„Taehyung-ah! Finally! I need help!" SeokJin almost shouts at Taehyung who just arrived at the café. Taehyung looks around seeing full café and SeokJin being the only one waiter.
„Shoot, where is Ken?" Taehyung asks and quickly puts on one of the aprons that hang on cabinet.
„He's late as always.." Jin informs him and gives him an order written on small paper
„I'll be sure to fire him.." Taehyung curses.
„You always say that Tae" The other giggles. The brunette glares at him and gets to preparing the order that Jin gave him.

„Anyway, how's Namjoon doing? You two are good?" Taehyung asks when the café get calmer and you can hear the cozy music playing in the back round and not gossiping people. Ken texted him that he's not feeling well, so Taehyung work instead of him.
„We're good, Namjoon's having troubles at work with his new boss, she's strict and she doesn't let him even breath.. grr.." Jin growls in annoyance.
„He will manage." The brunette says and takes out a laptop to work at his office in the back.

Taehyung is hardworking manager, he actually likes this job even better than working as an assistant for Jeon. He takes after the Café well and even Mrs. Jeon praises him that she gave it into the right hands since the café is getting more and more popular each day.
Mrs.Jeon visit him from time to time. Simply just because she own all the cafés and because she can rant about her son. How careless and hasty he is with small tasks, almost like he doesn't really care. It's always hard for Taehyung to listen to all of that, he just can't tell her that he doesn't want to hear about him since she perhaps doesn't even know that something happened between them.

Taehyung is glad that even Seokjin doesn't say anything to his friends, because Jungkook keeps on going to the nights out with others. He promised he won't talk about him, not even a little and won't even ask. They have a deal that if he ever shows up at the café Jin would let Taehyung know, so they wouldn't bump into each other. Taehyung just has to be very careful. Other thing is that the one person who's Taehyung the most grateful to, is Mrs. Jeon, because she doesn't take her son to the café with her. Maybe Taehyung just exaggerates the whole situation, but he just can't help it, he wants to be careful, he doesn't want to see him, not really. He still has feelings for him.

It's almost 6 pm, meaning 2 hours before closing, and there are only few people in the Café enjoying their drinks and small chatts. It's that time when Taehyung enjoys the café the most. He just leans to the counter, while looking around, and listens to the music playing from the radio. He chats with Jin too, they laugh a lot. Seokjin is almost like the only friend he has now. Taehyung himself wonders sometime why he cut off all his other friends, he didn't have to, but he did. He just might be scared.

The doorbell rings signalizing that someone entered the café and right before Taehyung greets him, he just went down under the counter hiding himself. "Oh shit."
„Hey, Jungkook!" SeokJin greets him, while pointing at Taehyung to run to the office in the back quickly and he does.
Taehyung can hear them chat and Jungkook ordering himself a coffee. His heart beats so fast. He's not ready to face him and there's not back door Taehyung could sneak out through. He's trapped. He has to wait until Jungkook leaves and Taehyung really hopes it will be very soon, but bad luck is with him today and Jungkook stays until the closing hour, leaving right before SeokJin locks the door and starts to clean up.
Taehyung breathes out a sigh of relief. „Go home Jin, I'll clean up. Thank you for today." He pats his back and Jin happily leaves the café. Everytime Taehyung does the cleaning, he always stays longer just to enjoy the silence. He thinks. Every time he's there alone he gets lost in his head, feelings, memories and maybe that's why he still isn't over it. When he saw Jungkook today, even for a millisecond.. he looked so good. His lips automatically forms a smile when he remembers it, but he slaps himself immediately. He's so screwed.

Taehyung decides to finally leave the café too. When he locks the door from outside, he turns around just to be met with the one he was avoiding the whole time until now.

„Now I get the meaning of The darkest place is under the candlestick."
