OUTRAGIOUS

Inside Jimin's magnificent abode.

The two lads were spending their time making preparations. Taehyung was stunned by what Jimin was doing to his body, yet he couldn't object or complain. In the end, he did request assistance.

It was after midday when they unexpectedly received a parcel. Tae was the recipient, but there was no name on the box to indicate who sent it. The only thing on it was an address, which they discovered after searching it up on the internet was the address of the city's most luxury designer store.

Tae had supplied Mr. Jeon Jimin's address when he inquired where he would pick him up from, so he already knew that he was the one who sent this package to him.

They cautiously opened the box, and when they raised the top, Tae and Jimin gasped at what they saw. Inside the large package was an amazing evening costume, glistening with silver and blue sequins. Tae delicately picked it out of the box and held it in front of him, the glittering silver sequins reflecting in his eyes, making them appear dazzling. He couldn't stop himself from running his fingertips over the off-the-shoulder, v-neck tuxedo. He then hung it neatly in Jimin's closet, away from the chaos in the room. When Tae returned to the room, Jimin held up a matched silver and blue mask, a velvet box and high heels!

"Oh my goodness! That outfit is clearly a designer item! Oh my gosh, these gems and heels! Who's this enormous fish you discovered, huh? Tae? I can see this man is considerably wealthier than I am!"

"Oh," was all Tae could say. He didn't see why he had bothered to send him clothing. Maybe he didn't want to disgrace him, so he sent these just to be sure? The guy...

"Tae, I simply know that the party you're going to won't be ordinary. I mean, these outfits are made for high-class parties, and they even come with a masquerade mask! I'm not going to lie to you. I'm concerned about you... Are you certain you want to do this? Jimin gripped his shoulders tightly as he sought to judge his friend's reaction. He appeared to be ready to discourage or even stop Tae if he detected even the slightest uncertainty in his gaze.

But Taehyung's determination was already firmly ingrained, and Jimin saw no fear, uncertainty, or hesitation in his friend's eyes, so he gave up right away. He had never seen Tae's eyes be so resolute before. He even appeared to believe that this was a 'now or never' situation for him.

"All well, then... Let's get started, Tae!" Jimin finally relaxed as he began to produce some magic.

...

It was almost beyond seven p.m. when the masterpiece was done.

"Oh God, Taehyung!!! Look at how lovely you are! You are now the most beautiful man I have ever seen with my own two eyes!" Jimin's never-ending praises as he circled him again and again let Tae feel his invisible perspiration drops fall. But he understood his reaction since he had been stunned when he saw himself in the mirror. He never imagined that a lovely gown and proper grooming could alter someone to such an extent. He nearly didn't believe the boy in the mirror was him.

"Thank you very much, Jimin. I just cannot express how grateful I am." Jimin waved his palms at Tae as he spoke.

"Nah... This is just you and the dress, okay? I didn't even put on that much makeup. I just straightened your hair and dressed you up in that lovely outfit, and that was all it needed to bring out your inherent beauty. Ugh! I'm really envious of Mr. Jeon. That filthy guy is really fortunate!"

"Haha, don't speak like that. I bet you won't be able to say that when you meet him."

"No, no, no... I still think he's a lucky bastard, no matter how attractive he is! Oh, Tae, I think the folks who mocked you earlier would kill themselves if they saw you right now. You have the appearance of a rockstar, a fairy prince, or a young King!!"

That meant it was time for him to go.

Jimin followed him to the entrance. He was apprehensive about letting his beautiful buddy depart with someone he had never met before, but Tae was a mature man now. Besides, he promised to phone him when he arrived.

Jimin was once again taken aback as a limited edition black Lamborghini came to a halt in front of them. This was, after all, the automobile of his dreams, which he was unable to purchase because other, more wealthy and powerful individuals arrived first.

When a guy stepped out, Jimin's gaze narrowed. When Tae took a step towards him, Jimin abruptly pulled her back.

"W-wait, Tae. Do not tell me that man is the Mr. Jeon you are referring about." He inquired with wide eyes, pointing his pointer at Mr. Black Leather.

Tae looked at him and shook his head. "No, he is Mr. Jeon's friend. He's the one he dispatched to fetch me."

Jimin looked astonished. He leaned forward and whispered into Tae's ear. "Tae... that dude is... That dude is a prince! And he was supposed to pick you up?!"

"Who the hell is Mr. Jeon to order a prince to pick you up?" Jimin was clearly embarrassed, and judging from his reply,

"Prince? Do you mean the prince of the entertainment industry, or the business world, or something?"

"No! Tae, he's the genuine deal! That man is a true prince!"

Tae furrowed his brow and was going to inquire for further information when their gaze was drawn to the guy as he called him.

"Mr. Kim?" he inquired, and when Tae nodded, the guy paused for a time, staring at him.

"Oh... I almost did not recognize you." He uttered while smiling. "Shall we go now, Mister?"

Tae turned to face Jimin, who remained speechless. "I'm leaving now, Jimin." I will call you, okay." When Jimin finally broke, he shouted something and started going towards the car.

"Wait, uhm..." Jimin examined Mr. Black Leather. "You are Prince Min Yoongi, right?" he inquired, surprising Mr. Black Leather Jacket. He turned around instantly to check whether anyone had heard him. When he noticed that no one was around, he grinned at Jimin. It was clear that he did not expect anyone to identify him.

"Are you Mr. Kim's friend?" Don't worry about him; he'll be in excellent hands," stated the guy, who entered the car without addressing Jimin's query.

Jimin was left standing out front, absolutely shocked, staring at the vanishing automobile. This was much too wildly unexpected.
