If Only I Was A Little Braver | Park Jimin

제 69 장 : special

The human crowd embraced Jeon Jungkook as he didn't even bother to flinch at the loud music that brought the whole atmosphere of the club up high.

His eyes never searched for anything, or anyone.

Jungkook only focused on walking to the seat at the bar the moment he made eye contact with the man serving an ocean looking drink to his customer.

As the boy took his seat, Lee smirked.

"Why am I not even surprised that you're here on new year's eve, Jeon?" the bartender leaned against the bar table that separated Jungkook from him.

"Alone, you mean." Jungkook rolled his eyes, then raised his eyebrows to signal for his favourite drink.

Lee started doing his job, but never broke the conversation they were having.

"That's when you're wrong." Lee pointed out, then poured a yellow looking liquid into another glass of alchohol.

Jungkook's eyes followed the water, but his mind wasn't that smooth and flowy.

"Tell me about it." Jungkook shrugged, then took the glass of cocktail from the bartender.

"I've worked here for eight years. Yet the first time I saw you walk in was when you were the age of my 15 year old nephew." Lee smirked as he saw Jungkook put his glass down.

The 21 year old laughed bitterly as he shook his head like a 90 year old.

"Not to mention, walking in with a few other guys, not as young as you, but not far from you as well. It was like you guys owned this place. That day was traumatic for me, but definitely not for you guys. Every year, Jeon. You guys crash this place every year, until some point, it's not only the club that's yours, it's so much more." Lee spoke with emphasis.

"And trust me, young man. I may not know you, or anyone of you, personally." Lee watched as Jungkook paid full attention to his words while drinking his cocktail.

"But I can see it in your eyes. All of you, the way it changes. I believe you can feel it in yourself too. That's when it gets dangerous, Jeon." Lee smiled a little.

Jungkook scoffed, not at Lee, but at the fact that he was so damn true.

"But I guess this year it's just me." he laughs.

"It won't only be you, Jeon. It won't." Lee spoke confidently, then went back to work.

Jungkook could only shake the thought of the past as he continues to linger in his mind.

He wasn't the biggest fan of it.

But it sure is the biggest fan of Jungkook.

Six Years Ago.

"Kid, your first time?" Kim Namjoon hangs his arm around Jeon Jungkook as the boy held onto his bottle of beer tightly.

Jungkook's breath hitched, he's been with them for almost a year but everything's still so new.

Just like today.

"Tell me about it man, it's barely my third time. Kook's gonna be drunk tonight." Kim Taehyung joins in, then takes a big gulp of his own bottle of beer.

"Weaklings." Park Jimin smirks, then drinks from his bottle as if it was water.

Jungkook's lips fell apart.

He then cleared his throat, and took another sip of the bitter soda.

It burned from his throat to his chest.
