6:15 PM
"you coming or what?"
the chestnut haired teen killed some time by playing video games, he was in the last chapter of the story driven scenery playing right in front of him, coming to a halt after a harsh dramatic set between the protagonist and her lover "later!" but he couldn't bother with the fact that his father needed help with setting up newspapers all over the floor just to avoid staining it, an ordeal that Taehyung didn't care about, after all, it was Jimin's job...
Jimin's job..
"wait, oh my god" abruptly throwing the controller to the other side of the room, he rushed towards his closet and took out a pair of blue jeans, a striped shirt and sneakers, specifically given to him by Mrs. Kim, "we were supposed to meet today, at the goddamn cafe, but i forgot!" his eyes searched frantically for the device, which rested in peace on top of his favorite pillow "why do i even bother with you if i'm never going to give you proper use" smacking his forehead with the bottom of his palm, he typed in a quick text, tapping on the 'send' icon, hoping that the other boy would forgive him for this one
.
"so, you're waiting for who and for what?"
the cyber cafe held a calm and paradise like atmosphere, it wasn't crowded, only a few teens lost in their online worlds scattered around in several booths, keeping a personal space each to avoid misunderstandings with the material they watched, played, and even wrote
"my best friend, i told you about him the other day" Jimin's arms were crossed, jaw muscles flexing over the heat starting to grow inside of him, he was being impatient, "he said that 30 minutes ago we'd be meeting up to chat and eat, like, why? am i that annoying? do i look like an idiot? do my armpits smell?" his hands now hit the table, eyes landing on the man sitting across from him, whom held a childish grin, chuckling lightly over Jimin's cuteness
"no, you look, and smell bomb, i'm sure he got carried away with stuff... us teens always rely on letting ourselves loose somewhere else instead of being aware of this" he scanned the place, and even looked outside to prove his point, to which Jimin only huffed, blowing a strand of his bangs that didn't really cooperate with the cuteness he already wore, "stop being such a tease, it's annoying"
"you're annoying"
"great comeback, let me tattoo it on my ass cheeks as a memorial"
"shut up, didn't you have to be somewhere else? get going now" the man shook his head with a killer smile, one that Jimin never grew fond of ever since they met "tell your mom i said hi" the blonde haired teen pouted, crossing his arms again, directing his gaze towards a tall, and slim figure stepping inside the place, realizing that they locked arms with a more than just familiar person by now "oh, look, lovebirds" the man who first sat, picking on Jimin from time to time, now stood up with eyes shining upon Namjoon and Chaeyoung, one of them also recognizable, the other.. not really "are you dating or?"
"no, just... hanging out," Namjoon led the petite twin towards a booth close to the ordering area, it was empty, and pretty much out of Jimin's sight, the girl hated to avoid someone who stood by her through thick and thin, but his constant bitter attitude towards anybody she befriended costed her a lot of good people, he had his flaws, this being one of them, but regardless of it all, she loved him like a second brother, and looked up to him in many ways, shapes and sizes
"have a good evening!" she softly yelled, hoping that Jimin would pick up on it, but the boy was already jogging his way out of the cafe, following the person she wanted to hook Taehyung up with, only for his departure to ruin everything planned prior to Jimin's knowledge, "do you think he knows that's the guy?"
Namjoon smiled towards the twin, holding her hand tightly "i'm sure he does, and if not really then, i guess your friend was right, just don't try to help, things will eventually fit each other if we give them time, rushing was never the proper option in my opinion" he shrugged, leaning in and towards the table, checking the menu for that day "...does apple pie and strawberry cake sound right?"
.
come on don't be mad
Taehyung practically ran his way towards the cyber cafe, not fond of the idea of ever ditching his best friend who begged him for forgiveness after setting his ass up with the devil in disguise, "he better still be there or else--" before finishing what he considered a threateningly cute sentence, his feet slowed their speed, the feel of numbness spreading across his system right after witnessing Jimin hugging a stranger and waving his hand happily while shouting a 'good bye!', in, practically, a way too hyper and sweet tone, one he's never heard coming out of the teen's mouth, but hey, things change don't they?
"well lookie lookie who decided to leave his cocoon" he crashed against Taehyung's body like a wrecking ball, mumbling out nonsense "i missed you" he let go, taking a few steps back before smacking the other's forehead with his middle finger, earning an 'ah' followed by a kick to the shin "how dare you you rotten piece of--"
"who was he, and why were you hugging him like that without my consent, does Jiwoo know about this, when were you planning to tell me you're into guys too? i mean, that one's obvious, but anyway, talk!" Jimin was taken aback by the boy's outburst, instantly denying whatever he had said just a few seconds ago "then why the fuck were you hugging him and waving him off like that?"
"because he's from the same school you and i both went to, and graduated from, now shut up and follow me inside, it's getting cold"
Taehyung had no other choice but to allow Jimin to drag his body towards their main destination, the back of the mysterious man already turning into nothing but tiny specks of dust flowing along with the air that engulfed every inch of the street which slowly became dim
"i still want some answers..."
"why?"
his wrist was free from Jimin's grip, caressing it, a famous side smile that melted glaciers and allowed flowers to bloom prettily taking over his features
"he was hot"
