THE NEVERENDING TRUTH

CHAPTER 5

Recap 🦋

Jimin didn't even move an inch. He maintained the proximity of their faces. Jiwoon's eyes that were fixed on his glistening eyes now moved to his lips. They were plump and dangerously pink. Jiwoon forced her eyes to look back at his eyes but she found them drifting towards his lips again and again. She was sure Jimin must've noticed this by now and she didn't want to give him the satisfaction that he was successful in luring her. Jiwoon put her hands on his shoulders to push him away but he started leaning closer instead.....

Jimin continue to lean in while Jiwoon could feel her heartbeat rise. She closed her eyes, her hands still on his chest. She clutched on his shirt ready to feel his lips crush on hers but that didn't happen. She opened her eyes to realise Jimin looking at her face with a slight smile. Then he started backing away and she was relieved.............or was she?
"I will go get a table for us"
Jimin said with a smile while he unlocked the door. He left the car before closing the door behind him. Jiwoon was too fazed to speak, she was blankly staring at his back that soon disappeared into the restaurant. She was battling with her feelings, a part of her wanted him to kiss her but a part of her was relieved that he did not. She didn't want to lose her first kiss to someone who probably was just doing it for fun and lust.
"Yes sir, how can I help you?"
"Can I get a table or two?"
"Sure sir, I would arrange that table by the window, would that be fine?"
"Yes, of course, thank you so much"
"It's my pleasure sir"
The waitress started arranging the table for them while Jimin was lost in a string of thoughts about whatever happened between him and Jiwoon in his car. He wanted to kiss her, he was going to kiss her but her vulnerable expression and the fear and uncertainty on her face got the best of him. He wanted to kiss her but not amid this lack of trust. He wanted her to trust him and give in to him. He was feeling something, he didn't know how far this was going to go or how deep this went. But he was certain about one thing, he had caught some feelings for her.
"Jimin?"
"Oh.....there you are, what took you so long?"
"Uhm......I was just....fixing my makeup"
"Oh ok, well, let's go sit"
"Yes"
Jimin went over and pulled the chair out for Jiwoon, she thanked him in response and sat down.
"I already ordered it for us so I hope you like it"
"It's fine"
Jiwoon responded with a smile. She didn't know what to say or how to act around him anymore. Jimin was stuck in the same thought. The silence among them was getting awkward and none of the two has any idea about how to break it.
"Here is your order, I hope you enjoy your meal"
"Thank you so much"
The waitress smiled in return and left.
"Wow, I love steak! How did you know?"
"I don't know just my instinct maybe?"
Jimin replied with a light chuckle. Jiwoon couldn't help but smile when she saw him smile.
"I'm sorry about what happened in the car"
"No, it's ok.....I am sorry too, you were weirded out because of me right?"
"What!? No! I was not, don't be sorry. It's not your fault"
They ate their food while talking about themselves and getting to know each other better. After their dinner, Jimin paid the bill while Jiwoon was waiting for him in the car. She saw him coming out of the restaurant and was amazed by how gorgeous he was.
'He is so beautiful and for what? Looks like he's been sculpted by the Gods themselves, or maybe he is one of them cause he definitely looks like one'
Jiwoon snapped out of her thoughts when Jimin entered the car.
"Let's go"
He said as he stepped on the accelerator. The ride was peaceful and calm. None of them said anything. Jimin was driving while Jiwoon was looking out of the window enjoying the town glistening in the beautiful night lights.
Jimin pulled over to the driveway and opened his seatbelt. When he looked to his right he saw a peacefully sleeping Jiwoon.
"She must've been tired"
He chuckled to himself. He wanted to wake her up but decided not to when he saw her sleeping so peacefully.
He went over to the other side, opened the four and her seatbelt and carried her inside. Eunjin was sitting in the living room waiting for them.
"What happened!?"
"Shush, nothing she fell asleep in the car"
Jimin whispered and shouted at which Eunjin heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. She was very happy seeing them so close. Her plan about sending them on a tour seemed to gave worked.
"Thank you so much, Mr Park, I really appreciate you taking care of Jiwoon, can you please take her to her room?"
"Yes of course"
Jimin carried her upstairs and put her on the bed, he slid her heels off her feet and put them in a corner. He covered her with the duvet and tiptoed out of the room.
