Love is half

5

The newly bloomed merry gold looks gorgeous with the morning sun. The middle is deep shade of red, almost looks like someone has dropped few blood on the top, fading as the orange and yellow shade slowly joins and the red starts to fade way.

What a beautiful way to wake up, Jungkook thinks.

As much as he would love to watch his merry gold blooming and dying in his balcony with other winter plants he got from the nursery, he has a job to go to and feed the customers. As the owner of his store once said, customers first, your main priority. So he ditches his sleep and takes the subway, and soon, his store is in front of his eyes.

It's too early. The sun haven't fully risen yet, the sky looks like it still wants to be dark, asleep and late. The street is empty, Yoongi, Jimin and Melisa, one of the new worker who has been working pretty well, catching up with the experts, they have made sure to throw all the trash away for the closing and the store looks neat and organized. So he doesn't worry too much when he grabs the key from the pocket and opens the gate. Turns the switches on so the "OPEN!" led light on the door is now lit up.

Few cars passing by. People going on their destination, starting a new day, a new life, a new everything. Jungkook breaths in the morning air. Soon the customers will appear and he would have to greet everyone with the brightest Good Morning! he could manage to do, because he believes his customers deserves to start their day with a friendly cashier. Someone who actually cares about what kind of meat, what kind of sugar, decaf or regular coffee, whatever they wants to eat and drinks.

Slick black. Under the tree. A fucking Mercedes Benz, rests on the parking lot. The car looks too familiar, almost as if he saw it last night, was offered to get a ride on it. But million of people owns Mercedes, there is no way Taehyung would be here at this time, in front of his store, waiting to ruin his day. Jungkook blames on his overthinking and goes to his office.

Jungkook shakes his head and starts the day. He brews the coffee, burning hot and darkish maroon black, spills inside the pot, closing his eyes when the fogginess surrounds him, the smell of coffee, a new day indeed.  He wonders how the kid from two days ago is doing, the little girl mentioned she wants to eat avocado sandwich next time she comes, it's been two days, she hasn't been here.

He sighs, wears gloves, prepares eggs after spraying some vanilla lavender air freshener in the air.

A smile is present on his lips when a ping goes of, alerting him a customer has arrived, his first customer of today.

Droopy eyes, messiest blondest hair he has ever seen, specs up to his head pushing the hair back, a very tiny bit of dried drool clinging on corner of his lips. It's been half a fucking hour, and Jungkook's day is already ruined. Because, of course.

It's Taehyung. Half asleep. Standing in front of the register. So the car was his. Of fucking course.

"Jesus Christ." Jungkook's shoulder drops, he lets out an exaggerated sigh, annoyed, clearly startled. Taehyung smiles, eyes disappearing and nose scrunched as if he knows what exactly Jungkook is about to say. What is wrong with you! You stalker! Leave me alone! 

"Well, Good morning to you too" Taehyung greets him, Jungkook shakes his head and looks away, pretends that Taehyung isn't just standing in front of him, and goes back to preparing some eggs, hash browns for the customers later.
