"Where do you want to go to eat?" Jungkook asked as he looked around at all the cafes.
"How about this one? This looks nice and quiet too" Taehyung pointed at one.
"Sure let's go" Jungkook nodded, taking Taehyung's hand and walked in."Hi, welcome to rose cafe, how can I help you?" The waitress smiled at the pair.
"Can we get a table for two please?" Jungkook asked politely, squeezing the elders hand which was resting behind his back.
"Of course, our breakfast specials board is to the left of you, if you want to look at that and take a photo saves you from standing and deciding. This will be your seat today. Can I start you off with any drinks?""I'll have a caramel latte please"
"And I'll take a black coffee" Taehyung asked as he sat down comfortably.
"Cool, I'll grab that for you both while you get comfortable" She smiled walking off.
"So...." Jungkook hummed.
"So.." Taehyung repeated looking at the younger's softly."Have you lived in Seoul your whole life? You've got a bit of an accent?" Taehyung asked looking at the boy intensely.
"No I moved from Busan. I lived there for my whole childhood then I moved alone to Seoul"
"Any specific reason for moving, if I remember correctly Busan is a nice place"
"Just some issues, and there's a few things which I want to keep in Busan and leave in Busan" Jungkook shrugged.Taehyung nodded his head, not wanting to push the boy sat in front of him.
"So what was baby Taehyung like?" Jungkook smiled, just the thought of little Taehyung.
"Baby Taehyung? He was like any other child, loud but quiet, confident but shy, dependent but independent. I don't remember much of my childhood honestly, but if I had one wish I would want to go back to it. I want the feeling of being young and innocent and just so carefree. Sorry that's probably doesn't make much sense""Age is a funny thing, we grow up wanting to be older and want to act more mature. We crave the feeing of being important and having our own direction in life. But once we hit the age where we are mature and we are the ones in charge of our own lives, that's when we start to panic and we look to hold onto something or someone and take us back to when we were young and innocent" Jungkook finished with a huff, until he realised that he waffled.
He cupped his hands over his mouth and looked at the elder in embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry, I waffled, I have a tendency to do that"
"Artistic" Taehyung mumbled out.
"Pardon?"
"Artistic, the way you speak, your words, artistic" Taehyung mumbled looking at him softly.Jungkook turned a bright shade of red, as a blush filled his cheeks.
"It's amazing, you shouldn't be shy about it baby, it's talent"
Jungkook gushed even more at the nickname, he loved how it rang, he loved the way it made his heart skip a few beats too."Hi guys, here are your drinks" the waiter spoke cheerfully. "Can I get you anything to eat?"
"I'll have the scrambled egg on toast please" Jungkook smiled.
"I'll take the strawberry pancakes please" Taehyung added.
"Lovely I'll get them to you soon""Strawberry pancakes? Interesting taste for a man who lives off pot noodles" Jungkook teased.
"Well I'm a man of many surprises, what can I say" Tae shrugged.
Jungkook giggled and looked at the elders hands which expressed that he was nervous. His hands picked at his fingers in a nervous habit. Something was wrong.Jungkook moved his drink out of the way and shyly pulled up the courage to take his hands into his own.
"You okay?" Jungkook asked, rubbing his thumbs over the back of his hands.
Taehyung's eyes were fixed on the hands. He wasn't feeling well, his body was craving a relief of some sort but he couldn't.
"Y-yeah" Taehyung squeezed the boys hands softly."Tae, let's finish our drinks and go. We can take the food home as a take way"
"N-no, I don't want the date to end, please" Taehyung begged, shaking his head.
"Tae" Jungkook moved a hand to touch the elders cheek tenderly and caressed it.
"Please" Taehyung shut his eyes and held the boys hand."Okay fine, but if you want to leave don't hesitate to tell me okay. The date won't be over even if we do have to go back to one of our apartments"
"Thank you, anyway what was little Jungkookie like as a child?" Taehyung questioned trying to change the topic from the blip that he had just had."Hm baby Koo was soft I guess, he was quiet and kept to himself, also very independent. Just a very innocent child, and like you, I wish I could have just held onto that innocence just a little more longer, but let's not dwell on something that can't be changed"
Taehyung nodded with a smile.
"I wish I could have met baby koo, he sounds sweet" Taehyung smiled, "plus who said your innocence has gone away? Deep down, hidden away is baby koo wanting to come out""Here you go guys, here's your food. Can I get you any sauces? Maybe ketchup with your eggs?"
"No I'm okay thank you"
The two began eating Jungkook noticed how Taehyung has a soft smile in delight.
"I'm assuming they are good" Jungkook titled his head.
"So so good, I always forget how good home cooked food is" Tae awkwardly laughed."How about we go food shopping, then I'll teach you how to cook, at least some sort of decent food?"
"Wait really?"
"Yeah sure, then at least I know you are actually feeding yourself a good meal"The two finished chatting and payed for their food and drinks. They left the cafe and walked to the supermarket.
"Is there anything you don't like to eat?" Jungkook asked as he grabbed one of the shopping carts.
"I don't particularly like spicy food, but that's really it"
"Okay good, let's get shopping then"Once the car was full with fresh vegetables, a few frozen things, meat, fish, noodles, rice, pasta, bread, and some other treats. They went to the check out and paid. Taehyung walked out carrying all the bags as he didn't want the younger to carry any.
"Tae please, let me carry some" Jungkook pouted.
"No it's alright, I can do it"
"How am I supposed to hold my dates hand if they are full of bags?" Jungkook questioned.
Taehyung's eyes widened seeing how forward the boy is."Fine, only because you won't stop whining" Taehyung threw a wink and gave half of the bags to Jungkook.
He took hold of the boys hand and squeezed his hand. Jungkook blushed and tilted his head onto the elders arm as they walked in their own little world.What was this? The feeling that someone is actually willing to hold his hand and finds comfort from him. Taehyung was confused. None of it made sense to him. He hasn't had any sort of relationship with anyone in a very long time, so how come all of a sudden someone is wanting to grow an relationship with him. Hopefully he figured it out soon, because it was only a matter of time where it could all crumble between his finger tips.
