Song: "Coffee" by BTS

'Brew Café'

Taehyung read before entering the said café. He already had a reservation so he didn't have to fight for finding a table in the usually busy Café.

He caught a familiar figure at the far end near a big window. He approached him with steady steps.

"Hey Kook...", He greeted as he settled on the opposite side of Jungkook. Jungkook gave him an adorable bunny smile and gestured him to sit.

"I'm sorry I was caught up in some work.", Taehyung apologized as he was still in his work attire indicating he was coming from the office.

"I didn't even ask anything Tae... I understand.", Jungkook smiled while sipping on his espresso.

"Thanks Kook. You know how busy my schedule gets once a deal rolls in."

"I know I know. But seriously Tae, I think it's time you should find someone for you.", Jungkook said to which Taehyung just stared at him.

"Why do you say so?", He asked curiously.

"See... You are always busy with work. And if you ask me I would say you have literally no life outside your business world. You're life is already settled, yet you work your ass off to earn money. Don't you think it's time you should find someone to spend all that money on?", Jungkook asked crossing his arms over his chest like a professional psychologist. Taehyung snickered at this while gulping down a bitter sip of his black coffee.

"I know even though I have money I still work my ass off to earn more, because you see, life won't always remain perfect. I want to maintain it perfect. And speaking of 'someone', I don't think there's anyone out there who would meet my expectations."

Jungkook stared at him. If he didn't have a huge crush on this person, he would've definitely smacked him.

"And what are your expectations exactly?", Jungkook asked placing his chin on his palm.

"I don't know, but she should be perfect in every aspect.", Taehyung shrugged.

"You know what I have heard?"

"Hmm?"

"It is said that, we are destined to meet our fated one. And you can't do anything about it really. And when that person meets us, we learn to love them however they are.", Jungkook stated.

"That's absurd. I won't accept anyone who doesn't meet my expectations.", Taehyung huffed under the breath while tapping the tissue on his lips lightly.

"But it's true though. You know I have also heard that very few people are lucky to have soulmates. You are just tied to that person with an invisible string and you come across each other in most unexpected times. And you keep crossing each other's path once you meet."

Taehyung looked at Jungkook in disbelief. "Have you been reading fantasy novels or something these days?"

Jungkook snorted at this.

"I just said what I've heard. But I know you'll do whatever will please you...", Jungkook had given up. Taehyung just gave off a victory smile and kept digging in the pasta they ordered along the conversation.

"Are you busy this weekend?", Jungkook asked.

"I do—", Taehyung was answering but then he caught a familiar small figure of a certain man.

He was the same man he had sent his so called home just yesterday. That very person with absolutely no name or memory. A man with baby face and weird behaviour.

He was sneaking around the corner thinking no one has watched him. No one but Taehyung. His movements were suspicious. Taehyung immediately sprang up from his seat startling the younger male.

"W-what hap—"

"Um... Kook, I suddenly remembered some work. Would you mind if I cut this short and take your leave now?", Taehyung asked gathering his winter coat from the armrest.

"N-no... Sure. Take...care.", Jungkook didn't even get to complete his sentence before the older male already sprinted out of the door. Jungkook just sighed looking at the swaying empty door of the café.

"Raven!!"

The younger male practically jumped at the deep voice calling him. He looked like a deer caught in headlights as he turned around to face the other. Taehyung stood there with a stern face.

"Oh god... You scared the crap outta me....", Raven exclaimed loudly as he tried to calm his fast beating heart. "Do you have some habit of startling others like this?"

Taehyung narrowed his eyes. "What were you doing Raven?"

"Looking for food."

"Why?"

"What do you mean by why? Because I'm hungry. Duh.", Raven sassily replied.

"No. I meant why are you looking for food? Why don't you buy it?", Taehyung implied.

"Because I don't have money...."

'Another imperfection... Does this person have anything that can be called as perfect?'

"And why don't you have it?"

"Because I don't have job. Now are you done with your questions? I need to steal it before that shop owner comes back to the counter..."

"STEAL?", Taehyung almost gasped loudly.
"What are you? A thief?"

"I am. And nobody have caught me until now. But I only steal food. Nothing else.", Raven said with his chest puffing a little with pride. Taehyung was out of words. How can someone be proud of stealing mere bread crumbs?

"You know you can work for it."

"I can't. I thought of working first, but I don't actually know any work because of my lost memory. I have managed myself a house to stay. I don't have rent to give or bills to pay. So why work like a slave just for food? And based on successful stealing until now, I think I was a professional thief before loosing memory....", Raven blabbered. A look of pride on his pale face.

Taehyung stood there in utter shock. What he understood was only one thing, that this person doesn't come anywhere near his 'perfect' image.
