CHASING YOU || JIKOOK ✅

JUNGKOOK POV

My hand shook as I reached for the door to Wild Orchid.

"You okay, man?" Joon asked, standing behind me.

I wasn't okay.

I was terrified.

I never thought I find myself walking into a gay bar.

I been thinking about coming out for months but none of the scenarios that had passed through my mind began with me walking into Wild Orchid.

It didn't matter though.

I was sick and tired of being a coward and I was ready to do anything to fix things with Jimin.

"Yeah, I'm good." My legs shook as I walked inside.

A guy who looked like he belonged on our defensive line was sitting on a stool in the doorway and he did not look happy to see me.

Joon reached over my shoulder and gave the guy a fist bump.

"What's up, Jake."

The guy nodded towards me without taking his eyes off Joon.

"He cool?"

Joon laughed. "Yeah man, He's harmless."

The bouncer threw me a glare of distrust. He looked back at Joon.

"I don't want any trouble tonight."

"Nah, dawg. He's cool," Joon said again with laughter in his voice.

Jake nodded as a slow smile spread across his face. "You boys have fun."

I took a few steps into the bar and began to take in my surroundings. It was different to what I thought it would be.

It wasn't crowded, but it was still early. Nobody was dancing.

There were only a handful of women in the bar. It was mostly guys. Guys sitting at tables.

Guys talking and laughing. Guys hugging. Guys holding hands.

I watched two guys kiss over by the bar, and I wanted that. I wanted to feel free like they did.

Joon leaned over so I could hear him over the music.

"Are you just gonna stand there? Let's go in."

I nodded. "I'm looking for Jimin."

"I think he's over by the bar." He pointed.

I nodded again. It was him.

His back was to me and he was leaning over the bar.

A cute bartender wearing a black tank top was talking to him.

I watched the bartender wink at Jimin before sliding a beer in front of him. Jimin turned around and leaned against the bar.

I watched him take a drink,There was a guy sitting next to him watching him, He said something to Jimin and Jimin laughed.

Another guy walked over to Jimin and stood next to him. He said something to jimin. He put his hand on Jimin's chest and Jimin laughed while he shook his head and moved the guy's hand away.

I felt sick to my stomach. Jimin could have any guy in this bar.

Why would he ever want to be with me?

I was wondering if maybe I made the wrong decision to come when Joon elbowed me.

"Jeon,What are you waiting for?"
