Meeting Im Jaebum (Jaebum x Reader) [DISCONTINUED]

eighteen - a date?

   You both had entered from the back of the restaurant in order to not be noticed by fans. When Jaebum's driver didn't follow you became really nervous at the thought of eating alone with just him but you completely didn't care once the smell of chicken hit you.
  
    The kind but creepy waitress directed you to a small private eating room and took your orders. You noticed how her eyes never left Jaebum as she wrote the orders down.

   "What would you like?" she finally asked you.

   "Make it the Box 2," saying that made Jaebum's head shoot up and he looked at you like you were insane, the waitress also had the same reaction. That certain order contained a lot of food.

    "Are you sure? Aren't you a model or something?" she said rudely.

   "Aren't you supposed to write this down?" you said back with just as much attitude, earning a chuckle from Jaebum which he tried to cover up with a cough.

   The waitress awkwardly wrote it down and walked back out.

   "Do you come here a lot?" you asked trying to break the silence.

    He appeared surprised at the question but then nodded.

    "Only place in Seoul that makes the chicken a bit similar to how my mom does," he said with a smile. Probably the first real smile you'd seen from him ever since you met him. "Since we finally got a break I can go see her."

    You smiled back and nodded. "That's good." It was weird, you two were finally having a normal conversation.

   "Uhm. . . what's your mom like?"

   You smiled at the question, "She's great. She's always been very protective of me and never wanted me to leave her side. . . and now we're so far apart," you paused and he nodded understandingly which was quite comforting.

    "It's great to follow our dreams, but in order to do so we have to leave behind such important people," he said quietly.

    "When I was younger I'd always complain and couldn't wait to live on my own... and now it's not as great as I had imagined it to be," you confessed.

    "I agree."
 
   The waitress returned with the food and you clapped excitedly. It smelled delicious! She of course continued to stare at Jaebum the whole time and you could see the heart eyes she kept making. Meanwhile Jaebum remained unbothered since he was probably used to it.

   "Enjoy!" she said cheerfully and remained standing there.

    The amount of different flavored fried chicken in front of you made you so happy. Most of the time you ate pretty healthy but sometimes you'd give yourself cheat days from time to time. . . well a lot of times.

    "Can we help you?" Jaebum said and you noticed he was talking to the waitress who was still standing there.

    "Oh no sorry, is there anything else you'd like?" she smiled.

   "Can I get a beer please?" The most famous combination in Korea seemed to be chicken and beer so why not.

    Jaebum chuckled again and asked for one too.

    You dived in right away. As soon as the chicken went into your mouth you completely had no self control. All the bullshit 'ladylike' manners were out the window and you just stuffed your face happily. The beer and chicken combination was god made and incredible. You weren't really a big fan of beer but anything and everything went with chicken.

    Jaebum had appeared taken back and just watched you. "Wow so you're not a woman after all, you're a beast," he mocked jokingly.

    "Shut up and eat."

    That made him laugh and he continued eating. 

    "By the way, what was that at the photoshoot?" you asked thinking of the sudden kiss.

    "It's called acting like a couple. At least I did something, you just stood there almost blowing our cover," he laughed.

   "I'm not as great of an actor as you," you said.

   "You sure aren't," he mocked again.

   You ignored him while rolling your eyes and continued eating.

   "Your driver is right, you are a dick," you said laughing. The beer had made you more confident to speak your mind.

    "Damn look at you, you have two beers and now you're talking down at me," he said pretending to be hurt.

    The rest of the dinner continued like that, a couple jokes here and there and laughing.

   "I can't believe you ate all of that food, I'm quite impressed," he said as you headed outside.

   "There is many impressing things about me,"

    "Oh really? Seems hard to believe," he said jokingly.

    "Oh my god! Is that Jaebum and his girlfriend!"

    "Well shit," he cursed suddenly.

   You did the first thing you could think of and grabbed his hand and ran.

   It being dark and all you both assumed that it would have been alright to walk out the front way and not be noticed but you had both been wrong.

   You could hear the screams becoming quieter as you continued to run, the cold breeze hitting your face which felt amazing. You made a quick turn and stopped to breathe. You were never much of a runner so running just a few feet made you feel exhausted.

    You could hear the heavy breathing of Jaebum's and yours and then he began laughing.

    "Is this your way of trying to lose all the calories you just devoured?"

    "Oh shut up, even in situations like this you make jokes?"

   "Of course, it's who I am," he smirked.

    You leaned back against the wall trying to catch your breath, the coldness of the night not making it any better as your throat burned from the icy air. Jaebum remained quiet as he looked around.

    You closed your eyes and allowed the breeze to just hit your face gently when unexpectedly you opened them to come face to face with Jaebum. He was standing very close all of a sudden.

   "What the hell are you doi-"

You weren't able to finish as a sudden pair of warm lips touched  yours.
