AT EATJIN

"Mr.Jeon?" Jin questioned. Tae was surprised, so was Jin. NamJoon was in the storage room the whole time so he had no clue of what was happening in the shop.

"Hi!!! How is Mr. Kim NamJoon now? Is he okay?" The guy with the doe eyes asked. Jin nodded. " Hyun-. Oh, Mr.Jeon. Hello. Welcome to EATJIN. Let me show you your table." Joon smiled till his dimples were visible but the Kim brothers could see through the fake smile. They sighed. Joon guided JK to an empty table and came back with his order. "Hyung, as per the agreement, we should deduct this bill's amount from the amount we should pay back JK Corp. " Joon informed and moved to the cupboard to refill the paper cup stack. Tae softly grabbed Joon's hand and asked him if he was alright. Even though it shocked Joon that Tae knew the fact that Joon had a crush on JK, a married man, he felt safe when he felt no judgment from his friend. Joon nodded and whispered that they can talk about it later.

JK's P.O.V

I called Jimin to come with me, he refused saying he is not yet ready to meet the beauty now. I didn't want to force him, so I told him I'll check on the beauty and be right back. I gave him a kiss on his temple and left for the cafe.

I felt relieved after I saw the beauty doing alright but something felt off. It proved when he gave me the fakest smile he could. Even though he showed me my table he kept a fair distance from me. 

Did I scare him off in the last meeting? 

I flirted with him while I ordered my banana milk. He again informed me he will detect the amount as per our agreement in a monotone and left. I was just watching him, mesmerized in his beauty. He cutely arranged the cups. But another guy, as per my research, his close friend, grabbed him by his hand. How dare he? But again who am I to him. I sighed. While gazing at my beautiful crush I forgot the time. My beauty disappeared into the staff-only room. That close friend of his served me my banana milk with a scowl. He tapped on the table to gain my attention. I looked at the table and found a tissue with something scribbled on it.

'Don't come here again, you are not welcome. As for the money, we will pay. Don't bother Joonie and don't you dare hurt him. Quit staring at him, instead, stare at your husband.'

I chuckled after reading it. I saw red. Who did he think he is? I was about to fight him, but the one at the billing counter came. I thought he was going to apologize but instead, he handed over some amount to me. "Please don't show up in front of our Joonie again. Don't flirt with him. You should be aware that you are married. I-" He took a long breath. "I don't want to sound harsh but can you please not show up again. This the half of what we owe. We will pay you the rest within the next 10 days. Please leave now." He motioned me to the door. This angered me more. "What did I do to receive your hostility?" I asked coldly. "You are hitting on our Joonie while you are married. We are looking out for our Joonie. I heard you love your husband but I don't know why your hitting on Joonie. " The cashier on said. "I wonder how betrayed your husband will feel if I tell him how you hit on our Joonie and you are drooling over him. I pity your husband." The one who served the banana milk said. With every single 'our' jealousy fueled me and when they involved Jimin I couldn't hold it anymore. "What the hell do you know?" I shouted at them. I was about to throw fists when my beauty came running towards us. He looked like he had been crying. He tried to stop the quarrel and some dragged his friends to the staff-only room. He quickly repeatedly apologized, I shook my head and told him that his friends can talk about me but not about my husband. I threw him a cold look and purposefully hit him with my shoulder as I walked out. I didn't take out the money they gave me. I didn't give him a last look and walked forward. Towards my company where my husband is waiting for me.

~~~~~~

I apologize for such a long delay.

I'm sad to know that SUGA RM and JIN have been tested positive with COVID. I pray that they get well soon.

Merry Christmas to people celebrating Christmas.
