After a few days, Jungkook began to visit the cafe regularly, and he was correct: Taehyung always visits the cafe to drink his usual drink.

He never tried to talk to the gorgeous boy because he assumed the other wouldn't talk much since he hadn't heard his voice.

Anyway, Jungkook was walking through his college hallways, a smile on his lips as he thought about Taehyung, but he snapped when he heard his best friend's voice.

"I've got something for you, Kook."

"What exactly is it, Hyung?" Jungkook inquired as he continued walking, & now Yoongi walking alongside him.

"Rose has written a proposal letter. She asked me to give you this." Yoongi said after showing him a letter.

"Hyung, I'm not interested plus I already like someone,"

"Oh, you're serious? And who exactly is that someone?" Yoongi inquired, his voice tinged with curiosity as he wanted to know about his best friend's love interest.

"It's a boy, and he isn't from our college," Jungkook responded.

"I'd like to meet him, dude. I mean, I'd like to meet the person who has stolen your heart." With a smile, Yoongi said.

"All right, let's go." Jungkook winked at Yoongi, who nodded and followed his best friend, who made his way outside of the college, and that's how they both decided to skip college.

They arrived at the cafe after a while, and Yoongi furrowed his brows and asked, "What are we doing here?"

"Stop asking so many questions, and let's go inside," Jungkook said as the other nodded, and they both entered the cafe, took their seats, and began waiting for Taehyung, who arrived a few minutes later.

"He's the one." Jungkook pointed to the gorgeous boy who was sipping his drink at another table today.

"Wow, he's stunning, Kook."

"I know. Hyung, I like him. Please do something. I want to tell him how I feel, but I'm nervous and afraid." Jungkook spoke into the other's ear, pleading for his best friend's assistance.

"You don't have to be concerned when Min Yoongi is your friend. Now you must wait and watch." Yoongi threw a wink before walking to Tae's table.

"Hello, lovely!" Yoongi said in a flirtatious tone, catching the attention of Taehyung, who was busy reading a magazine.

With his confused glorious almond eyes, the gorgeous boy put down the magazine and looked at Yoongi.

"Look, I'm gonna come to the straight point. My best friend who is sitting there and staring at you--likes you a lot." Yoongi said, pointed towards his best friend who couldn't help but get embarrassed by Yoongi's action.

Taehyung blushed when he found Jungkook staring at him.

Jungkook sheepishly smiled and waved his hand at the gorgeous boy, who waved back, shyly smiling, biting his lip, and mouthing a ‘Hi!’

After receiving a response from Taehyung, Jungkook got up and walked to the other's table, pushing Yoongi, who made an annoying face.

"Woah, dude______"

"Now I don't need you. Leave Hyung." Jungkook motioned his friend to leave with a small smile.

Yoongi glared at his best friend but got up, returned to his table, ordered a drink, and drank while listening to his best friend's conversation.

Meanwhile, "Hello, my name is Jungkook." Jungkook introduced himself, and Taehyung just smiled & fiddled with his fingers in response.

"Taehyung is your name. Right?" With a smile, Taehyung nodded his head in response.

"Such a lovely name, just like you," Jungkook stated, and Taehyung continued to smile, saying nothing.

"Hmm, I've been wanting to say this for a long time, but I was a little nervous." Jungkook began.

"I never knew what it was like to be able to look at someone and smile for no reason until I met you,"

Feeling shy by the other's romantic yet cheesy gestures, a red-tinted shade appeared on Taehyung's already rosy cheeks.

"Thank you for constantly making me smile," Jungkook added, noticing the other's blushing face.

Taehyung just smiled shyly, blushing profusely, but he became nervous when Jungkook said, "Hey, that's not fair. Please, at least, say something. I'd like to hear your voice."

Taehyung remained silent, fidgeting with his fingers and chewing his pinkish lower lip.

"What happened? Why are you silent?" Jungkook inquired but received no response.

Jungkook knitted his brows together and asked, "Why are you not speaking?"

He still didn't get a response, and Yoongi was perplexed by Taehyung's silence, but they both froze on the spot when the waiter, Hoseok, appeared and revealed.

"He can't speak. He is mute."

Jungkook froze on the spot, his doe eyes wide, shocked, and surprised, but he snapped when he heard his best friend's waves of laughter.

"Hahaha! Oh my goodness! You like a mute boy. Hahaha!!" With his laughter and his words, Yoongi hurt Taehyung who looked down at his lap, biting his lip and Jungkook noticed it.

"Shut up, Yoongi Hyung!" Jungkook growled at his best friend, who nodded and zipped up his mouth.

Jungkook then returned his gaze to Taehyung, who was now upset, "I apologise. I didn't realise you —— I'm sorry." He felt guilty and apologised.

Taehyung shook his head and made some hand gestures that Jungkook couldn't understand.

"Huh? What?"

"He's saying, It's okay," Hoseok said.

"How do you know what he's saying?" Jungkook asked Hoseok.

"Because I'm fluent in sign language." Hoseok replied, rolling his eyes slightly and added furthermore, "And for your information, this cafe belongs to Taehyung's brother named Kim Namjoon,"

"Oh! I see." That was all Jungkook said as he looked at Taehyung and smiled before speaking, "So what if you're mute? I still really like you."

Taehyung felt butterflies in his stomach, which he hadn't expected because people usually avoided him after learning that he was mute.

Taehyung smiled shyly and felt his heart explode when Jungkook held his hands and asked, "Uh— Would you go on a date with me?"

Jungkook was looking at the gorgeous boy, waiting for his response, when Hoseok interrupted, "You'll need his brother's permission to take him on a date." Hoseok explained, and Taehyung nodded in agreement.

"Ok then...I'll talk to his brother." Jungkook said with a chuckle, thinking it easy to take permission from Namjoon but oh, how wrong he was.
