Taehyung wasn't really paying attention to his surroundings. He left Namjoon and walked out of the club. He didn't like the lingering bitter taste of alcohol on his tongue and he was getting hungry. He forgot to eat dinner again.

Although it was already an hour past midnight, Seoul looked as lively as it is during daytime. There was a couple of pubs and there's a lot of cars passing by on the street, though not as many during the day. It looked vibrant with all the LEDs and streetlights.

Taehyung wasn't drunk, just a bit tipsy since he can't hold his alcohol well. He wished his car was with him but then how can he drive with this kind of state. He didn't even stop once to think "hey why don't we take the bus instead of walking back home."

But to fair, even sober Taehyung would prefer to walk instead. He doesn't like the idea of taking the bus where it's crowded or who previously sat on the spot he's currently sitting on. That's why he needs his red KIA Stinger back immediately.

And besides, it's not that far. He stopped in front of the convenience store near his building. He needed to buy a bottle of that strawberry milk to wash off the after taste.

He went inside and noticed that annoying bubbly cashier wasn't there instead it was a woman in her early 30's and went straight to the aisle for drinks.

Taehyung stopped on his tracks and mentally groaned when he saw a familiar blonde boy picking up a bottle of strawberry milk in nothing more than a  hoodie that looked like two sizes bigger for him that reaches above his knees. His shorts can't even be seen under it.

But Taehyung can't avert his gaze from the boy's ass and he'd be lying if he'll say he doesn't like what he's seeing right now. He can't blame him, Taehyung's a man with desires.

He walked up to Jimin and tapped him on the shoulders. "Fancy seeing you here, sweetheart." He made a sheepish grin.

He felt something bubbling inside his chest when the other groaned in annoyance. Cute.

"You smell like someone who went to the club, Kim. Got yourself laid?" Jimin comments, he took a bottle, and walked away to pay for it. He cursed his cravings, if he didn't come here then his night wouldn't be ruined by seeing Taehyung.

Taehyung hurriedly took two bottles and to catch up to him. Jimin paid him no mind, after he paid for his milk he went out, the cold breeze hitting his face and exposed thighs.

He started walking but he could hear Taehyung's footsteps behind him and he sighed. "Stop stalking me, Kim. You're not gonna get some."

Taehyung scoffed, he can't believe this boy thinks he's a stalker when everything was all a coincidence. He didn't even know he's gonna ran into him at the store.

"Who said I'm trying to bring you to bed? You're not even that bedable."

Lies. Taehyung would do anything if he would be given a chance to have sex with the boy walking beside him. But he needs to keep his cool and not look like he's that eager.

To be honest, Taehyung is not the type to go out and have one night stands with strangers. He only does it when he's in a relationship. Cheesy motherfucker. To him, he sees sex as something special.

Special things should only be done with special people. Take note everyone.

"Have you seen my ass?!" To say Jimin was offended is an understatement. "You call that not bedable?!"

And for the first time they were together, Jimin heard Taehyung laugh. It wasn't forced nor was it sarcastic. His smile was boxy and his eyes had a pretty twinkle in them. That brought an unconscious smile to Jimin's lips.

"You're not bad at all Park. Not bad at all." Taehyung stopped laughing but his boxy smile was still present. "But I do hope the next time I see you, you'd be wearing more clothes. I don't like people looking at you weirdly."

And by weirdly, Taehyung means lustful stares. If he would be Jimin's stylist in the future, he would make the boy wear a sack, not that he wouldn't look great in them.

Jimin doesn't know why but he mentally cursed when he felt heat crawling to his cheeks and he knew Taehyung saw it judging by the cute smirk on his face.

Not much was said after that. It was only the people chattering on side walks, their steps on the hard pavement and the chilly breeze that comes and goes once in a while as their background. Their silence was everything but awkward, it's peaceful.

Until--

"Ooof"

Thud

When Taehyung turned to look at what made the noise, he saw Jimin with his face on the ground and the bottle tumbled on the ground a few feet away from him. He fought the urge to laugh when he saw how upset the smaller looked.

Hastily, he grabbed Jimin under his arms to hoist him up. He hissed when he saw there was a small cut on his palm. It was small but he can see a thin line of blood dribbling from the open wound.

"Why am I this unlucky?" Jimin sighed in a whisper, he pouted making his lips look plumper and Taehyung just wanted to kiss all the pain away.

But no, that thought will never resurface and he promised himself not to think anything about the boy. In an instant, the boxy smile was gone and he looked like the cold Taehyung again when Jimin first met him.

Jimin looked at his bottle of strawberry milk and he saw a small crack on its body. It wasn't leaking but to him it's unhygienic. He wished he asked for a plastic bag so he could've put it inside but he didn't since it was only one item. Save the turtles, right?

"There wasn't even a stone and the roads not uneven. Seriously, how unlucky can I get?!" Jimin groaned, he wanted to pull at his hair.

That darkened Taehyung's eyes even more. It wasn't a stone or the road that made Jimin fall. Not even his misfortune.

Taehyung scowled at the figure. It seemed to be satisfied with it's actions of pushing the boy. But upon receiving Taehyung's glare, it flew to the opposite direction, a mass of black smoke trailing behind it's back.

"Now I don't have my milk anymore." Jimin added, looking at the item laying on the ground.

Taehyung bought two bottles so he doesn't have to see that annoying cashier tomorrow, Hoesuck. He contemplated if he should give the other one to Jimin.

"It looks like you've been unlucky twice today and the sun is not even out yet. Better luck next time Park."

Taehyung walked away after giving him a smirk. It was Jimin's time to make a scowl.

"And just when I started to think he's not half bad as he seems. What's wrong with him? He was laughing only a few minutes ago. Is he bipolar or what?" Jimin thought out loud to himself, his eyes digging holes on Taehyung's back from afar.
