Chapter 12: A whiff of Mistake

Author pov:

“M

istakes are unchecked if they're left unpinned.”

Mistakes can be done by anyone , from adults to kids and from elders to teens. Nobody can prevent it from happening , after all we all are humans. Isn't it?

But redemption is the key which we have in our own hands. Which might make the difference between us humans , which might differ us from the one who doesn't care and from the one who cares a lot.

And Jungkook cares a lot. He has already realised his mistake , he was even ready to apologise to Taehyung for his mistake but the said boy never showed up after that day.

It was already the pickup day of his order and the man was nowhere to be seen. Jungkook who hadn't seen the boy in two days was feeling guilty of his actions but what's there to cry over the already spilled milk now.

All he could do is , wipe it off and repent himself. That's why , here he was , sitting behind the counter with his finger tapping on the wood in an annoying rhythm as he waited patiently for the boy to show up.

His eyes strayed towards the clock from time to time as Jin slapped his hand away frustratingly to stop him from making a noise. Yeonjun and Soobin were carefully wrapping the orders and making sure that everything was on point and that's when they heard the familiar chim of the bell.

"Hey Pinky. Is the order ready?" Taehyung greeted jin who nodded his head and went towards the room where Yeonjun and Soobin were working. Taehyung's eyes for a moment fell over the figure sitting beside jin but he was quick to avert his gaze and ignore it as if there was no one.

Jungkook for some reason felt his heart getting dull when he didn't hear a familiar greeting from the boy standing in front of him. He saw how taehyung didn't even look at him for more than a quarter of a second. Mustering up the courage he raised himself from his seat but was interrupted by Soobin who came and stood between him and taehyung , blocking the sight of the silver haired guy.

"Hyung , where shall we put all these?" Soobin questioned , his hands filled with bags as taehyung saw how the boy was struggling to hold all of them in place as they were stacked one over another.

"There's a cab waiting , put them there and leave to the mentioned location okay. I'll join you in a bit." Taehyung answered Soobin as he helped the boy settle inside the car. The one-fourth of the order was already settled in the cab which Soobin was accompanying and the other one-fourth was handled by Yeonjun in the other cab while the rest was still left.

"Fine , I'll come by the evening and take the rest of them , they are supposed to deliver somewhere else. I'll be leaving now. Thank you hyung for helping me." Taehyung bowed 90 degree to jin who shook his head and patted his back after overcoming the shock which the silver haired boy just gave him.

"Don't call me hyung. It doesn't suit your mouth and the thing I did was my job , nothing else. Now go,  you're getting late. Yeonjun and Soobin will worry if you won't reach there on time." And just like that taehyung was out of the cafe after giving a small hug to jin. While Jungkook stood there rooted on the ground where he stood before.

Jin who saw the reaction of the boy just realised that taehyung didn't spare a single glance at the blonde guy even for once for all the time he was here. Feeling bad for his friend he walked up to the boy and patted his back comfortingly which didn't help Jungkook at all.
