Chapter 7. Champagne.

"To our beautiful 'Black Swan,' Jimin! Woo-hoo!" Rosè cheered, her infectious enthusiasm spreading through the place as she danced and clapped around Jimin. Hawasa, filled with joy, rose from her seat to embrace Jimin tightly, her happiness palpable as she squeezed him affectionately.

"I'm so happy for you!" Hawasa exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine warmth as she nestled her chin on Jimin's shoulder, and took seat beside him.

Jimin blushed at the attention, feeling overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from his friends and colleagues. "You guys are too much, but really, thank you so much for planning such a beautiful surprise for me," he said gratefully, his heart swelling with appreciation.

As the celebration continued, other alpha artists joined in, adding to the joyful atmosphere. The manager of the theater, Jin also came and took a seat beside Hawasa, raised a glass in toast to Jimin's success, further elevating the joyful mood in the room. Amidst laughter, cheers, and heartfelt congratulations, Jimin couldn't help but feel grateful for the incredible friendships and opportunities that surrounded him.

"Jin, you should extend the seating arrangements in the theater, as 'Black Swan' will definitely attract a lot of attention," Rosè suggested enthusiastically, settling herself on the other side of Jimin on the large curved couch.

Jin nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'm considering that option, especially since most of the shows are already sold out," he confirmed, shooting a playful glance at Jimin, who grinned in response.

Hawasa chimed in, teasing Jimin gently as she nudged his shoulder. "Oh! Somebody is in demand, I see," she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with amusement at Jimin's growing popularity.

"Stop it, guys. Your shows also get sold out, so what's the big deal?" Jimin interjected, his confusion evident as he tried to downplay his own success.

Hoseok, one of the alpha artists, chimed in, offering his perspective. "Yes, it happens, but never before the premiere show," he reasoned, plucking an olive from his martini with casual nonchalance.

Jimin glanced at Hoseok, considering his words, but before he could respond or change the topic, a waiter approached their table, interrupting their conversation.

A bucket filled with ice and a bottle of quite expensive champagne suddenly appeared on the table, catching the attention of Jin, the manager of the theater, before the waiter could say anything.

"We didn't order this. It must be a mistake," Jin remarked, a puzzled expression on his face as he looked at the waiter.

"Yes, I know, sir, but this is a gift for the celebration," the waiter replied before leaving them to ponder over the unexpected gesture. Confusion hung in the air as they exchanged looks, wondering who could have sent such a generous gift.

Jimin glanced at Jin, noting the confusion etched on their faces. However, Kai, another alpha artist, stretched his hand and confidently pulled the bottle from the bucket.

"It's okay, it's for celebration, right?" Kai exclaimed with a grin, seeking approval from Jin. When Jin nodded, giving him the green signal to proceed, Kai uncorked the bottle, releasing a satisfying pop that signaled the start of their impromptu celebration.

They all raised their glasses, toasting to Jimin's success and the unexpected gift. The champagne flowed freely, and soon, they had finished the entire bottle. Even Jimin, who usually avoided drinking due to how quickly he lost his senses, couldn't resist joining in the celebration. He had only two glasses, but they were enough to make him feel pleasantly tipsy, adding to the joyous atmosphere of the evening.

As they were engrossed in conversation, the waiter approached their table once again, causing all of them to turn their attention towards him.

"Um... who is Omega Park Jimin?" the waiter inquired, prompting Jimin to straighten up and raise his hand in confusion.
