Butterfly Pt. 2
"So... I see that Mr. Mysterious has returned." Seokjin said, he scooped a large amount of ice into a plastic cup before adding some piping hot milk tea to it. He gestured over to Yoongi who was sitting by the butterfly enclosure, doing what he loved to do, watching butterflies. He casually sipped on his mango smoothie while doing so, his eyes were unblinking as he stared.
Taehyung shrugged, he didn't look up from where he was working. "Yeah, he did."
Seokjin immediately paused what he was doing, he abandoned the drink he was making and walked over to Taehyung. "What's wrong? Didn't you get his number? Aren't you happy he's returned?"
The younger of the two didn't exactly know how to reply. "Yeah... but I think he's forgotten about me or something."
Seokjin dropped his spoon. "What?" He turned to focus on Taehyung instead. "How did that happen?"
A shrug. "I dunno. He doesn't remember who I am, apparently. Maybe he was in an accident and suffered from amnesia or something similar." Taehyung breathed out heavily through his nose. "He only seems to know that he came to the cafe a lot before, but nothing about the workers."
"Well..." Seokjin tried to look on the bright side. "From what I've seen, he seems to like you, hence the fact that you've exchanged numbers and planned a date on Wednesday-"
"It's not a date, hyung!"
"-Okay, okay, a hangout on Wednesday." Seokjin gave Taehyung a dramatic eye roll. "You guys like each other, I can see that easily. I suggest you just enjoy the day with Yoongi and get to know each other better. Even though you've talked there truly isn't much you know about each other, heck, I bet you haven't even exchanged birthdays you don't even know who's older. And then maybe that'll even trigger some of his lost memories back, assuming that's what happened."
Taehyung slowly nodded, seemingly digesting the information. "Yeah, that sounds really reasonable, thanks hyung." Taehyung offered Seokjin a happy smile that made his eyes smaller and showed off his teeth. "I often forget how responsible and reliable you actually are because of the stupid jokes you always make."
Taehyung had to duck and run away to avoid getting hit with an avalanche of ice cubes.

They'd promised to meet at a cafe for their first 'date' supposedly. Seokjin wanted them to come to their butterfly cafe and said he could probably get them free drinks, but there was no way in hell that Taehyung was going to sit right out in the open and just let his co-workers relentlessly tease him.
So they opted for a different cafe, a desserts cafe a few blocks down. Taehyung felt much more comfortable going somewhere without his co-workers, but at the same time he was 95% sure that Seokjin was going to follow them anyways.
He wouldn't be surprised if he woke up the next day to find himself and Yoongi on all of Seokjin's social media stories.
Taehyung surprisingly wasn't nervous on the walk to the cafe, but as soon as he spotted Yoongi his heartbeat just suddenly picked up and began pounding loudly in his ears. Sweat seemed to magically appear on his forehead and both palms, causing him to continually wipe his hands on his jeans.
Yoongi had already arrived at the cafe and was sitting at a two-person table by the large floor to ceiling window.
And good lord Taehyung felt like he could not breathe. He felt as if his heart had jumped out of his ribcage and was stuck somewhere between his throat because for the love of god he could not breathe anymore.
