5. Care
"Cup of milk, let's rock and roll/ Call me I'm on my phone / Ice tea and a game of ping pong. /This is getting heavy can you hear the bass boom I'm ready woohoo... oops I messed up the lyrics."
Jungkook was singing loudly in the early morning as he was cooking breakfast at the same time. He was so happy. First of all, the thing happened yesterday, second of all he is completely free today. Buna Corner is closed today, well not absolutely closed though because it is open for a certain person. Guess what? Tae is coming to their cafe! Again today!
Jungkook was so happy and energetic today. He was even making breakfast for himself. He put on his white t-shirt , even put cologne today, then wore his favorite parka. No doubt he is meeting a special person today.
"Aish whatta day today! Can't wait to meet you."
He entered the cafe by the back door as obviously it was "formally" closed. Noona was already there waiting for them. Jungkook flashed a warm smile to her.
"Huhu someone is definitely in good mood today huh?"
"If not me then who else? "
"Ahhh, right right..."
* Knock knock *
They both startled at the sudden but expected knocking on the back door. Jungkook opened the door and there standing the beautiful man flashing a warm smile.
"Hey" he huffed.
"Hey." Jungkook reciprocated. But he wasn't alone today, as a tall woman figure was standing beside him.
"Oh let me introduce her to you, she is Dayeon, my secretary, my assistant and a very good friend of mine." Tae said with a smile on his face.
"Please come in," Jungkook said letting them in.
"Thanks, I'm Han Dayeon, Nice to meet you Jungkook, Tae never shut his mouth talking about you since he returned from last night, I wonder if he got good sleep yesterday night." Dayeon said with a smirk on his face. Hearing which both Jungkook and Tae blushed.
"Yah, stop exposing me..."
"So you do agree with me..." Dayeon said cocking his eyebrow.
"Okay *cough* so what would like to order ma'am, and sir?"
"No need to be formal Jungkook, just think of me as a sister." she said.
After they placed their order respectively, Jungkook himself made their drinks with extra care. Then all of them sat down to chit chat a little...
"Ah, Jungkook sure have a good hand of cooking, am I right Tae?"
"Indeed, you really did it brilliantly, and believe me he sings even better... sweeter than sweet."
"Aiys, you guys are exaggerating, it's a common talent for all barista, have you never drink any before..."
"Well, hmmm nah. I mean I did but not like this, I want to be normal again. Guess not in this life..." saying that Tae bursted into a bitter laughter. Jungkook could see that pain in his eyes. He noticed it before though, whenever he saw him on television and other places. He was missing his soul, the spirit... suddenly an idea came to him.
"Wait a bit, Taehyung how about we hide for somedays? from press, from fans, from the world itself?" Jungkook said with wide eyes, making them awe as well.
"What do you mean?" Dayeon said with a frown.
He leaned on the table and continued, "Well, he wants to live his life, an ordinary life, we will eat jjamppong, enjoy rain, enjoy sunshine, we will drink soju, we will go to Karaoke, we will do everything that a ordinary person do... " finishing that he looked at Tae's eyes whose eyes were now sparkling like stars.
"So you want him to be ordinary when he's not?"
"He's the same as us"
" Eyes are on him."
"Then sneak."
"What if he get caught."
"I'll protect him."
"Tsk you can't."
"I will protect him with all I have."
"Prove."
"I will."
"I want a proof now."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Dayeon!" Tae raised his voice. But Dayeon didn't even buzzed nor did Jungkook.
"Open the café now, let others know that Taehyung is here, can you handle the crowd?"
"DAYEON! stop now. Enough!" Tae yelled.
"Then aren't we making suffer when there is no storm?" Jungkook said with a stern voice.
"It's a demo."
"But either way he will suffer."
"I want to know whether you're capable to protect or not."
"Is that how you want to know? Calling the storm?"
"Yes, Dayeon wants proof. What if you're a fraud? Aren't you a fan? And isn't every fan's dream? to spend time with their idol? Oh wait, don't tell me you even want to sleep-"
"Lee Dayeon enough!" Tae yelled, looking straight at her eyes and slammed his hand on the table. Due to sudden quake, the warm coffee fell on the hand, leaving a bright red burn.
But it wasn't Tae's hand. All their eyes followed, as Jungkook's one hand was under Tae's preventing him from slamming the table and other one on it, covering... as the coffee spilled over Jungkook's hand.
"Jungkook, your hand! it's burned, why! aish..., Noona, Ms.Min, can you please give some ice..." Tae yelled anxiously as he already took his hand.
" No need to prove anything. i'm happy, I'm happy. no need to go anywhere." Tae whispered annoyed by the whole situation, while Jungkook could only notice the sadness in his eyes.
"four days"
"what?" he said annoyingly.
"I will give you two, four days. Live like you want to. But I want him safe at any cost."
"thank you, I'm glad." finally jungkook.
"then I will take my leave, your time starts now."
"yes."
"Wh-"
"well one thing... to tae you may be someone but to me you're just a fan. to you tae maybe the one whom you admire, but to me Tae is my job, my duty... you better remember that." saying that she left the cafe.
Four days.
