Little did Taehyung know they would meet again in such a short while.

Before school was over he gets to enjoy his time with his friends. His gentle smile attracts many love letters and admirers even from outside of the school.

"It must be nice." Considering today is Valentine's Day, he got even more chocolates than the occasional day he would. His friend puts up a pout, he tells how it must be nice to be cute and handsome

"Jimin, you're talking as if you didn't get a lot of chocolates and love confessions today.." Taehyung smiles a bit confusedly.

"They're all from girls. They don't know I'm gay and there isn't a single man out there that gave me chocolates today." So that's what became the problem. Jimin is popular to the girls population while Taehyung is popular to all genders.

Valentines is nice, having to grab a large shopping bag worth of chocolates is nice but he's not interested in any.

And when the bell rings, he became the happiest guy in the entire school.

He and Jimin never went to the same direction, Jimin knows his friend's place but he could never guess he walk down a suspicious short cut. He refuses any other that offers him a hand in hand walk because he thought it would only be a hassle.

But what he didn't expect was going to the same alleyway he would met the same guy he had previously encountered.

"You've got a lot of chocolates on your hand don't you?" It was Jungkook and the first thing he said when they met was the chocolates.

He looks down at the shopping bag and nods casually "Would you like some?" He didn't show fear, only a soft smile. "I can't eat all of them.."

"I have a lot of those cheap chocolates given to me this morning. Do you know it's dangerous to walk down here?"

Of course he knew that "Nothing has ever happened to me so I continue to walk down here. It's fine Mister."

"Would you like me to take you home? It's the least I can do now that we've met." Taehyung knows that's this meeting wasn't an accidental one, he knows he's doing this on purpose, he was waiting for him.

"It's fine." Taehyung smiles as he politely refuses.

"I insist. It's the least I can do after you've dried my clothes" Indeed he insisted it. You can tell by his eyes that a no isn't an answer.

"Alright, if you insist."

They weren't going to walk of course oh no. Jungkook doesn't live in this kinds of neighborhood. He takes him to his car and that car looks awfully high classed.

"Maybe he worked his whole savings for this" was what Taehyung thought when he saw it. It would be too far to think that his life would be compared to a korean drama.

As Jungkook was driving, his eyes trailed down to the man's arm. The burn marks are still there but it looks like it's recovering faster than expected.

"We're here." A look away from the burnt mark and he sees a glam place.

He's a bit surprised- or maybe extremely.

Unlike how yesterday they went to his plain looking home, This time to Jungkook's was an absolute magnificent mansion.

"Are you astonished?" Jungkook asks as he takes the boy in.

Taehyung nods immediately "It's bigger than my place so yea!"

Jungkook wonders; the boy is really cute, to kill him right this moment would be a shame. But he is positive it would be sweet. He can already imagine his cries when he begs to be let alive.

But then he wouldn't be able to find another like him. There won't be another to kill the void like this. He might just be the rare jewel he's looking for and when he's gone, there won't be another one at least not for a while.

"Make yourself comfortable as I'll prepare tea and crackers." Jungkook stops at the living room as he points to the TV and sofa "You can watch TV or charge your phone for the meantime."

Taehyung nods. Although his eyes and head couldn't stop from scanning all over the place. He finds everything to be covered in white and golds. Maybe it's his favorite color or maybe it's just the trend.

He places his shopping bag down and recalls the amount of chocolates as they passed the kitchen and the guy wasn't kidding when he said he received a lot.

His hands reached for the remote and as he was let, he was told to make himself comfortable and at home, turning to the news was what he usually does.

"Last night was a horrible night when a burglar had set the house on fire! The victim unfortunately is now blind and has lost the ability to speak due to the violence that had happened. The patient is currently in the hospital for later questioning after his recovery. Luckily, Mother Nature was on our side and—"

"Is that news from yesterday?" Jungkook appears, giving him a large heart attack just when he's so into the incident.

"Y-yea. You scared me a bit!" His heart was pounding just to recall that Jungkook had burnt scar as well. He was hiding and had an exhausted look.

"Could he be.."

"Do you live alone?" He suddenly asks after putting tea in the coffee table and brings a cup to him and himself. "I noticed yesterday that no one was home."

"I.. I do.." He couldn't calm himself down even when he told himself to.

Jungkook notices that of course but couldn't care less. "Is something bothering you?"

"Mister." Taehyung turns his head to him "Do you live alone too?"

"I do." He wasted no time to answer. "Why do you ask?"

Their conversation pauses for a short while until Jungkook had to open his lips again "Are you suspecting next to be one who set that house on fire?"

Taehyung's lips tremble "N—"

"It's understandable why you would suspect me." He lets out a funny laugh "It's fine. I would too if I was in your shoes. I was cooking dinner last night and things weren't in my favor. I ran to buy bandages but the rain started. I took shelter in that alleyway as you found me."

An "o" formed on his lips before his ears reddens "I'm sorry for suspecting you!"

"No. It's good for a boy like you to suspect a stranger. It's fine." Jungkook laughs it off like it was nothing. Little did the latter would know that he was right all along.

"B-but I still feel bad.. is there any way for me to make it up to you?"

Jungkook puts his index down his chin and a little smile appears "Well you can stay and make us dinner considering I failed the other night."

"No problem! I cook for myself all the time!"

"Great now let me show you your room." Jungkook pulls the boy's hands in advance. He just didn't hear what the request was all about until the end.

"My room..?" He stated confusedly.

"I request for you to stay and you agreed to it. Am I wrong?"

No he's not. Taehyung's just too quick to nod before he can process the whole sentence.

Jungkook showed him a room where Taehyung was sure he would never get the opportunity to sleep in all his life.

"This is my room?"

The room was modern white. The room with bed as soft as an Angel's feather. He didn't have to sit on it to know the heaven he would sink in to.

"Is it not to your liking?"

"Mister, this is my dream room! I can plug 4 electric cords just besides the bed!"

Jungkook chuckles "Then I'm glad. You can stay here as long as you want to, whenever you want to."

As much as that'd be nice, he can't do that! But Jungkook seems like he would very much like that "Well Uhm.. just in case my place falls apart or is really really messy." Oh the odds of that happening.

Jungkook excuses himself "You can take a small tour anytime you like. I'll be in the room next door to finish my pending project." He turns "I will see you at dinner."

-

Long story short he didn't go anywhere. What he did was grab the chocolates from downstairs to his room where he's slowly eating the calories one by one while texting Jimin.

He didn't tell that he's staying in Jungkook's place but he did tell that there is a possibility of him coming in late or absent tomorrow. When Jimin pries for an explanation he didn't give. He just didn't want Jimin to feel weirded out.

So he continued to lay on the bad with his stomach exposed to the air in a flipped up position.

"It's dinner time." Jungkook came in to the room, having to see the boy's baby tummy he pretends to not see after the boy quickly covers up in a flustered expression.

"Ah yes!! It's dinner time!" He got up "Y-You didn't see my unattractive body part right?"

"I have definitely not seen unattractive body part from you." He giggles as he leads the boy to the kitchen.

"So what do you want for dinner? I can basically cook anything!" He proudly shows of how he can professional hold a knife.

Jungkook gave a few thoughts before he answers the question "Steaks and a chocolate cake. We can bring out my old wine while at that."

Taehyung had to gasp "I can do chocolate cake but a steak is too.. I'm also not used to wine!"

"Then anything will do. But I expected chocolate at the end."

It's valentines, of course chocolate is on the menu. He had to improvise because he can't waste all the chocolates Jungkook lays on the floor. After asking for permission he had melt the same branded chocolate to make it into another. Jungkook didn't seem to care for whatever happens to any of them at all.

Jungkook finds himself constantly peeking down whatever the boy is making. He is in fact great at cooking but just prefers not to because of the time he think he's going to waste. A simple glance and he can tell it's a basic chocolate mousse cake that he's going to let in the oven first. For other dishes he guessed fish and chips or maybe salmon sashimi. There's also stew and rice and he sees the rice cooker and pot.

"These ingredients looks so expensive.." He of course overhears the boy's mutter. To him he sounds very lovable.

Of course after everything is finished, he pretends to not oversee the process.

"I'm not the best in cooking but I hope you'll like it." And it was the same dish he had previously expected.

"They seemed delicious to me." And after a spoonful of each, it indeed was. "I like it when you were more confident."

No one has ever praised his cooking so it was natural if he gives a giddy smile. "Thank you."

Chocolate doesn't have to be finished for today, it can be tomorrow as well.

"Thank you for the meal."

When at night he worries, he actually doesn't need to when his suspicions for Jungkook slowly fades but although curiosity still arises. He wonders what kind of job the man does, what project is he working on, where his family is and how many friends does he have because he seemed very lonely of a person.

He sees Jungkook as a kind and lonely man where Jungkook himself is actually a serial killer in wanted.
