His Sanctuary [Jikook]

Chapter 13

JEON JUNGKOOK'S POV

A few weeks had passed now, and by a few, I mean three weeks. Exactly three weeks had gone by, and it seems like my life is going all too well, too well that I'm even getting suspicious of it. Knowing me, there's always something happening in my life... but these days it has just been too quiet. Jimin and I are... we're talking. But we still haven't gone on our date. I'm just waiting for him to finish his exams before I go out with him, I don't want to disturb him because I also want an educated boyfriend. Did I just say that? Well, I'm not lying... I do want an educated boyfriend, and it's going to be him.

As of now, I was in my club at my office. I haven't been hands-on in the running of the club, but I do come once a week to check if we're making good sales and if the club's popularity is increasing. I looked at the books and nodded in satisfaction. I gotta hand it over to the manager. He's working extra hard. The sales are much higher than the previous week... that means more money. Who doesn't love money?

"Good job, bro. Keep up the good work. Oh, and if you feel like there's too much work to do and our staff is limited, you have my permission to hire more people. You need all the help you can get around here." I said to the guy I hired to be the manager.

"Really, Mr Jeon? Well, EUPHORIC NIGHTS has been getting more and more crowded. We need to get some more people to help out. We also need to have some kind of entertainment just to keep the customers that we already have." He said.

"Like what? Getting some famous musicians to come and perform?" I asked.

"Yeah, something like that, or... we could get dancers... you know."

"Dancers?" I asked, but I kinda get the feeling that I know what he's talking about.

"Yeah... exotic dancers. Men spend more money when there's naked women around. I'm sure we'd make a killing if we were to get a few girls to dance around in poles." He explained.

"This is not a strip club." I said, looking at him dead in the eyes. He cleared his throat and looked down.

"I know, Mr Jeon. I'm just saying that it would bring in more money. Besides, it wouldn't take much from your pocket. The poles were built in while the club was still new. All we needed were qualified dancers. That's all." He tried to reason with me. Well, I know that would bring in more money, I guess it's worth a try.

"I'll think about it. You're excused." I said to the manager. He then got up and quickly bowed to me as he made his way out.

I sighed and looked at my phone. It was calling out to me. I wanted to take it and dial his number, but I was trying to hard to resist and stop myself.

"Would I be wrong if I call him?.... aish... you called him 30 minutes ago Jungkook. He'll think I'm obsessed with him, no. I won't call... I don't want him to think I'm obsessing over him." I mumbled to myself as I diverted my eyes from my phone. Yeah, I definitely won't call, I don't want him to get annoyed with me. He's only just started taking me seriously and enjoying my company.

"Just to check if he's fine... only to check on him." I persuaded myself more and grabbed my phone quickly before I could come to my senses. I dialed his phone number, which was the most dialed number on my call log. God knows what type of love portion he fed me. I'm literally going crazy over him.

"Jungkook?" He said upon answering. He seemed shocked that I had called him.

"Jimin... Hey." I said, damn... why is my heart beating so fast. Why am I nervous? He's just a kid.

"Uh... is something wrong?"

"No... no, not at all. Uhm... *clears throat*... I was uhm... I was just checking up on you." I said. Why can't I talk, right? Why am I stuttering? Why do these feelings I have keep growing? At this point, I fear that I have someone that I value more than my work... and he's not even my boyfriend yet.
