Awkward.

The silence was awkward.

Jungkook was sitting in front of Taehyung, in the 'The Love Latte' cafe.

Jungkook had asked Taehyung to meet him and talk to him, or him talking to the younger but Taehyung had denied it. After a lot of pleading, the younger had decided to talk when he'll take a break between his shift.

So here they were now, sharing awkward glances. Staring at each other but never keeping an eye contact for more than three seconds.

"You've ten minutes!" Taehyung exclaimed, it had been fifteen minutes already and Taehyung had to work. He had enough of the older.

"Y-yeah." Jungkook nodded.

Keep it together!

Jungkook was about to lose his mind. He needed that. That thing. What's that called? Confidence, yeah? Confidence. God why was he here in the first place? He doesn't know.

"Jeon Jungkook speak up." Taehyung almost screamed. His voice was loud. Loud enough for Jin to look at them and raise one of his eyebrow. He came walking towards them, two pastries and a coffee in the tray, he was holding.

"Any problem, young man?" Jin asked as he placed the pastries and the coffee down.

"Nothing hyung, people just don't know how to talk." Taehyung spoke, sarcasm lacing his tone. Jin nodded and walked back.

"Jeon Jungkook?" Taehyung spoke again. It was getting annoying, now.

"Yeah yeah, just a minute." Jungkook took a sip of his coffee, and then took a big bite of the pastry, only to choke on it afterwards.

"Sorry, sorry." He apologized as he drank the coffee again.

"I don't think you're gonna say anything. I'll just go." Taehyung stood up.

"No. No. Wait. I like you." Jungkook confessed and looked down.

Taehyung was initially shocked but then he was amused by the older's confession. "And?"

"And nothing, I like you, date me."

"No."

"What?"

"No, I said no."

"Why?"

"Jungkook, are you sure you like me?" Taehyung asked.

"Yes Tae, I'm sure."

"That's not what I mean Jungkook. Do you pity me? If so, don't. I know I'm fucked up, but you don't have to like me because you pity me." Taehyung explained as be started eating his own pastry. Moaning at the delicious and rich taste of chocolate.

"No, Taehyung. You got this all wrong. I've never liked you out of pity. I did pity you, so so many days ago. But then I stopped. I like you for you, Tae."

"For me?"

"Yes, I have seen you Tae, you're the most brightest person. You're strong and bold and beautiful. I like you for who you're Tae, please date me, take your time if you want." Jungkook said as he tried to hold Taehyung's hand, but the younger was fast to pull it away.

"Time! Sure, sure. I'll take my time. Until then, you're prohibited to come near me!" Taehyung exclaimed.

"Pay for both of it before you go." Taehyung continued as he walked back, now taking the empty plates and the empty cup with him.

"Feisty." Jungkook chuckled.

Choi Myung So just shifted in the 'Blue Heaven' building.

He bought an apartment on the third floor. It was hectic, honestly. Shifting from Busan to Seoul. But he had to do business.

He had a business of garments. He would buy the material from the states, make them himself and then sell it in Korea.

It was in demand.

Handmade clothes are always in demand. He always thought the materials for the garments in the states are much more better than they're in Korea.

However, he was exhausted and decided to relax himself.

Relaxing means Clubbing.

Choi walked into the club, totally feeling the music.

He went up to the bar, ordering a drink for him.

"One Martini." He heard a rough voice saying.

He looked at the man, he looked in his early forties.

"You look new here?" The guy said, it was more of a question, though.

Choi nodded his head. "Yeah just came here from Busan."

"Hwal So." He put his right hand out, and Choi instantly shook their hands.

"Choi Myung So."

They talked for a bit. Not much, just asking each other about their whereabouts. Choi told Hwal that he's here for business. A business of garments and he needs someone to invest money.

"Oh? I can help." Hwal said.

"How?"

"I work in business, we can meet tomorrow if you want."

"But I've to go to the states tomorrow night."

"Ah, it's fine. We can meet before you go. I'll help you with the investments and everything." Hwal insisted. Choi took his sweet time to reply.

"Sure, I'll give you my address."
