Taehyung blinked as yet another glass of red wine was placed before him. It had been his 3rd glass of the cherry red liquor this evening. He was currently in a bar somewhere in Seoul to properly celebrate his promotion together with Lisa.

The bar on the inside looked pretty nice. It was a small bar with wooden walls and floors, on the right side was a huge bar situated and right next to it where some boots. On the left side was a huge dancefloor which was filled with people dancing like there was no tomorrow. Some of them performed some crazy moves while others actually looked like they knew what they were doing. Even though the place was pretty busy it gave of a cozy and warm feeling, and Taehyung wouldn't mind it if he would come here more often.

The moment Taehyung had told Lisa about his promotion she had insisted on taking him somewhere to properly celebrate the fact that he finally got a big case. But due to the fact that the young lawyer was really busy with work ever since he got his promotion she wasn't able to do so until five days later. Even though Taehyung wasn't really the type to party and become drunk he did like spending time with Lisa, and ever since the young lawyer had gotten the case he had been super busy which resulted in him barely seeing his best friend. Ofcourse Lisa understood, but the brown haired boy couldn't help but feel guilty towards her. Nevertheless he was happy with every moment that he did get to spend with her, which is why he agreed to come here tonight.

The two best friends where seated across each other in a small wooden booth with red soft cushions on the seats. In the middle of the table stood a small candle with a vase with red colored flowers in it next to it. Even though the flowers were clearly fake, it did look nice on the table and gave Taehyung a warm feeling.

"So, mister super busy, tell what you have been up to this week." Lisa said as she smiled at him. It was one of the things Taehyung loved so much about Lisa, her smile. The receptionist had the kind of smile that could brighten a whole room. The blonde girl never seemed to be in a bad mood and always found a way to lighten up any situation. Whenever Taehyung was sad or stressed she always told him' why be sad when you can be happy, don't overthink things Tae. It hasn't done anyone good before you know' all while she had that beautiful smile plastered of her face.

"Well, I worked om my case a lot, it's a though one" Taehyung said and looked down. The case itself was indeed hard, with the evidence against Jungkook being overwhelming. But the fact that the inmate hadn't done anything to help him and instead just decided to mess with him made it even worse. The boy's behavior had been stressing out Taehyung for the past couple of days. How in the world was he supposed to defend someone who just straight up admitted he had done everything he was being accused of? How for gods sake would The young lawyer be able to plead him innocent when the raven haired prisoner even told him he was proud of every single thing he did.

"ahw poor Tae, im sure you will figure it out though, you always do". The blonde girl before him said as she picked up her glass and took a sip of her wine. "I sure hope so". Taehyung answered her, uncertainty lacing his voice. Lisa had no idea who his client was and he was keen on keeping it that way. The moment he would tell her she would be worried to death, which was something the young lawyer wanted to avoid at all costs. He decided to do this case, so Jungkook was his burden.

Taehyung smiled at the blonde girl and picked up his glass of red wine to take a sip out of it. As the cherry red liquor touched his tongue he couldn't help but feel some sort of relieve. Wine always made him lose some stress and today was no exception. He definitely wasn't planning on becoming drunk, he just wanted to relax for a bit before he had to go back to his hectic life.

"So have you already seen someone you like?" Lisa said which shook the young lawyer out of his thoughts. As the question processed in his mind Taehyung grew a questioning look his face. "what do you mean?" he said while he looked at the blonde girl in front of him and she quickly took a small sip out of her glass.

"You know, have you already seen a boy you like, you said you wanted to release some stress tonight right?" the blonde girl said while she got that huge smile on her face again. "What better way to release stress then have fun with a handsome man, right?" the receptionist said while she winked at Taehyung who in return became completely red.

" I'm not going to go home and fuck some boy Lisa" Taehyung said while he put his head in his hands out of embarrassment, which caused the blonde girl in front of him to laugh. While he knew Lisa had had a one night stand once in a while, the thought of it alone never appealed to the young lawyer. What fun would there be out of just fucking someone and never see the person again? Call him old fashioned, but the brown haired boy believed in true love, hoping to one day find the right person with who he will spend the rest of his life with. Someone who he will marry, raise children with and grow old with.

As Lisa went to speak again she got interrupted by a blonde haired boy. The boy seemed to be around Taehyungs age and had a friendly smile supporting his face. "excuse me, I came here alone tonight and you two seemed to be having so much fun, do you two mind if I join you guys?" The unknown boy spoke with a friendly tone. He was wearing pretty plain clothes, just some light jeans and a white t-shirt. The boy got a handsome face and pretty brown eyes which almost completely disappeared once his smile grew larger.

Because Taehyung was so lost in the boy's pretty face he didn't notice Lisa staring at him with a smile on her face, waiting for him to answer. "Sure, I have to go to the bathroom anyway but you can keep TaeTae company" the blonde girl said before she quickly took her glass and left the booth.

The unknown boy smiled and took a seat opposite of Taehyung and made himself comfortable. "So is your name really TaeTae or is it just the name your girlfriend uses for you?" The blonde boy said while he looked Taehyung in his eyes. Taehyung noticed his eyes were dark brown with a green lining to it, they for sure made the boy's face even more handsome than he already was when the young lawyer hadn't looked in his eyes properly.

"Ah no, it's Taehyung and she isn't my girlfriend, were best friends" the brown haired boy quickly said. Even though he loved Lisa with all his heart seeing himself in a relationship with her would be impossible. They both knew he was gay and while the boy in front of him clearly didn't he must have been blind to think the affection between Lisa and himself would mean anything more than friendship.

"That's a pretty name" the blonde boy said "A pretty name for a pretty boy" he said while he winked at the brown haired boy. Taehyung instantly felt his cheeks warm up. He had only known this boy for 5 minutes and he was already flirting with him. It was a bold move from the boy in front of him to just assume Taehyung was gay, he hadn't asked so there would be no way he could know right?

"I'm Jimin by the way" The boy said before he took a sip out of his glass. His glass was filled with some sort of orange liquor and Taehyung had no idea what it could be. The boy noticed Taehyung staring at his glass and smiled. "it's a Malibu Sunset cocktail, you wanna try?" the boy said while he leaned over the table to offer Taehyung his glass.

"No thanks, I'll stick to the wine" the young lawyer said to the boy he now knew the name of. Even though the color of the drink was pretty, Taehyung knew looks could be deceiving and the liquor could be much stronger that it's sweet color suggested. He wasn't going to risk having a gross burning liquor rolling down his throat.

After a bit of small talk between the boys Jimin became distracted by something happening behind Taehyung. "Isn't that your friend" Jimin suddenly said while he pointed to the space behind Taehyung. Taehyung turned around and saw Lisa on the dancefloor kissing a big and muscly guy and only then realized she never went to the bathroom. She just left so he could be alone with this boy in front of him. The young lawyer got a light red color on his cheeks out of embarrassment at the realization and he quickly turned around in his seat again while he was already plotting his revenge on her, and immediately noticed that Jimin had swapped seats and was now sitting beside him.

"I couldn't hear you properly when I was sitting across from you, you don't mind right?" The blonde haired boy said to the young lawyer while a friendly smile supported his face. The brown haired boy slightly shook his head which made the blonde boy who was now sitting next to him smile.

"can you tell me a bit more about yourself, I'm eager to get to know you better" the blonde boy said and looked at Taehyung, patiently waiting for the younger to answer. "uhhm, what do you wanna know?" The young lawyer answered, not sure what to answer. The blonde boy smiled and picked up his glass of orange liquor. "you know, the usual stuff, family, friends, job, pets, sexuality, favorite color" Jimin said before he took a sip out of his glass. "I'm a very curious person, you name it and I wanna know it" the blonde boy finished and gave the brown haired boy a wink.

Taehyung didn't know why but he felt comfortable around the boy next to him. Jimin was clearly easy going and wasn't keen on making sure Taehyung knew he only wanted sex. He even found ways to make Taehyung laugh, which is exactly what he was doing right now. He felt save and had a feeling Jimin and him could become great friends.

"Well, where shall I start" the young lawyer said while looking at the boy next to him. He picked up his glass of wine before he started speaking "I'm from Daegu, I have a younger brother who basically is the most important person in my world, you just met my best friend, I work as a lawyer at Wang inc., I don't have pets but would like to adopt a dog one day, I'm gay and my favorite color is grey." The young lawyer said before taking a sip out of his glass. It was almost empty now, and it made him somewhat sad.

To his surprise Jimin grew a small smirk on his face before he took a sip out of his glass. Taehyung raised his eyebrows slightly, did he say something weird? "What?" he decided to say in order to find out why the blonde boy was smirking. Jimin put his glass down and straightened his back before he looked Taehyung in his eyes. "I knew you were gay" Jimin said before laughing at Taehyungs stunned face.

Taehyung was about to ask him why that was such a big deal when Jimin's phone rang. He saw the blonde boy look at the caller id and heard him silently curse before excusing himself and walking a few steps away from the both to pick up his phone. Taehyung couldn't heard everything the blonde boy was saying, only having heard the words boss, target, information, job, car and outside before Jimin ended the call. Taehyung wasn't the person to sneakily listen to someone's private calls but he couldn't help himself this time, he was left all alone in a booth with Jimin talking to someone not even five steps away from him. What was he supposed to do, put his hands over his ears?. As Jimin made his way back to their booth he looked at Taehyung with friendly yet sad eyes. He almost looked disappointed.

"Sorry TaeTae but I have to go, my boyfriend is waiting for me outside" He said before picking up his glass and emptying it in one go, something Taehyung would never be able to do without throwing up right after. He was kind of shocked at the boyfriend thing though, the boy didn't mention it before. The blonde boy carefully placed his now empty glass back on the table of the wood colored booth again and looked and the young lawyer with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

"Look, I had a great time tonight and I think we could become great friends". Taehyung looked into his dark brown eyes waiting for him to continue with what he was trying to say. "I just uhh.." a small silence fell between the boys while the older of the two was trying to find the right words to finish his sentence "Ahh fuck it what I'm trying to say Tae is that I would love to get your number if you're okay with that" the blonde boy finally managed to say with a hint of insecurity lacing his voice. It was kind of cute, how he was so nervous trying to ask the young lawyer for his phone number.

"Sure, I would like to be friends, if your boyfriend is okay with that ofcourse" Taehyung answered while taking a sip from his glass of wine. If the boy in front of him indeed had a boyfriend he wouldn't do anything to get on the man's bad side. Even though Jimin was the one who spoke to him first he knew that if the blonde boy got into a fight he would be the one getting the blame and he would be the one receiving the hits from the boyfriend. That's how it always went in movies right?

Jimin smiled at him and unlocked his phone before handing it over to Taehyung. Taehyung carefully took it in order to not let it drop and smiled when he looked at the background which was displayed on the phone. Jimin was getting a kiss on his cheek from an older looking boy with silver/grey hair while he held Jimin against his chest in his arms, a protective gesture which clearly showed how much the silver haired boy loved the blonde. Jimin on the other hand had a smile from ear to ear on his face and looked like he had the time of his life. Overall the picture was really sweet in Taehyungs eyes and he hoped that one day he would be able to have a moment like this with someone.

Taehyung quickly went to put his number in Jimin's phone and handed it back to the blonde boy who in return smiled. "Don't worry Tae, Yoongi won't be mad, he knows how much I like making new friends." Jimin said before standing up from the boot again. "After 5 years he's pretty used to it" the blonde boy said with a smile on his face. Taehyung thought it was cute, the way Jimin smiled while thinking about his boyfriend. He hoped one day he would be in that situation too, just thinking about someone and having a smile on your face. That would be perfect.

"Well anyways, thanks for tonight Tae, I'll text you tomorrow" Jimin said before he turned around and began making his way to the exit of the bar. Taehyung smiled at himself, ohh how he would love to see Lisa's face when he is going to tell her the boy she left him with already had a boyfriend. The fact that he did didn't matter for Taehyung though, he felt comfortable around Jimin and would love to see him again.
