A little taste of Heaven~ // TAEHYUNG

[Chapter 4] A new day

It had been 5 months since that day. I still couldn't remember why I went out, why I woke up with bruises on my wrists. But ever since that night everything had changed. I had never felt more alive. I couldn't remember how or why it happened but I woke up every morning happy and I looked in the mirror feeling good about myself. I had so many questions about that night and Jungkook was the only person I thought to ask because seeing him at the store was the last memory I had of that night.

I had visited him at the convenience store, where he worked and asked if he knew where I had gone after I stopped by on that cold night. We both were clueless about my whereabouts and he seemed concerned so we went out for coffee and chatted about the event. It has been months since that night but ever since then, Jungkook and I have been really close.

-

I woke up at the feeling of the warm sunlight glistening through the window, resting on my face. I opened my eyes slowly and let out a soft sigh before slowly getting up. I made my way to the bathroom to get ready. I started the day by putting makeup on. Just a light touch up, nothing to cake my face. Before I finished I took a look into the mirror, smiling delicately.

"I'm so proud of you."

I said, feeling cheerful. I stared at myself a little longer, when events suddenly started to flash before my eyes.

"Do you think this is being in control? This is losing control."

The stranger said while wearing a white mask as if he was protecting himself from vulnerability. I looked at him confused. He then began removing the face concealing, plastic material.

My eyes flicked up and I stumbled back, leaning on the bathroom wall, breathing heavily.

"W-what was that?"

Those words kept replaying in my mind.

What could it have meant? After a while of battling my own thoughts, I shook my head, not wanting to waste my time on useless thoughts.

"I told Jungkook we shouldn't watch those scary movies."

I started packing my makeup up when I suddenly heard a knock at the door. I practically ran to the door knowing that behind the door was the adorable Jungkook.

"Good Morning!" I opened the door and practically screamed while giving him a sweet smile.

He chuckled while returning the smile.

"Good morning to you. Ready to go?"

I nodded my head and turned around to grab my jacket before following Jungkook out the door.

A while ago, Jungkook had mentioned that he had been looking for a new job, because he had not been getting paid enough. I suggested that he should apply for an interview at my job. He liked the idea so applied and got the job. It was so convenient that Jungkook and I worked the same shifts and we lived so close because he could pick me up and we could go to work together.

-

As soon as we got into the car, he turned to me with a concerned look.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

I looked back at him, confused.

"Yes, why?"

"Well, when you opened the door for me you looked pale."

You shake your head chuckling at him.

"I'm fine kook, no need to worry." I rub his arm, trying to reassure him.

He nods his head, feeling a bit better after hearing my words.

"Okay. You know you can tell me anything, right?"

My heart felt warm.

"Yes I know and I will if anything comes up, okay?"

He let a soft grin spread across his face.

"Okay."

-

We both made it to work on time and I greeted Hoseok by jumping on his back, giving him a fright. Even though my day had started off great, I prayed that it would stay this way because today I was a waitress. I hated being a waitress which was the reason I stayed behind the counter. Waitresses/waiters usually had to deal with messy eaters, complaining customers and spoiled kids. I couldn't wait for the day to end.

-

Surprisingly, the day went on amazingly. There were no complaints, only a few messy eaters and there were a lot of customers but it wasn't that stressful.

It was just a bonus that I didn't have to put up with any kids except for 2 of the biggest, most childish preschoolers ever, Jungkook and Hoseok but I decided to keep them, in the end.

-

I sat down, letting a tired sigh escape my lips as I closed my eyes to relax. The light within my eyelids dimmed as if someone was standing in front of me, blocking the light. I looked up, wondering who was ruining my break. The annoying figure who was holding a hand above the light, focusing hard just had to be my best friend.

I closed my eyes, with an attitude, showing that I didn't want to be disturbed.

"I expected this kind of behaviour from Jungkook."

He looked down at me, slowly lowering his hand from the glowing object.

I opened one eyelid and said.

"I'm Disappointed, Hoseok."

He pouted then chuckled nervously and quickly grabbed a seat next to me.

"Found yourself a boyfriend yet?"

I let out an annoyed sigh, opened my eyes and adjusted my seating position all with an annoyed expression.

"Why?"

"Well i need someone to go on a double date with and...guess who the first person to come to mind was?"

"Why not ask kook?"

I whined, annoyed.

"No!! I want it to be you."

We were practically in sync.

I was about to protest again when I realised my break was over.

"Ah Hoseok! We'll talk about this later."

I said, leaving my friend in pout.

I heard the door open and I got up from my seat, getting ready to greet the customer and show them to their table. I made my way to them, presenting a sweet smile.

"Welcome, sir. Let me show you to your table."

I said, sweetly.

I let my eyes adjust to their figure and their face. He was tall with wide shoulders and long legs. He was breathtakingly beautiful and he looked surreal. I adjusted myself breaking myself from the spell he had me on

He sent me a gentle smile before following me to a table nearby. I sat him by a table next to the window.

I stood in front of him for a second before realising i need to give him the menu

"Sorry, here you go sir." I lay the menu down on the table in front of him before departing to give him some time to decide.

I let out a sigh as i make it into the kitchen beginning to wash the dishes before serving more customers
