The boy stutters and shakes before bowing his head down. " I-It's a pleasure to m-meet you." Jimin sees Jungkook bow next and he felt like bursting out into tears in the spot.

Jimin and Jungkook stared at each other with pure disbelief. With dilated eyes and parted lips they took a moment to attempt to register in their minds what's happening. Nothing was said between them despite the yearn to yell and point fingers at each other, saying. " You!?" How is it possible that standing right in front of them is the "enemy" that will be their soon to be husband?

The boys both sit down quietly, Jimin with his eyes glued to his lap and Jungkook with eyes glued towards Jimin. " We should order something now, Shall we?" Mrs.Park eyesmiles at the Jeon family and sits down on her own seat picking up the menu to take a look at what the restaurant best serves. Mrs.Jeon also smiled trying hard to hide the embarrassment of being poor and the happiness to come when her son marries the Park's son. One person who seemed to have a hard time to smile at Mrs. and Mr.Park's faces is Mr.Jeon who's is truly grateful for the kindness but knew his wife is only playing and using this poor family's charity.

" Yes yes, we should." Mr.Park joins adjusting himself in his seat. " Jimin what would you like?" The man turns to his son tilting his head in concern.

" Just what I usually get...dad. Thank you." Jimin replies quietly earning a nod from the father who immediately raised his hands to call a waiter. " Order anything you'd like." He directed to the Jeons who sat in silence and only smiled. After a waiter came and was told what to prepare In the kitchen the ladies on the table began a conversation, First it commenced with Mrs.Jeon complimenting Mrs.Park's kind heart and the conversation developed with her good job on helping out kids in Africa, who needed physical and financial issues. Then ultimately the fathers join in on the conversation leaving Jimin and Jungkook completely alone and paid no attention to them. After all, they needed to learn about each other and get a long which is a way to subside and remove the guilty feeling of the parents.

Jungkook felt the need to say something and speak, Suddenly in this circumstances with Jimin being the one he should marry the feelings towards him suddenly became...very different with a turn. Before, He picked on Jimin for being so different and unknown, then he inflated angrily at the thought of Jimin mocking him for now having no money. But now....Now they are both soon to be wedded with one another, Jungkook couldn't describe this new feeling that he is softening for. Could it be Pity? or could it be one of those ' I relate to you.' moment?

Soon the table was now filled and packed with the food the parents have ordered. Jimin couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and commence eating so that he does not have to speak too much to neither Jungkook nor his parents. Plus he needed food because that's the only support he'll get right now before he reaches home and cry on his bed again. He considers himself one of the most unluckiest people in the world. The male began to think about life as Jungkook's husband in which they would have a house of course and furniture, he imagines himself as the one sweeping and cleaning the house, forced to cook Jungkook shrimps with plantains to him everyday. Jungkook might even yell and bully every single day by mentally forcing him to feel lower as a human; Jimin is scared of having to deal with this for the rest of his life and for what? To help them? Does Jungkook even deserve kindness and charity after all of the bad deeds he has done? With a personality like his? " Um- Excuse me I need to go real quick to the bathroom..." Jimin who hasn't even touched his plate and has been focusing too much on his daydreams; stands up from the table after excusing himself and vacates towards the men's room. Jungkook was left on the table to breathe and relax now that Jimin's presence is gone and away, he isn't a specialist when it comes to dealing with awkward moments; in fact it's a infrequent to be in such a situation but all of the fuel of negativity directed at Jimin has subsided and carried away with the wind and now there is nothing left but silence. He wouldn't start suddenly being nice would he? First of all that would seem desperate for money and secondly both would feel odd. Mrs.Jeon elbows her son before leaning against his ear. " Jungkook dearest, Why don't you take Jimin elsewhere and try to get along huh? It won't be too hard since you're very handsome and charming. Make me proud." The mother leans back to her seat to continue chatting. " Yes mom..." Jungkook speaks by himself gulping because he knows farewell that it's a mission impossible considering past actions with Jimin but also Jimin did help him out so perhaps it won't be too bad.
