Second Chance At Love

Chapter 17

"That will be five thousand won. You can collect your order in five minutes. Thank you! Enjoy your day!" 

With that, Jimin sent off another customer satisfied. It was almost time for him to leave. 

He was meeting with his friends after many days for dinner as, finally, they were all able to make time in their schedules. 

Jungkook, being a game designer, was busy with a new game release, Yoongi, who was a producer in a prestigious entertainment agency, had just finished music for a boy band and Hoseok, too, had just wrapped up a dance showcase at his dance studio successfully. 

Jimin, too, was busy. He didn't have anything big going on like the other three, but the cafe and Kim Taehyung were enough to spend all his time on. 

Normally, he would have felt guilty for not spending time with his friends, but since he knew others were a lot busier than himself, it brought him some relief. 

Also, he knew his friends would never resent him for spending time with Taehyung as it was everything they had wanted for him for the past two years. 

So yes, as soon as they saw an opportunity, they took it. His friends were just worried that they might disrupt Taehyung and his private time, but Jimin screaming at them every kind of curse word he knew for spitting such nonsense was a good assurance. 

Also, these days Taehyung has been quite busy. He had hardly seen Taehyung or heard from him. His texts became scarce too, so Jimin was quite worried but he consoled himself that everything was fine. 

Again, with these thoughts in his mind, Jimin winded up his work, gave some final instructions to his employees and left the cafe to meet his friends.

"JIMIN-AH!!" Hoseok screamed as soon as he opened the door. He took Jimin into a giant hug that Jimin couldn't help but reciprocate. 

He could feel his Hyung's love and longing in that hug. Soon he felt two more arms around himself, and a drawn out, "Hyuuunnnggg!" 

Realising it was his adorable dongsaeng, Jimin let out a giggle and turned around in Hoseok's arms to hug Jungkook. 

Those three were still hugging and giggling around when they heard Yoongi's annoyed voice. 

"If you three are done with whatever this is, can we eat then? I'm hungry!" 

"Oh shut up Hyung! We know you want hugs! Just come here!" Hoseok exclaimed and the two younger ones laughed. 

They all knew Yoongi's love for physical touch and affection but aversion towards voicing it out. 

They watched as Yoongi dramatically said "Fine" and trotted towards them. He was immediately pulled into a hug, with his face squished in Hoseok's chest, who could feel his boyfriend's gummy smile. Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook latched themselves to their hyung's sides. 

They were a small, happy family among themselves. 

After all the greetings and lovely drama, the four friends sat scattered around the living room, drinking beer and relishing the snacks prepared by Yoongi. 

They kept joking around, making fun of each other. Jimin and Yoongi bickering like always, Jungkook annoying the hell out of Hoseok and then him chasing Jungkook around the house...yeah...it was a normal evening for them. It's like the time they couldn't meet each other never happened.

Jimin put on a light jacket to protect himself from the slightly cold wind before leaving for the cafe. The weather was turning cold now and Jimin couldn't wait for winter to finally come.
