Let me Love you | TK

Chapter: 48

This Chapter was 70% pre written. All thanks to @wieomie for giving me enough motivation to complete the rest 30%

After what happened to Bounded, I was in no mood to write but I thought why not help you all cheer up a lil along with myself?

Author's POV:

The café was buzzing with muffled laughters and clinking cups weaving through the air, its warm amber lighting softening the lines of tension etched on Jimin's face who was sitting upright, back a little too straight and fingers loosely wrapped around his untouched latte. Across from him, Yoongi leaned back in his chair, his eyes flicking between the Blonde sitting in front of him and his own coffee as if deciding what to focus on.

"Alright," Yoongi started, breaking the awkward silence,  "I didn't know the design was yours. If I had—"

"What difference would it make?" Jimin interrupted, an unimpressed scowl on his face.

Yoongi's eyebrows lifted briefly,"You still think I hate your work, don't you?"

Younger scoffed. "You didn't even bother hiding your disgust, Min. Rejecting my design like it personally offended you? You could've just said something more professional instead of throwing that comment." Jimin's gaze lingered on Yoongi for a moment, then drifted to the glass window...his voice was breaking a lil now, he hated that his sensitive side was coming out right now, "Well, congratulations. You'd officially made me question every creative decision of mine."

"Jimin..." Ravenette's shoulders sagged, "its not what you are thinking.."

"Then what is it?" Jimin pressed, "Now tell me everyone is lying and only you are the truthful one. Deny that you did not casually say that my outfit in the making of which I poured so much hardwork and dedication looked like some disco ball thew up on it."

Yoongi blinked up at him, "Did they tell you this?" He leaned back in his seat with a sigh, "God, why do people twist things for the sake of gossip!? I did not say that about the outfit. Trust me."

Blonde's eyes narrowed, "I don't believe you. If you really did not hate my design as you are claiming...why did you reject it, then?"

"It's because..." Elder trailed off as he rubbed the side of his neck, reluctant to finish, "I didn't think I could pull it off. It looked amazing, but I'm not exactly habitual of being in the spotlight with something that flashy and bold. The design was beautiful. I was just not the right person for it  As the previous designer assigned to me was aware of what I was comfortable with and what not, I simply requested my manager not to change him with someone unaware of my preferances. And about that comment....I had joked to Hobi hyung that I would look like someone disco ball threw up on. It had nothing to do with your skill. That part was obvious."

The anger in Jimin's eyes faltered a bit, "You mean..."

"Yeah.." Raven-haired nodded, smiling softly, "It was a personal thing, Jimin, not design thing. I'm not great at explaining this stuff, but your work? It's incredible and I respect it with the bottom of my heart. I just..I didn't want to embarrass myself with something I am not used to wearing. Yeah..just that. I promise."

Jimin blinked multiple times, processing the words. He pressed his lips in a thin line before opening his mouth, "Why did you not clarify this to me before? Even after knowing how much you offended me!?"

"I know I should have..but I was kind of ashamed to address it." Yoongi admitted, "besides.. you did not give me the chance to. You were either avoiding me or just picking fights. There was no in between. Still, I apologize for hurting your feelings. It was not intentional."
