4: Bad Date

"You work with Big Hit?"

"Yeah, my best friends are producers for them."

"I have been trying to get a partnership with Big Hit for the past 3 years, and they always say no. Maybe you could convince them?"

"Uh...I don't know..."

Just then our food came and Taehyung was smiling. "Plates are very hot." He said to us. "Is there anything else that you need?"

I couldn't help but notice him look directly at me. "Hmm....i don't think so." I looked back to Jackson.

"We're fine, you can leave."

Taehyung looked back at me and smiled before walking off. I looked back at Jackson, already nowing date #2 was not going to be followed by this night.

"You don't have to be rude...ya know." As we both took a drink I tapped my finger on the table and the bottom of his glass tipped just a little too far up causing the remanence to spill all over him. "Are you okay?" I asked faking concern.

"Yeah...yeah...I'm fine." He took his napkin and tried to wipe off the sticky liquid. "Um...I think I am going to run to the rest room to wash up."

"Okay." I said but he was already up and out of his seat unable to hear me.

I sighed heavily looking at my watch. It was only 7:30...this night was quickly going nowhere. I took another drink of water before I saw a tall figure standing next to my table. When I looked up I saw a knee weakening boxy smile greet me.

"Everything okay?" he asked.

"Oh...yeah. Everything is good."

"Where did you boyfriend go?" he asked pointing his thumb to the empty seat.

"Oh uh...." I laughed. "He's not my boyfriend."

"Bad first date?"

"Is it that obvious?" He scrunched his nose up and nodded slightly. "Uuughhhh, God he seemed so nice."

"Is it that bad?"

I nodded. "The only thing he knows about me is that I, sometimes, work with Big Hit." I dragged my hands through my hair not caring if I messed up the soft curls. "Who goes on a date and doesn't shut up?" I asked Taehyung.

He laughed. "Honestly...if the woman I was dating was as beautiful as you, I'd want to know everything."

I blushed at his flirtiness and smiled. "You will be getting a good tip." I smirked.

He laughed. "That's not necessary...if anything, he should be paying and I doubt he'll tip me anything if he see's me flirting with his date."

He licked his lips and that did something to my core. "Not if he doesn't see it." I said raising my eyebrows.

"I'll go get you a drink...on the house?"

"Honestly, I just want water." I said raising my empty glass.

"I'll go get you some."

Taehyung had made it back with a fresh glass of water before Jackson came back. We talked momentarily since Jackson was taking forever. Finally he came back to the table and I saw Taehyung give him a....dirty look? If that's what you'd call it. But he asked if Jackson needed anything and Jackson quickly shook his head. When he looked back up to me he smiled. "Sorry for taking so long."

"That's alright." I said drinking the last of my water. "Do you feel better?"

"I do. Where were we?"

"You were asking me to hook you up with Big Hit, and I was saying 'no.'"

"Oh...r-right." He stumbled. "That's okay, I'd rather get to know you more." He smiled. He reached over and took my hand in his. I let him, not wanting to embarrass him further. "So what do you say that we take this date to my place and we can, watch a movie or something."

"Netflix and chill?"

He laughed. "I just meant movie...if things progress..."

Before he could finish Taehyung came back up to the table. "Are we having desert today or will you need your check?"

Jackson pulled a credit card from his wallet and gave it to Taehyung. "Just charge it here."

"Perfect sir. Should I also charge the drink you ordered at the bar?"

"No I settled that bill before we were seated." He said waiving at him to leave.

Taehyung smiled and chuckled lowly looking down. "No sir. I meant the drink you ordered on your way back from the bathroom. The one you ordered for the young blonde girl." He said pointing at a very pretty blonde woman sitting at the bar. She waved and smiled, but her smile faltered and her face turned pink when she saw me. Poor girl, she didn't know.

"Uh...I didn't buy her a drink." He said glaring at Taehyung.

"Oh, my apologies sir. But the bartender told me that you instructed him to charge the drink to your bill. He said you were the one to order it."

Jackson didn't look at me. He just stared at Taehyung before I laughed. I pulled out my own credit card. "Charge the drink to my card please, and the meal on his."

"I can do that." He said smiling and walking away.

I turned to Jackson who was now poking the inside of his cheek with his tongue. "I think I'm going to have a drink with my best friend and watch a movie with him tonight." Taehyung was quick and back with our cards and the receipts. "Thank you for the invite though." I said smiling to Jackson.

"You both have a great night and please come back again soon." Taehyung said.

He winked at me and I couldn't help but to giggle. I looked at my receipt and saw that my card was charged $0.01 with a note that said. 'sorry your date tanked, hopefully the next guy will treat you right.'

I tipped him $20.00 and sighed my name at the bottom of the receipt. I decided to take a bold step and left my phone number with a note myself.

XXX-XXX-XXXX – thanks for being my savior on this horrible date, feel free to text me whenever

I smiled and closed the pocket book setting it on the table. I got up from the table and leaned over kissing Jackson on the cheek. "It was great meeting you Jackson."

He nodded and stood with me walking me to the front door. He gave me a kiss on my cheek and I went to call Namjoon when a familiar care pulled up.

"Get in." I heard.

"Yoongi? What are you doing here?"

"Namjoon asked me to check on you when I drove by. So I stayed to see if your date would end...and 15 minutes later I see you walking to the door."

I got in the car. "Thank you."

"So...." He started as he drove away.

"It went great, I went home and am having sex with him right now."

"That bad?"

Just then I heard a ding on my phone and opened the home screen.

Unknown Number: Maybe the next date you go on will be with me?

I couldn't help but smile. "Actually, it was great."
