Jimin sighed as he pulled into the gas station, the neon lights flickering against the midnight sky. His shift at the Valeria Hotel had been long and exhausting, and he was looking forward to getting home to his Grandma and his cat Whiskers. But during his silent car ride, he suddenly saw his fuel gauge almost run out of gas so he made a quick stop at the nearby gas station, He parked his car next to the pump and slid out of his seat, the cool midnight breeze greeted him welcomely, changing the ambiance from the stuffy hotel lobby.

As he began refueling his tank, he glanced around the nearly empty station, he tilt his head backwards his gaze colliding with the gas station canopy, inhaling deeply as he briefly closed his eyes, he felt the tension between his neck and shoulders subsided, he exhaled slowly, relieved when he felt his shoulder and upper back start relaxing.

The convenience store's bright lights caught his eye, he noticed two familiar figures inside, his eyes squeeze a bit as he tried to figure them out. His brows raised when he recognized them, Ms. Aurelia, the elegant and wealthy occupant of the Valeria Hotel, and Taehyung, a man he had recently met.

Jimin was intrigued by Taehyung's persona, Taehyung had tipped him a decent amount of bill when Jimin came back to retrieve their finished dishes in room 148, during his short break in the hotel he had spent a few minutes searching online, He discovered that Taehyung was not just any man but a well-known high paid model and celebrity, admired for his striking looks and charismatic presence. Jimin seeing him now, in such an ordinary setting, baffled him.

They were standing close together, laughing and chatting as if they were old friends. Jimin watched them through the glass, his curiosity piqued. Ms. Aurelia, with her designer clothes and sophisticated demeanor, seemed out of place in such a modest setting. What could she possibly be doing here in an ordinary store, and with Taehyung.

He couldn't shake off his curiosity as he observed their easy camaraderie. Taehyung's smile was infectious, and Ms. Aurelia's laughter was genuine, a stark contrast to the reserved persona she usually displayed at the hotel. They looked like a couple, completely at ease in each other's company.

As he finished refueling, he saw them heading towards the storefront doors, exiting. He quickly averted his gaze, not wanting to be caught staring. But just as they stepped out of the store, he noticed Ms. Aurelia's eyes flicker in his direction. For a brief moment, their gazes met, and Jimin suddenly felt a jolt of panic. However, she quickly looked away, her expression unchanged, as if she hadn't seen him at all.

They walked towards a sleek black car parked nearby. Jimin watched as Taehyung opened the door for Ms. Aurelia, a small gesture that spoke volumes about their relationship. They drove off, leaving Jimin standing by his car, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. the mystery of their connection gnawing at him. He shrugged off, deciding it was none of his business. He got back into his car and started the engine, focusing on getting home and unwinding after a long day.
