A clear laugh filled the hall so Jimin straightened feeling even more odd.
"Hi Jimin, wow you really look like on the drawings."
"I guess," Jimin had no idea how to act.
"Did you have dinner?" Asked the man and Jimin shook his head. "Great so follow me."
He did claiming long corridors towards a huge dining room where the man offered him a chair, so they sat down waiting for the staff to bring fine dishes.
The silence vibrating around them and Jimin was playing with the edge of the table clothing from nervousness. He was observing the stranger studying his features, warm green eyes, a mole on his nose a wide smile.
"I hope you will like it here," said the man filling his plate when Jimin found himself unable to eat, maybe he should voice it out now before the stranger will come to the wrong impression.
"Mr. Jeon um... are you disappointed after meeting me?" He asked.
"Why? Are you disappointed?" The guy raised his brow.
"I don't want to be rude, you seem a really nice person but... I guess I really couldn't imagine to see you in such a way," stuttered Jimin afraid of the man's reaction but to his surprise the stranger chuckled.
"It's ok, I couldn't imagine seeing you in that way either," he winked when a sigh of relief left Jimin's lips. "But I'm not Mr. Jeon."
"What!"
"My name is Taehyung and I'm Mr. Jeon's best friend."
Now Jimin was sitting with his jaw dropped.
"The coward he is when it comes to feelings he had no courage to meet you so he had begged me to become your host today."
Taehyung sent him a reassuring smile.
"Oh," the butterflies waking up in Jimin's stomach were dangerous.
Was he really relieved that Taehyung isn't Mr. Jeon? Was he hoping for some fiery romance or something, really Jimin, he told himself off.
"He is shy and a bit nerdy, so forgive him his behavior. He wanted to meet you though, but under one condition and I was sent with a mission to ask you if you're ok with that."
"What condition?" Jimin's body began to tremble by an inner cold.
"He can meet you if you won't see him."
"What do you mean?"
"If you agree to be blindfolded during the whole meeting he can meet you."
Taehyung's words were hanging in the air like daggers above his head.
"Blindfolded?" Asked Jimin buffed. "What! No! If he thinks I'm some type of prostitute I'm not! I'm a virgin! I've never even had a kiss!" He jumped from his seat trembling.
"Calm down Jimin, of course he doesn't see you as a prostitute. He's just, complicated sometimes. He knew you might react badly to the request so it was just an offer. If you can't agree on it we can have dinner and Mr. Suga will drive you home," there was nothing just warm genuine worry in Taehyung's eyes.
Jimin was standing squeezing his fists tightly. Shouldn't he request to go back home now, but then the faces of his parents twisted his insides with sharp fear. He found himself more frightened to see them than to be blindfolded in front of a total stranger.
"Ok, I can meet him and agree to his condition," said Jimin sitting back.
Taehyung seemed stunned by that answer.
"But please tell me something about him. How is he? Is he a good person?"
Taehyung opened his mouth then closed it again.
"He is Jimin. I'm assuming you he is lovely and kind, all his friends and workers adore him. He's that type of person who rescues a lonely dog from a shelter, who goes out in a winter night to provide warm jackets and meals for homeless people, the one who stays over hours with his team at work to solve problems, who never brags about his position or money. He's special, you will find out soon."
Jimin's heart was beating loudly as each of Taehyung's words was falling right into his heart and he was even more thrilled to meet Mr. Jeon.
"But if you stay tonight please don't search him out in the internet to find out how he looks like, allow him to work on revealing himself to you on his own pace."
"Ok, I promise," whispered Jimin his heart beating so loudly Taehyung must have heard it.
"Ok, so if this is cleared do you prefer to eat dinner or go to see him now?"
"I prefer to go now, I don't feel like eating."
Taehyung nodded with understanding, he gave the butler a sign and a moment later another one came inside carrying a jewels' incrusted box placing it on the table in front of Jimin.
There were different blindfolds inside, some out of fine fabric, some cute an fluffy.
"Please choose one," said the butler and Jimin hesitated before taking one out.
It was made out of navy blue velvet and had small diamonds stitched to it, imitating the star constellations.
"This is ok," Jimin handed it to the butler.
"Please put it on," said Taehyung.
"If Mr. Jeon is so ugly he shouldn't be so worried about it, if his heart is pretty," said Jimin smiling to Taehyung who sighed.
"He's not ugly Jimin, he's damn handsome just damn stubborn," Taehyung shook his head.
"Ok, ok," Jimin giggled, he knew Taehyung has only said it to give him courage as someone damn handsome wouldn't hide his face, would he? "One more questions, how old is he?" He decided to ask as maybe becoming intimate with someone too old wouldn't be so nice.
"He's 23," said Taehyung so Jimin nodded putting the blindfold on, feeling the butler checking if he indeed couldn't see anything.
"Good luck Jimin," he heard Taehyung's voice but the butler took him under the arm leading him somewhere and right now Jimin freaked out for real, as what if all of that has been just a play to calm him down and that mysterious man will hurt him, but he guessed it was too late for regrets now so he decided to be brave, following the butler's commands.
It seemed they were in an elevator moving up. It came to halt, the door opened, the man led him forward, definitely down another marble corridor further and further into some room with a carpet as their shoes stopped making sounds.
"Please sit down and wait here, Mr. Jeon will come to see you shortly," said the butler helping him to sit down on something soft then left.
The moments the door crackled shut behind him Jimin pulled the blindfold up to see he has been all alone in a spacious bedroom sitting on a king sized bed, his heartbeat becoming so rushed, his heart almost left his chest, so he has indeed agreed to have sex with some total stranger. Whatever, maybe it's the only opportunity in my lifetime to lose my virginity, he thought but the door sounded so he pulled the blindfold down quickly.
There was another crackle and another one, almost noiseless steps on the carpet, someone's rapid breathing nearing crumbling the skin on his body. The stranger stopped so close to where he was sitting.
Thank you so much for your love. Did you enjoy the chapter? What do you think about Jimin meeting Taehyung and Mr. Jeon's request? How will Jikook's first meeting look like?
Much <3
