FIFTY SHADES OF JEON || BOOK 2 JIKOOK ✅ (18*)

JIMIN POV

The attention of the entire restaurant is trained on Tae
and hobi, waiting with bated breath as one.

The anticipation is unbearable.

Silence stretches like a taut rubber band.

The atmosphere is oppressive, apprehensive and yet hopeful.

Tae stares blankly at hobi as he gazes up at him, his eyes wide with longing—fear even.

Holy crap, Taehyung.

Put him out of his misery.

Please. Jeez—he could have asked him privately.

A single tear trickles down his cheek though she remains expressionless.

Shit! Tae crying?

"Yes." he whispers, a breathy, sweet acceptance—not Tae-
like at all.

For one nanosecond there's a pause as the entire restaurant exhales a collective sigh of relief and then the noise is deafening.

Spontaneous applause, cheering, catcalls, whooping and suddenly I have tears rolling down my face, smudging my makeup.

Oblivious to the commotion around them, the two are
locked in their own little world.

From his pocket hobi produces
a small box, opens it and presents it to Tae.

A ring and from what I can
see, an exquisite ring but I
need a closer look.

Is that what he was doing with Gia? Choosing a ring?

Shit! Oh, I'm so glad I didn't
tell Tae.

Tae looks from the ring to hobi then throws his arms around
his neck.

They kiss, remarkably chaste for them and the crowd goes wild.

Hobi stands and acknowledges the approbation with a surprisingly graceful bow then, wearing a huge self-satisfied grin, sits back down.

I can't take my eyes off them.

Taking the ring out of its box, hobi gently slides it onto Tae's finger, and they kiss once more.

Jungkook squeezes my hand.

I didn't realize I'd been
gripping his so tightly.

I release him, a little embarrassed and he shakes
his hand, mouthing. "Ow."

"Sorry. Did you know about this?" I whisper.

He smiles and I know that he did, He summons the waiter.

"Two bottles of the Cristal
please."

"The 2002 if you have it."

I smirk at him.

"What?" he asks.

"Because the 2002 is so much better than the 2003." I tease.

He laughs. "To the discerning palate, Jimin."

"You have a very discerning palate and singular tastes."

I smile.

"That I do." He leans in close.

"You taste best." he whispers
and he kisses a certain spot behind my ear, sending little shivers down my spine.

I blush scarlet and fondly remember his earlier demonstration of the quite literal shortcomings of my dress.

Mia is the first up to hug Tae
and hobi and we all take turns congratulating the happy couple.

I clutch tae in a fierce hug.
