As Jin walks out, wearing the Alpha's jacket, he notices Yoongi approaching him, concern evident in his eyes as he takes in Jin's soaked appearance.

"What happened? How did you end up getting drenched?" Yoongi asks.

Jin shifts slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. "I accidentally broke the faucet, and the water sprayed all over me..."

Yoongi's gaze falls on the jacket Jin's wearing, clearly noting it doesn't belong to him. However, he doesn't press further.

Instead, he says, "Go home, change into dry clothes, have some lunch, and then head back to the office. We'll go straight from here."

Relieved, Jin nods. "Okay. Thank you..."

With that, Jin picks up his bag and leaves the restaurant, his thoughts still lingering on the recent encounter. As he makes his way home, a subtle warmth settles over him, and he finds himself glancing down at the jacket with an unfamiliar, almost shy smile.

Once home, Jin carefully slips off the jacket, noticing how his cheeks grow warm and his lips curl up in an unconscious smile. He looks at the jacket with a strange fondness, realizing how it's filled him with a sense of happiness he can't quite explain.

Placing the jacket gently to the side, he begins unbuttoning his damp shirt, glancing over at the jacket every now and then, feeling a slight blush spreading over his face.

"Why... why am I blushing just because of his jacket?" he murmurs, a bit flustered.

Giving his forehead a light tap with his hand, he mutters to himself, "What's wrong with me? Ever since I met that Alpha, it's like... I don't know, like I know him somehow, like he's familiar."

Letting out a soft laugh, Jin shakes his head, trying to clear his thoughts. "Jin, don't overthink it... Handsome Alphas are usually married. Besides, did you see the way he kept his distance? He's probably a really respectful Alpha."

Despite his own words, Jin can't help but smile softly, lingering for a moment longer, his heart carrying a quiet sense of joy he didn't expect.

That evening, Jin decides to visit the flower shop, determined to return the jacket to the Alpha. He approaches the manager, who recognizes him, and asks for the Alpha's phone number so he can return the jacket.

The manager, aware of who Jin is, hands him the phone number.

Jin leaves the shop and dials the number, his heart pounding loudly in his chest as he waits for the call to connect.

Meanwhile, Jungkook is walking towards the parking area of HOTEL CROWN when his phone rings. Noticing an unknown number, he answers the call.

"Hello... Who's this?"

Jin responds softly, a gentle smile tugging at his lips, "It's me... the one you gave the jacket to."

Jungkook pauses in his tracks, an unfamiliar sensation washing over him as he hears Jin's voice. His heart suddenly beats faster.

The two fall into a brief silence, not sure what to say or how to fill the strange tension between them.

Finally, Jungkook takes a breath, controlling his emotions as best as he can. "I told you, right? You can either keep it or throw it away. It doesn't matter to me... You don't need to return it."

Jin, speaking firmly but with a touch of amusement, responds, "I don't have any desire to keep someone else's things, and I don't like holding onto things that aren't mine. Returning it will bring me peace. After that, it's up to you-whether you keep it or throw it away."
