"Jiminie!! You're finally here!!"

Hoseok hyung's cheerful voice rang through the half full cafe, earning him some weird stares and a few glares but being the person he was, he could care less.

"Aish, don't shout like that or you'll scare the customers away!" Yoongi hyung scolded him, glaring at the younger who just grinned as a reply.

Laughing at the two love birds, I waved at them as I walked over to the counter where they were. Yoongi hyung just nodded and offered a small "hey" and Hobi jumped off from the counter to greet me with a hug, which I returned of course.

Letting go, I grinned widely and said, "it's been a while since we've seen each other, hyung!!" The past few months, Hobi had been at his grandparents' outside of the city since his grandmother was terribly ill and his grandfather needed help to take care of her.

"I know, Jiminie! Yah, I really missed being here with you guys!" He slung his arm around me and started telling stories as I saw Yoongi hyung watch us with amusement in his eyes yet no expressions was present on his face.

"Are you idiots really going to just stay here and chat or are you going to take him to that place, Hoseok?" Hobi's head snapped up immediately as if he remembered something.

"Ah, right! Jiminie, let's go to this restaurant that recently opened! I heard that the food is real good there!" I laughed, "sure, hyung. Wanna get going now and leave Yoongi hyung to work peacefully?"

"Yeah, let's go now! ...Though I need to use the restroom first," he didn't really finish his sentence as he bolted to the toilet.

Laughing, I took a few steps closer to the counter before sitting on top of it, to which the mint-haired cashier pay no mind to. "You feel happy seeing him, don't you hyung?" I smirked as I saw red dusting Yoongi hyung's cheek.

"Shut up, Jimin. I don't miss him," he replied coldly, but it was too obvious that he actually meant otherwise. Laughing it off, I patted his shoulder, "whatever you say, hyung~"

We were then greeted by silence as we watched the customers in the cafe doing their own things. Silence filled the small cafe aside from the small talks some customers were having. Yet it was a nice kind of silence, where it didn't feel awkward one bit but felt peaceful and relaxing.

See, this is one of the reasons why I enjoy hanging out with Yoongi hyung; he may not talk much but that's okay because his presence made me feel at ease for some unknown reasons.

He didn't seem to mind my presence and actually seemed like he's fond of it since he never really glared at me or show any signs of annoyance unless he was in a bad mood.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed just sitting with him although he didn't talk much. You can say that itt was some sort of achievement because Jin hyung said that he was rarely fond of other people's presence.

"So, how are things with trying to  forget about him?" And just like that, the mint haired hyung broke the peaceful silence, leaving me taken back.

I didn't really expect him to start any conversations so I was pretty dumbfounded when he asked me that. And also the fact that he asked about...

"..." I turned to look at him and just stared directly not sure what to say. His eyes met mine and they were determined to get an answer. I gulped slightly from his intense stare, not really daring to answer because the answer was clear that no thinking was required to answer it. That I still couldn't move on from him and I would end up getting "scolded" again by the person in front of me.

Just as I part my lips and was about to answer, the door bursted open and a brown haired male entered, panting like a mad man. I closed my mouth again and turned to away from Yoongi hyung to face the customer. Recognizing him, my face lit up instantly and I smiled greeting him, "hey, Tae. Welcome back."

Taehyung looked up and grinned, showing his unique box smile. "Sup, Jiminie."

Taehyung had been coming over to Bangtan cafe since nearly a year ago and his visits were quite frequent. We became friends immediately and the other hyungs seemed to be fond of him as well. Even Yoongi hyung doesn't really mind him around which was quite amazing.

"You here to take your order from last week?" I heard Yoongi hyung's voice behind me, making Tae grin wider as he nodded. "Of course, why else would I be here, hyung?"

"So you didn't come here to visit me after months of not seeing me? Wow, I'm so touched, Tae." I whipped my head around to see Hobi who had returned from the restroom with a pout on his face. I laughed at his childish behavior and I could feel Yoongi hyung rolling his eyes at him.

"Hoseok hyung, you're back!!!" Tae shouted. He ran over to him and immediately hugged him, nearly knocking Hobi in the process.

I chuckled seeing the two balls of sunshine chattering excitedly as I turned around to face Yoongi hyung again, who had somehow disappeared probably getting Tae's order.

Last week, he ordered a strawberry shortcake which was weird because Bangtan cafe wasn't a bakery. But somehow Jin hyung didn't mind saying that it'd be ready the following week. It was really weird considering hyung being very fond of Tae. Then again, it felt like everyone in this cafe had a soft spot for him.

"Taehyung get your order already, jeez. Didn't you say that it was urgent?" Yoongi hyung came back with the packed cake in his arms, placing it on the counter.

Tae and Hobi immediately stopped chatting and panicked was present in the former's face. "Shit! I forgot! I better get going then! Bye hyungs, bye Jiminie!" He practically bolted to the counter and grabbed the pack before leaving the cafe so quickly that it took a while for me (and Hoseok hyung too I guess) to process what just happened.

"Well shouldn't you two get going? The place will be fucking crowded soon, Hoseok."

"Right! Thanks for the reminder! Let's go, Chim Chim!" Hobi grinned at me and we walked out of the cafe. I exited the cafe first and turned around to face Hobi but there he was, still in the cafe, giving the hyung on the counter a small peck on the lips before he finally got out.

"Aish hyung, is that even necessary? Kids might be watching, you know~" I teased him as we started walking to the bus stop. He just laughed although it was obvious how embarrassed he was.

The bus came at the same time we arrived in the stop, and we immediately got in. Thankfully it wasn't as crowded as when it was before and we spotted a seat as soon as we entered. Sitting down, I closed my eyes to get some shut eye while Hobi took out his phone to probably text his boyfriend (again).

Before dozing off, I recalled I heard him say something, "it won't be too long of a ride, Chim. I'll wake you up when we're there."

And after that, the noises in the bus disappeared and all I remembered was seeing black.
