Who's the devil ?

16

Jungkook had just settled into his living room, the quiet of his house enveloping him as he picked up his phone absentmindedly. His fingers danced over the screen, opening Instagram without a specific purpose in mind. As he scrolled through his notifications, something caught his eye—a message from Taehyung, sent about a week and a half ago.

His heart skipped a beat as he read Taehyung's words, realizing how much he had missed in those days. Taehyung's message, though written days ago, felt like a lifeline, a connection to the Boy he had been longing to hear from.

 Jungkook's lips curved into a soft smile, his heart swelling with affection. He immediately typed out a response, fingers tapping eagerly on the screen.

As Jungkook anxiously waited for Taehyung's response, his heart pounded with anticipation. Seconds felt like minutes as he stared at his phone screen, his mind racing with a mix of excitement and nervous energy. When the notification finally appeared, he practically jumped in his seat, eager to read Taehyung's words.

Jungkook's eyes widened with delight, his face breaking into a wide grin. He grabbed his keys in a hurry, his excitement barely contained.

The prospect of meeting  Taehyung after what felt like an eternity, sent a surge of happiness through Jungkook. He couldn't contain his excitement, his mind already racing with thoughts of the conversations they would have.

The engine of his car roared to life as he drove towards the coffee shop, each passing minute bringing him closer to the reunion he had been eagerly anticipating. The familiar streets blurred by as he navigated his way, his mind filled with thoughts of their past conversations, their shared laughter, and the comfort of Taehyung's presence.

As he parked the car and entered the coffee shop, Jungkook's heart raced. He scanned the room eagerly, looking for the familiar face that meant the world to him. And there, he spotted Taehyung behind the counter, his smile lighting up the entire cafe.Their eyes met, and in that moment, all the distance and time apart melted away.

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

"Uhm.. You are back! "

"You are quick Jeon, I didn't know you were coming!"

"Oh Shit! am I that obvious ?"

"Indeed"

"I just..I just wanted to see you.."

"Humm.."

For a moment, time seemed to stand still as Jungkook looked into Taehyung's eyes, searching for any hint.

Jungkook's own feelings of longing and missing Taehyung suddenly felt validated, acknowledged by the very person he missed the most. His voice was soft, almost disbelieving, as he responded.

 "Tae, I... I missed you... More than you know. It's... it's ..."

A genuine smile graced Taehyung's lips, a reflection of the same sentiment that echoed in Jungkook's heart. 

In that moment, surrounded by the familiar scent of coffee and the sound of laughter from nearby tables, Jungkook couldn't help but believe that some connections were simply destined, and theirs was one that time and distance could never truly diminish.

"Would you like a Coffee?"

"Whatever you want me to have I don't care.."

"You are weird tonight!"

"Yeah I know..Anyways how was your aunt is everything ok ?"

Taehyung's smile faltered for a fraction of a second as his mind wandered back to his mother, Hwang, and his aunt. A shadow passed over his eyes, his expression momentarily clouded by the weight of his thoughts. Quickly, he composed himself, hiding the turmoil beneath a practiced mask of normalcy, not wanting Jungkook to notice the pain that still lingered in the depths of his heart.

"uhm ..she wa fine, just missed me and yeah..so you do Instagram huh ?" 

"I was surprised! you're the one who sent me an apology"

"I was desperate" chuckled Taehyung "but I was surprised you are the one to use it at first place"

"why is that Kim?"

"I don't know I thought rich people didn't use these things"

"Huhm..doing it again Kim huh? how did you get my username anyways?" asked Jungkook raising one eyebrow.

"Noona gave it to me! she gave me a headache, didn't stop scolding me to what I did"

"let's exchange number" asked Jungkook firmly

"What? something is defiantly wrong with you tonight"

"Give me your phone!" 

Jungkook playfully snatched Taehyung's phone, a mischievous grin on his face, as they engaged in a playful bickering. Taehyung's breath came out fast, he pouted in mock protest as Jungkook claimed victory. 

With a grin, Jungkook dialed his number, his fingers moving swiftly over the screen. Taehyung watched, half annoyed and half amused, as Jungkook saved his contact under the playful name 'My Jeon.'

"Oh, come on, really? 'My Jeon'? You're insufferable, Jungkook."

Jungkook, wearing a triumphant smile, shrugged nonchalantly, clearly enjoying his victory.

"I ll call you My Kim. How does that sound ?"

Despite his feigned annoyance, Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at Jungkook's antics. 

 "Fine, My Jeon. Just don't expect me to take you seriously when you call me that."

"I ll Take you home, when does your shift ends?"

"Noona.."

"You two can  leave, I ll be just fine." answered Hyojoo walking from across the shop greeting customers that just left. 

"I ll be by the parking lot"

As Jungkook patiently waited, he glanced at his watch, realizing that about 10 minutes had passed since Taehyung went to retrieve his bag and have a brief conversation with Hyojoo. Anticipation bubbled within him, and he couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and impatience.

As Jungkook spotted Taehyung approaching, his face broke into a wide, genuine smile. Without hesitation, he opened his arms wide and enveloped Taehyung in a warm, tight hug.

Taehyung felt a surge of surprise, His mind raced with questions, wondering what might have prompted this sudden display of affection. Taehyung pulled back slightly, his eyes searching Jungkook's face for any clues.

"Is everything okay, Jungkook? You seem unusually... affectionate today."

"You smell good.."

"I smell Coffee.." With a light laugh, Taehyung playfully nudged Jungkook.
