Tomorrow | JK (Book 2) [Completed]

Chapter 21

Day 4 Part 4 - "I just eat a lot, okay?"

Your POV

After the fansigning, the boys and I headed back to the main building to film some new contents for ARMYs before going out with the staff to have dinner. It got late, later than I expected.

I felt guilty when my mouth watered at the delicious sight of marinated and grilled meat laid out before us since I told Jungkook to cook for tonight. As much as I wanted to gobble up the myriad of delectable dishes, lured by their tempting smell, I couldn't bring myself to stab a piece of meat with the fork I was gripping.

"Come on, everyone! Raise your cups!" One of the managers exclaimed, bringing his own cup of soju up in the air with a wide grin. I took the full cup before me and held it up just like everyone else. When I looked to my right, I saw Jimin already downing a full glass and my eyes widened. Damn, he's really not here to play.

The manager continued, "Today's events went smoothly thanks to everyone's amazing efforts. Let us celebrate!"

Everyone cheered, clinking their cups and glasses, and drank them in one shot.

I, on the other hand, couldn't drink more than one gulp since I had to be sober when I arrive home. He was waiting for me.

I couldn't help but check the time every second and glance around the table, hoping that no one notices me holding myself back from eating. It crashed down when his name got called in between the small talks.

"Hey, Jungkook!"

I flinched and turned to look at one of the camera directors who called with an awkward smile.

"Yes?"

"Why aren't you eating? We ordered two times more than what we usually order since you kept complaining that you were hungry." He chuckled along with a few other staffs who sat around him. Namjoon who was sitting in front of me fixed his gaze on me. A worried one.

"Are you not feeling well, JK?" He asked while chewing on chicken.

I cleared my throat, shifting in my seat and giving him a forced smile. "No, I'm fine. Just... not that hungry right now..."

My stomach betrayed me, growling loudly, and I clutched it, looking around the room to think of something that could divert everyone's attention from me. My eyes fell on Jimin still drinking and I groaned louder than my stomach on purpose.

"Jimin-ssi! You're going to get alcohol poisoning at this point!"

He looked up at me with puppy eyes and whined, "No I'm not! You can't separate my alcohol from me!"

What the heck.

"Yeah, leave him be, Jungkook, a man needs some winding up sometimes,"Jin said while walking around the table and taking a piece from every dish there was onto his plate.

"Sometimes," I emphasized, shooting a glare at Jimin, warning him not to drown himself in black water. He saluted back with a grin and continued gulping whiskey now, making me pinch the bridge of my nose.
