The crew looked back and forth at the exchange before them and soon exploded into laughter. They couldn't help themselves.
Tzuyu turned and rose a shaking fist in annoyance wondering which one of the bunch would have liked a good pounding first for daring to laugh at her.
Jimin walked over to her and threw and arm across her shoulders with a wide grinning face.
"Cheers," he shouted, raising his drink in the air.
"Cheers!" the others chimed back.
Tzuyu glanced at each of their happy faces and found that she was warming up to the sprightly group. It was odd but she felt like she belonged.
And just like that, the crew instantly fell in love with Tzuyu.
Jungkook cheered along with the everyone else even though he had no idea what the cheering was about. He stopped to look around and noticed that one of his crew members missing.
"Hey," he began,"Where's Jin?"
"He said something about going to the grocery store to buy some ingredients," answered Taehyung who was busy chowing delightfully on a huge lollipop gifted to him by Suzy.
"Really?!" Jungkook asked. His mouth salivated as he thought about the savory taste of Jin's cooking.
Jimin looked over to a corner of the bar and got an idea. He ran over to the bar counter and requested some darts from the barlady before returning to the group.
"Hey, guys. Which one of you could try to beat me at a game of darts?"
"As if!" Suga retorted.
"You're on your own, Jimin." Felix said turning back to the counter to finish his third helping of beer.
Everyone knew that Felix always was on point with his marksman skills. Felix never missed a mark. All he ever wanted to do like any other day was show off.
"Come on!" Jimin whined.
"We'll play!" Jungkook, Taehyung and Hoseok sang as they all took up individual darts to begin the game. Jimin knew all too well that neither of them stood a chance against his mad skills but he was glad for the little competition.
Jungkook made way back over to Namjoon and upon sitting back down, she reached for her unfinished martini. She paused after hearing Namjoon chuckling at her.
"What?"
"Cheers."
Tzuyu smiled wryly at her and clinked her glass with the infamous man before drinking down the rest of her drink in one go. The alcohol burned her throat the way she liked it and she thought that she would not mind having a few more drinks.
The front door was flung open causing the bell to ring out at its force. In came the blond chef carrying a few grocery bags with precious ingredients. He waltzed over to the ladies and bowed before them.
"My beautiful mellorines. I, chef Jin, will now prepare a delicacy for your palates."
Nayeon clapped her hands in delight. She had always loved it when Jin cooked up a little something for her when he visited. Not only were his dishes to die for but they were always spot on. After all, it wasn't everyday you get the opportunity to eat gourmet from a five-star chef.
"Are they always like this?" she asked Namjoon. The sounds of kitchen tools could be heard as the chef prepared his area for the preparation of his dish.
"Pretty much but it doesn't take long to get used to."
In less than no time, two plates were presented in front of them them on the counter, Nayeon could be seen already taking a bite out of her meal.
On each plate were probably the most carefully prepared ham, cheese and vegetable sandwiches that Tzuyu had ever seen. The taste was just as good. She gave her regards to the chef which made Jin.
Jungkook ran up to the counter wiping his uncontrollable drools with the cuff of his shirt. The sandwiches smelled heavenly and Jungkook definitely wanted a piece of the action.
"Jin, where's our share?"
"I only serve the ladies," Jin said.
"Hey, no fair!" the captain whined.
"Here, you can have a piece of mine, Jungkook." Tzuyu decided that she wouldn't mind sharing a piece of her share since she wasn't that hungry to begin with. She could not blame him, the sandwich was delicious.
"Really, Tzuyu? Thanks!" He reached out to take the piece held out to him but stopped himself.
"No. That's okay."
"You sure? Well okay- your loss." said Tzuyu as she turned back to her dish.
Namjoon and Jin were in awed silence. Jin then looked down behind the bar and presented a platter of sandwiches which made Jungkook's eyes lit up.
"This is for you and the rest of the long faces," the cook said handing the platter over to Jungkook.
The captain excited to receive them was just about to turn around when Jin grabbed his face with a firm hand squishing his cheeks and mouth causing them to purse out. The blond looked deadly at is captain.
"Make sure that you share them with everyone. Is that clear?"
Jungkook nodded quickly with sweat settling on his forehead. When Jin released him, he obediently ran over back to the others to share like the good captain he was.
Tzuyu sweat dropped at the unusual display that had just taken place.
Nayeon giggled, "Well that was different. You seem to have a good effect on Jungkook, Tzuyu."
"Huh? How so?" Tzuyu questioned.
"I'm surprised myself. He's never been one to give up on offered food- no matter what... Now," Jin began. He clasped his hands together, with a heart in his visible eye," Can I get you ladies anything else?"
Outside the sun was setting and the skies scourged with orange hue. Stores were on the verge of closing and persons were on the way home for supper. The evening continued on at Party's Bar including a few rounds of Poker which Tzuyu triumphed through winning some cash in the process.
She even won at a drinking contest. The rest of the day went unknowingly by but one thing was for sure: Tzuyu blended right in.
Nayeon paid close attention to the two newly weds in particular. The short and sweet stares and smiles shared between the two didn't go unnoticed by her watchful eyes.
Jungkook truly didn't have bad taste at all.
To be continued...
