Begin Again {Yoonseok}

••

It's the middle of the week when Yoongi walks into the café. He's been going to the same one for a few months and it's now a comforting and relaxing place for him. Safe from the bustling busy streets of Seoul. It helps him to de-stress.

The café smells like rich coffee and the sweets baking in the back room, per usual. It feels warm, too.

As the bell chimes, he sees three other people sitting at a table in the corner. Regulars; like him. The one with the eye smile and the bunny-toothed one are laughing quietly at something the one with the rectangular grin had said, and it warms Yoongi's heart to see something so sweet.

He walks up to the counter and shares a brief smile with Seokjin, who is quick to take his order.

"What would you like today?" He asks.

"Just the same as usual."

He stands off to the side and watches Seokjin make the drink. Yoongi knows that he must be a great cook since he bakes all the delicious looking treats in the display windows behind the counter.

After Seokjin finishes making his drink, and hands it to Yoongi, a male comes out of the back room to distract him.

Yoongi sighs and moves to sit at his table by the window.

At their spot is Hoseok, waiting for him. He takes the seat across from him and sets his drink down. Hoseok smiles warmly at him and after Yoongi settles down, doesn't waste a moment before words spill through his lips.

Yoongi watches him talk. His cheeks raise in excitement and joy, and it makes Yoongi want to share the emotions with him. He wants to share with him.

When Hoseok extends his arm to hand Yoongi his drink, he gently grabs it out of his hands and takes a sip.

Yoongi always loves the taste of Hoseok's drinks. They're always too sweet, but he savors the flavor every time.

As he hands the cup back and Hoseok continues to chatter, a loud laugh catches his attention.

It comes from Seokjin who is laughing at the other worker, Namjoon. Namjoon has eternally been clumsy, and Seokjin always seemed to find it endearing. He watches as Seokjin helps Namjoon pick up the stuff he knocked over behind the counter, and he bumps his hip into him. Namjoon smiles sweetly back at him, blowing a kiss.

Yoongi's lips twitch in a half-smile at them and he returns to listening to Hoseok.

He is grinning again and he looks ethereal like this. With the light hitting his face from the window beside him and the steam from his cup warming his face. Hoseok looks so happy just sitting there in a cafe with him. Wasting the time with which they both probably had more productive things to be doing.

But Hoseok looks so nice and is so perfect-

"I love you, Seok."

Hoseok doesn't even care that he wasn't listening and immediately he gives him the biggest smile yet.

"I love you too, Yoon."
