Midnight Blues

Something's Up Pt.2

It was noon and Jungkook was growing restless as he, along with the other club staff, waited for their meeting to begin. Mr. Park hadn't arrived yet, so they all made light chatter as they waited. Jungkook hoped Jimin would make an appearance. It had been a little too long, for him, since the last time he had seen the dazzling man. He swore it was a little unreal how good that man looked and every time he thought too much about it the conversation he, Namjoon and Hoseok had last night kept resurfacing. He shook his head to rid his mind of those thoughts. 

A few minutes later, a tall clean cut older gentleman stepped into the building. The man had cat-like, piercing eyes. His gaze was strong and sure. You could tell he was someone of importance because he carried himself as such. 

"Good afternoon, Mr. Park." The other staff said and Jungkook's eyes widened in slight surprise. The man slightly bowed his head as he sat at the head of the long table everyone sat at. He looked over everyone with a mild grin on his lips. His eyes stopped on Jungkook then a wider smile graced his lips. "You must be our new bartender. Glad to have you with us." Jungkook nodded as he smiled back "Thank you, sir. It's good to be here." 

Mr. Park cleared his throat before speaking, "I'm sure you all want to know why I have called you all here. Well, first things first, I wanted to congratulate you all on the rise in profit from the club. We have been getting more customers every night we're open, it seems. You all are, obviously, working hard and I appreciate it greatly. Secondly, I want you all to prepare yourselves, as well as the club, for a very important night I am having at the club this weekend. I have a group of very important men who will come on business and would like to have a place to relax during their trip. I expect you all to show them the best service. First bottle for each of them will be on me and all VIP rooms should be cleaned...ah Jimin! It's so nice to see you today."

Jungkook nearly snapped his neck by how quick he turned around to look towards the doorway. His eyes met Jimin's, who seemed to already be looking in his direction. As usual, he looked effortlessly beautiful. However, he seemed a little off as he glanced over at his father and smiled. "Sorry father. I wanted to be present for the meeting today. I apologize for being late." Mr. Park's eyes seemed to darken a bit as he stared at Jimin, who cleared his throat before sitting at the other end of the table. What the hell?

"That's alright Jimin. I was just letting the staff know about my business friends coming to the club this weekend. I expect them to be treated nicely. You will be here, I'm sure." Jimin's eyes slightly widened and his face fell into a slight frown but he quickly smiled sweetly at his father. "Of course, I wouldn't want them to have a bad impression of the club or our business, in general." 

"Exactly." There was an awkward pause but it seemed that only Jungkook noticed it. He glanced over at Jimin and noticed him fiddling with his fingers as he looked around the room until he met Kook's eyes again. Their stare was almost a little too long and Jungkook couldn't help the feel of chills that crawled up his spine. 

"That's all for today. Thank you all again and I will be checking in this weekend. Jimin, a word." Mr. Park smiled at everyone in the room but his smile fell a bit when he looked over at his son before walking out of the room. Are they on bad terms? If so, why? The others left out before Jungkook, followed by Jimin. 

"Jimin." Jungkook had spoken before he could stop himself. The man paused at the door to look at him. His eyes were so pretty but they seemed sad in this moment. "Yes, Jungkook?" His voice was soft but slightly raspy. 

Jungkook, instantly, felt nervous as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, just wanted to know how you were doing. Are you okay? I-it's also good to see you." What the hell Jeon?! Man up!

Jimin's eyes transformed into crescents as he chuckled at Jungkook's nervous gesture, "It's nice to see you again too, Mr. Jeon. I'm doing well. Excuse me while I go speak with my father." He turned to leave and Jungkook was stuck in a confused stupor. Why was Jimin being so formal with him? Was it because his dad was around? 

Regardless of the reason, he was going to wait around to make sure he would get the chance to speak again to the gorgeous man.
