Mafia Fanboy || Jeon Jungkook ✓

5: Lip Balm

I walked back to the mansion and my mom lunged at me. "How was the date?" She asked and I nodded my head with a smile. "Good. It was good." I said and she gasped.

"What?" I asked her and she covered her mouth with her hands. "You actually said that it was a good date for the first time!" She cheered while clapping her hands.

"Well, it was comfortable with her. She was a good human." I said but my dad came to us. "Are you trying to imply that the previous ones were not?" Dad asked and I chuckled at him.

"Not that but yeah. It was good." I said while recalling my time with Ari. "I was totally unaware of this girl. I had an idea about the previous ones but for this girl, I had no information at all. Her father just reached out to me and I agreed. Even her own father didn't say much about her." He said and I nodded.

"Yeah, she said that she and her father are not on good terms so I guess that is why he couldn't say much about her. Anyways, why did you call me again? To hear about my date?" I asked and saw my mom going back to the kitchen.

"That was one reason but the main reason is something else." He said and extended his hands to give me a file. I took it from him and opened it to read.

"You have a mission in a few days. Here are the details. I know that you do things alone but this one is a bit dangerous so I thought to give to file to you by myself. Plan things with the boys and then go for it." He said and I nodded.

I shut the file to look at him with a smile. "Okay, Boss. I won't let you down. I promise." I said while crossing my fingers and giving him a smug look.

He chuckled and nodded. He came to me and held my shoulder. "I know you won't, JK."

-------------------

It has been two days since the date. No texts, no calls. Nothing from Ari. I sighed deeply and read through the documents in front of me.

"So we are leaving in a few hours?" Yoongi asked and I nodded.

"Everyone is well aware of our plan, right?" I asked and looked at everyone in the meeting room. "Yes, boss!" They said in unison and I nodded.

I had a cold look plastered on my face. Well, this is my work face to scare kids away. I have to act rude and bossy in front of them. All of the people here had started working since my dad was the king and I trust everyone here.

My thoughts were cut off when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I kept the documents on the desk and took my phone out.

As I read the name on the screen, my eyes bulged out. I quickly answered the call and placed the phone close to my ears. "Hello! Ari! Good evening! Wait! Good night! No, it's almost 4.15 am. Good morning!" I said and bit my lips while shutting my eyes in frustration.

Great start, Jungkook! What a way to greet someone. You embarrassed yourself in front of her once again. I heard her hum at my voice and then she continued.

"Where are you, Jungkook?" She asked with her honey-like voice and I frowned at her. "Umm . . . why may I ask?" I asked.

"Where are you, Jungkook?" She asked again and I hesitantly replied to her. "Jeons Royale Headquarters. The main building. Why, Ari? Do you need help?" I asked since it was too early of a time to call someone.

"I'll be there in 5 minutes. Please get down in front of your entrance." She said and before I could say anything to her, she hung up the call. "Ari? Ari? Jin Ari?" I called out but it was too late.

I sighed and tilted my head while closing my eyes. I opened them again only to find my six friends and some other guards staring at me weirdly. "I- I need to go down. Urgent business." I said but Jin stopped me.

"We will come with you as well. Just in case you need help." He said and I shook my head at him. "No no. I can handle it myself-"
"Let's go, Jungkook." Hobi cut me off and swung an arm around my shoulder and pulling me out of the room with the other friends following behind us.

They took me to the elevator and got in. "As far as I remember, Jin Ari was the name of your blind date," Taehyung said and I nodded.

"In between the mission, I completely forgot that Jungkook had a blind date. How did it go that day?" Namjoon asked but before I could answer Jimin did it for me.

"Judging the way she is still contacting you and you are gladly answering her and not avoiding meeting her. I think that it went well." He said while smirking and the elevator door opened.

"Where to?" Yoongi asked and I gestured my head toward the entrance. I walked forward until my eyes met a familiar figure.

She was standing there with a straight yet arrogant face while holding a paper bag. She was wearing beige trousers with a white cardigan and a huge DSLR camera hanging from her shoulder using the camera strap.

She just had a lip tint on her face but still, her face was glowing as ever.

She looked up at me and then her eyes roamed around the men around me until she started walking towards me. She held the paper bag in front of my face and I took it from her.

"What are you doing here, Ari? This early in the morning?" I asked while looking into the paper bag to find a long box in it. I took it out and opened it to find an expensive watch having a blue stone in the middle.

"This is my first time buying a present for someone so I don't know how it is. I went to the jewelry shop yesterday and my eyes fell upon this and I thought that it will suit you. I don't want you to wear it every day because this won't be the only gift I will give you. So don't be sentimental over just a single gift and wear this every day because I hate people wearing the same thing for too long." She said all at once and everyone around me gasped.

I smiled at her gift and then looked up at her. She didn't have a smile on her face but looked into my eyes deeply. The way we look at each other is more intimate than any other relationship can be.

"Thank you so much, Ari. This means a lot. I feel so bad. You even paid for the date last time and today you bring me this gift." I said and she smiled, slightly her eyes looking down my eyes and I frowned, following the movements of her eyes.

Then she said something in a monotone like a robot which made all of our jaws drop.

"What is the flavor of your lip balm? It was delicious."
