DISGUISE || JIKOOK ✅

Jungkook Pov

I bounced my leg nervously underneath the table, so much that the glasses of water
sloshed over onto the pristine white tablecloth.

"Damn it." I said as quietly
as I could.

I reached for a napkin to clean up the water, looking around the mostly empty restaurant to
make sure no one had
noticed my nervousness.

I'd never been to a restaurant this fancy and I stuck out like a sore thumb.

At least I would have if anyone had been here to witness my misery.

I worked as a receptionist at a doctor's office, the pay was
low and the hours were horrid, yet somehow, I'd managed to land a blind date with a person who had to have all the money
in the world to get a
reservation at this restaurant.

The place only had ten tables and was the absolute definition of exclusivity.

Rumor had it the waiting list
was measured in years, not months.

A friend of a friend had been invited to an engagement
party here once.

But that was the only person
I knew who'd actually set foot
in this place.

They'd raved about the food.

Although, today somehow the place was empty.

I'd caught sight of the chef, as well as the waiter who had led me to my table but that was it.

I had been sat at a table in
the corner, out of view of the windows.

Had the place been full, this would have been a very private table, out of the way of the
main dining area.

When my friend from college
had called to say he knew the perfect alpha for me, I'd rolled my eyes.

But as a favor to him, since he had helped me get my job, I agreed to the blind date.

He promised that the alpha
was nice and perfect and I
would absolutely love him.

I should have asked for more details.

Like what did he do for a living?

Where was he from?

And if he was so perfect, why was he single?

Still, I'd agreed to go and my stomach had been in knots
ever since.

The conversation with my friend had my hopes rising and my stomach twisting.

I wanted an alpha, wanted to settle down and have children.

But my relationships had all fizzled into nothingness after a few months.

They'd never gotten serious enough for me to even move
in with an alpha, let alone
think about having children
with them.

This date was different.

I could feel it.

Tonight, it felt as if there was magic in the air and I was on
the brink of something exciting.

I hadn't even met my date yet.

The air around me shifted and
I couldn't help but lift my gaze
to the doorway.

That was the first glimpse I
got of Park Jimin.

He and I had only talked over text and I couldn't find any pictures of him online when I'd searched his name earlier
that afternoon.

All I knew about him was that
he wasn't from here and
he'd done a study abroad program with my college friend.

He walked into the restaurant trailed by two other men who didn't appear to be with him,
just walking in at the same
time.
