A MAN TO HONOR

chapter nineteen

Kailah

We're both sitting on a small table in the middle back of the room

I thought that the restaurant would've been something big that looks luxurious

But it just a room that not even twelve tables would fit in cause there's a little stage in front and also a corner the musical instruments for the bands playing are laying

On each table there's a candle stuck inside a glass and a small bouquet of flowers

The room smells like fresh lavender mix with a smell of old, I don't know old what, but it smells so vintage, like something that could bring nostalgia to you

The patterned walls in the room are decorated with vintage posters in frames, decorative little mirrors, bands portraits, some jazz artists like Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles or Nat King Cole...

Even Michael Bublé has his little moment of glory on a wall

Everyone seems so genuine and they are all smiling and chatting with everyone

Even the oldest seems friendly with the young people

I didn't expect to like this place since this kind of concept is new to me

Honestly I grew up in noise...just chaotic endless noise

And everything that looks even just a little bit similar to serenity and calm seems boring to me

But tonight, I'm surprisingly enjoying the jazz night

The bands or the people to sing haven't started yet, but the song playing in the background is so pleasant to my ears

The soft melody of a duo between a saxophone and a piano envelopes the room in a gentle way, plus the little noises of porcelain plates or glasses add a touch of familiarity in it all

The place doesn't look as expensive as a five star hotel, but the whole vibe, the atmosphere and the ambiance scream expensiveness

And I like it here...

I didn't think that I could actually enjoy something Taehyung likes cause of how different we are from each other, but...it seems like I was wrong

" I like it here " I say with a smile

He smiles back at me

" I'm glad you like it "

We both are trying to erase the awkwardness that followed after our little argument in the car earlier, but its shadow is still floating between us

He looks incredibly good tonight

Navy blue three pieces suit with a white immaculate shirt, a tricolor tie that fits perfectly the whole vibe, the tie is a mix between the dark navy of his suit, the white of his shirt and light grey, this same light grey is sitting on his jacket pocket as a handkerchief

All his accessories are silver, his watch, and the thin pendant that is almost hard to notice around his neck and also the small pin on his jacket

If this place doesn't look super lavish yet this man is enough to fill it with lavishness

I couldn't help but think about what would I do if I marry someone like him

I almost can't figure out how to tie a tie knot perfectly

I feel like I would be just sitting in a corner and looking at him getting ready in those complicated but fancy clothes

Now I feel almost... irrelevant in my red dress
