Better Now [Book 2]

Chapter 3

A year passed and Jimin is one of the most successful dance choreographers in the industry. There isn't one fan that doesn't know how much he affected JYP's company. Some might even say that he's more famous than some of the actual idols that debut and produce music. All of the rookie idols aspire to be like him.

To Jimin, he doesn't really care about the attention he's receiving. He's just thankful that he has a stable career where he can provide for his family. He initially thought that his life was ruined when he had to leave Jungkook, but it actually turned out to be better. Now, he's independent and works for the sake of himself and his family.

Of course, he's thankful for the recognition he's getting, but he feels like some things are more important to him. For example, Jungmin. Although Jungmin is only three months old, there's no doubt that Jimin loves him with all his heart.

He has doe eyes and plump lips, inherited by his parents. His cheeks are big, round and very soft. One thing Jimin loves to do is rubbing Jungmin's cheeks. Jungmin doesn't have much hair at the moment, but Jimin never expected him to. He's only a baby, after all. How can you expect a baby to have thick locks of hair?

For the majority of the time, Jimin hires a baby-sitter to take care of Jungmin while he's at work. During his occasional day-offs, he spends the entire day just playing with Jungmin. To him, he doesn't care about anything except for Jungmin.

While his career grew, he also got scouted by different companies to choreograph dances for their idols, including large companies like Bighit and SM. Bighit recently debuted a rookie group named TXT that miraculously received a lot of attention. Meanwhile, SM hired him to primarily focus on making new dances for their group, NCT to follow.

One night, a member of NCT named Taeyong and a member of TXT named Yeonjun offered Jimin to go to a bar with them. Despite being tired from dancing all day, he didn't want to turn them down, so he agreed. He gave Jungmin's baby-sitter a call and went along with the two.

Since Taeyong was the best driver out of the three of them, he sat in the driver's seat and drove them to the bar. Yeonjun and Jimin just played a few simple games in the back seat while Taeyong drove. Taeyong enjoyed watching the two of them scream while they played.

They arrived within 20 minutes and they walked onto the red carpet that the bar had. They waited in line for about 30 minutes before finally getting to the security guards who asked them to show their IDs. They each flashed their IDs at the security guards and were let inside the seemingly luxurious bar.

The moment they stepped inside, they noticed that even the music played was different. It was very reserved and no one was screaming or spilling drinks everywhere. Everyone was just sitting at a table and having a drink while chatting. Most of the people inside the bar consisted of rich, influencial people.

Jimin took a look around before asking Taeyong and Yeonjun a question. "Just asking, how did you manage to get inside this bar? Isn't this some kind of private bar that only VIPs can enter?"

Taeyong answered in Yeonjun's place. "Well we might've used sugarcoated words with the CEO of this bar."

"Sugarcoated words? Seriously?" Jimin rolled his eyes, clearly unamused.

"C'mon, give us some credit for actually getting in. They say you can only get in if you do something that makes the CEO even wealthier than he already is. I'm glad we even got in with just sugarcoated words." Yeonjun complained, making Jimin roll his eyes again.

"Don't make me laugh. This bar isn't even the best I've seen. Once you live a wealthy life for a long period of time, you'll see places even more impressive than this." Jimin replied, making Yeonjun giggle.

"You literally only started your career last year, how can you earn that much money in such a short amount of time?"

"Well, I have my ways." Jimin huffed, crossing his arms in frustration. Before they started bickering, Taeyong joined in the conversation, bringing back a bottle of wine and a few empty glasses.

"I don't know what you two are talking about, but stop. Anyway, the CEO of this bar is seriously scary. I thought I was going to get killed or something when I first met him. His aura is seriously terrifying." Taeyong shivered as Jimin poured a bit of wine in his glass.

"You know, I heard that he has an army of people working for him that's even stronger than the Korean military. He's one of the most powerful businessmen around the entire world. It isn't a joke when people say that his aura is so strong that it's frightening. I can't even imagine working for him." Yeonjun discussed while he drank from his glass of wine.

"I also heard that he can handle any weapon you can imagine on a professional level. Guns, swords, spears and even darts. At this point, he probably doesn't even need weapons to prove how strong he really is." Taeyong exaggerated, adding sound effects for a more realistic vibe, making Jimin roll his eyes the third time that night.

"You don't even need to know how to handle weapons or learn martial arts to learn how to fight well. You just need to know the key pressure points on the human body and know how to be agile and hit the pressure points properly. It works every single time." Jimin pointed out, making the other two roll their eyes this time.

"You act as if we know what the pressure points are! I honestly have no clue what pressure points even are or how they work!" Taeyong slurred as he whined while drunk.

"Even though he's already drunk, you gotta admit that he's right. Neither of us know how to handle or hit pressure points like you do." Yeonjun replied. This time it was his turn to be unamused.

The three of them bickered for about an hour until all of them were drunk, Taeyong being the drunkest out of all three of them. He kept on switching between cuddling Jimin and cuddling Yeonjun. Neither of them really cared and just let Taeyong cling onto them. They switched to another topic to talk about. By then, Taeyong was just blurting out random things and making cute sound effects.

Suddenly, Jimin felt a strong pressence enter the room, almost making him stone cold sober. He turned around and watched as a familiar face walked in with 5 of his closest friends that he missed dearly over the past year. The man scanned the entire room as he walked in before his eyes laid on Jimin, causing his stone cold expression to turn into an expression of sadness.

"It's been a while, Jimin."
