Jungkook's voice resonated with happiness as he pointed towards the shop, his excitement palpable in the air. With a nod, Yugyeom followed him through the sliding glass door of the newly discovered shop, curious to see what treasures awaited inside.

Today was a special day for Jungkook, marking one month since he began his job. With his first salary safely tucked away in his pocket, he was determined to make it memorable by shopping for Taehyung, a gesture filled with love and gratitude.

"This one," The shop, while not as extravagant as the ones Taehyung frequented, held a charm of its own. For Jungkook, it was the perfect place to find something special for Taehyung, a token of his affection crafted from his hard-earned money.

Yugyeom observed Jungkook's radiant smile and the sparkle in his eyes; his admiration for his friend was evident in the way he silently wished he could possess even a fraction of Jungkook's joy.

As they reached the section adorned with colorful sweaters, Jungkook's enthusiasm was tinged with a hint of uncertainty. He turned to Yugyeom, seeking reassurance in his choice of gift. "Do you think a sweater would be a good gift for Hyung?"

"It's the thought and the sentiment that matter, Jungkook. If he's a good partner, he'll cherish whatever you choose for him," Yugyeom offered his wisdom, his gaze softening as he observed Jungkook's unwavering dedication to Taehyung. In the brief time they had been friends, Yugyeom had noticed Jungkook's transformation whenever Taehyung was involved, a testament to the depth of their bond. The guy, Kim Taehyung, was lucky.

Jungkook's heart swelled with gratitude as he absorbed Yugyeom's encouraging words, each syllable melting away his worries like snow under the warm sun. With a nod of appreciation, Jungkook delved into the array of sweaters before him, his gaze skimming over the colourful lines until it landed on a delicate baby pink sweater that seemed to call out to him.

Without even touching it, Jungkook felt drawn to the shirt, its soft hue igniting a sense of warmth and comfort within him. Imagining Taehyung enveloped in its gentle fabric, Jungkook's excitement surged, his fingers tingling with anticipation.

Yet, a nagging doubt lingered in Jungkook's mind. Taehyung rarely adorned himself in colourful attire; his wardrobe was predominantly composed of darker shades. But the image of Taehyung in the baby pink shirt stirred something deep within Jungkook, igniting a flurry of butterflies in his stomach.

Determined to make the purchase, Jungkook hesitantly checked the price tag, his heart sinking slightly at the sight of the hefty price. While he couldn't recall ever spending on something so expensive for himself, the thought of gifting something special to Taehyung overshadowed any concern about the cost.

Lost in his reverie, Jungkook was jolted back to reality by a tap on his shoulder. Turning to Yugyeom, he was met with a look of surprise and confusion directed towards the counter.
