11: Smile
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
"Sleep well. Good night, Tae" Jungkook beamed in a sweet voice, waving his hand like a child while stepping back with the widest smile ever.
Earlier.. when Taehyung agreed on being a friend to the raven-haired, he practically showed his happiness by hugging Taehyung. Taehyung was feeling uncomfortable but he doesn't have the guts to push other.. why? Maybe because he was finally trying to move out of his bubble.
Taehyung waved back and shut the door when Jungkook moved towards his car which was parked a little far from Taehyung's house. It was just a matter of a second when the door was knocked again.
"What's now?" Taehyung frowned when he opened the door and saw Jungkook smiling sheepishly.
"Can I have your phone for a second please?" Jungkook batted his lashes, trying to be cute and Taehyung was just surprised to see his actions. Somehow, he gave him the phone and Jungkook quickly grabbed the phone, after typing some number he called the user and in the next moment his own phone buzzed.
After canceling the call, he again typed something on Taehyung's phone and gave it back to him with a bunny smile before sprinting out of the house as if nothing happened. Taehyung was standing there, dumbfounded. Once again he saw Jungkook entering his car but this time drove away.
"What's wrong with him?" Taehyung muttered and shook his head before locking the door. The first thing he did was to see his phone. There was a new contact number saved as
"💜Bunny💜"
"What the hell?" Taehyung scoffed but smiled afterward.
Taehyung was tired so he decided to sleep early. In bed, his mind was busy thinking about earlier, a small smile still there all the time.
"Good night Taehyung," Sighing lightly, he wished himself and tried to revert his thoughts but soon his phone buzzed making him look at the lit-up screen.
💜Bunny💜
'Good night Tae.. have sweet dreams...❤'
Message from his new friend crept a smile on his lips. It was a new feeling for him... receiving a good night message from someone wasn't a bad experience, it was new but it was not that bad. Licking his lips, he turned off his phone, placed it on the side, and closed his eyes.

The next morning everything was like every day except for one thing that everyone noticed.. what was that??
An informal and sweet smile on Taehyung's lips.
Yeah, he was smiling since the morning after receiving a bouquet of the same purple flowers with a cheesy yet sweet note.
" For Tae
These flowers are for the one who's heart is softer than these petals. Who's presence is more fragrant than these flowers...
From Bunny"
Yeah, the note was quite cheesy but Taehyung liked that after all, it was the first time someone praised him like that. Everyone always praised his external beauty but no one ever praised his inner self. Jungkook was the only person to take that initiative and maybe... Taehyung was just waiting for someone like him??
He received the bouquet from the guard and after reading the note he placed those beautiful flowers carefully in his waiting room oblivious that every worker was looking at him in awe.
"Something special, Taehyung shi?" Mrs. Choi started with an amusing smile and Taehyung quickly shook his head.
"But you seem different today.. don't you wanna tell your noona?" Mrs. Choi pouted and Taehyung giggled.
"You are so cute, noona." Taehyung commented and Mrs. Choi was just more than surprised as he also heard Taehyung's giggles for the first time.
"Oh, man! There is definitely something. I am not cute here you are the one who can increase anyone's heartbeat." She laughed wholeheartedly when Taehyung huffed with closed eyes but smiled again.
Both of them were arranging the counter as it was early morning and they had very few customers. Before Taehyung could say anything else, a cheerful voice beamed.
"Good morning beautiful people~" Jin greeted everyone with a warm smile and they all greeted him back with the same warmth. Taehyung and Mrs. Choi also greeted him and Jin noticed the same thing.
"You look... good today." Jin chose the most appropriate words well aware of Taehyung.
Taehyung just smiled at the comment. Jin was definitely happy to see him like that for the first time at his job.
"Well, did you rest well?" Jin asked when Mrs. Choi left and Taehyung nodded, making his hair bounce lightly.
Jin wanted to know more as Jungkook just told him that Taehyung wasn't feeling good so he needs a day off. But definitely, it got Jin too much surprised knowing that Taehyung always avoided other so how come they are both together?
He thought to ask Taehyung in the morning but after seeing his smile, he dropped the idea.
"Everyone... today we will close at 3 pm due to some renovation purposes, so.. enjoy your evening with your loved ones!" Shaking his head, Jin looked around the staff and announced causing all the workers to break up in loud cheers.
Taehyung started working and Jin went to his office. It was about 1 pm when he received a message from Jungkook.
💜Bunny💜
'Hey Tae... I heard you are free today's noon. Just be ready we will be going somewhere.. and please just don't reject... remember you said you won't hurt me🥺. So just be ready at 3 pm. 😌'
Taehyung read the message about 5 times. "What... how he knows about that?" He whispered in disbelief, reading the text thrice to confirm.
"Yeah, Jungkook told me about them. He even called them for me, they will be coming today at noon." Taehyung heard Jin talking with someone on phone.
"Ah... That's why he knows." He again muttered, now understanding the reason before busing himself with the work.
It was already 3 pm and they all said bye in a very good mood, excited to spend time with their loved ones. Taehyung was about to leave but he was halted by Jungkook on his way. He was wearing very casual clothes and they definitely looked good on him.
"Hey, where are you sneaking?" Jungkook raised his one brow and Taehyung almost copied him.
"Of course, going home." Taehyung retorted, stating the obvious, and tried to take more steps.
"Didn't you get my message? No, I definitely saw seen.." Jungkook mumbled the last part to himself and again looked up with a small frown.
"I am not going anywhere Mr. Jeon Jungkook," Taehyung said in a stern tone, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Don't tell me Tae.. we are friends. Did you forget that? Don't be stubborn." Slightly whining. Jungkook pouted and Taehyung just rolled his eyes, again trying to take another step but this time Jungkook sighed loudly, dramatically placing his hand on his wound from the previous night.
"Ah, it hurts!" Taehyung quickly looked back at the pained voice.
"Some people said that they don't want to hurt me.. but still they hurt me here," Jungkook said, pointing towards his heart and Taehyung looked up at the sky, feeling so done.
"Why he is so dramatic?" He muttered but Jungkook clearly heard that.
"Just for you~" Jungkook sang cutely, definitely unbothered by the words.
"Come on Tae. I am just trying to celebrate our friendship. Come on man, I promise you will never regret that." A proud smile adorned his face, so confident about the matter.
"Where?" Taehyung asked nonchalantly.
"Carnival," Jungkook whispered and Taehyung's face lit up. He always wanted to go to a carnival since his childhood but he never got enough time and money for that.
Should I go? He said he is my friend. It is not bad to go with him...
The offer was so tempting, also with an entertaining person like Jungkook, it was really attracting his mind. Again after thinking for a moment, Taehyung nodded and Jungkook wasted no time and dragged him toward his car. Jin saw them with an adoration-decorated smile.
"They look friendly with each other. I hope his happiness lasts forever." A brotherly love dominated in his voice, watching the two younger males going with happiness-filled eyes.
Jungkook drove to the carnival and Taehyung didn't speak during the whole drive. But a smile crept on his lips when he saw a bit rushy place, thrumming his heart in excitement.
"We are here," Jungkook announced happily and quickly parked his car.
"So? Where you wanna go first?" Taking a deep breath, Jungkook gazed at Taehyung who was just watching every stall with so much happiness like a child. He was so much busy admiring a few families.. or more precisely, happy families. It was a working day so it wasn't that rushy, yet enough people to enjoy.
"Mommy.. shee that ish cream is calling for me." Both of them heard a whining little boy who was tugging on his mother's coat.
"Awe he is so cute." Taehyung beamed with a cute smile, starting at the kid with so much adoration and Jungkook find him cuter than that child.
"Yeah, he is," The raven-haired said while looking at Taehyung who was now having some thought.
"I also want ice cream." Taehyung made his way to an Ice cream stall and ordered two ice creams. Jungkook also followed him with the hope that Taehyung ordered one for him as well. But ops, his hopes were crushed when he saw Taehyung licking both ice creams, a bit childishly but still looking so adorable.
"Hey..." Feeling betrayed, Jungkook screamed in low voice.
"What?" Taehyung was unbothered this time, licking his lips like there was nothing to be point out.
"You are mean.. I thought you ordered one for me but nope, man.. you crushed my hopes like that bulky man crushed that fallen leaf." Jungkook huffed, pointing towards a man who was passing by them. That man gave them a very angry glare.
"What are you doing Jungkook? Do you want a beat?" Taehyung whisper-yelled at him when he saw that death glare from the scary looking man.
"You are here to protect me.. my friend is here so no tension," Forgetting the argument, Jungkook said wiggling his brows.
"Wait a second. Let me order another ice cream for you. Such a drama." Taehyung again mumbled the last part and this time Jungkook didn't say anything instead he snatched one ice cream from Taehyung's hand.
"Hey, that's mine, I licked that. I am ordering one for you so-" Taehyung tried to protest but Jungkook already started licking that ice cream, shrugging and completely ignoring his plea.
Somehow Taehyung calmed down when Jungkook won a plush doll bunny through a game after finishing off the forcible treat and gave that to him. They played some more games but Taehyung lost most of the time, making him annoyed.
"I am not playing anymore." Taehyung rolled his eyes as he carried his plush doll and started walking away from the game booth.
"Ok fine. Let's go for some jewelry!" Suggesting that, Jungkook dragged Taehyung toward a jewelry stall. A beautiful pendant caught Taehyung's eyes and he quickly grabbed that, touching the surface so smoothly.
"It's 100$ Sir. It's antique and original." The shopkeeper said with a warm smile but his words faded Taehyung's smile... and he quickly placed that back, a little panic.
"I was just admiring the art. It's beautiful.. thank you." Taehyung cleared his throat and started walking. Noticing the hesitation and the reason behind it, Jungkook smiled and gestured shopkeeper to pack that pendant. Taking the packed pendant, he rushed behind the very silent brown-haired.
They walked side by side when he heard beautiful yet refreshing music. A boy was dancing to a song and Taehyung stopped to enjoy the performance. Jungkook looked at him and skipped toward the man in the stall, he whispered something in his ears and soon song changed.
Taehyung was still trying to know what Jungkook was planning but he couldn't till Jungkook was standing in the center where that boy was dancing before. Jungkook started singing the song with the singer but to add more he started dancing perfectly.... means so perfectly.
Taehyung was just looking at him with a wide open mouth but his eyes widened more when he saw Jungkook pointing at him while singing...
I am your filter~ (a/n why not? I am high on filter 🤷🏻♀️)
Jungkook was dancing with full passion, swaying his waist and hips like a professional, and no doubt Taehyung also enjoyed his performance. Jungkook danced because the area was quite far from his place so there wasn't any person who knows him, so he enjoyed himself without any fear of losing the face of the angry CEO.
"Wow! Are you sure you are a CEO?" Taehyung chuckled with a teasing smile and Jungkook just flipped his hair with a proud smile, indicating his confidence in his talents. Taehyung shook his head in disbelief, still, a bit caught up by the mind-blowing performance.
Taehyung suddenly felt tired the reason was he walked a lot after a long time. So he told Jungkook that he wanted to go home. It was already 6 pm and the sun was setting, painting the sky in beautiful colors.
"Don't you wanna eat?" Jungkook asked while showing him a food stall. After a little argument, they ended up in that stall, eating delicious street food.
"Thanks, a lot Jungkook," The sweet aroma of the flower surrounding them which were placed on his lap when Taehyung said genuinely with a smile, gazing around the dark area. Jungkook stopped the car in front of his shabby house before giving him attention.
"For what?"
"For trying to make my day better... and yeah thanks a lot for these flowers. I really love purple flowers." Taehyung added while looking at his lap. He never opened up in front of anyone except for his mother but opening in front of Jungkook was a good feeling for him, a feeling to make his heart warm, which was cold for years.
"Thank God.. you like them." Jungkook also smiled, his eyes crinkling beautifully and maybe, Taehyung felt a slight change in his heartbeat only to ignore it.
"And don't thank me. I just wanted to show you that we can be good friends if you allow it." Taehyung felt his heartbeat again quicken at his words.
I am not rushing things right? It's fine to trust him.
Taehyung was thinking when he felt that something was hanging in front of his eyes. He looked up and found the same pendant that he liked in the carnival. With questioning eyes, he turned to see Jungkook who was just smiling at him.
"My first gift as your friend." With a sweet smile, Jungkook informed him, swinging the pendant.
"No, I mean you already did much.. I don't need -"
"I know.. but can you please accept this gift?"
Taehyung felt bad.. he was puzzling. Why he can't buy anything for Jungkook who gave him so many good moments?
"Come on take it.." Jungkook pleaded, pouting adorably and Taehyung finally grabbed that. Clutching the pendant in his fingers, he gently caressed it and softly mumbled.
"Thanks."
"Nah. Not accepted. Wear it, now." Jungkook demanded with a mischievous smirk and to his surprise, Taehyung compiled, tangling the pendant around his tan neck, making the pendant shine beautifully while dangling there. And Jungkook couldn't hold back muttering the word which already passed his lips.
"Beautiful"
