Close To You [Jimin x Sheryl] [BTS Fanfic]

Chapter 5 - Offence

'Good evening, sir and madam. I am your designated waiter for tonight. I will assist you with everything you need for your wonderful time at YG Delight.'

Sheryl startled suddenly as the waiter's voice came out of nowhere. She looked up towards the waiter and saw a smiling, young, well-dressed man. She heard Jimin's voice,

'Thank you. What is your name?'

The waiter turned his eyes towards Jimin.

'My name is Isaac, dear sir. How may I help you?'

Jimin smiled at him politely,

'Isaac, for now; get us the best wine you have in this beautiful restaurant.'

Isaac's expression froze for a second as he smiled awkwardly. Basically, he was scanning the attire of the new couple and had some doubts in his mind.

'Isaac.' Jimin smiled politely again, 'Don't worry about anything else. If you do that, your tip might be a bit compromised.'

Isaac's expression relaxed a bit, he then said,

'As you wish, sir. I will be with you in a minute.'

He left swiftly. Jimin focused his gaze back on Sheryl. He could see that Sheryl was clearly uncomfortable but still calm. Jimin smiled at her. Sheryl caught that.

'What?' She enquired, 'Why are you smiling?'

'I don't know, it's really great to make your acquaintance. I haven't interacted with any other female human before beside my former Stanchion. I have a lot to learn.'

Sheryl avoided eye contact. Her mind was not working straight; even though she was calm she did know what to think about. She let out another big sigh.

'So, Ms. Sheryl, let's get to know each other more. Tell me something about yourself?' Jimin asked as he put his arms on the table.

Sheryl looked at him and stared at him.

'How do I know what to tell you? You already knew my name when we met for the first time. God knows what you already know about me.' She replied.

'Sheryl Rose, age 23, height 5'4, body dimensions twenty..'

'Okay! Enough! Stop!' Sheryl interrupted Jimin before he could embarrass her more.

'I know what you mean.' Sheryl continued, 'You want to know more about me.'

'Yes, all I know is physical facts about you.' Jimin replied, 'But I want to know the real you.'

Sheryl let out another sigh,

'I was raised by my mom since childhood ever since dad disappeared before I was born. We were not that rich but somehow I excelled in dancing, hence I managed a scholarship to get a major in dance and here is now where I'm working.' She took a pause, 'At the same time, I met you and now my life is in danger and people are going to hunt us down and God knows what they are going to do with us, I'm hoping death will actually be a mercy.'

Jimin remained silent. Sheryl sensed the silence and stole a glance at him. She could see Jimin's blank expression and his eyes were lost.
