Third person's POV

Taehyung flashed a mischievous grin as he looked at Jungkook, "So, what brings you to my secret lair?"

Jungkook shrugged nonchalantly, "Boredom, I guess. Your mom casually mentioned you were loitering around here."

Taehyung chuckled, "Loitering is my specialty. Well, since you're here, how about we turn this aimless boredom into an adventure?"

Jungkook's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, "Sure, sounds great! What kind of adventure are we talking about?"

Taehyung pondered for a moment, "Let's keep it spontaneous. No plans, no destination. We'll go wherever the wind takes us."

Jungkook nodded in agreement, "Sounds like a plan. Lead the way, Captain!"

They both headed upstairs to get ready and soon they were back in the living room, donned in comfortable yet stylish casual attire. Taehyung grabbed the car keys, and they found themselves sitting in the car, ready to embark on their impromptu escapade.

As they continued their drive through the city, Taehyung found himself thoroughly enjoying the conversation with Jungkook. Their discussions ranged from favourite movies to childhood memories, creating an effortless connection between them. The vibrant city lights framed the background as they navigated through lively streets, sharing laughter and stories.

Jungkook's eyes widened with excitement as they approached a familiar street. He couldn't contain his enthusiasm, pointing out the cafe he held dear to his heart. "Taehyung, there's a cafe right there! It's not just any cafe; it's a book cafe—a perfect blend of literature and coffee. Can we please stop there? I used to spend countless hours there, and I've missed it so much!"

Taehyung, intrigued by Jungkook's genuine excitement, couldn't help but feel a warmth in his chest. He nodded with a playful grin. "Lead the way, Jungkook. I'm up for a literary adventure."

They parked the car, and Taehyung, ever the gentleman, walked around to Jungkook's side and opened the door for him. The soft city lights reflected in Jungkook's eyes, and a subtle blush adorned his cheeks. He stepped out with a shy smile, appreciating the small yet thoughtful gesture.

As they entered, the cosy ambience of the cafe enveloped them, welcoming them with the comforting aroma of freshly ground coffee beans. Taehyung, always attentive, held the door for Jungkook once more as they entered. The warm atmosphere seemed to intensify Jungkook's blush, a subtle acknowledgement of the charming courtesy.

Jungkook led Taehyung to a hidden cosy corner at the back end of the cafe where a very comfortable couch was placed. Jungkook took a seat, and Taehyung sat down just next to him, perhaps a bit too close, according to Jungkook. A bright blush adorned his cheeks as he smiled shyly. After a few seconds, a girl of their age approached them.

Surprised, she exclaimed, "Jungkook! It's amazing to see you again! You are here after so long!"

Jungkook greeted her with a warm smile, "Hey Ji-eun! How are you?"

The waitress replied, "I'm good... but what about you? And who is this handsome man? Where is BamBam?"

Jungkook looked down and answered, stuttering a bit, "Ummm... we broke up."

Taehyung frowned. Jungkook had a boyfriend? Did he break up with him because of the marriage? Was Taehyung stopping Jungkook from his happiness? A flood of insecurities started flooding his mind, but he looked up when Ji-eun asked.

The waitress replied sympathetically, "I'm sorry to hear that... anyways, who is this handsome guy?"

Jungkook replied shyly, "He is my husband, Kim Taehyung."
