13. A Surprise.
Soon, the morning light peeked through Yuri's window, waking her from her sleep. She had no plan of waking up right now. If needed, she was planning to take a leave today.
But again, her freaking alarm made her open her eyes to kick it out of the home finally. She didn't know why she still hadn't turned it off.
After finally she felt that there was nothing to disturb her, she laid back. Her phone started to ring. She groaned before picking it up from the headboard, trying to clear her vision so she could look at the caller ID.
Again, she let out a groan when she saw her secretary's name on the screen, a very punctual person. After some good seconds of mental curing, she finally picked up the phone.
"Hello! Good morning." She greeted.
"Good morning, ma'am! Were you sleeping till now?" Hana inquired.
Yuri's head fell back on her pillow at that question. She did her best to speak in a normal voice, but Hana still caught her. "What is it about?" She asked, not answering Hana's question.
"I called you to inform you that don't come to office today!" She said in a rushed tone.
"What?" Yuri asked, now fully awake. "I mean you have a meeting today," Hana spoke.
"When? I just checked my schedule last night and there was no important meeting to be attended today." Yuri spoke. Hana was quiet for a moment lost for words. But then she continued, "Maybe you didn't check properly."
Yuri, groaning, asked further, "When is the meeting? With whom?"
"At 10, in a restaurant," Hana spoke. "A restaurant? Which restaurant?" Yuri asked, frowning.
Hana looked at the man standing in front of her, gesturing for him to tell her what to say next.
Jimin mouthed, while making hand gestures at the same time, 'Say that you will text her the address.'
"I will provide you the address as soon as I get it from them," Hana spoke, absolutely scared of the consequences of the actions that Park Jimin was making her perform.
"And with whom?" Yuri asked, with furrowed eyebrows. Hana gave a little smile to Jimin.
"With Park Jimin." While she spoke in a joyful voice, Jimin freaked out. Hearing silence from Yuri's side, she realized what she blurted out and they both looked at each other, with two big 'o's replacing their eyes. Hana panicked, not knowing how to cover up.
"What?" Yuri's voice came out a bit darker. Hearing her changed tone, Hana panicked more, while looking at Jimin's direction who was giving her deadly glares for ruining his plan.
Jimin, then looked shocked to see Hana starting to laugh like a mad woman while Yuri face-palmed herself.
"What did you think? Your meeting is with Park Jimin?" Hana again started to start her fake laugh before continuing, "It's too good to tease you. Seems like he is on your mind all the time." She again started to laugh a bit.
She then gulped hard hearing silence from Yuri's side, knowing she was dead now. She mentally cursed Jimin for bringing it upon her. Yuri, made an 'annoyed as fuck' face, before speaking, "Are you high on drugs in the early morning?"
"No! What are you saying?"
"Fine! Also, don't forget to take a checkup today." Yuri spoke sarcastically. "What the-" But before Hana could finish, Yuri hung up the call.
Hana let out a long sigh of relief. Looking at Jimin, she asked with a proud smile dancing on her lips, "So, how did I do?"
"Horrible." Jimin let out before walking out from Hana's office, making her smile drop. "Hey! You ungrateful person! I freaking lied to my boss for you!" Hana shouted from behind.
Jimin sat inside his car, a beautiful curve tugged at the corner of his lips. "Just wait and watch, my love," Jimin said, smiling to himself.
Giving a last glance at herself in the mirror, Yuri turned her feet towards the door to head out for the meeting. As she sat inside her car, she opened her phone to see the messages from Hana. She had sent her the address and name of the restaurant.
'The Starstruck', it said. Yuri knew about it. She had been there twice, but that was years ago. It was so calm and a relaxing place to visit. She loved that place.
She told her driver to drive her to the restaurant. The distance was long, but she didn't even pay attention to what was even passing by. All she had in her mind was that one person - Park Jimin.
Soon, she arrived at the said destination. Stepping out of the car, she breathed in the freshness of the place. Nestled in a serene setting, the beautiful restaurant exuded tranquility and warmth, a perfect haven from the chill of winter.
As she stepped into the open area, the soft winter sun rays poured in, casting a golden glow that gently kissed her skin. The atmosphere was peaceful, with a sense of calm that enveloped her like a gentle embrace.
The outdoor seating area, surrounded by lush greenery, offers a sense of alfresco dining, while the comfortable seating and crisp linens ensure a cozy experience. The warm sunlight dances across the tables, casting a gentle warmth on the faces of the patrons, creating a sense of comfort and relaxation.
She stepped inside, awestruck with the aroma around her. The restaurant's design blends seamlessly with nature, creating a harmonious balance between the built and natural environments.
The soft rustle of leaves, the sweet songs of birds, and the gentle hum of conversation all blend to create a symphony of serenity. It hadn't changed even a bit.
She went to sit at one of the tables, setting her things out at the side. She cast a glance at her watch, seeing it was almost 10. The soft hum of conversation and the gentle clinking of dishes filled the air.
Sipping on her coffee, she looked towards the entrance to see if there was any sight of the clients, but she found none. A few minutes passed of her waiting there. She grew impatient with every passing second. Finally, she took out her phone to call Hana.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, the sound system came to life, and the staff began to move in sync with the music.
Yuri's eyes widened as the restaurant transformed before her eyes. Now dressed in fancy attire, the staff revealed hidden talents - some spun plates, others juggled glasses, and a few even performed acrobatics. The hall was electric, and Yuri's curiosity was piqued.
Just as she wondered what was happening, she heard Jimin's honey voice as he emerged from nowhere, his confident stride and charismatic smile commanding attention. He began to sing and dance, his movements fluid and captivating. The lyrics echoed through the room:
"That uninterested face of yours, the bored tip of your toes
Please, look at me now
Put your phone down, don't even think of turning your head away"
He sang gracefully, as he approached her.
"Let me know your type
You can pick and choose me, yeah"
She flinched when she felt him closing her eyes with his soft hands. She felt him taking her somewhere. She was too shocked even to react.
"Oh, I cover your eyes with my hands
Oh, get closer to the secret
I'll take you to a whole new world
Yeah, open your eyes now, go!"
She felt light slowly making its way towards her eyes as he removed his hands. She was awestruck at the view in front of her. The place looked like the one in fairytales. So dreamy yet sparking in elegance. She didn't even realize how a huge smile graced her cherry lips as she heard him singing.
"Mix the colors in the palette, pick your filter
Which me do you want?
The one to change your world, I'm your filter
Overlay me in your heart"
His voice was smooth and sultry, as he glided across the floor. Yuri's initial shock gave way to fascination as Jimin teased her with his performance, his eyes locked on hers. She was awestruck as she gazed at him, hypnotized by his graceful moves. She saw him approaching, still frozen.
"(OK) Can you feel it now? Is it still not enough?
(Yes) Girl, you have your chance"
He took her hands, pulling her to the spotlight, spinning her around before pulling her back to him, encircling her waist. He leaned into her ears, and her body trembled as he sang the lyrics, and she felt the vibrations give shivers down her spine.
"I can be your Genie
How 'bout Aladdin?
I'll be anything
You can pick and choose me, yeah"
He turned her around, her back now pressed to his chest. Her breathing quickened when she felt him leaving a fluttering kiss on her shoulder, moving his body with hers. She felt ecstasy running in her veins and he was having fun teasing her, enjoying the way her body reacted to his touches.
"Oh, I will embrace you like in your dreams
Oh, it's a covert spec
For you, every day I'll be new
It's not fun for something to stay the same all the time"
She suddenly felt empty when she no longer felt Jimin behind her. Turning around she watched Jimin taking steps back, now starting to dance to the lyrics. She loved the song. Jimin's voice was making her see all the stars in the broad daylight.
"Mix the colors in the palette, pick your filter
Which me do you want?
To change your world, I'm your filter
Overlay me in your heart"
He took her hands, bending one knee on the ground, planting a soft kiss on top of her hands, before getting up again.
"Look at me who has suddenly turned into a child
The more I look, the crazier I get on how cute it is
Overcoming different tastes and standards
You'll be wanting only me
Yeah, because you are the one who made me"
Yuri giggled, feeling her heart thumping loudly.
"I'm a brand-new filter that you've never seen before
Leave you to me
To see more thrilling things, pick your filter
Contain only me"
She saw how everyone, who was present there, had joined Jimin's mini-concert, dancing freely to his rhythms.
"Na na na na na na na na na
Pick your filter, contain only me
Na na na na na na na na na
I'm your filter, leave you to me"
She felt herself getting pulled by Jimin, now in his arms. He brought his face closer to hers, his breath fanning over her lips, as he whispered, making her heart and mind go crazy.
"It'll be a new us
Ay, overlay me in your heart"
The music climaxed, and Jimin struck a final pose, his chest heaving with exertion. The room erupted in applause, and Yuri joined in, her hands clapping wildly. Jimin's eyes sparkled triumphantly, and Yuri felt her face flush with happiness. The music faded, leaving only the sound of laughter and applause. Jimin took her hand, and Yuri let him warmly embrace her.
"So, how was it?" Jimin whispered, gazing at her lovingly. She looked into his eyes and after so much time, Jimin saw her eyes shining bright again. The flame in them had returned making her look prettier than she already was. Jimin smiled hugely seeing her happy.
"I love it! I never knew you could sing so beautifully." Yuri said cheerfully, amused. "It felt like you shouldn't end singing. I- Thank you so much, Jimin." She flashed him her beautiful smile.
Men love to be the heroes of their women. Jimin felt beyond happy when Yuri appreciated his efforts. Expressing gratitude is surely crucial in everybody's life. "I am so happy that you like it."
"And your dance, that was goddamn amazing! Means I couldn't take my eyes off." Yuri exclaimed, light-heartedly. Jimin loved how a huge and full smile was plastered on her lips, her white teeth shining. He had never seen her smile so brightly. The sight seemed to take his breath away, mesmerizing him.
