KIM TAEHYUNG

JEON JUNGKOOK

{ 🌹🌹🌹}

Kim Taehyung, a typical handsome florist. Owner of a typical "Bun and bells" flower shop. He is certain he hasn't done anything associated with the gang in the past. That includes drinking alcohol because he rarely consumes it. Then why does there always seem to be a man dressed in black standing outside his flower shop, staring at it?

Initially, Taehyung thought he was waiting for someone, but he was not. It is always the same man outside the flower shop. There's nothing scary about him. The man has seen more creepy things in his lifetime, but he is curious. This mysterious figure always wore black clothes.

It consists of a black jacket and a white t-shirt beneath. The black skinny jeans and black timberlands come from Taehyung's brand knowledge. Because of the bucket hat and black mask, he cannot even see the man's face clearly. He looks at the man, curious as to why he does not enter the shop, why he only stares. Is he planning on robbing it? What a fool. The only thing he'll find here are gorgeous flowers and small cute plants.

"He is again standing in front of the shop chime." he said to his best friend over the phone. While staring at the man who had stood in the same spot for some time. His real intention is to confront the man and ask why he is standing there. He also wants to know what it is he wants from him. "You don't know anything Taehyung, what if that man wants you to confront him so that he can do anything to you?" Jimin said to him when he first heard about it.

"I don't want you to do anything stupid Taehyung. You could get hurt very easily. Be careful and have a weapon close by. If anything happens, then make sure to be safe.". Jimin said from the other side, while Taehyung hummed mindlessly as they bid their goodbyes. In the meantime, Taehyung was watering his flowers while glancing at the stranger.

The man was about to walk toward him when he saw him. The flower shop's door opened, and the same man in a black outfit entered the shop. His hand was inside his jacket pocket, and his hat was hung low. After watering the plants for a moment, Taehyung stopped. He quickly scurried behind the counter. Despite his best efforts, he cannot help but rub the rough surface of his pants with sweaty hands.

As Taehyung drew closer to the man, the sweet aroma of coffee filled his nostrils. Suddenly, he feels relaxed, and he doesn't know if this is magic or something else. Something reminds him of someone. He cannot pinpoint who it is. The scent sure reminds him of someone he knows. Who, though?

During his visit to the flower shop, the man absorbed every detail. He thought it was adorable. His favorite part was the arrangement of the plants. Light was hitting the flowers surface in a way that made them not only look beautiful but also happy.

He was astonished when he heard someone clear their throat. After that, his eyes were diverted to the handsome florist. He still has his mask and bucket hat on, so even if he smiles, the other won't be able to see him.

Meanwhile, Taehyung silently observes the other. Who was that watching the flower shop? His amazement was apparent. Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
What if the man was a thief?
Hold on. Could he be a flower thief?! Taehyung was screaming inside at his stupidity. His thoughts didn't help him relax.

A professional smile masked his nervousness as he cleared his throat. Looking straight into his eyes, the man looked calm. Inhaling the scent of coffee again, he looked serene. It felt like home. Keeping his voice calm, he then gently asked, "How can I help you?" He mentally patted his back for doing well. The man removed his mask and smiled shyly at the other. The breath stuck in Taehyung's throat. Standing there was he. It felt like someone had punched him in the abdomen.

A normal person would see him as a maniac. With his mouth hanging open and his eyes as wide as saucers, he allows a perfect entrance for small insects. However, he had more important things to do. Among them was the man standing before him.

Then he walked towards the other. His height towered over that of the other. The other was slightly shorter than him. He watched as the younger fiddled with his fingers. Eyes flung to the ground and cheeks dusted with the beautiful shade of pink. Taehyung was astonished by the other duality. Even his all-black outfit and e-Boy attire amazed him. He looked adorable.

He breathed out, "...Jungkook...?". He was still unable to believe that the younger was here. Right in front of him. As Jungkook approached the older, he turned his eyes from the ground to make eye contact with him. Then he laughed sheepishly and said, "Hi Hyungie.".

As he was about to say anything else, he was embraced with a bone-crushing hug. Initially he let out a squeak in surprise, but relaxed once he smelled the fresh lavender. The older boy embraced him back with the same force. They both want to say something- but they can't. Okay, scratch that. Both want to say and ask each other many things. The unspoken words between them are numerous. For now, however. They put their noses on each other's necks. Breathing in the fragrance of home, they basked in it. The home they knew. Their familiar scent surrounded them.
