Epilogue: Happily Ever After

Taehyung rubs his temple for the nth time. Huffing — yet again — he shoots Jimin another death glare. Jungkook and Yoongi chuckle as the four men get off their car.

They enter the coffee house and Taehyung drops himself on the couch in front of the counter. Jimin sits on the chair, Yoongi positions himself next to Taehyung and Jungkook goes over to order their drinks.

[A/n: The arrangement is kinda like Central Perk in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. So imagine them placing themselves accordingly :) ]

"It took you time to arrive today," Soo, the middle-aged lady at the counter says, "You guys are ten minutes late."

"Yeah, well you can't fight the demands of the circumstances." Jungkook tosses Soo a smile.

"I know kid," Soo places her hands on the counter, "Traffic can be really rankling."

"Traffic? It was not traffic that rankled us," Taehyung joins the conversation, "It was Jimin's driving. He let an old man in a walker pass us by. God punish the man who gave Jimin a driving license." Taehyung eyes Jimin.

"Hey, just because I'm safety conscious, does not mean I'm slow." Jimin protests.

"You keep saying that to yourself for the tears to stop." Yoongi pats Jimin's shoulder.

"You all are mean!" Jimin crosses his arms over his chest.

"We wouldn't be if you could drive like an adult," Taehyung says, "A kid with a tricycle goes faster than you. It took you forty-five minutes to come here, we usually reach here within twenty minutes."

"I'm sorry that I care about us and our safety." Jimin looks away with a 'hmph'.

As they keep bickering, Jungkook looks at Soo with a smile before saying, "Aren't they something else?"

Soo nods and asks, "What would you boys like to have today?"

"The usual please," Jungkook takes out his wallet and hand over his card to Soo. "You know us, we like our usual beverages."

"The usuals coming right up."

Jungkook heads back to the main couch as Yoongi and Taehyung make place for Jungkook.

"What is your biggest regret in life?" Yoongi suddenly questions.

"The fact that I let fear control me for a really long time." Jungkook's the first one to answer.

"I actually have none," Jimin adds.

"Taehyung, what about you?" Yoongi looks at the blonde.

"The fact that I befriended a slow-as-hell  driver like Jimin." Taehyung jokes.

"You are just plain ungrateful." Jimin says, offended.

"Geez! I'm so sorry." Taehyung sarcastically answers.

"Guys, stop bickering like three-year olds." Yoongi scolds, "Let's not creat a scene."

"Hey Taehyung," Jungkook calls for the blonde, "Ten 'o' clock, brunette babe checking you out. You might want to give a shot." The youngest winks at the blonde.

Taehyung excitedly widens his eyes and peers over to his left. Seems like Jungkook is right, a brunette girl with a pale skin tone stares at Taehyung.

"Men, it is time to watch and learn." Taehyung gives his friends a confident smile as he rolls up the sleeve of his t-shirt and heads over to the girl.

"Hey there," Taehyung sits in front of the girl, a smirk on his face. He says, "So, I noticed you checking me out. And I wanted to ask if you're liking what you see right now?" He points at himself.

"I guess I do," she places her chin on her palm.

"So, you like blondes, I'm assuming?" Taehyung raises a brow.

"As long as 'blondes' refers to you, yes." She smiles.

"But, aren't you here with your friends? Shouldn't you be with them?" The girl asks again. "I don't want to interrupt you guys."

"Interrupt? Hah, no," Taehyung shoves the girl, "My friends are really understanding and cooperative. They are probably very happy for me."

The girl looks over at Jimin, Jungkook and Yoongi just to see them giving a not-so-understanding look. "I doesn't seem so to me." She says.

"That is probably because you don't know them as well as I do. Now, where were we?" Taehyung flirtatiously looks at the girl.

She scoffs, "You're relentless."

"Yeah, I don't give up neither." Taehyung flirts.

"Can I call you sometime? We can hang-out at the movies, at a restaurant. Or even better– at my place." Taehyung leans on his arm.

The girl pulls out a card from her purse, "Sure. Let's meet up."

Taehyung accepts the card and goes back over to the three men sitting on the couch. "I got myself a girl and you didn't."

"That is a really rude way of saying 'thank you' to someone." Jungkook pouts.

"What can I say bunny-boy? I am one-of-a-kind." Taehyung brings out his conceit.

"Yes, he's a one-of-a-kind, odious, amorous moron." Jimin adds on.

"You need to shut your butt up and drink milk." Taehyung scowls.

"Milk?" Yoongi questioningly looks at Taehyung.

"Yes because I don't see him growing anymore." Taehyung answers, "A grandma once got him confused with her teenager nephew. And I kid you not, that was one hell of a moment."

Jungkook and Yoongi burst into laughter. "Jimin, that happened to you?" Yoongi looks at the pink-head.

"In my defence," Jimin raises his pointer finger, "I looked very young and I was in university that time."

"I apologise for breaking your defence but, that happened when you had passed university. Don't lie." Taehyung retorts.

"You will just not let me breathe in peace will you?" Jimin shoots Taehyung a glare.

"Well, I don't sense a lie there." Taehyung points at Jimin.

"How about we go for a trip or something?" Jungkook suddenly suggests.

"That sounds good." Yoongi says.

"I agree." Jimin joins.

"As long as Jimin is not driving, it works for me." Taehyung agrees.

"Well, then so it is. We will be going on a trip." Jungkook flashes his bunny-like smile.
