Jimin stands up abruptly. “I’ve had enough.”
Taehyung says calmly, “Calm down, Jimin. It’s just the beginning.”
Just then, Yoongi enters the restaurant.
“Sorry I’m late!” he announces.
Taehyung rolls his eyes. “You’re always late, nothing new.”
Yoongi asks, “So what do I miss?”
“At least greet us first,” Jungkook says.
“What, am I going to get from greeting you?” Yoongi smirks.
“What do I expect from that sleeping cat?” Jungkook mutters under his breath.
Yoongi turns to Jimin’s side and says, “Wow, who’s this handsome man?”
“That’s Jimin, Jungkook’s friend,” Taehyung replies.
“It’s nice meeting Jimin,” Yoongi says, his introduction smooth as silk. “I’m Yoongi. We haven’t met, but I’ve heard so many great things about you.”
Jimin’s eyes narrow, his tone laced with anger. “Great things like what?”
Yoongi’s mental monologue kicks in: “He’s not only a husband stealer but also mannerless.”
Yoongi’s expression remains charming, unaffected by Jimin’s hostility. “Oh, just that you’re an amazing friend to Jungkook.”
Jimin’s scowl deepens. “That’s all?”
Yoongi’s smile never wavers. “For now. I’m sure I’ll discover more… fascinating qualities as we get to know each other better.”
Taehyung watches with satisfaction as Yoongi expertly diverts Jimin’s attention.
Jungkook leans into Taehyung, his voice barely audible. “Thanks, Tae. You’re genius.”
Taehyung’s eyes sparkle. “Anytime, Kookie. Now, let’s enjoy our breakfast while Yoongi works his magic.”
Yoongi asks, “So Jimin, what do you do for living?”
Jimin, with an angry face, replies, “What do you want from me?”
Taehyung asks, “Where are your manners, Jimin?”
Jungkook puts his hand on Taehyung to calm him down.
“Just making a conversation,” Yoongi replies.
Jimin’s gaze drifts to Jungkook; his eyes soften.
But Jungkook is lost in Taehyung’s gaze.
“Why you never notice me, Jungkook? Am I not good for you?” Jimin whispers to himself.
Taehyung’s eyes lock onto Yoongi’s; he comes closer and whispers, “Make sure he doesn’t get closer to Jungkook.”

Yoongi softly intervenes, attempting to divert Jimin’s attention. “So Jimin, are you single?”
Jimin replies, “No. Now leave me alone.”
Yoongi’s eyebrows rise, intrigued by Jimin’s abrupt response.
“Ah, taken, huh?” Yoongi asks, his tone playful.
Jimin’s expression turns icy.
“Yes, taken. Now leave me alone.”
Taehyung’s gaze meets Yoongi’s, a silent “thank you” exchanged.
Jungkook remains oblivious, lost in Taehyung’s eyes.
Jimin’s thoughts swirl: “If only Jungkook sees me that way…”
