Nascent

Chapter Six

The party continued with an air of celebration and camaraderie. Laughter echoed through the spacious penthouse as guests enjoyed the meticulously prepared food and shared stories. The low chandeliers cast a warm glow over the elegant space, creating an atmosphere of comfort and joy.

As the night progressed, guests gradually began to bid their farewells. As you talked with the remaining ones you felt Jin's hand leading you to a less noisy corner, "Times up! You know how packed the CEO's schedules are" he said with a warm smile "Well i don't know how you made time for this but thank u for coming" u said him as you lead him to the coat hanger. "I'll always make time for you Y/N '' he mutters under his breath as you lead him to the door. "Thank you again for inviting me, have a great night" with a final hug Jin bids farewell to you. After you returned to the main room you noticed Jimin's following gaze on you but you didn't it pay it much attention as you found lily and chatted for a while to catch up on things. "So how's it going so far?" you asked " Well, the food which i am sure you didn't make so you better give me the card of the restaurant your ordered the food from or the name of the chef who made it because it was immaculate " she replies teasingly as you roll your eyes playfully "No I didn't order it or hire a chef, Jimin said his best friend owns a series of high class restaurants and so he asked him to cater something for this evening." you respond with a shrug

"Jimin huh? Seems like you've grown close to each other in the span of two months" she teasingly nudges you to see Jimin's gaze being locked on ours once again. "Lily you're delusional it's nothing like that" you reply quickly " I didn't say anything" playfully raising her hands in defence. "I need to get going now. I need my beauty sleep after all, you know my fans would want to see me in my best form, '' she said as she dragged you with her to the coat hanger and started to put on her long black winter coat. "I feel like I haven't seen you in ages, we need to hang out soon. Maybe you could bring your cute neighbour too. '' she suggested with a smirk "Goodbye Lily" You said as you waved goodbye to her and closed the door behind her.

With the last guest gone, Jimin approached you. "Well, it looks like it's just us now," he remarked with a playful grin.

You glanced around the living room, noticing the remnants of the lively celebration—and the mess it left behind. "Indeed. Funny that you came late and left last" you chuckled softly "Well maybe i thought that you'll need my help: he replied as he looked around the room. You respond with "Thanks for sticking around to help clean up," you said genuinely

Jimin shrugged casually. "It's only fair. I helped you set it up, after all."

With a teasing smirk, you replied, "Alright, Mr. Park. Lead the way."

Together, you tidied up the living room, collecting empty cups and dishes. The ambience shifted from the lively celebration to a quieter, more intimate setting. The kitchen, dimly lit, welcomed you with its cozy vibes. A marble island served as a focal point, and the air was infused with the scent of the vanilla and sandalwood fragrance lingering from earlier.

As you worked on the dishes, Jimin washed while you dried. The rhythmic sound of water and the clinking of dishes created a soothing soundtrack to the task at hand. Amidst the routine, Jimin remarked, "You've got quite the company. I was expecting to meet your whole bloodline tonight."

Teasingly, you asked, "Is that why you were dressed to the fullest?"

Jimin chuckled, "You know what they say; first impressions matter."

"I would've invited them if they lived here, but they don't. They said they'll visit on their next vacation," you explained.

Jimin nodded, "Oh, well, the rest of your company seems fun."
