The past few weeks had been the same as usual. Jungkook and Taehyung head to school together, attend classes with Jimin while the Mins spend their time at work with Taehyung sometimes. When Jungkook end up being home alone, he would stay with Jimin to help out at his cafe.
The only difference from the past was that Jungkook spend every night with (Y/N), singing for her.
As time passed, the two of them became closer and they unknowingly strummed on each other's heartstrings. Flowers blossomed and time stopped whenever their eyes met.
A feeling both of them didn't knew how to describe.
••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••
As usual, Jungkook was helping Jimin out at the cafe because he had nothing better to do at home. That day was going on as usual until an unexpected customer came.
The expression of Jungkook and Jimin were way too different when they saw the person. Jungkook was extremely delighted while Jimin was totally shocked to see that person.
Jimin took a closer look at the person just to make sure he was not seeing things. He crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrow.
"What is Min (Y/N), the person who cannot even stand the smell of coffee, doing in my cafe alone?"
She rolled her eyes and pushed him aside.
"Taehyung needs to attend family dinner, my Brother has business meeting and I have finished everything."
She sat down in front of the counter, facing Jungkook. The two exchanged smiles and looked away as if on instinct when their eyes met.
Jimin, who was watching the two, felt something suspicious between those two. He thought it could just be his imagination and ignored it. He passed the menu to (Y/N).
"So, what are you going to order?"
"I would like a cup of coffee."
"You what?!"
She let out a sigh and repeated, "I said I want a cup of coffee."
"What happened to you? Are you sick?"
(Y/N) lightly punched Jimin's chest and turned to face the blank Jungkook.
"I-i just wanted to try it... Jungkook coffee..."
She said it softly but it could clearly be heard. Jimin bursted out laughing which made both Jungkook and (Y/N) blush. She shot Jimin a death glare and Jimin immediately stopped laughing.
••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••
Soon, she received the coffee Jungkook made. The smell was pretty strong and she was having a hard time tolerating it. She glanced at the two worried faces staring at her.
"Can you stop staring at me?"
The two faked a cough and looked else where but still checking her from the corner of their eyes.
(Y/N) smelled the coffee and closed her eyes. She calmed herself down and took a sip. The taste caught her off guard. She placed the cup down and stared at the brown liquid.
"I-is s-something wrong? D-does i-it taste bad?" Jungkook asked worriedly.
She shook her head and smiled. "It tastes amazing. No wonder Yoongi had been boasting about it."
Jungkook felt relief and extremely happy to know that she liked his coffee.
"So does that mean I'm going have another customer?"
"Is money all you think about, Jimin?!"
"Well, it's expected from a Min's Friend."
"Yah! We are not like that!"
Jimin ran away and hid behind Jungkook. He placed his arms around Jungkook and hugged him.
Jimin placed his weight down on Jungkook that brought Jungkook's face closer to (Y/N). (Y/N) immediately lowered her head down with her eyes turning red. Jimin smirked and (Y/N) noticed it.
He gave her a 'I know what is going on' look. She swallowed her saliva thickly and avoided eye contact as she drank her coffee.
••••••••••••••••••<>••••••••••••••••••
The cafe was busy as usual so Jimin decided to have Jungkook accompany his darling Friend with an intention obviously. Jungkook took a chair and sat behind the counter, in front of (Y/N). The two didn't really say anything but they definitely enjoyed each other's presence.
The cozy and quiet atmosphere was interrupted when (Y/N) received a phone call. She checked the caller and immediately picked it up. Her expression turned sour and she ran out of the cafe, leaving a shocked Jungkook.
Jimin went to Jungkook and asked what happened. All Jungkook could reply was a shrug as he didn't know either. But at least he knew who the caller was.
"Taehyung called. I wonder what happened."
"Ah... I see."
"Do you know what is going on, Hyung?"
"I kind of do but I don't think I should say it."
Jungkook just nodded. He didn't want to force anyone to say something they didn't want to. Just then, a question popped up in his head. He seemed permission from his to Hyung to ask the question to which Jimin obviously allowed.
"Hyung... what is the relationship between you and the Mins?"
Jimin stopped whatever he was doing and faced Jungkook.
"Well, I'd receive permission from Yoongi-Hyung to tell you so I guess it's time."
Jungkook straightened himself up and pricked his ears as he placed full attention to what Jimin was going to say.
"Well, the Mins and I are childhood friends. Being close to them was like heaven and hell. People were jealous and hated me. I got bullied a lot but the Mins were always there for me. We hanged out a lot, especially at that music room of theirs. They played the piano while I sang. But as time passed, they became obsessed with my voice. They wanted perfection; the perfect tone, the perfect rhythm.. well basically the perfect voice. However, I'm a human so I couldn't keep up and in the end I almost lost my voice from singing all the time. The Mins were pretty guilty about it but it's not their fault. I never blamed them and we are still close anyways."
"Then... did you purposely choose me to sing at the bar?"
"Well... yes. For (Y/N) case, she wanted more than just my voice. You can say she thinks I'm her first love. I'm sure she's just confused about her feelings and also it's not worth it. I could never be able to fulfil her wishes again. Also I'm weak and... I could never accept her feelings."
"Why is that so? I mean she's-"
"Perfect. I know and that's the reason. She's way too perfect that I'm too afraid... afraid that I'll just end up breaking her apart for falling in love with a fool like me. Love is not that easy. Both hearts have to connect for it to work. She never really knew about love although I'm not sure how she feels about... never mind."
"So... am I your replacement?"
Jimin shook his head and hugged the younger boy.
"You are a gift, Jungkook. No one can ever be another person. We are all different in a way. As for you, you are someone who can make (Y/N) feel the love that she never had."
"But how can you be so sure?"
"I just do."
Jungkook didn't really understand what Jimin was talking about. He wanted to be special too. He didn't want to be a replacement to (Y/N). He want to be Jeon Jungkook to (Y/N). Although that's what he wants, his heart felt heavy as he believed the possibility was low.
He thought of the people around her and he felt small. He wondered if he could ever be able to stand up straight beside her. Those thoughts brought about a certain person in his mind. One who's always with (Y/N).
"Then... who is Taehyung to (Y/N)?"
Jimin hesitated a bit to answer. He wasn't sure if he should.
"Umm... he's..."
Jungkook noticed Jimin was having a difficult time answering him. He was about to tell him it was fine but he was cut off when someone entered the cafe. The two turned in that direction and saw Yoongi standing before them.
"He's her fiancé."
