It was the morning after Jungkook's mini breakdown and he found himself standing in front of his mirror for twenty minutes straight. The apology for his lashing out went perfectly fine and the hyungs just gave him a big hug and said he was doing what anyone else would've done.

Why was he standing in front of his own reflection for twenty minutes, you may ask?

Well, he had the cafe/coffee shop meet up with Rensung today and he had no idea what to wear.

Sure, this wasn't a date of any sorts but when meeting new people, Jungkook liked looking pretty no matter what the circumstances were. He felt better that way. It also didn't hurt to make a better impression on this Rensung guy.

After another half hour of contemplation, the brunette decided on some overalls with an off-white striped long sleeve underneath.

The boy grabbed the outfit and ran into his bathroom to quickly shower and put on some light makeup.

An hour passes and Jungkook finally emerges from the bathroom in his chosen fit for the day. His lips are a rosy pink and his hair is fluffy and curled. He tops his look off with his cur lila right glasses and some converses.

"Jungkook! Breakfast's ready!" Jin calls from the other aide of his bedroom door.

"Ah.. About that Hyung.. I've gotta get going.. like.. now or I'll be late." Jungkook replied, opening the door before bolting out of it.

"Nah uh, not so fast there Kook." The eldest said, gripping onto Jungkook's ear.

"Where are you off to? You never skip breakfast." He continued, slightly concerned.

"I'm just going to the coffee shop near uni. I'm meeting Rensung to return his jacket. I'll eat there, Hyung. Don't worry about me." The youngest smiled.

"Uh.. Kook? If you're returning the jacket, don't you need to take the jacket with you?" Namjoon asked, making his way out of the kitchen toward the other two.

"Oh shit!" The brunette said smacking his forehead and turning around to pick up the Gucci item and his wallet.

"Ok.." He took a deep breath.

"I've gotta go now. Thanks Hyungs! Bye bye~" And he was gone, running down the halls of their apartment and into the streets of Seoul.

By the time he made it to the cafe, Jungkook was out of breath and panting near the door. He had run for ten minutes and made it just on time.

After one more deep breath in hopes he could breathe properly, he pushed the cafe door open and was just about knocked out by the smell of coffee.

"How may I help you, Sir?" The woman working the cash register asked.

"Could I get a bottle of banana milk? Ooh and a strawberry cake pop."

"Of course. Would that be all for today, Sir?"

"Yup, thank you." He said with an small bunny smile as he handed her his credit card.

"Could I have a name for your order?"

"Jungkook."

"Alright Jungkook Ssi, your order will be ready in a few minutes, please wait over there." The woman directed, pointing to the end of the counter where the drinks and pastries were placed.

A few minutes passed and he heard his name called so he waddled over to grab his food.

"Hey uh.. She wanted me to give you this.." The man handing him his order said while also giving him a piece of paper and pointing a thumb towards the girl that took his order.

'You're really cute Jungkook Ssi.
Call me xxx-xxx-xxxx
- Jennie <3'

Jungkook looked at the paper with widened eyes and glanced over to the girl.

"I'm sorry about her.. She's just a little boy crazy.. and just crazy."

Jungkook laughed at that and after a brief talk, and an exchange of numbers that had Jennie fuming, the worker he now knew as Yugyeom had to continue his job and excused himself.

The brunette found a table and took a seat. He pulled out his phone to text Rensung that he was there but before he could press send a voice behind him spoke up.

"Boo!" Jungkook jumped at the surprise and turned around quickly, ready to slap whoever snuck up on him. To the unknown person's luck, Jungkook noticed who it was and didn't strike.

"Holy shit Rensung! Don't do that! That scared me!" He pouted.

"Sorry, sorry. You just looked too peaceful over here."

"I-"

"Order for Rensung!"

"Gotta go, Darling~" The older teased and went to grab his drink.

When he returned, Jungkook slapped his shoulder and threw the jacket at him after he sat down across from him.

"Ok I deserved that." He chuckled while Jungkook nodded.

"What'd you get?"

"Banana milk and a cake pop.. and before you call me a child, I just don't like coffee, ok?"

"I agree, too bitter."

"What about you? What'd you get?"

"Hot chocolate." Jungkook nodded at the other male's response and looked up for the first time. He looked at the mask covering the man's face and got curious.

"If you don't mind me asking.. Why're you wearing a mask? I mean.. It's literally covering everything on you face. Can you breath properly like that?"

"I.. uh-" The masked man began.

"Wait! Don't tell me you're an idol! Oh that'd be so cool! I've never been friends with an idol.. Well, Joonie and Yoongs are thinking about auditioning for a company but that's beyond the point.. Ooh if you're not an idol, is it like a big birthmark or something that you're embarrassed about? Believe me, I won't judge you, Hyung." He rambled.

"Uh.. Not exactly. I'm not an idol and my face is perfectly normal. I've just gotta keep my face hidden though, ok? I'm not going to go into details." He laughed.

"Oh-" Jungkook started but paused when he caught the older's eyes.

"Oh?" Rensung repeated, seeing the confused look on the younger male's face.

"Oh.. Uh, s-sorry.. You just looked.. really familiar for a second. Are you sure we haven't met before?" This had the masked male inhale a sharp breath.

'shít'

"Umm.. N-Not that I can remember. I'm pretty average so maybe you've just seen someone like me before, ha.." Jungkook just shook his head, convinced that he was just hallucinating.

The conversations flowed pretty easily and the two found many things in common. Jungkook has opened up a little about his life recently and Rensung shared a bit about his as well but Jungkook couldn't help but think that his new friend was being pretty careful with what he said.

The brunette brushed off such thoughts and by the end, the two decided to do this again a week later.
