Work Text:
Euphoria is buzzing with music when jungkook reaches the gates, the heavy bass thrumming under his feet. he takes a deep breath in as he feels the music reach him before pushing through the doors and reaching into the tangled bodies of almost half of Seoul.
it's a Friday night, so the crowd is expected. almost everyone has come downtown it seems, to take their minds off of their daily lives and indulge themselves into simple pleasures. drink, dance, enjoy themselves, and maybe try and find someone to take home to or get taken home along.
jungkook was here for just that, except for the ‘taking home’ related stuff. you see, he wasn't exactly keen to have sex, not like jimin atleast (jimin had now found taehyung to be freaks together; it was a nightmare to sit anywhere in their house without prior knowledge) or on having a ‘no-strings attached situationship turned to strings attached relationship’ like seokjin and hoseok (they were way too mushy with each other and it made jungkook gag). he just wanted to have fun, maybe buy drinks for someone attractive and enjoy the evening with and then, hopefully end up making out the whole night with whoever showed enough interest in him.
walking up to the bar, he kept himself upright and confident. he knew he looked good today, his all black outfit did wonders to him. the several silver chains he had stacked together along with the silver rings adorning his fingers, paired with his numerous piercings, made him look exactly like the bad boy of dreams of many but he was far from the typical bad boy. one look into his eyes and the person would find themselves cooing at him (something he hated every time seokjin did it).
the bar was mostly empty with only few people near it, most of them wanting to let loose and dance on the dance floor. jungkook could’ve straight up gone to the dance floor, he enjoyed dancing a lot, it was one of his favorite activities but, today he wasn’t in the mood for it. he leaned back against the bar, watching the bartender as he walked around, mixing the several liquors and syrups at his disposal to make his, and several others drinks. the bartender was a swift fellow, delivering his drink quickly. he thanked him and sipped on it, his eyes wandered around as he did. he silently enjoyed the music, taking in the ambience of the club, until his eyes caught sight of her.
she looked beautiful under the dim purple lights of the club, her jewellery glowing and shimmering as she moved and turned. she was laughing at something, or someone, and jungkook could see her dimples pop as she did, and god, did she look so fucking pretty. her hair was past shoulder length and wavy, yet styled casually in a way that suited her. the fitted tank top she wore along with the baggy jeans only enhanced her figure without looking awkward.
before he could register it, jungkook had already walked right next to her. up close, she looked even prettier and he gulped, fanning himself to calm himself down. he took in a deep breath before clearing his throat, catching the attention of the woman. she turned around, facing him, and jungkook felt himself swoon. her eyes were beautiful and her gaze made him giddy almost. her eyes were dragon-like, and so intense that jungkook wanted to swim in them.
“yes?” oh gods, even her voice was so pretty, slightly low but so sweet. it really suited her so well. he cleared his throat again after realising how awkward it was since he had just been staring at her. he leaned just a bit against the bar counter, schooling his expression to a better expression, wanting to impress her.
“could i buy you a drink, beautiful?” he asked, purposefully speaking lower so as to emphasize his voice and it seemed to have worked because the woman’s eyes widened. jungkook was looking forward to the positive response before she smirked and moved back just a bit letting him have the view of the barstools behind her.
there was another woman sat there, behind her. she was shorter than the one standing in front of him but was really pretty as well. she had shoulder length hair, cut in a wavy bob, which she had tied in a small half bun. she was scrolling through her phone with a bored expression which made jungkook get even more curious. she looked every bit the cool girl with her pretty piercings and stylish outfit. the big rings on her slender fingers glinted under the lights as she kept her attention on her phone. before he could keep looking at her, the woman in front of him spoke up again.
“sure! could you buy one for my girlfriend as well?” the woman asked while smiling at him. jungkook for sure had a surprised expression on his face. these two gorgeous women were actually girlfriends! how silly of him to offer buying drinks but he wasn't backing out! well, maybe jungkook wouldn't be getting any kisses tonight but at least he will get to spend his time with two attractive women instead! he nodded and quickly took out his fluffy wallet, counting his money in there.
“hmm, sure! if we add her, then you two can have big ones and i can have a small one!” jungkook said, his voice enthusiastic, causing the woman in front of him to let out a laugh. it captured the attention of the one sitting on the barstool behind her as she got up and stood next to the woman.
“who's this, namjoo-ah?” the woman asked. up close, she was paler than the two of them and was shorter too. the oversized jacket she wore made her look petite and her voice was softer but still deep. she had her own beauty and looked really adorable under the club lights.
“unnie, he's gonna buy us drinks!” the woman, namjoo, replied excitedly to her. the woman's eyes met jungkook and he felt himself panic just a bit before rushing to introduce himself to the cool woman in front of him.
“h-hi! I'm jungkook, jeon jungkook.” he said as he thrust his hand forward for a handshake before realising he was at a club and people definitely did not shake hands here. he took his hand back, carding his fingers through his hair to air out some of his embarassment.
“sorry, that was so lame of me.” jungkook said, his cheeks flushed from his embarrassment. this had the woman letting out a soft chuckle before she took two steps and stood right in front of him.
“it wasn't lame at all.” she said as she put her hand forward for a handshake. “hi, I'm yoonji, min yoonji. and she's my girlfriend, kim namjoo. nice to meet you.” jungkook shook yoonji’s hand with a smile as the bartender kept working and people kept dancing around them.
“so,” yoojin began, “I heard you were buying us drinks?” she said and jungkook nodded his head enthusiastically.
“yeah! you two can have something big and i can have something small!” he replied, turning around to point at the menu while asking them what they wanted and ordering for them. namjoo and yoonji looked at each other, already agreeing silently that the boy was way too adorable and was already growing on them.
some time later, the three stood outside the bar with their drinks in their hands. it was getting way too crowded inside and lucky for him, yoonji was also a hater when it came to overcrowded areas so they had both flanked namjoo and booked it out of the club. here in the alley by the club, jungkook sipped quietly on his sweet and fruity drink while yoonji smoked a cigarette as she was already done with her drink. namjoo was quietly sipping hers with a straw while quietly observing the street and it's people.
“say, do you like pizza?” namjoo asked jungkook after a while. jungkook looked up at her (she was definitely taller than him and was wearing heels as well) and nodded his head. to her side, yoonji was quietly looking at him before namjoo was turning her head and silently having a conversation with yoonji with her eyes before turning to face him again.
“let's go have some pizza, then. this time it's on us.” namjoo suggested with a sweet smile while yoonji nodded her head beside her, crushing the cigarette under her feet.
the three walked together towards a small pizzeria near the club. it wasn't crowded and the scent of cheese wasn't as overwhelming as it was in other pizza places. jungkook quite liked this place already.
the three of them took a table and sat down with namjoo ordering for the three of them. once the pizza was served, the three got to talking. introductions and such were done and jungkook realised he really liked every moment he had spent with namjoo and yoonji this evening, so far. they were really nice to talk to and jungkook felt really relaxed around them.
as they talked, jungkook discovered that both namjoo and yoonji were older than him and had been together for nearly 13 years now. they were a producer-songwriter duo under a really prestigious music company in seoul while jungkook was a freelancer in graphic designing for several companies but it paid well and that's what he wanted. plus, it was really flexible with the schedule.
they discovered that they lived quite nearby to each other. namjoo and yoonji lived together in the richer part of the neighborhood while jungkook was somewhere in the middle. it would take around ten minutes of walking from jungkook's house to theirs and vice versa.
it was quite late at night once they left the pizzeria. jungkook had insisted that he walk namjoo and yoonji to their house and they had let him because there was no way someone as pure as jungkook would be a creep. while the streets near the clubs and restaurants were buzzing with people and were full of life, the residential areas and neighbourhoods had already quieted down. the three walked together, saying jokes and giggling together.
“...and i recently bought a new bike! it's super cool and looks really trendy! i love riding bikes a lot!” jungkook said as he walked in the middle of namjoo and yoonji. the topic of bikes had set off yoonji into admitting that she found bikers attractive to which jungkook had smiled widely and blushed before promising to show her his bike someday.
“maybe you could take us on a ride next time, jungkook-ah.” namjoo said as the three reached namjoo and yoonji’s house.
“sure- wait, next time?” jungkook said with hope shining in his eyes. he sure as hell wanted to hang out with them more and if they did too, then that was just wonderful!
namjoo smiled, her eyes closing and her dimples popping before she dug out her phone and walked up to jungkook.
“here's my KaTalk ID. let's keep in touch, yeah?” namjoo said as she watched jungkook quickly scan the QR and add namjoo into his kakao. he smiled brightly at the two before bidding them goodbye, waiting by the curb till he was sure that they both went inside the house. when he saw that they had both gone inside, he turned around, getting ready to walk home as well before he heard his name being called. he turned around, only to find namjoo and yoonji heading towards him once again.
they stood on each side of jungkook and he made a confused ‘oing?’ as he felt yoonji pull him down by his sleeve before he was silenced by the soft kiss being placed on his cheek. he stood motionless as he kept looking at yoonji before he felt a hand on his shoulder, his head turning to face namjoo before she was leaning in and kissing his other cheek as well.
he stood there for a while before cupping his cheeks and blushing wildly and moving in front and turning around to face them with an incredulous look on his face. he must’ve made such a strange sight, dressed in all black but cupping his face which were bright red.
“wh-wha-what?!” jungkook stuttered. his heart was thundering in his chest. he hadn't even made out! it was just cute pecks on his cheeks by the two of the most attractive women he had met in a while. he stared at the two, his face getting redder by the minute.
“just a goodnight kiss, baby. see you next time!” namjoo said as she and yoonji walked back towards their house. just before getting in, namjoo turned around a blew a flying kiss in his direction which had jungkook squeaking before he waved goodbye at her and took off running as namjoo watched his retreating form with a soft smile.
“he's definitely a keeper.” yoonji mumbled next to her as they watched jungkook turn the corner, following the street towards his house.
“yeah. yeah, he definitely is.” namjoo mumbled right back before the two were locking the door and heading inside.
when jungkook reached home, his heart was still beating rapidly. sure, he hadn't had a make out session this time but those pecks had been nothing less. he sat down in a squat with his back against the door, covering his face with his palms and screaming in them. fuck, he probably liked them so much already. he couldn’t believe himself. he had never fallen so quick and so attracted to someone.
his phone buzzed in his pocket then and he took it out before his face was turning bright red again. he had been added to a group and there were two new texts on his phone screen.
namjoo and her babies (yoonie + googie)
namjoo kim:
hey jungoogie! it's namjoo and yoonji unnie :)
just wanted to say, me and yoonji really had fun tonight and i meant it when i said you could show us your bike next time.
let's meet up soon <3
goodnight.
yoonji min:
goodnight, junggoo-ah :)
see you soon <3
yeah, jungkook definitely did like them more than he realised, he thought, as he kept re-reading the messages late into the night. he felt like a teenager with a crush again. as he settled in for the night, there was only one thought in his head,
he really couldn't wait for their next date to arrive.
