The Astronaut || Kim Seokjin ✓

Chapter 17

Jungkook looked at Jin who was clicking pictures with the girls and rolled his eyes. "What are you looking at?" He flinched and turned around to see Y/n standing beside him, looking in the direction where Jin was and then back at Jungkook.

"He has been working here for four months now and I've been noticing the way he looks at other girls," JungKook said, taking the heavy carton from her hands. She smiled and walked to the shelf of creams while Jungkook followed her silently.

"Are you calling him a pervert, Jungkook?" Y/n asked, smirking at him but Jungkook kept the carton in the ground beside the shelf and shook his head at her. "No, not that. It's different."

She bent down, took the tape off the box, and opened it to take the cream tubes out. She stood up and arranged them on the shelf. "What is it, Kook?" Noticing her actions, Jungkook bent down and passed the cream tubes to her so that she didn't have to keep bending and standing up.

"The way he looks at others and the way he looks at you. It's different." Jungkook said and Y/n raised an eyebrow at his statement, arranging the tubes with his help. "What are you implying, Jungkook?"

"I think he likes you."

Y/n halted her action, her hand holding the tube from Jungkook's hand. She pressed her lips together before continuing to do her job, without sparing a glance at Jungkook.

JungKook sighed.

"I'm a guy. I can judge the signs of a boy in love." Jungkook said, finishing up and picking up the box from the ground. Y/n forced a smile at him, taking the box from his grip and looking into his eyes intensely. "Stop saying nonsense, stupid bunny!"

Jungkook scoffed, watching her walk away from there so he ran to the counter to catch up with her not before taking a glance at Jin once.

The lady clad in a red dress walked towards Jin and stood beside him. He was checking the dates of the manufacture of cosmetic products and throwing away the expired ones. She cleared her throat behind him, catching his attention who turned to face her.

The lady smiled softly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and looking into his eyes. "Can I buy a lipstick?" She asked and Jin frowned, pointing his finger at the shelf beside him. "There it is. You're welcome." He said and resumed his work.

The girl bit her lips in disappointment but then passed by him to reach the next shelf, her eyes fixed on the man. She picked a random lipstick and walked to him. "Can I get a similar shade to this one?" She asked.

Jin turned to her and looked at the lipstick in her hand blatantly. He pursued his lips and walked past her to stand in front of the shelf. He extended his hand to the lady. The woman smiled and passed her hand over his. He gave her a sour look and instantly smacked her hand away, earning a soft whimper from her.

"The lipstick, please," he stated and her eyes widened as she passed him the lipstick in embarrassment. He turned to the side, his blue eyes glowing as they scanned the shade of the lipstick.

He closed his eyes, the information of the lipstick shade flashing right in front of his closed eyes and he opened them, looking at the shelf. His blue eyes scanned the shelf, searching for a particular tone and he smiled when he found the similar three shades.

He reached out for them and grabbed the three of them, turning around to the woman who shyly took them from him muttering a small thank you. Jin nodded casually and tried to get back to his work but her voice stopped him.

"Are you free tomorrow?" She asked and he quirked an eyebrow at her questioningly. She chuckled nervously and scratched the back of her neck. "Since you're working here in the evening. Can we grab lunch tomorrow before your shift?" She asked.

Jin frowned in confusion at her sudden approach, contemplating whether to accept it or not. He tried to roam his eyes in the store for Y/n, asking her to help him make a decision but she was nowhere to be found.

"Umm. . . It's just a casual date. I want us to get to know each other." She said, catching his attention back to her. He twitched his lips sideways, thinking of how he could face this earthly crisis without Y/n.

"It's not so difficult to decide. Why are you thinking so much?"

Jin took a deep breath and shrugged casually. "Okay." He agreed and her eyes were filled with sparkles of enthusiasm. She cheered softly before taking out a card and passing it to him.

"This is my restaurant. Please do come. I am Amara. I will be waiting for you tomorrow at noon, Jin," she said, eyeing his name tag. Jin nodded and kept the card inside his pocket. He pointed his finger at the lipstick. "Are you buying those?" He asked and she nodded in embarrassment.

"I'll wring them up for you." He said, taking the lipstick from her hand. She squealed slightly like a fangirl while he walked towards the counter, eyes still searching for Y/n. He shook his head, unable to find her and whispered to himself,

"Where is my butterfly though?"
