The cozy interior or music themed cafe was filled with the comforting aroma of slow-cooked sauces and herbs... After a while Jungkook came back with pasta carbonara, a classic Roman dish...
Hoseok and SeokJin looked at the dish with a smile before marveling at the creamy, golden sauce clinging to the perfectly al dente pasta... The combination of egg, pecorino cheese, pancetta, and black pepper created a harmonious symphony of flavors that made them close their eyes in sheer delight with each mouthful…
" Since we have a chance today... Why don't you sing me the song you sang the night I got drunk in my grandma's voice?" Seokjin winked while taking another bite of that delicious goodies "Because you are not drunk and I would rather enjoy this pasta than singing something in old lady's voice" Hoseok's words made Jungkook giggle... "If you want... I can sing for you guys" "Really? I would love to hear your voice" Seokjin replied with his voice filled with excitement…
Jungkook smiled and went to turn on the mic...
"너는 내 삶에 다시 뜬 햇빛 어린 시절 내 꿈들의 재림 모르겠어, 이 감정이 뭔지 혹시 여기도 꿈속인 건지 꿈은 사막의 푸른 신기루 내 안 깊은 곳에 a priori 숨이 막힐 듯이 행복해져 주변이 점점 더 투명해져 저기 멀리서 바다가 들려 꿈을 건너서 수풀 너머로 선명해지는 그곳으로 가 Take my hands now You are the 'cause of my euphoria Euphoria Take my hands now You are the 'cause of my euphoria Yeah-yeah, hey-yeah, yeah-yeah (ooh-ooh) Oh, yeah-yeah, hey-yeah, yeah-yeah Euphoria Yeah-yeah, hey-yeah, yeah-yeah Close the door now When I'm with you, I'm in utopia"
He kept singing in one of the most melodious voices both of them have ever heard….
Seokjin was soo lost into the melody that he didn't even notice when Hoseok stood right in front of him and bowed while pulling one hand out "can I have the honour?" That Seokjin chuckled and he immediately gave his hand to his partner before standing up... They both let their body move with the rhythm... Looking deep into each other's eyes... It's just so perfect Seokjin rested his head on Hoseok's shoulder while pressing their bodies together
Jungkook smiled at them while he continued singing... It's so obvious that they both like each other... Hopefully they will confess in future if not now...
As the night deepened, Hoseok and Jin bid their goodbyes to Jungkook and strolled along the shores of Lake Como, the twinkling lights of the surrounding villages reflecting on the water's surface... They found a gelato stand and treated themselves to a scoop of pistachio gelato, the creamy texture and nutty taste a fitting finale to their food escapade...
Italy had captured their hearts not only with its breathtaking scenery but also through its irresistible cuisine that celebrated tradition, simplicity, and the finest ingredients... With a contented sigh, Jin kept his head on Hoseok's shoulder as they were not sitting at the shore… "it's beautiful" Seokjin said closing his eyes hearing the peaceful sound of water waves... He loves it... He loves each and every single moment of this trip ,more than anything he loves being around with Hoseok... All the moments he spent exploring the food was precious but the moments he spent with the younger people in peace and harmony like how they are spending right now are just priceless "Not more than you" Hoseok stated... There is no denying that SeokJin is world wide handsome... His well-defined jawline, expressive eyes, a prominent nose, and a charming smile... SeokJin is the perfect combination of elegance and beauty…
Seokjin chuckled, "yeah I know I am too good for this world" he said, flipping his imaginary hair… Hoseok looked at SeokJin... Subconsciously bringing his hand up to caress the older's cheek... "For real"
"Huh" Seokjin confusingly looked at the younger face who was looking at him with an unreadable feeling in those deep brown orbs "You definitely are too good for this world, Kim SeokJin" his voice fell many octaves deep... Hoseok's eyes fell on those pink lips tempting him to kiss, abuse, and feel until his last breath…
Seokjin shivered at this sudden deep voice... 'Goshh it was literally a turn on for him... What if the younger one now pulls him in his lap and kisses the life out of him... Honestly he won't mind not even if the younger one just ripped his shirt and covered his entire body with hickeys... Ohh how good and pleasurable that wil- Fuck what are you even thinking' he cursed himself for having those unholy though..
As if Hoseok could read his mind he leaned more closer "may I?" He whispered in the most voice Seokjin had heard in ages, making the latter visibly gulp and gave out a slow nod before closing his eyes… Under the twinkling stars, their hearts were beating in tandem, the anticipation hanging in the air like a delicate whisper... Hoseok smiled and closed the remaining gap between them… Their lips met in a tender, hesitant kiss... Time seemed to stand still as their connection deepened, a soft sigh escaping Seokjin as he melted into the warmth of Hoseok touch... The world around them faded away, leaving only the sensation of their hearts entwining…

Next day, Hoseok and Jin again made their way to Jungkook's cafe as they wanted to capture the glory of 'Delphinium Cafe'... Jungkook was happy and very excited... The entire shoot was beautiful as Hoseok got the best shots... But once they walked into Jungkook's office, SeokJin's eyes grew wide…

"H-he" the older male was unable to form a sentence, so he just pointed the finger in the direction of a picture... Jungkook looked at the way SeokJin was pointing and a sad smile appeared on his face... "My Brother... Jeon Wonwoo... Left me alone 5 years ago…"
SeokJin was taken back... Wonwoo, the man he loved with everything, the same man who broke his heart years ago is no more... "W-what do y-you mean?" He knows, still doesn't want to believe the truth... "Umm he was diagnosed with leukaemia, the last stage... After a long battle of 1.5 years... He left" the younger's voice got heavy by the end of his sentence... It's not easy to accept, even if that has happened 5 years ago…
"Our parents divorced when we were young and my mom took my brother with her to Korea... Even if we grew up in two different cultures, we stayed connected... I knew he had a boyfriend but he never told me the saying... 'I will make you guys meet face to face'... But that never happened... At least, I got to spend time with him in his last days" and by now, Jungkook was already in tears…
Hoseok immediately wrapped his arms around the younger to console him "At least he is in a better place right" Jungkook nodded while sobbing a little... He softly wiped his tears that's when their eyes landed on the eldest among them who was still staring at the picture without even blinking... Before Hoseok could say anything... Seokjin ran away... He just ran and ran not knowing where he was going... His eyes were flooded with tears and heart with the guilt and mind with the sweet salty memories of his first boyfriend... With whom he dreamt of getting married adopting kids... for whom he could have given up on his own life... Who broke up with him saying he fell out of love with him... He can never forget that day... It was their sixth year anniversary of togetherness... Were Seokjin had prepared a great surprise for him but when he showed up he neither looked at the decoration nor at anything his Boyfriend prepared for him… He just stared straight into Seokjin's eyes 'i don't you anymore... I am sorry but... We are done' those were his last words before leaving Seokjin totally heartbroken... He tried everything from pleading to begging for another chance... But Wonwoo just felt him... All alone with a broken heart
