jungkook woke up the next morning, taehyung was nowhere around, yet the apartment was in place like the day before had never even occurred. though the vase of sunflowers in the living room at least hinted that something had happened the previous day.
the vibrant flowers stood out confidently in the off white living room at every angle. that's what he loved most about the flowers, and the way they reminded him of the sun - and the sunkissed boy, of course.
and as timing as it was jungkook noticed a note on the coffee table, that lay next to the vase. that read... good morning sunflower, i cleaned up so you don't have to worry about any messes. and don't worry about last night. i was here to watch you till you fell asleep. i'll see you at the cafe. :)
it wasn't hard to recognize the boy's penmanship. it made the boy smiled as he picked up the pain pill that was carefully placed on top of the paper's edge. taehyung was so sweet, it was unreal how perfect the boy seemed to be.
after a few minutes of his trance the boy went to his closet, and got dressed, before heading out for a nearby flower shop. jungkook felt bad for tae since he had stayed up to watch him, cleaned after their mess, and over all, spent so much money on him for his graduation. buying flowers was the most he could do for the older boy.
as he headed to the coffee bar, he grew anxious at the thought of what the boy would think of the flowers he chose, and the small stuffed teddy he decided to add with it; it was so simple. with every step he grew closer to finding out. then once he was in front of the door, it was like a reassurance from the universe hit him, as the sun's heat caressed his cheek.
he took a deep breath as he put the items behind his back and spotted the older sitting at a booth by a window with a cup in front of him, and one in his hands. he was focused on the sun that was shining through a few fluffy clouds.
he was ethereal. the way he reminded the younger of the sun beams, that caressed his cheek - just as securely as he held him on the recent friday.
as soon as he made his way up to the boy he began to break into a blushing fit while taehyung stood up, and greeted him, as usual.
,,good morning kookie, how did you-" the boy was cut off as the younger shoved the bouquet into his tummy making him release a faint oof.
,,thank you, for taking care if me last night taehyung. i really shouldn't have asked for such a thing i didn't even-" the bunny was cut of by a tan finger placed on his lips as tae smiled at him.
,,you don't need to apologize, and you certainly don't need to be so nervous." the older showcased his signature rectangular smile before taking the bouquet and the tiny teddy bear.
the smile that spread across his face widened as his nose scrunched up cutely. ,,i can't believe you did this, i don't know what say... you're so sweet kookie, really.." taehyung's reaction was so far from jungkook's expectations that he began to smile as well.
he sat in his seat once again and looked at the bouquet of violet catmints, and purple scabiosaes. ,,how did you know i loved purple?" the boy tilted his head happily as the golden boy sat in front of him.
,,um.. i don't remember, to be honest. i'm sure you told me on friday." the boy giggled as blush still dusted his cheeks, and his fingertips flicked at his golden bangs. ,,well, it's great to know that you listen so well." the sunkissed boy spoke shyly through a grin as he looked at the bouquet, while placing them at his own side. soon placing the teddy beside it. then he looked up before giving the younger boy the cup he had been holding when he walked in earlier.
,,here's your coffee, i kept it warm for you while i waited for you." taehyung placed the warm cup in front of jungkook, making the bambi notice how red tae's hands were.
,,you didn't need to do that for me tae- you could've hurt yourself." the golden boy reached across the table and grabbed the boy's hands instantly before observing the color of his hands.
,,are you hurting? it looks painful tae." jungkook frowned and looked up at taehyung who was looking straight at the boy who was observing silently.
,,i'm alright kookie," he replied as a smile began to reform. ,,don't worry.. you've done more for me than you'll ever know anyway." the boy held onto the younger's hands now, looking into his eyes.
,,so just think of these things, that I do for you, as me returning the favor." taehyung smiled widely once more before releasing the boy's hands and beginning to drink his own beverage.
,,..so don't so much about it, can you do that for me, please?" the boy questioned sweetly as he moved the mug away from his lips, receiving a nod from the other. ,,promise?"
,,promise."
