Chapter 29 - More Like A Payback Dinner

"Why do you need to ask for my help? I mean there's Theo who has a fashion sense. But why me?" He asks, resting his body on the bed whilst checking out the dress I'm embarking on. 

"I know but I can't count him with this one," I mumble whilst checking my reflection in the mirror with the dress I'm holding. 

"Why don't you divulge Theo about this? I mean, he's your ultimate best friend and he knows about Christian."

I sigh whilst staring at the war and searching for the dress after helping it on the bed. 

"He keeps asking if there's progress between us and if I tell him about this, he will keep bothering me," I say. 

"And what's wrong with that? It's normal when he asks you about the progress and also, Christian is Theo's half brother." He explains as he crouches on the bed, observing the dress that I'm holding. 

Then, he shakes his head as his answer on the red and white polka dot dress. He glances at the dress that is resting on the bed and searches for it that will help me to wear for dinner. 

"It's nothing wrong with that. I just don't want Theo to be suspicious about the Christian's offer." I mumble, turning around, facing him, and searching again for the dress that I hurl on the bed earlier. 

"Of course he will! Also, If I'm not mistaken, Christian is a very reserved man so it's unusual for Theo to hear that he invited someone to his place." 

"I know he's very reserved and he just invited me to dinner therefore, it's just a friendly dinner and nothing else."

"More like a payback dinner, Mia. Don't infer too much. I know you're very easy to fall in love with." I sigh.

"I know, that's why I'm very astonished when I fall in love with him. It's very risky to have a relationship with an actor." 

I confess my feelings and he's right. I'm very easy to fall in love with, even a wink of his eyes, smiles while his eyes slowly wrinkle, and the way he talks… I don't know… I think I'm going to pass out. But! I need to be more reluctant when I'm with him. As I say, it'll be risky when I fall in love with an actor. 

Then, I grab a black silky dress, place it in front of my body, and ask him, "How about this?" His brows intersect, yanking the dress away, and crosses his arms. 

"Are you kidding me? Are you going to seduce him? It's a big no!" He scratches his head in frustration before his eyes gaze at me. 

"Wait, is it really necessary to wear a dress? Don't get me wrong, the dress is fine when it comes to dinner but it's just a payback dinner. Don't push yourself to impress Christian. I know you." He rants as he stands up, searching for casual clothes inside my wardrobe.

"I'm not impressing him. I just want to look okay for the dinner." I mumble, crouching on the bed whilst looking at him as he scours for the dress.

He sighs, pulling out my ripped jeans nude color turtleneck long sleeve. 

"Try this on with the high knees boots. You don't need to wear a dress since it's really cold outside." He explains. 

I sigh, placing all the dresses inside the wardrobe before throwing myself at the bed. Then, I wince when he suddenly hits my forehead. 

"What was that for?" I ask, caressing my forehead whilst glaring at him. 

"I'm reminding you, it's not a date or a friendly dinner. It's just payback dinner" 

"I know." 

Abruptly, Yang appears from somewhere as she jumps and lies on Yoongi's lap whilst showing her charisma to him just to get her yearn. 

"Yang likes her species," I utter whilst smirking at him yet he just sits beside me, glaring at me. 

"So are you saying that I'm a walking cat?!" 

I shrug my left shoulder as I pick the clothes that I'll be wearing for dinner.

"Do you think they're okay without us?" I implore whilst stroking Yang's face. 

"They're fine besides Jasper, Erharth and Darryl were assisting them to manage the shop so now, we could have a long rest since it's only 2 in the afternoon." He explains while laying his body on the bed and placing Yang out of his lap so he could lay properly.

"That will be more disarray than before if the fans perceived that the 2 famous rappers were at the shop to assist the guys." He nods.

"By the way, do you know his address?" He asks. I nod, conceding to his query.

"He gave the address to me as I gave my number to him while we're at the shop so it's not tough for me to search his apartment."

"You should probably need to get ready for dinner so you have plenty of time to clean your apartment. It's very furry everywhere so you need to clean." He explains, pointing out the fur from the floor. I sigh, standing up and tidying all Yang's fur on the floor. 

Afterward, my heart beats rapidly as if it's coming out of my chest and my nervousness is like finding out of my lungs as if I'm going to pass out when my feet touch his enormous backyard. His house is not just a simple apartment, it's an enormous modern house that can reside at least 10 people. 

Then, I jolt on my position when hearing my ringtone, echoing around the place. I hurriedly grab my phone out of the purse to answer the call. I swallow, glancing at my phone when I see 'Christian Park' on my screen. I take a deep breath, calming myself down before answering his call. 

"Hey, where are you?" He asks on the other line.

"I-I'm...I'm on my way." I bite my lips, denouncing myself when stuttering. 

"Okay, the dinner is almost ready. Just ring the doorbell so I could open the main door for you."

"Okay,"  I say before hanging up the call.

"I really can't do this. I need to calm myself before entering his house." I whisper, slowly saunter to his backyard.

And as I reach the front door, I hesitate to ring the bell when feeling nervous at this moment. 

"It's just a simple dinner. Don't think about anything, just a payback dinner." I say to myself. 

But before I could ring the bell, a handsome man appears as he opens the don't widely whilst staring at me. 

"You're staring." He mumbles 

And so, he leans his face closer to mine whilst his smirk forms into his lips. I'm taken aback, avoiding his flirty mood but then, it changes into a friendly smile which will cause my death.
