Jimin's breath hitched and he looked at her in disbelief. "W-what?" Nabi pouted and looked at him through the mirror.

"I tried reaching it but these expensive clothes are a headache to me. I can't reach the zipper." She slurred. Jimin cleared his throat and turned his head to look away.

He approached her with slow steps and stood right behind her. He lifted his hands and held the zipper with his fingers, trying his best not to touch her bare skin. He held her dress in place with the fingers in his other hand.

Her citrus scent entered his nose giving tingling feelings to his heart. He was too close to her but he didn't mind it. His soft breaths hit her neck but she was too drunk to notice.

Meanwhile, Jimin gulped ignoring the sensations he was feeling. He pulled the zipper up and stepped back. He took a deep breath trying to calm down his hormones.

"Let's go!" He announced and Nabi nodded. She walked towards the door and Jimin followed her before letting out sharp breaths and calming his heart down.

They returned to their table and sat when Mr. Yuta spoke. "Mr. Park, the video controversy wasn't just an issue. We just think that investing in a company run by such a young CEO won't bring us any revenue. We just used the video as an excuse to back out."

Jimin snorted at his remark. "So you are just backing out because you do not believe in me?" Mr. Yuta nodded.

Jimin was about to protest when Nabi spoke. "The youth should be allowed to make them feel that they are a part of something meaningful, to connect them to networks of support, and to keep them coming back and having a voice in every field."

Jimin looked at her in shock like the other couple. "But Nabi we invest in the best projects. And investing in a company run by a young man is the worst risk we might take."

Nabi started laughing. "Bullshit! You are talking as if you started working after you became a grandfather. Somebody believed in you that is why you are in this position today. You should believe in Jimin as well. He would never let you down. He is already a successful CEO, he acquired this position because he is capable of it. You can not just discourage him by calling him young!" Nabi barked at Mr. Yuta and slammed her hands on the table.

Jimin was astonished at her behavior and so were Mr. Yuta and his wife. Jimin stood up and held her by her shoulders but she kept on glaring at Mr. Yuta.

"Nabi, are you drunk?" Jimin whisper yelled. "This man is degrading the entire youth. How can he demotivate someone like that? Someone like you?" She yelled and all the eyes in the room were at their table.

Jimin quickly picked up her figure in his arms and carried her bridal style away from them.

"Nabi I thought you were like a butterfly as your name translates. Beautiful with wings." Mrs. Yuta spoke but Nabi and Jimin heard her.

"Oh yeah? Well, guess what? If this butterfly can fly then it can sting like a bee as well." She yelled and Jimin hushed her in his arms. "Nabi, calm down. You are not in your senses. Don't fight with them for me."

Jimin asked the valet to bring in their car. He helped Nabi to sit in the passenger's seat. He fastened her seat belt when he noticed that she was already sleeping or probably passed out.

He sighed deeply and straightened himself. He was about to go to the driver's seat when a voice stopped him. "Park, wait!"

Jimin turned only to face Mr. Yuta standing. Jimin bowed his head at him and apologized. "I am sorry for her behavior, Mr. Yuta. She is slightly drunk." Mr. Yuta chuckled at him and shook his head.

"Oh no! No problem. She didn't say anything wrong about it. I became a CEO when I was about your age as well. My father believed in me that is why he decided to give me the position. So I decided to believe you as well. Yuta Foundation will invest in your next project. The deal is on." He said and Jimin's eyes widen.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Yuta. I will make sure that you won't regret believing in me." Jimin said gratefully.

Mr. Yuta smiled at him and said. "Well, thank your girlfriend, Nabi. She made me realize this. And the way she fought with us just for you was really impressive. She is a keeper, Park. You are lucky to have her."

AFTER A WHILE

Jimin carefully placed Nabi on the bed of the guest room in his penthouse. He decided to bring her here instead of her place since it was quite late and her house was far away.

He got rid of her heels gently and covered her body with the duvet. He sat at the end of the bed and took a deep breath.

And the way she fought with us just for you was really impressive. She is a keeper, Park.

Those words kept on lingering in his mind. He turned to look at Nabi. She was looking so different from the other days.

She is so beautiful. Her personality is even more charming. She is no way less attractive. She is just lazy to dress up and wear makeup. He thought and unknowingly a smile crept up on his face.

Nobody fought for him as Nabi did. Her actions today made a special place in Jimin's heart. "Good night, Nabi."

THE NEXT MORNING

Nabi woke up and slowly blinked to adjust to the environment. Her eyes widen and she immediately sat up on the bed grasping the new place she was in. She remembers having dinner with Jimin and Mr. and Mrs. Yuta.

I had good food and then wine... Oh, wine! I was drunk. But what is this place? A hotel? She thought.

She removed the duvet from her body and realized that she was wearing the dress from yesterday. She got down from the bed and found slippers near the bed beside her heels.

She looked at the clock and noted that it was half-past 6 and the sunlight outside said that it was morning. She walked out of the room and saw a huge living room with an attached kitchen.

This can't be a hotel. This is someone's home. She thought.

She spotted a door on the other side of the living room and decided to check on it. She tiptoed to it and was about to knock on it when she heard voices.

"The deal is final. Yeah, somehow Mr. Yuta accepted to work with us." Jimin spoke on the phone. Nabi placed her ears on the door and tried to overhear the conversation.

"There was a reason. You need not know the details, Suzy." She could hear a muffled voice and realized it was Jimin's.

So this is his house? This is Jimin's house? Why was I here? She thought and she pushed her ears more into the door but because of that the unlocked door opened causing her to fall to the ground with a squeak.

Jimin turned his head to look at her and his eyes widen. "I'll see you in the office." He said before hanging up on the phone and running to Nabi.

He crouched in front of her and asked her in concern. "Are you alright?"

Nabi frowned at him and tilted her head. "Why are you acting this way? And why am I in your home?" She asked while standing up. Jimin raised his eyebrows at her before asking.

"You don't remember last night?"
