking the glass. He crouched down on the floor taking Taehyung's hand in his hand, cleaning his cut and applying the medicine gently. This whole time none said a word. Though Taehyung was a bit tipsy he was much soberer now. He just kept observing Jimin who was very careful not to hurt him. Jimin was always so nice to him no matter how he behaved. So after a good amount of minutes, he broke the silence.

"I am gay."
