Taehyung loses everything when his father dies. His uncaring mother remarries, and all hell breaks down on Taehyung. His step-family hates him except his oldest step-brother. To make matters even worse, he finds out that his girlfriend is also cheat...
I walk out and see that Jungkook is waiting outside the store under a tree on the hot day of June. I feel bad for him.
"Hey," I call him as I run to him.
"Hi. Everything's finished?" He asks with the same brightness.
"Yeah. Let's go grab lunch. I know a nice restaurant there. It's small, but it's good."
"Quality above everything."
We walk side by side, exchanging a few words of conversation before we arrive at the restaurant. It's only five minutes away from the store where I work.
"Let's take that table." Once inside, Jungkook quickly suggests a table in the corner.
"Sure."
We sat down and picked up the menu that was on the table.
"What do you want, Jungkook? My treat," I look at him and smile.
He blushes. He blushes quiet often, and I wonder why. Does he blashes on a daily basis with anyone?
He looks down on the menu again. "I'd like paella."
"Okay. And I'll go with... bibimbap."
I called the waiter and gave him our orders. Then I get a call from Yoongi hyung, so I pick it up.
"Hey, hyung," I greet him while still sitting on my chair while Jungkook looks outside the window.
"Hey. Taehyung, where are you?"
"I'm having lunch in a restaurant with Jungkook."
"Jimin's friend?"
"Yes, him."
"Good. I came back an hour ago and thought to have lunch together. That's why I called you."
"Oh, I didn't know that—"
"Of course you didn't know that. I just told you," he chuckles. "But don't worry. I'll see Jimin now. You two enjoy."
"Bye, hyung."
"Bye."
I press the red button to end the call and place it on the table. Our orders also arrive at the same time. The waiter serves us and tells us to enjoy our meal before going back to work.
"So why did Yoongi hyung call you?" He asks after taking a bite.
"He was with his family yesterday and just returned a few hours ago. He asked if I was available for lunch," I answer after swallowing my food.
"Oh, I ruined your plans?" He asks innocently.
"No, Kook. He just asked me if I was available now, but we decided to have lunch an hour ago," I laugh a little and respond. He's too innocent for his own well-being.
"Kook?" He mumbles lowly. I realize that I just called him that.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to say it—"
"You can call me that, Taehyung-ssi. I like it," he expresses his desire.
"Then, can you drop this 'Taehyung-ssi', and call me Taehyung only."
"Fine." Then he looks down at his food, but I notice a smile lingering in his lips.
My phone vibrates. I keep eating while looking at the email I received. It's about some apartments that are currently available. I keep looking at all of the apartments to find the best suitable for me. Some are very far from the Yoongi hyung's house, and some are expensive.
I pick five apartments out of them, which I want to visit at least once to see how things go.
"Jungkook," I call him.
"Yes."
"Are you busy?"
"I need to return to my sister's office."
"Oh, never mind then."
"What's the matter?"
"I received email for apartments, and I wanted to look at them to find which one is better. I just wanted some company—"
"I will come." He abruptly cuts me off. I'm taken back. He just said that he's busy.
"But you said—"
"I was going there because I have nothing better to do. But you know, that office is very boring, so I'd rather spend my time with you."
He gives me his saccharine smile, and I notice for the first time that his two front teeth resemble a rabbit's teeth. I return his smile.
After about twenty minutes, I pay for the meals, and we go out to the five apartments I've selected.
We see all five of them today, and each of them have taken approximately 30 to 1 hour to explore entirely and also to talk to the landlord. Out of the five, three is perfect for my budget, but now I'm confused. I don't know which one would be best for me, and I don't want to make a choice for which I'll regret it later. Whenever I made decisions on my own, there was something that went down, so I wanted to be wise now.
"Taehyung, have you selected one?" Jungkook asks while eating his ice cream. It's already nighttime, and I'm more than grateful that he came to me to visit all of the apartments.
"Not really. I'll go home and contemplate a little more, and maybe I'll ask Yoongi hyung for advice."
"That's good. Anyway, do you want a bite?" He bought the ice creams for us; he bought pistachio for me and chocolate for himself.
I lean down a little to take a bite. It's delicious. Then, I extend my hand a little and motion him to take bite, and he does. The street light is not too bright, but I think Jungkook is blushing again. I may be wrong, though.
