"No silver or no gold
Could dress me up so good
You're the glitter in the darkness of my world
Just tell me what to do
I'll fall right into you
Going under cast a spell just say the word
I feel your love"
Jimin woke up the next morning feeling extremely restless and grumpy. Crying the other night hadn't helped and he had a bad headache. Jimin decided to make some coffee for himself and maybe get some chores done. Jimin noticed that Taehyung had already left for work. He felt relieved that he would not have to face Taehyung early in the morning. Jimin was not ready to patch up just yet. Taehyung had behaved like an erratic child yesterday and he should suffer some more. Jimin chuckled at his plan. This was not exactly a Park Jimin approach to the problem it was more of a Min Yoongi approach.
Jimin face palmed himself and went to the kitchen. He noticed a covered tray on the breakfast bar, which was neatly arranged with a bowl of steaming hot milk and two other bowls filled with cornflakes and almonds exactly how Jimin liked his breakfast. There was also a card standing beside it which had Taehyung's handwriting on it.
"Let's make up."
Jimin rolled his eyes.
"Asshole" he muttered to himself.
Taehyung knew very well what Jimin liked but this time he expected a better apology than cornflakes. This time Taehyung would have to work his ass off. Jimin made himself coffee and a sandwich. It was different from what Jimin had everyday. Jimin always had green tea and cornflakes for breakfast but today he wanted to rebel.
Jimin decided to get some chores done. By eleven Jimin had already finished cleaning the whole apartment, laundry, cooking and every other work he could find. He even did Taehyung's half of the chores but still he felt restless. He could not concentrate on anything for a long time. Jimin decided to go for a walk.
Jimin had always liked Seoul. He had been born and brought up in Seoul. Jimin remembered that most of his friends at college would tell him that he was very lucky to be born in a good family in the city of Seoul and that part of his academic excellence had come from the availability of opportunities. They would definitely be in for a surprise if they saw Jimin now. The shell of a man he had become not a single reminiscent of the past remaining in him. After wondering for some time aimlessly Jimin involuntarily took the path to Seokjin's café.
Jimin thought that he definitely was a masochist otherwise why would he bring himself face to face with his bully. A part of him hoped that Yoongi wouldn't be there and he could quickly get a bite of the blueberry muffin. That thing tasted much better than the vanilla muffin ever did. Jimin entered the café. It was just half past eleven so the café was not that busy as it would mostly be at three when office goers would come for lunch. Jimin saw someone waving at him and that someone was none other than Jin. He stopped watering the plants and made his way towards Jimin.
- "Oh hey Jimin! You are three and a half hour early today."
Jimin looked at the older male who was wearing a pink apron over a pink shirt. Jimin had noticed that Jin was obsessed with the colour pink and he definitely rocked it. The older male was very good looking and could easily pass for a model. Jimin liked Jin. He always looked warm and nice. Jimin decided to try and make a conversation. What would he have to loose anyway.
- "Um... I was just passing by."
- "Well Yoongi isn't here today."
Jimin saw that Jin had a large smile on his face. Jimin did not understand why Yoongi's name was suddenly brought into the conversation. It was definitely not because of Yoongi that he came to the café at least that is what Jimin believed. He had been coming here even before Yoongi started working.
- "Well Yoongi is the barista who serves you the wrong order everyday."
- "So you know."
- "Yeah I do but the whole thing is just too cute. Yoongi did not want you to eat the same vanilla muffin everyday so he even came up with recipes by himself. I am the one who is in charge of the baking department but for the past month Yoongi has taken over it. He used to come here half an hour early before his shift started to prepare the muffins. My business is surely going to go down since he is not here."
Jimin choked on his coffee. Jin instantly came forward and started fisting Jimin's back to ease him. Maybe coming here was a bad idea. Why would Yoongi do something like that?
- "You are saying Yoongi bakes the muffins for me?"
- "Yes I am saying that."
- "Why would he go to such lengths to tease me?"
Jin's smile disappeared and was replaced by a puzzled expression.
- "Jimin I think you are making a mistake. Yoongi does not tease you. Yoongi is not exactly the most sociable person but he is very nice. He is just like a child. Don't go on his external appearance. Once you get to know him you will know what a beautiful human being he is."
- "Why are you exactly telling me this?"
- "Well I just wanted to. Oh here comes Yoongi."
Truly a few seconds later Yoongi entered the café with a large grin on his face. His eyes instantly landed on Jimin. Yoongi definitely looked surprised and so was Jimin. Jimin quickly finished his coffee and got up to leave. He had not expected the older male to come to the café. Wasn't this the first day of his work? What the hell was he doing here? Jimin was not in the mood to deal with Yoongi today.
- "Hey hyung! I see Jimin is here too."
- "Oh yes I am getting unexpected visitors today. Jimin comes two and a half hours earlier and look he is talking to me. He is so cute. Jimin can I adopt you? Yoongi you came too. Isn't it your first day at work today?"
Jimin and Yoongi looked at each other on hearing Jin's strange words. What the hell was Jin saying? Yoongi giggled looking at Jimin and Jimin felt himself smiling at Yoongi. He could not help it, it just happened. Jimin had smiled and that too after a long-long time.
- "He is like that. He basically adopts everyone who is younger to him. Don't mind him."
Jimin nodded his head at Yoongi. He seemed to grow fond of Jin. He was really nice. Yoongi turned to Jin to answer his question.
- "Hyung I have been at the studio since seven. My boss came up with an idea to form some kind of a duo including me and another producer Namjoon. I have been in the studio since then. Namjoon and I just took a break so I decided to come here. Can I get something to eat?"
Jin grinned at Yoongi. Yoongi had asked Jin the jackpot question. Yoongi knew that Jin disliked keeping anyone hungry.
- "Of course I will make something for both of you. Yoongi make Jimin comfortable."
- "Yes hyung."
Jin fastened his apron and went inside. Yoongi knew Jin would come up with something new and he could use the time to talk to Jimin.
- "So are you from Seoul?"
Yoongi saw Jimin's eyes widen at Yoongi's question. Jimin bit his lip and then answered Yoongi.
- "Yes. Um... are you too?"
- "No I am from Daegu."
- "That is quite far."
- "Yeah it is. I came here to try my luck in the entertainment industry."
- "Well you have succeeded. You are definitely talented."
Yoongi looked at Jimin and smirked. Jimin could guess that that smirk meant that something cocky was going to come out of Yoongi's mouth.
- "How do you know that?"
- "I..."
- "Yeah?"
- "Taehyung had given me the mixtape to get my opinion. I liked your tracks."
- "Really? That makes me so happy. Any song in particular?"
- "Tomorrow."
- "I love it too. That song is very near to my heart. It is practically my life story."
- "Mine too."
- "Sorry?"
- "Nothing."
- "Okay!"
Jimin was surprised. This time Yoongi was truly trying to make a civil conversation. This was definitely a change in Yoongi's attitude.
- "Jimin how old are you?"
- "I am twenty five."
- "Do you still paint?"
- "Not really."
- "Too bad."
- "Why?"
- "Well Namjoon gave me his tickets for an art exhibition in some gallery but I don't have anyone to come with me and I understand shit about paintings. I thought you might be able to come and enlighten me. Would you like to go?"
- ...
- "Listen Jimin I want to apologize for that day. I shouldn't have made you uncomfortable."
Jimin had not expected Yoongi to apologize and he was clearly taken aback.
- "I could try."
- "Really you could?"
- "Yeah... "
Jimin cursed himself. Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut.
- "So it is this Sunday evening that is day after tomorrow. If you want to go let me know. Give me your phone."
Yoongi extended his hand towards Jimin for his phone. Jimin was not exactly sure of the whole idea but anyway handed his phone to Yoongi. Yoongi punched some numbers into it and handed it back to Jimin.
- "So I will text you if you are fine with that."
- "You already have my number."
- "Well yeah. I just hate feeling like jelly in front of you."
- "Sorry?"
- "Park Jimin, you give me ventricular contractions and it kills me. If only you knew."
Jimin was extremely confused by Yoongi's words.
- "I can't understand you."
Before Yoongi could answer Jin came out with two plates of food. Jimin saw that Jin had cooked full meals for both of them. Jimin felt extremely shy eating everything.
- "Jimin don't think anything and just eat. Jin hyung is the best cook in Seoul. Trust me."
Yoongi winked at Jimin and dived into his own food. Jimin observed Jin scolding Yoongi for leaving the capsicums behind. Jimin smiled at the scene and dived into his too. The food tasted like bliss. Jimin quickly gulped down everything.
- "Hyung that was fantastic."
- "Oh Yoongi."
- "Thank you hyung."
- "Welcome Jimin."
Jimin took out his card and gave it to Jin for the bill. Jin stared at the card with a sad expression on his face.
- "Jimin I gave that to you as my brother not as my customer. You don't have to pay."
- "Hyung."
- "You called me hyung right so you don't pay here anymore. Leave both of you I will have customers soon."
Jimin got up and bowed to Jin and Yoongi and decided to leave. He was joined by Yoongi who had also bid farewell to Jin.
- "So how will you go home from here?"
- "I am not exactly a two year old you know?"
- "You are too innocent."
- "Sorry what?"
- "Nothing just take care. I will text you."
With that Yoongi smirked and crossed to the other side of the road and left for his destination. Jimin watched Yoongi's retreating form slowly blend in with the crowd. Suddenly Jimin had the urge to paint. Jimin wanted to paint Yoongi maybe the older male could give him permission to do so.
