Chapter 1

Winter, what a beautiful season to live in, but also the most stressful and cold. Temperatures going down, enough so you freez half to death, whilst being in thick winter clothing. It is also probably one of the rather busier seasons. People running around and trying to find presents and food for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, shops selling out on stock and students hanging on their last threads, trying to learn for exams that are all set before the holidays.

And in the mids of it all, was a rather broke university student, who was putting all his effort and money into his studies. He was sitting in a nice café, along with an elderly woman. Her hair was the same colour as his, a raven-like black, and their eyes matched each other's perfectly too. Both having brown doe eyes that had scintillating stars in them. You could say that the young adult, sitting at that table, was probably the spitting image of her, only having a few features that differ.

Both seemed to be talking about a serious topic, the raven haired male sitting obediently, sipping his hot chocolate as he listened to what the woman was saying. His eyes never leaving hers as a small frown filled his soft features.

"Jungkook, taking this job would be good for you. I can't always pay for everything.", the woman claimed as a soft sigh left her plump, pink, glossed lips, her eyes scanning her son as she looked at him, bearing a serious expression. Jungkook just sighed as he leaned his head back, he did not know how to react. If he took this job, he would have less time to study and that would mean his grades would drop. "I don't know, mum.", the boy responded as he sighed once again, a frown never leaving his face.

"Look, Jungkook. It's just babysitting my friend's daughter's son. You can put him to bed, whilst you just study the whole time he's sleeping and the time you take care of him is your break.", his mother stated with an idea that worked in the boy's favour, he would be studying and earning money at the same time. The idea itself had caught Jungkook's attention, was babysitting really that easy? He could study and earn money at the same. It did not sound too bad and if he disliked it, well...he could always quit, right?

"Fine. Tell her I'll do it and give me the mother's contact, but tell her about me first, not that she'll be completely creeped out and I won't have a job.", Jungkook muttered displeased to his mother, shaking his head and sighing dramatically. This was going to be a ride.
His mother only smiled brightly, her white teeth showing as her eyes crinkled. She was glad she had changed the boy's mind.

An hour seemed to pass by them as they talked about different things, not noticing how time flew by. The light, cloudy sky, diming down to darkness as the christmas lights outside shone brightly, filling the air with a christmasy atmosphere. A soft ringing of a cell phone was heard, interrupting the quiet talk his mother and him had had.

"Hello?", his mother's sweet voice spoke, after she picked up her phone off the table. A soft frown filled her face as she listened, her brows crinkling so that a frown was seen on her face. She hummed softly as she listened, her son waiting patiently out of respect. The woman sighed as she nodded to herself, seemingly forgetting that the person on the other line could not see her.

"I understand, I'll be there in 15 Minutes.", she answered, before hanging up. Her doe eyes staring at her son with a sad smile, "Sorry dear. Work called. It's an emergency.", she stated as she rose from her chair, her hair falling from her shoulder as her son slowly stood up as well, hugging his mother with a soft smile.

"It's okay. I understand, you're a doctor after all.", he claimed as he watched his mother nod with a soft smile, before picking up her things and leaving her son alone in the café. Jungkook sighed heavily as he watched his mother rush out of the café. This was a reason why he did not study medicine, he did not want to be called in suddenly to take a shift. It seemed too much of a bother for him and so instead he majored in art and music, taking business on the side. However, he did not know that studying these things would be so stressful.

Once again, he sighed as he picked up his things a soft chatting and laughing from a corner being heard. The raven haired boy only lifted his gaze for a second as he saw 4 boys sitting and laughing there but not before one of the boys nudged the other and whispered something in the male's ears. However, it was nothing the ravenette cared for. He was too shy to even speak to anybody or maybe it was simply because he did not care and so he just put his computer into his case, ignoring everything around him as he softly sighed ready to go. However, his breath hitched when he turned around, a handsome male with blue died hair standing there. His eyes were an onyx colour as they stared at the male in interest. The blue haired boy seemed to turn toward his friends in the corner one more time, before he softly smiled.

"You are pulchritudinous, so much so, that I have a fondness for you.", the onyx eyed male spoke as he spoke with a deep voice that sent shivers down the ravenette's spine. Jungkook looked at the male for a second as he heard soft laughs from the corner the male had come from. The boy just blinkt multiple times as he stared confused, his head tilting to the side as he stared at the handsome stranger, "I-...I am what now?!", he questioned with confusion. His angelic voice ringing inside of the strangers head, who only softly chuckled.

"Sorry. My friends forced me to come up with a cheesy pick up line with a word that nobody would really know.", the male laughed, his deep voice once again sending shivers down the raven's spine as he stared at Jungkook, who seemed to understand as he softly shook his head in disbelieve. "Well, I am pretty sure you just need to blink and you'll have people swarming you. I suppose what you said was a compliment, so I'll take it.", the raven haired boy quietly stated, his voice calm and collected as he smiled softly before grabbing his things.

"Have a nice day then.", he stated as he walked by the handsome stranger, who stared surprised at the boldness of the raven or more like of the angelic figure he had met. But the blue head could not let such a beautiful boy just walk away without knowing what he had actually said.

"Beautiful", he stated as he turned around quickly, the raven turning around with confusion as he listened intensely, "It means beautiful", the blue head once again claimed as he let his gaze fall toward the soft smile that lifted the angelic boy's face. His eyes crinkled with fondness as he softly bowed as a thank you, before turning away and leaving. The blue head staring in awe as he felt his heart swell up with joy. The male had caught his interest.
