『 Bangtan Host Club, 12:04 A.M 』

The club's restaurant was surprisingly huge. It had fancy written all over it due to its glamorous and stylish aura. Thankfully, the tables weren't placed too close to each other. Customers had their privacy and waiters could easily circulate through the room without risking to bump into clients or hosts.

A smiling waitress welcomed us, exchanging quick glances with Jungkook. I could tell they knew each other; they were coworkers after all. She walked us to a single table before handing us the restaurant menu. Then she left us alone.

Sitting across from Jungkook, I could sense his dark gaze burn on my figure as I feigned deep interest for the menu. Once we were ready to order, the waitress came back and wrote it down. Again, we were left alone, staring at each other.

"What?" I tilted my head on the side "You don't look happy."

I noticed Jungkook purse his lips.

"Why did you choose me?"

"Because I wanted to."

Silence. He probably wasn't expecting that answer from me.

"You're lying." He spat, clearly annoyed.

I shook my head no. "I'm not. But you probably know why. I don't want to stop coming because of you."

"Because of me?" Jungkook chuckled. "What is it with me?" Anyone could tell he was getting angry though I didn't want that.

"You tried to make me feel bad for picking Jimin instead of you!" He stared at me for a few seconds, doubtful. "It worked. I felt stupid and bad. But then I thought; hey, why do I bother? Who the fuck does he think he is?"

Jungkook remained silent. I noticed how his jaw clenched as he pursed his lips. It looked like he wanted to talk back, but I left him no room for that. Instead, I kept going.

"At first, I decided to never come back. But I thought of Jimin. Since I enjoyed my time with him, I think it'd be a waste to stop coming just because of you. I needed to see you first though, and speak my—"

"So, you just came to insult me?"

I let out a sigh, shaking my head no. "You acted like a douche back then. It was unfair of you."

Surprisingly, he seemed to understand. "I'm sorry." The stern tone was replaced by a smoother one. Startled by his sudden apology, I stared at him in a daze. "I did act like an ass. You didn't deserve that, I am sorry. I was in a bad mood and I took it out on you."

It took me a few seconds to pull myself together and actually react.

Attempting to give him a reassuring smile, I said : "It's fine. I get it, just don't do it again. You know I actually had a great time with you too? I knew you were an ass, but like the nice kind!" I said jokingly

As I succeeded to ease the tension, the heavy weight that bothered me since my last visit at the host club got off my chest. I felt better, lighter, happier. More than anything, I felt utterly stupid for getting moody over a man I hardly knew.

Jungkook sighed, visibly relaxing. A small smile appeared on his face, making it hard for me to look away.

"Let's eat, shall we? Drama makes me hungry."
