It was late in the afternoon when Tae finally received a reply from Yoongi after leaving numerous calls and texts asking him to meet up at the same bakery. It wasn't anything great, just a plain "ok."

Taehyung gulped down a huge lump when he noticed the sour expression on Jungkook's face after he informed him he was going out. Jungkook had decided to stay home again, he didn't want to meet anyone and though he was glad he could work from home, his reason to stay back wasn't work or a way to avoid his friends, it was Taehyung.

He wished he could tell him that. Asking him to stay just for today, it wasn't like Tae was leaving right away and like always Jungkook was failing to express his thoughts. But Taehyung noticed the turmoil in his eyes, he understood what Jungkook wanted to say.

"I'll be back soon" He promised and walked out of the door. So many emotions and feelings resurfaced just by the little moment.

"Was that necessary?" He cursed himself at his own action, shaking his head at the weird thoughts that kept running through his head as he walked towards the place.

A satisfied sigh left his mouth as he walked on the pavement occasionally halting to click pictures of the colorful surrounding. He misses the times when he was just a small boy sitting in his mom's lap who would tell him all about colors. He had concluded blue was his favourite.

Taehyung believes he is just like the blue color, brave, complex, sometimes contradictory along with it's negative associations. He wouldn't call himself completely brave but brave enough.

No one is ever completely brave.

There is always something one fears no matter how great people tell you they are. Some boast about being brave because they haven't come across their fear yet. Life can't always be easy, there'll always be something that'll bring you to your ground level.

Jungkook still hasn't learnt to face his fear but Taehyung had been living through it all his life and for that he thinks it's enough.

Well he's scared of randomly bumping into people too.

"Shit. I'm so sorry!" The man who bumped into him walked past him, said. Tae didn't even get time to process what had happened.

"Wait... Taehyung?" The same person said, turning around.

"Yoongi?"

"Where were you going? I thought you were meeting me.." he questioned.

Taehyung looked around only to realise he had walked past the cafe being lost in his thoughts.

"I'm sorry I was just thinking something and I didn't realize.." he said, "let's go."

Yoongi laughed at his words as he continued walking

"Wait, is this yours?" Taehyung said, going to pick up a familiar silver strip.

"I'll take it" yoongi mumbled, but it was too late. Taehyung read the familiar name on the silver strip and his eyes went wide and Taehyung knew exactly where he had seen these.

"What is this?" fear rose in Taehyung.

"Those are my medicines Tae" Yoongi calmly replied putting his hand forward to take it back.

"Tae it's no big deal." His casual replies were really bothering Tae.

"Is this what you and Jungkook were going to meet up for?" He couldn't help but ask.

"Yea but he cancelled like usual so i had to get it." Taehyung really wants Yoongi to stop right now. He doesn't want to hear something he's not prepared for.
