"Do you want to call him?" he asked, his tone of curiosity.

Jimin shook his head, still looking at the man with a hint of confusion. "No, I don't think so."

Jungkook's mood darkened slightly, his sulking evident as he turned his attention away. Meanwhile, Evan, who had been sitting quietly, was now slouched over, drooling slightly and looking like he was in a food coma.

Jimin glanced at the note again and said, "I won't call that man. Anyone would freak out if they knew I'm not rich and that I'm an orphan with problems." He chuckled softly, adding, "The man is probably trying to get me into something inappropriate. Yoona warned me about stuff like this."

Jungkook's curiosity was piqued. "Yoona? Who's that?"

Jimin sighed and explained "Yoona and I lived together at the orphanage for years until she was adopted. She's my best friend. She used to tell me about people like this."

Jungkook's expression softened, realizing the gravity of Jimin's situation. "I'm sorry, Jimin. I didn't know."

Jimin gave a sad nod. "It's okay. It's just my life."

Jungkook reached over, gently tucking a strand of Jimin's hair behind his ear. "You'll achieve all the happiness you deserve soon" he said reassuringly. Jimin managed a small smile, appreciating Jungkook's kind gesture.

Jungkook gazed at Jimin with adoration, his eyes softening. "You know" he said, "you're so beautiful, Jimin. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you." His voice was sincere, and he reached out to gently take Jimin's hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. Jimin's cheeks flushed with a warm blush, touched by the unexpected compliment.

As they sat in the luxurious restaurant, the ambiance filled with soft music and the gentle clinking of cutlery, Jungkook gazed at Jimin with an intensity that made Jimin's heart flutter.

"You know" Jungkook began softly, "You're so beautiful, Jimin. I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you." His voice was filled with sincerity, and he reached out to gently take Jimin's hand, giving it a squeeze. Jimin's cheeks flushed a warm pink, his eyes dropping to the table as he smiled shyly.

"T-Thank you" Jimin whispered, feeling a rush of emotions. He had never received such a heartfelt compliment before.

Jungkook continued to hold his hand, his thumb gently brushing against Jimin's skin. "Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend?" he asked, his voice laced with curiosity and something deeper, perhaps a hint of hope.

Jimin shook his head slowly, his eyes still avoiding Jungkook's. "I can't" he replied softly.

Jungkook nodded, understanding. He took a deep breath before sharing his own story. "I'm a single parent to Evan" he began, glancing at his son who was still struggling with his full belly, looking adorably sleepy.

"It happened due to a one-night stand with an actress. She got to know too late, or she would have aborted my little baby." Jungkook's voice softened as he spoke about Evan, his love for his son evident in every word.

Jimin's eyes widened slightly, listening intently as Jungkook continued. "She came to me crying, and I asked her what she wanted. She said she wanted to abort but couldn't because it was past four months. I was furious. I slapped her because it was my baby too. Rather than asking me to get married to her, she just wanted to get rid of him. I wasn't capable of letting that happen."

Jungkook's grip on Jimin's hand tightened momentarily, his eyes darkening with the memory. "I took her to France, and after Evan was born, I threw her out of my life. She tried to come back, kept asking me to marry her or give Evan back, but I didn't. She's a famous actress in our country, you see. After that, I've been raising this little elephant myself." He glanced lovingly at Evan, his eyes softening once more. "I tried some caretakers, but he's so naughty, and I don't trust anyone with my precious chubby baby. Sometimes he cries about his mother too."
