Jimin sat down across from Jooheon.

Awkward.

Jooheon was a sweet guy, he really was. He made a horrible mistake one night when he was drunk though and that was cheating on Jimin. That was a year ago.

Jimin grabbed two cups of coffee for them.

"So, start" Jimin urged "What was so important that you had to come talk to me right now."

Jooheon cleared his throat and shifted in his seat "Well" he took a deep breath before looking up at Jimin with sad eyes "I- I wanted to talk to you about getting back together..." Jimin looked like he was holding it together but on the inside, he was an absolute mess "I know I messed up bad, like really bad but it was a huge mistake. I miss you so much and I beat myself up over it every day. I just want another shot at us"

"Another shot at us?" Jimin scoffed "you fucked up! You cheated on me with someone you specifically told me and I quote 'not to worry about! What in your mind would make you think-"

"I know!" Jooheon raised his voice before rubbing his face out of frustration "I know I told you not to worry about Minhyuk"

"How would you feel if I told you not to worry about me and Jungkook, hm? Then I went and fucked him?!" Jimin leaned forward and raised his voice back, good thing the place was empty besides the staff who were watching from the kitchen.

"I was drunk!"

Jimin sat back and huffed as he crossed his arms "Drunk actions and thoughts are what you want to do sober."

Jooheon's face softened "Jimin, please look at me..." Jimin glanced at him before looking back at the floor "I stopped drinking. I know I wasn't an alcoholic or anything but after that, I couldn't stand to even touch alcohol. I felt lost after you broke up with me. Please- just one more chance?"

Jimin but his bottom lip, he remembered Taehyung asking him out on a date earlier and for the reason he spoke about it "I got asked out on a date."

"What?" Jooheon questioned the random statement "By who?"

"His names Taehyung. He seems sweet, seems like he won't cheat on me" Jimin mumbled.

Jooheon furrowed his brows "Taehyung, like Kim Taehyung? Millionaire Taehyung?"

"Y-Yeah why?" Jimin asked as he shifted in his seat awkwardly.

Jooheon got a look of worry "Talk about a cheater. Jimin, he's a huge player. The man has never been in a proper relationship as far as I know. He fucks anything that walks!"

"How do you know that?" The question was genuine, sure Jimin met Taehyung through a one-night stand but that shouldn't automatically make him a bad guy should it?

"I have a few friends that know him. I hear nothing but fuck once and done stories from them" Jooheon was being serious. Jimin felt terrible. A guy finally showed interest in him after his breakup with Jooheon and turns out he is a huge player. Why would he even bother giving Jimin his number?

Yet, here Jimin was being stubborn as ever "Won't hurt to go on a date with him" Jimin was just being spiteful at this point.

"Are you serious?"

"Why should you care? I never said I was going to give you another chance" Jimin shot back. Jooheon got a look of hurt on his face.

"Because I still love you! What part of that are you still not getting?" The two stayed silent for a moment "Forget it. Go on your date with him. I just want you to know I'm still here for you whether I'm your boyfriend or not" Jooheon got up "I have to go."

He left before Jimin could even say anything else. Jimin felt tears roll down his cheek.

Seulgi came and gave him a glass of water and a few napkins as she rubbed his back.

"Shh, baby" she sat next to him and pulled him into her, giving him a soft hug "It's okay. Let it out."

"Why is he still so nice to me?" Jimin choked.

Seulgi sighed "Because he still cares for you. But, just because he cares for you I hope you know you don't have to be with him" she stroked Jimin's hair "Jooheon is a sweet guy and things ended badly. But things ended for a reason. Now, this Prince Charming with the red hair that came in earlier- he may be the reason. Call it fate or just another fling but I have a good feeling about him"

"But Joo said he's a huge player" Jimin looked up at Seulgi with wet eyes.

"You never truly know someone until you sit down and talk with them. I think you should go on that date, Minie" Seulgi smiled gently and wiped Jimin's tears away with a napkin.

"You think so?"

Seulgi chuckled "yeah, I do. Get back out there! Instead of just going for your one-night stands go on an actual date! You haven't been on one since you and Jooheon broke up. This is a new beginning for you and you're still young. One date doesn't mean you have to marry the guy. You either like him or you don't, it's as easy as that" she rambled on. Jimin had never looked at it that way. One date wouldn't hurt.

"You're right... I should get back out there" Jimin agreed.

"You can't keep yourself guarded forever either" Seulgi got up "Now, text that guy and get a date set up! I'm gonna get back to work and tomorrow when you come in you better have texted him!" She made her way to the counter and grabbed some menus to take over to some customers that had walked in.

Just put yourself out there. If you can do a one-night stand you can do a date, Minie!

"What do I write?"

"Just say, hey is this Taehyung?"

"Maybe I should lead off with my name..."

"Isn't he expecting a text from you anyway?"

"Yes..."

Jungkook groaned and continued to snack on the bag of chips as he lay sprawled across Jimin's couch "Why are you overthinking this?"

Jimin blushed "Don't know, maybe because I haven't been on a proper date in ages!" He threw a soft blue pillow right at Jungkook's head. Jimin sat pouting.

"Give me your phone"

Jimin eyed the younger suspiciously "What are you gonna do-"

"Just give me the fucking phone" Jungkook snapped as he snatched the phone out of Jimin's hands. He typed away on the device as Jimin sat there nervously "Now we wait for a response, that simple."

Only it wasn't that simple.

On the other side Taehyung, was currently sitting at home watching a romantic comedy. His phone was in his bedroom, he didn't have any need for it at the moment. He was very spacey, he completely forgot he gave his number to Jimin.

Over two hours had passed and Taehyung needed to make a call. He picked up his phone and nearly choked on air when he saw Jimin had texted him. How was he supposed to respond to this? He didn't even think he would text him?! He had a million thoughts running through his head as he read the text over and over.

Jimin. Actually. Texted. Him.

He felt like a little kid again.

Taehyung regained his composure and finally thought of what to say. He read the text over one more time before hitting send. He let a smug smile creep onto his face.

Taehyung had a tendency to let his imagination go wild when it comes to things like this. The most out-of-this-world thought that brought him back to reality was Jimin being the one. He shook his head and slapped his face.

No way in hell Jimin could be the one. Taehyung loves to love but has zero luck with it so the chances of Jimin being the one are one in a million.

Just one date. One date to see where this leads.
