It was finally the night of the Gala, Jimin was at home getting ready for the night. They were sent home early so they can get ready for the night. Every biologist was to wear something classy and there were no exceptions! Jimin did drop Jungkook off and promise he'll pick him up after so he had to be quick in order to arrive before the sponsers do. It'll be a long night close to a royal ball, but in reality, it was just a perfect show to have the attention of rich professors who were interested in investing their money on the next big thing. That's why they were important.

                Jimin walked up to the mirror and gazed at his reflection. Jimin stared at his reflection and threw back his red vibrant hair and fixed his glasses. The man wore the tux his wife brought him, the matching black coat along with the black dress shirt and slacks with just a white tie to seal the look. Jimin held the coat in his hands and brought out a picture of Jungkook on his phone with the attire he'll be showing up in. Jimin sat back on the bed as he looked at the picture and blushed to himself.

             "If only for one night... I can be free." Jimin whispered as he kept looking at the picture. "If only you and I got along a while back... I wouldn't be in this marriage and you would have saved me. But now look at me, sitting here with a ring on my finger while looking at pictures of someone who I love. Why does it hurt to hide the fact that I'm no longer straight with you..?" Jimin whispered and sighed, looking at Jungkook's picture. "Why do I want you...?"

               Suddenly, Jungkook started to call Jimin and then the man just stared at the caller ID, letting out and exhale and held up the phone to his ear quickly to answer. "Hello?"

             "Hi, Jimin! Are you ready for the night of your life, Birthday Boy?" Jungkook asked as Jimin already imagined a smirk appearing on the younger's face.

             "Calm down, all we are doing is gathering a sponser and then if we get one, we go out and drink. That's all we are doing tonight. Okay? No big party at the Gala or elsewhere." Jimin mentioned. But Jungkook only gave his usual sly chuckle.

            "Mhm... Anyways, are you ready yet? I need you to take me to the store so I can pick something up." Jungkook said as Jimin stood up from the bed and grabbed his wallet and keys for the house and the car.

          "I'll be on my way then." Jimin stated, throwing on his coat and pushing up his glasses too on his way out of the room.

          "Alright, don't be late. I'll see you later. Thank you again." Jungkook said and hung up the phone after while Jimin hurried out of the house, locking it and dashing to his car so he can pick Jungkook up. Jimin took Jungkook words seriously and didn't want to let the younger down. He did all he could to impress him as much as Jungkook did to him.

          Jimin started the car and swiftly placed on his seatbelt and started to drive to Jungkook's house. Along the way, Jimin wondered what Jungkook was in a rush to get at a store, but then he brushed it off as thinking Jungkook would need to use an ATM or try to pick something up like a medicine. Jimin soon reached Jungkook's house and finally pulled up by the calm street, Jungkook walked out so instantly like he was watching out the window to see when Jimin would arrive.

            The younger's look was dashing, far better than charming and handsome. Jimin gulped as he payed attention to Jungkook's masculine figure. The muscles that never failed to show the firm outline on his torso from his baby blue dress shirt that had the sleeves rolled up and the black tie just hanging from his collar. The older just couldn't look away as Jungkook made his way up to the passengers side of the door and got in. Brushing his dark brown hair back like Jimin, just then.. Jimin realized Jungkook had light blue eye contacts that had a hint of a grey color.

             "Hello, Jimin." Spoke the younger and this was enough to highlight the red on Jimin's cheeks. "I thought you would wear contacts tonight?"

          "I-I... I didn't have time to talk to my  ophthalmologist about the contacts that is right for me to order..." Jimin added and looked at the steering wheel in silence. "The glasses suit me better..."

            "I think anything suits you." Jungkook flirted and finally brought his gaze away from Jimin to look ahead and set his seat belt on. "Ah! I almost forgot!  I need to head off to the store and buy something.." Jungkook mentioned as Jimin nodded so quickly, almost close to giving him a whiplash. It was no secret he was nervous on how attractive Jungkook looked and it made him blush. Jungkook took a good look at Jimin's coat and dress shirt, switching on the light above them in the car and making such a cute smile. "Oh Jimin, look at you! You're so handsome! I need to take a picture of you." Jungkook added and kept his eyes glued onto Jimin's attire. Making Jimin blush throughout the whole time he drove Jungkook off to the store for a quick errand.

               Jimin finally parked his car outside a store after seeing Jungkook quickly get out and jog to the entrance of the store. Jimin sat there with the cool air rushing in from the vent and that only caused him to raise the temperature and gaze at the time thay flashed on the clock of the screen at the center of the dashboard. "8:30PM... Ah, the Gala would take two hours and then we go out for drinks... I just hope I don't get home really drunk and bother Yun-se about it. She tells me to take it easy with drinking but she really hates if I come home extremely drunk." Jimin told himself and began to think on it. "Just two drinks... Then I'm out of there." Jimin told himself and layed back on the seat as he gawked the entrance of the store. "AH! How long does it take to get something? I don't want to end up walking in there with Jungkook by my side like a prince and a princess! That's embarrassing.." Jimin said to himself and wrapped his arms around the steering wheel to place his head down onto the wheel. Refraining from putting too much pressure down on the center of the steering wheel. "But... He does look handsome with those blue contacts.." Jimin said, beginning to smile to himself after.

           Ten minutes after which felt like an hour for Jimin, Jungkook finally came back and tapped onto the window of his side of the car. Signalling Jimin that he was here now and telling him to open the door. Jimin unlocked the door and Jungkook carried a small black bag that held items within it... But he swiftly set it at the bottom of the seat and looked at Jimin. "Let's go."

             "What did you get?" Jimin wondered curiously, seeing an outline of a bottle-like container and a box slightly bigger there too.

         "Nothing. Just a few medications and eye drops. Nothing more." Jungkook mentioned and poked Jimin's nose with a smile. "Just focus on the road, Jimin~" Jungkook stated and Jimin felt a little curious that he wanted to continue poking at Jungkook with questions... But knew there was no point in this anyways and decided to drive off to work with Jungkook just constantly looking in the bag and tying it up as soon as they reached closer and closer to the building.

               As soon as they arrived, Jimin took out his key from the ignition and stepped out of the car with Jungkook in sync, closing the door and locking it after with only his coat in his hands. Just then, Jungkook stood in front of Jimin and held his phone up to take a picture. "Stay still..." Jungkook demanded as Jimin smiled and covered his adorable face. "Jimin!" Jungkook chuckled as he stepped up to move Jimin's hands away and look at him. "You are very handsome! Just one picture won't hurt." Jungkook mentioned as Jimin blushed and allowed the picture. After taking the picture, Jungkook smiled and looked back at it.

            "Stop looking at the picture!"

             "No. Ah, look now the both of us having pictures of each other in our phones." Jungkook stated as he followed the older to the building where the Gala was being held. They stepped in holding their ID badges and scanning them as they passed by the entrance. Catching a few stares and whisperes on how great they looked. Jimin was set back by the feeling while Jungkook followed him everywhere. They soon managed to step into the big room and meet eyes with many professors there already being slowly lured in by biologists so they can get their sponser.

           "Not even an hour in and there are already people gathering around sponsers... How can Seokjin find a good professor now?" Jimin asked the younger as Jungkook just shrugged and let out a chuckle.

              "It's not that big of a deal. We have two hours, birthday boy. Might aswell have fun with it... Besides, it's Seokjin who needs to find a person, then we chime in." Jungkook advised but Jimin let out an exhale. Feeling as if he didn't see any professors available. "The Gala just started... There could be some who will show up late. So why not pass the time off and... Maybe we can dance together?" Jungkook suggested but Jimin shook his head while he looked around to see some biologists dancing with others, a girl and another girl were dancing together without shame and even a few people dancing alone! But Jimin looked down at his ring and was well aware everyone knew Jimin as the happily married man. So he rejected Jungkook's proposal and stood there silently waiting for something to happen.

           Yoongi then made an appearance, wearing a dark blue coat, black dress shirt and matching black slacks with earrings on and his hair combed down to cover his forehead while he stepped in with Seokjin who wore a classy white dress shirt that had frills along the cuffs, nicely polished black shoes and comfortable black dress pants too. Jungkook looked at the two approaching and nudged Jimin to look their way as they watched the two walk up to see them.

            "The gang is all here! You all look okay... But I look better of course." Seokjin gloated and shoved Yoongi while the shorter gave a blank expression and mouthed the words 'Kill me.'

          "Seokjin? I thought you were already here! What happened to the plan? We need a sponser." Jimin worried as Jungkook placed his arm around Jimin in front of the two friends.

           "Calm down, Jimin. You guys, it's the first hour of the Gala. You can't expect to find a sponser free right now. Give Seokjin time to find one." Jungkook testified while Yoongi nodded in return.

             "Bunny boy is right. Slow and steady wins the race." Yoongi stated as Seokjin hit Yoongi's back again. "Ack-"

               "Have faith in me, Jimin. Relax and I got this." Seokjin added as he looked around in silence and placed his hands on his hips to think of who to lure in to negotiate with. Jimin looked back at a group of musicians that formed an octet wearing suits and ties while people walked around in the classy decorated room. Jazz music played while a singer with a deep voice sang to the guests as he had a short black mullet, full eyebrows and a white suit with a charming and sharp look.

              Jimin watched the performance as Jungkook nervously touched the tip of his own index fingers together and wondered when would be a great time to talk to Jimin about what they have. Jungkook couldn't hold it in and longed to speak or else he never will. The boy thought of this as a perfect time and only looked down to smile as he slowly reached to grab Jimin's hand while Yoongi caught this and quickly went to bother Seokjin like he was distracting him on purpose while Jungkook locked hands with the one he admires.

              "Jimin..." Jungkook whispered as Jimin looked down at his right hand and back at Jungkook in silence. "Jimin, can we talk about this?...now?"
