It was one hell of a fiscal year for Jungkook and his small tea brewing company. All those fruits of his years of hard work came to labour and Jungkook received a plethora of profit.

Which lead him to Europe. The place he always wanted to visit.

His journey started in Spain and then he explored Southern Italy. Now, he is standing on one of the busy roads in Rome, trying to navigate his next direction. The chilly wind of winter was harsh on his skin and he was still missing the morning dose of his tea.

Soon, he found a local cafe and decided to pay a visit. As soon as he entered the cafe through the glass door, a head turned his side.

The cafe was empty and small bells on the door were creating the sweet music when Jungkook landed his eyes on the man.

The man was Euphoric.

Normally, the ever-so-shy Jungkook wouldn't go to a complete stranger and would sit at the same table as him.

But, the vacation Jungkook knew that he won't ever get a chance like this.

Maybe he won't ever see a man as handsome as this.

So, he chanted "Fuck it" in his mind
and went to the stranger who was now busy writing something in his diary.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" Jungkook spoke in his unpolished English with a thick Korean accent and the man looked at him with his huge eyes and thick lashes.

"Korean?" His voice was so deep that Jungkook was sure it would lead him to do something that required him on his knees.

"Yes, you too?" Jungkook sat on the opposite chair and the man nodded.

Great. At least now he won't have to speak English anymore.

Jungkook ordered black tea for himself and the man was still busy writing something in his diary. He didn't want to spy but the huge ass D-7 on top of the page caught his attention.

"D as in destination?" Jungkook thought.

He was never the one to maintain a journal.
Jungkook thought about asking the stranger about the diary, but wouldn't it be too personal? Yeah, he can't let that beautiful man think that he's being too much.

Outside the cafe, Jungkook could see many tourists like himself.

"Are you here on vacation?" He asked the man.
The man looked at him and paused for a second before nodding.

What does Jungkook have to do to hear that deep voice again?

"I was thinking about going to the Vatican City today, have you been there yet?" Jungkook was praying that the stranger would say something now.

The pretty man with ruffled hair stopped writing and chuckled, "No, I wouldn't go to that place."

Jungkook furrowed his brows, "Why?"

"Cause it goes against me."

Jungkook took a sip of the black tea, "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm gay"

"Okay, kook, you don't need to panic and you don't need to celebrate either. " Jungkook was hoping that the handsome and apparently gay man wouldn't hear how loud his heart was thumping.

"Dude, are you homophobic?"

"No...no. I'm gay as well."

The stranger smiled, Jungkook has never seen a smile as pretty as this.

"Kim Taehyung." The man raised his coffee mug.

Jungkook too raised his cup of tea but the excitement was too much that he fumbled, "Jeo...Jungkook Jeon."
