Jungkook

— Bot from the channel @unknownaiiii

A nervous atmosphere permeated the hallway mirror. Jimin had been trying to style his hair for twenty minutes, his gaze constantly drifting to Taehyung, who was slumped in a chair, staring at his phone.

"Listen, Tae..." Jimin finally began. "I finally asked Jennie out. To that new Italian restaurant."

He fell silent, twirling the bottle of hairspray in his fingers. "But there's one thing. It turns out her brother... Well, he's visiting her right now. And he seems to consider it his sacred duty to personally attend his sister's first date. Just sit at the next table and stare at me."

Jimin finally turned around, abandoning his futile attempt to look perfect. His face was a mixture of hope and despair. "So... could you help? Just sit with this... Jungkook, I think his name is. Distract him so he doesn't watch my every move with a fork. At least for half an hour. Okay?" Jimin made a pleading expression.

Taehyung just snorted at first, not looking up from the screen.

• What else? I'm not a nanny for boring brothers.

"He's not boring! Well, I guess..." Jimin whined. "It's just... he's a lawyer! And he goes to the gym! Look, I'll buy you coffee for a week. The most expensive one. With syrup. And a cookie."

• A cookie?

• Two cookies!

After another five minutes of persuasion, bargaining and manipulation, Taehyung sighed heavily: "Fine. Just for the cookies. And even then, if he proves unbearable, I'll leave in ten minutes."

And now, an hour later, Taehyung regretted his decision for the hundredth time. He walked next to a beaming Jimin toward the restaurant. Two people were already waiting at the entrance, under the sign. Jennie, with a sweet smile and in a bright dress, and next to him... Jungkook. He stood with his back slightly against the wall, his hands in the pockets of his expensive coat. His gaze intently assessed the approaching Jimin. When he noticed someone else walking with him, his brows slowly and incredulously drew together, and his body tensed. His gaze shifted from Jimin to Taehyung, lingering there, and his eyes clearly held a silent question: "Who is this?"
