Taehyung nervously fiddled with his tie as he waited for his date to arrive. He had been set up by a friend and was excited to finally meet someone new. But as the minutes ticked by, Taehyung began to worry. Had his date stood him up?

Just as he was about to give up hope, a stunning woman approached him. "Taehyung?" she asked, and he nodded, relieved. But as they sat down to order, it quickly became clear that they had nothing in common. Taehyung tried to make conversation, but his date seemed more interested in her phone than in him.

Feeling dejected, Taehyung excused himself to go to the bathroom. As he walked through the crowded restaurant, he accidentally bumped into a waiter carrying a tray of drinks. The glasses went flying, and Taehyung braced himself for the angry outburst he was sure was coming.

But instead, the waiter simply smiled and apologized. "No harm done," he said, and began cleaning up the mess. Taehyung couldn't help but stare at him - he was tall, with dark hair and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through him.

As Taehyung made his way back to his table, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had just met someone special. But as the night wore on and his date continued to ignore him, he began to doubt himself. Maybe he was just imagining things.

It wasn't until the end of the evening, when his date abruptly left without a word, that Taehyung realized he had been right all along. His heart sank as he watched her walk out the door, and he was just about to do the same when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey," the waiter said, looking at him with concern. "Are you okay?"

Taehyung shook his head, feeling a sudden surge of emotion. "No," he said, and before he could stop himself, he blurted out everything - the terrible date, the way he had felt when he met the waiter, the sense that something was missing in his life.

To his surprise, the waiter listened attentively, nodding along as if he understood exactly what Taehyung was going through. "I know how that feels," he said softly. "But sometimes, when things don't work out, it's because something better is waiting for us."

Taehyung looked up, meeting the waiter's gaze for the first time. In that moment, he realized that he wasn't imagining things - he really was attracted to this man. But as he opened his mouth to speak, the waiter's phone rang.

"I'm sorry," he said, glancing at the screen. "I have to take this. But listen - I know we just met, but I feel like we have a connection. Would you be interested in seeing each other again?"

Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. "Yes," he said, without hesitation. "I would like that very much."

And as the waiter walked away, Taehyung knew without a doubt that this was destiny. Whether it turned out to be a fling or something more, he was willing to take the risk. Because sometimes, the best things in life are the ones that come out of nowhere - the ones that meet-cute us when we least expect it.

nned the next day after they exchanged numbers, Taehyung couldn't stop thinking about Jungkook, the waiter. He felt a flutter in his chest every time he thought about their encounter, and he knew he had to see him again as soon as possible.

He decided to text Jungkook, hoping he would be interested in a second date. To his delight, Jungkook responded almost immediately, suggesting they meet up for coffee that afternoon.

As they sat across from each other at a cozy cafe, Taehyung felt his nerves start to settle. He and Jungkook talked easily, laughing and sharing stories about their lives. Taehyung was struck by how easy it was to be around Jungkook, and he knew then that this was more than just a fling.

They continued to see each other over the next few weeks, going on dates and exploring the city together. Taehyung felt like he was living in a dream - he had never felt so connected to someone before. And as they grew closer, he knew he had to tell Jungkook how he really felt.

One night, as they walked hand in hand through a park, Taehyung took a deep breath and turned to Jungkook. "I know we haven't known each other for very long," he said, "but I feel like I've known you forever. I don't want this to be just a fling, Jungkook. I want something more with you."

Jungkook's eyes widened, and for a moment, Taehyung feared he had said the wrong thing. But then Jungkook smiled, and Taehyung felt his heart soar. "I feel the same way," Jungkook said, and they kissed under the stars.

From that moment on, Taehyung knew that he had found his soulmate in Jungkook. They continued to date, falling more deeply in love with each passing day. And as they stood together on a mountaintop, watching the sun rise over the horizon, Taehyung knew that this was destiny - and that he wouldn't want it any other way.
