"yoongi, wake up!" taehyung shook his shoulder excitedly, "we're here! we're at the airport!"

the older jerked up, the seatbelt holding him down. "i'm up!" yoongi said, voice raspy and scratchy since he just woke up from a nap. "let's go." taehyung nodded and they both got out of the cab, seeing seokjin paying the car rent.

once he was done, he turned to them, looking at yoongi from behind his sunglasses. "are you okay?" he asked, "you've been sleeping since like, forever."

"i'm okay. just tired."

"are you sure?"

"yeah," yoongi glared at hoseok who was holding back a laugh. "i'm okay." he spotted a coffee shop at the side. "uh, i see starbucks. i'm gonna go get a coffee. does anyone want anything?"

"i'll get it for you." taehyung said, subtly glancing down at his hips and yoongi have him a dirty look. "the usual?

"yeah." yoongi nodded.

"get one for me too." seokjin said.

"one for me!" hoseok and namjoon raised their hands.

"alright, so four iced americanos for you all?"

"yep!" the others nodded. taehyung gave them a thumbs up and walked to the coffee shop, sighing as he pulled on his sweater paws.

he entered the shop, immediately being hit the cold air from the air conditioners. he looked around, bowing at the staff as the door closed behind him. he walked to the counter, standing in the line while pulling out his card to pay. there were two more people in front of him; a lady who seemed to be in her late forties and a guy who seemed to be in his early twenties. the lady gave her order and paid, getting out of the line to wait for her drinks. taehyung heard the guy ordering his drinks, he couldn't quite make out what he was saying since it was muffled by his mask. taehyung shrugged, looking at the menu and mentally calculating how much he needed to pay.

just then, the door opened and a guy walked in, hissing on his phone. he came and stood behind taehyung in the queue. "damn you!" he said into the phone, voice quiet. "dont keep changing your order. we're already late!"

taehyung glanced at his watch, he had about 10 minutes before they had to check in. it wouldn't hurt to let the guy go first, right? it wasn't a bad idea. he looked back the person, seeing him fiddling with his wallet as he narrowed his eyes. "tell me the final order. this is the last time i'm asking. americano or caramel macchiato?" he waited for a moment. "okay two americanos and one caramel macchiato. iced. is that right? no? only one? okay, i'll try to be back soon."

once he hung up, taehyung spoke up. "hey." he spoke and the guy flinched, looking up at him. he turned around, seeing no one behind him. he pointed at himself. "me?" he asked in a polite tone.

"yeah. seems like you're in a hurry. you can go first."

"oh, no! its okay. you should go ahead."

"oh, i insist." taehyung got out of the queue and stood behind the slightly smaller guy. the other bowed at him, mumbling a 'thankyou' before the lady called out the next person. taehyung watched him give his order quickly, telling the lady, 'i'm sorry but could you please hurry up'. she nodded and he paid for the drinks before getting out the queue and standing aside, tapping his leg on the floor impatiently as he checked his watch. taehyung walked forward, teling his orders to the cashier and giving her his card. once the work was done, he went and stood at a side. soon, his name was called out.

"taehyung?" a lady called out. he walked to the counter and smiled at the lady who was keeping her drinks on the counter. "jeongguk!" she then called out and the guy from earlier came to stand beside him. he bowed at taehyung slightly as he picked up the two plastic cups, a green cup holder with the logo of the shop protecting his hand from the sudden coldness. taehyung steeped towards the guy, standing in front of him now, when a group of teenagers swarmed the counter.

"thank you once again." the guy bowed and taehyung nodded. jeongguk smiled once and started walking out but his leg was held back and he tripped, spilling his drinks all over them as they both fell to the ground with a loud thud.

the two groaned in unison and taehyung choked as jeongguk's whole weight shifted on him, their lips touching as Jeongguk lost his balance and fell further on him. both of them froze, eyes wide add they started at one another in shock, all gasps and murmurs blending into white light.

after about a minute, jeongguk quickly sat up, his hands on taehyung's chest as he got off, looking around, wiping his lips with his sleeve. taehyung swore he felt his heart thumping against the ribcage, shocks running through his body. the same way his heart flipped for her.

no way! taehyung thought. fuck, it's not her. wake up, taehyung! you just met him!

"sorry!" jeongguk apologised, helping taehyung sit up straight as he took a few tissues from a nearby table and started wiping off the coffee from taehyung's cardigan.

"you're bleeding!" taehyung grabbed his wrist, and Jeongguk looked up at him, eyes wide as his cheeks turned crimson. blood dripped down his nose and onto taehyung's cardigan, since he was still pretty much leaning on him— knees pressed together and hands on his thighs while taehyung leaned back, supporting himself with his left arm. "are you okay? does it hurt?"

"n-no-" jeongguk put a tissue near his nose. a couple entered the shop and jeongguk heard his flight being announced.

"that's my flight, i need to go. i'm sorry!" he stood up, glancing at the spilled drinks and bowing deeply at the shocked workers before he rushed out the shop. taehyung exhaled through his mouth, gulping as he touched his lips. he did not just kiss a boy.

"sir, are you okay?" a worker walked up to him, crouching down beside him and handing him a few tissues.

"i'm okay. that's my flight too! i need to go! i'm really sorry." he apologised as he stood up and picked his parcel. he pulled out a few tissues and rushed out too, cheeks painted red in embarrassment.

the others saw him and waved at him, gesturing for him to hurry up. "what happened to your clothes?" seokjin gasped, grabbing the parcel and giving it away to namjoon as he inspected the youngest's clothes.

"someone accidentally spilled their drinks on me. let it go, let's go!" taehyung avoided their eyes and grabbed his bag, quickly rushing to the other side. the others shrugged at the odd behaviour and followed him inside, deciding to confront the youngest about it later.
