My Blind Date is a Gangster | Taejin ✓

12. Wild and Free

✴ Taehyung ✴

I can see that Jin is getting excited as we enter the registration office. I'm glad that he seems to like it as I've never done this before for someone. The things I would do just to fuck a rich, beautiful CEO! Tsk!!

"Hey Tae, this looks like a member-only place? It might cost a fortune to be able to get in, are you a member here??"

I smirked at my baby, "I know what you're thinking. You think I don't have money to become a member?"

"I am not saying that. I was asking if you're a member here." Jin rolled his eyes.

"Pfft, member my sexy ass! Just relax, I got this!"

I tapped the counter and the lady walked to us. "Hey, is Xiuminie here?" She went and called someone from the back and then Xiu came out, greeting us with his gummy smile. I swear, Yoongi and him can form a gummy smile fandom of their own.

"Tae!! Hey bro! Look at you, here I thought you were just playing me when you said you're taking someone on a date." Xiumin chuckled, then he leaned over the counter to see us closer, more like to see Jin closer.

"Shittt! Aren't you that chaebol's son that was featured in the Hamptons magazine just recently?! KSJ Properties, right?!"

Seriously, why does everyone seem to know Jin when I haven't seen him before Namjoon showed him to me?!

I pulled Jin closer to me and hugged him by the waist, "This is my baby, Jin. This is Xiu, an old friend of mine. We don't need to be members, he'll let us in anytime. Right bro?!"

Jin nudged me with his elbow so I let go of him, "I am not your baby!", he whispered and stepped away from me to shake hands with Xiu,

"Hello, I'm Jin. Thank you for accommodating us."

"Sure, I owe Tae, saving my ass a lot of times already! I might've been already six feet under the ground if it wasn't for him. So this is nothing.

..At first I couldn't believe someone got Tae to date, as the cold and snob that he is, but seeing you, I totally understand why." Xiumin winked at Jin which made me roll my eyes.

"Ok bro, not in front of my salad! Let's get goin'!" Jin looked like he's holding his laugh.

Xiumin giggled but then turned away and got us our gears. I took one helmet and started to put it on my baby, "Ok, come here and bow down your head a bit!"

"I can put it on my own, just give it to me please."

I shove his hands as he tried to take the helmet from me, "No! I'll put it on you, it's part of my dream list. This is supposed to be a sweet and an uwu moment, but you are ruining it!"

"Fine! How can it make me feel uwu when you are being demanding?! 'Come here and bow down your head a bit!'" Jin tried to mimic me rolling his eyes and in a comic way.

I am getting impatient, he's really being a baby now. I guess me calling him baby is getting to his head so much.

"Ok, how should I put it then?!"

"Well, maybe you could've just stayed silent and gently hold my head in place then put the helmet on me while staring at my eyes-- something like that!!"

"Ok fine. Stay still!!" I brushed sideways Jin's hair on his forehead with my fingers and placed the helmet on his head, then I was gently adjusting the strap under his chin when my eyes landed on his.

I stared at him for a while, no words spoken. He's just got the most beautiful face I've ever seen. I leaned forward for a kiss, but he quickly hit me on my chest, laughing hard.

"If that is still part of your dream list, I bet by the end of this date, you have already undressed me!!" Jin said still laughing, but I'm actually getting pissed.

"What's so funny? Didn't you find it a sweet moment between us?!"

"Haha oh gosh, Tae! I didn't take you for a cheesy one. Really. C'mon let's go!" Jin clings on my arm, which made me smile a bit as he flashed me a smile too before dragging me to walk.

*******

We are now ready to go as we take an ATV each. Then Jin said, "Oh no, you should've told me not to wear white sneakers! This is a limited edition St. Laurent, and now it'll get all muddy!"

"You're unbelievable! I asked you if you're sure about what you're wearing coz I said they look expensive and so white, and you said yes!!"

"You didn't say what we're going to do, how am I supposed to know?"

I can't do anything more but sigh. Then I started to go and lead the way up the trail. But Jin quickly caught up with me and wanted to be upfront.

The weather is nice. The sun brightly shining down Jin's face made him look even more beautiful. His smile just makes me feel better in so many ways.

But I know, no matter how I flip and turn the angle of our lives, we are very much from different worlds. I don't even know why I'm doing this. I guess maybe I'd just like to take the chances of spending time with him.

I wasn't lying when I told him that I felt something else when we kissed. It's not just lust, I know it. Sure he is hot as hell, but I was willing to just spend time with him, even without fucking. I can't believe myself that I can keep it down up to a second date without doing it. But I didn't really care about it anymore, I just want to make Jin smile more.

My thoughts are disturbed when Jin looked back at me and shouted, "Tae, let's speed up a bit?!"

I nodded then he smiled and turned, "Lezz gooo!! Woohooo!!"

"Hey Jin, not too much!! Aaisshh!" I guess he's just too excited.

*******

We reached almost the peak of the trail already and stopped near the edge to look at a really beautiful view.

The lake at the bottom of the mountain looks like a small pool from up here, the waters are reflecting the sun's rays like diamonds. The greens from the trees are looking so vibrant as they sway with the wind.

I looked at Jin, leaning at his ATV, inhaling the fresh air as he closed his eyes. I smiled. Again. I can't count anymore the times I smiled just by staring at him like this.

He then looked at me, "This is so beautiful, Tae. Thanks for bringing me here."

"Sure. I'm glad you seem to be enjoying even if your sneakers and clothes are already full of muddy specs!"

"Nah, these are things that are easy to replace anyways. But this-- this experience, it's something else. I've never felt more wild and free than I am right now. Thank you."

Jin smiled at me, it's true. He seemed so reserved during our first date. It is nice to see him enjoying this moment right now, not caring about a damn thing. Then a thought came to me,

"You know baby, I remember there was one time when I climbed a mountain trail too with my two best friends, and we reached this kind of view as well. I was feeling all so tired and hopeless that time coz of my fucked up life, but I've been keeping them all to myself as I didn't want to worry my little brother.

..Then I felt so free too when I shouted out to nowhere everything that's making my chest heavy. Why don't you try it? Just stand by the edge and shout out anything you want. No one else would hear them anyways. No paparazzis, no people who would judge you. It's just me here. And you know you can trust me, right?"

Jin looked hesitant, "Here? I would just shout it out loud?"

"Yeah. The louder you can, the better."

"Just anything?"

I nodded, "Yup. Anything that burdens you or anything that you'd like to say but can't."

Jin bit his lips, I think he's thinking about it. Or maybe he doesn't trust me enough. Then he muttered,

"Okay. But uhm, can you-- hold my hand while I do it?!"
