twenty two.

Nervousness would be an understatement to describe the fear and unsettling feeling that engulfed Jungkook. He was only a few minutes away from meeting his internet crush face-to-face, only a few minutes away from getting embarrassed or having a somewhat decent conversation with a pink haired boy named Taehyung.

Jungkook looked down at the faded white mug in his hand, his eyes glued to the steamy beverage inside of it. Even though he chose a lemonade café for their meeting spot, he didn't drink lemonade often. He would either have a cup of some pineapple juice or hot tea - which is what he was having right then.

The brunette subconsciously began tapping his finger against the glass mug as he hummed the lyrics to a song that was stuck in his head. People were giving him weird looks, a group of older women just smiling at the boy.

"You're disturbing our customers," a girl with short red hair said softly, breaking the brunette from his thoughts. He looked up at the girl before muttering a small apology and focusing his attention outside the café window instead of inside.

Jungkook was already embarrassed because of himself, his mind could only travel to how embarrassed he would be if Taehyung did something to purposely draw attention to the brunette. He didn't want to think negatively of the pinkette like that, but his mind wanted him to think otherwise. It wanted him to think of the cons instead of the pros.

"Hey, are you alright? You seem out of it," the waitress asked. Jungkook returned his gaze to the girl and gave her a short nod of the head. That wasn't enough to convince the girl, though. So she sat in the seat across from the brunette and focused her full attention on him. "Tell me what's up, I've been told I'm good with giving advice - love advice especially."

The brunette's lips curved upwards slightly. The girl sitting in front of him reminded him of Kaesi because of how she helped him last night with his nervousness. Well, tried to help at least.

"I'm meeting my internet friend here for the first time face-to-face and I'm extremely nervous about it," he looked down at the mug in front of him again, a soft sigh heaving past his lips.

"Really? My friend is meeting his internet friend for the first time today too! What a coincidence," the girl laughed aloud, earning a few looks from the people around her. She paid no attention to them, though.

"That's cool," Jungkook looked at the girl's name tag, only to have his eyes widen at the name. "Kaesi? Your name is Kaesi?"

Kaesi nodded her head, slightly confused by the boy's sudden outburst.

"Your friend's name wouldn't happen to be-"

"Kaesi~!" A high-pitch voice yelled, cutting off the brunette from his words. He looked up to see a boy with black hair running at the redhead full speed and clinging to her in a bear hug as soon as he approached her - even though she was sitting down.

"Hoe, leave me alone. This boy was just about to ask me a question before you screamed your way into our conversation."

Kaesi shoved the ravenette off of her before giving him a light hit on the head for interrupting their conversation. He pouted before turning his attention to the brunette, whom was awkwardly looking at the two. The boy looked familiar, very familiar, but he couldn't exactly put his finger on the reason why or who the kid could be familiar to.

"As you were saying," the redhead gestured for the brunette to continue on speaking but before he had a chance to say anything, an older male walked up to the table and gave a strong glare to the redhead across from Jungkook. "Oh yeah it's still my shift, oops?"

The older male rolled his eyes and walked away, the redhead getting out of her seat and going back to whatever duties she had while working at the café. All that was left was Jungkook and the ravenette sitting across from him.

"So, what's your name?" The ravenette offered Jungkook a kind smile, which he was hesitant to return but returned it anyway.

"My name is Jung-"

"Jungkook!"

The brunette widened his eyes again, his focus falling onto a certain pink haired boy who just walked into the café. He almost forgot to breathe as he stared at the older, his eyes still wide as his stomach began churning in knots.

"T-Taehyung?"
