I was worried that Sungjae would be upset that I wanted our first date to be at a cookout with others.
Instead, he surprised me when he stated that he didn't mind at all.
"Whatever makes you comfortable."
I smile, letting my hands slip into his as he drove us to Jungkook.
Already smelling the meat grilling, my mouth waters.
As I emerge from the side of the house, I'm relieved when I don't see Taehyung or Yeri, instead I see the guys just fooling around.
"Hi..." I quietly greet everyone clutching onto the plate of corn my mother made me bring over.
Sungjae closely follows behind me, carrying a pack of beer for everyone to enjoy.
"Jennie!" Namjoon throws his arms up, excited to see me. When he spots Sungjae behind me he quickly puts his arms down, unable to hide his shock.
"Hi everyone, I'm sure you remember Sungjae from the club. He's my..." I turn to look at him, biting my tongue at not knowing how to introduce him exactly.
A smile stretches on his face, giving me a little wink. "Coworker and date for the day."
"Right," I look over at the guys, scared to see their reactions, but nobody gave away if they were upset with me. They all give him a friendly wave and offer him a seat at the table, making me feel better.
It's just you, Jennie.
Everyone understands there's nothing left between you and Taehyung.
"Have a seat guys. The first batch of meat should be ready soon." Jungkook gives me a cheesy grin as he continues grilling.
Leading Sungjae to the table, I have a seat beside him, calling Jungkook over to get the plate of corn.
Hoseok tilts his head as he looks at Sungjae. "You know...you still look familiar."
Sungjae licks his lips and awkwardly shifts in his chair.
