UNIVERSE / BTS.

namjoon spotted the glowing neon sign and crossed the road, yoongi's hand in his. a delicate bell jingled as they entered, and jinyoung looked up from the book he was reading, a gentle smile on his lips.

"hey guys. the usual?" he asked, closing the book and grabbing his apron from a hook. yoongi nodded. "caramel macciato and a hot chocolate coming right up, then," jinyoung grinned. "go on to the group — yongguk, chaeyong and amber are here already, and i think youngjae said she was bringing a friend today? anyway, i'll bring your drinks over."

"thanks hyung." yoongi smiled. they and namjoon found the group easily, a few tables being moved aside so they could all have a seat on the multicoloured chairs and talk, like a proper support group. the whole cafe was bathed in a gentle pink glow, and the tiles on the floor were like the ones at a swimming pool, except they were all patterned with either tiny rainbows or glitter, sparkling as you walked on them. yoongi loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place, plus the wonderful owners and the cheap drinks.

"hey namjoon, yoongi." yongguk broke off his conversation with chaeyong and greeted the two, who greeted him back and sat down, next to each other as always. amber and chaeyong sat next to each other, amber's hand on chaeyong's shoulder as she spoke to yongguk in what sounded like english, but yoongi didn't know. yongguk nodded and responded softly — chaeyong was obviously having a bit of an emotional moment, so yoongi decided to leave them to it, fishing their phone out of their pocket and seeing a new notification from instagram.

you have (1) new message from hobieseoks !

yoongi grinned discreetly and opened the message, smiling as the dm from their internet friend loaded.

yoongnoodle: i'm good! waiting for three more people to turn up to start this support group meeting, this lovely girl is having a bit of a hard time at home from the looks of it, she's crying and speaking english (?) i think

hobieseoks: aw wish her the best from me

hobieseoks: i know what it's like to have hard times at home bc of being trans, but it does get better ^-^ now i live with youngjae, and she's more than i could ever ask for in a friend
