72. Sprinkle of Morsel
"Jimin! You're late again!"
Taehyung was ruffling his newly dyed sea blue hair as he held his phone close to his ears, barking over the phone at his pink-haired childhood friend who was late, again.
The two became two peas in a pot when the blue hair accidentally bumped into the pink head in a neighbourhood playground one day at the age of 5. It's been 15 years since then, the two have grown closer than friends, more like a family.
"Oh stop! I'm here, you're being dramatic."
Jimin laughed as he took his own phone apart from his ears, cutting the call as he pulls the chair in front of the blue head, sitting down in a new cafe downtown.
"Well, you gave me no choice than to chase your little ass to be on time."
"Wait, look here. First of all, the size of my ass does not comprise in anywhere near little and just as a matter of fact nor does my di-..."
"Ready to order boys?"
The pink head's convictive defends were cut short before he goes down south by a raven head.
"Hello? Ready to order?" The mentioned raven head waved his arms in front of the boys at the table when he noticed they stopped midway, not budging their eyes. Both Taehyung and Jimin froze like a popsicle.
"Um, yea, two lattes please." Jimin cleared his throat and closed the menu, giving it back to the raven head, assuming he is the waiter in charge.
"Alrighty, two lattes then. Be right up."
The raven head took the menu from Jimin and noticed the blue head boy was still half frozen, hence he politely took the menu off his hands and flashed a cute little grin before disappearing back to the counter.
"Earth to Taehyung? Hello?"
Jimin shakes his friend, laughing his ass off looking at how petrified Taehyung has gotten.
"Huh what?"
"Lol, calm your dick down Taehyung, you literally went to Egypt like a mummified pharaoh for a second there. Interested with the boy?"
The pink head wiggled his brow watching the state of embarrassment his childhood friend was getting into.
"Stop it Jimin!" Taehyung snapped Jimin's forehead, giggling like a lunatic himself, stealing another quick glance on the raven head who was busy tampering the coffee behind the counter while the cafe took a hustling turn, welcoming more customers.
"So, how's life being a first-year medical? I didn't see you for like for two days dude." Jimin said as he placed his elbows on the table, resting his face in between the palms of his hands.
"Gosh Jimin, you sound like a lovesick puppy and FYI, WE ARE NOT EVEN DATING. IM SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE." Taehyung threw his hands in the air, rolling his eyes playfully with his friend's joking demeanour.
"Cool, so do I stand a chance?"
Taehyung was about to snap another nasty comment at his pink hair friend when he notices a cup of latte being placed in front of him by gentle tattooed fingers.
Damn, how did he not notice the delicate tattoos on each knuckle of the man's hand earlier? Oh, that's right, he was busy staring the face of this hand's owner instead.
"With pleasure, his number is 628168615, he likes late-night calls and lots of sweet messages. You're welcome."
The blue head's eyes bugged out its eye socket, not believing what his trustworthy friend just did. Taehyung gritted his teeth and narrowed his look at Jimin.
"Sweet, will take note on that....?"
"Jimin. And this is Taehyung. Again, you're welcome."
The raven head smile and dipped his head in a sign of thank you to Jimin before turning back on his heels, away for his customer's calling.
"Before you shout at me, I need to pee." Jimin really needed to use the gents and what more perfect time to escape before his friend erupt like a volcano.
The pink head quickly stood on his feet, searching for the gents when he accidentally bumped into someone.
"Ouch! I'm so sorry.."
"Hey, it's ok."
Jimin was so sorry that he saw a bag of fresh-baked muffins sprawled on the floor, spilling the content after the accidentally encounter.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry, I ruined your muffins...wait? Are they blueberry muffins? They are my favourite."
"Wow there, stop. Yes, they are and I said it's fine. I will get a new one."
Jimin finally took his eyes from the sad spill on the floor to the man in front of him who dressed black from head to toe, a bunch of icy blond hair peeking out of his black cap. His entire outfit scream contrast in the highest intensity against his porcelain skin.
"Damn."
"Sorry what?" The icy blond male asks.
"No, urm, I mean, how about I replace those muffins for you?"
A small smirk turned up the corner of the icy blond's head. "Sure, lead the way then." The icy blond gestured Jimin towards the front display counter as they made small chats, growing strangely warm towards each other.
Taehyung who sat alone for a good 15 minutes turned around to locate Jimin and left speechless when he saw the pink head sitting on a different table with a dark clothed man, eating muffins.
"What? Urgh PARK JIMIN." Taehyung gripped his mug tightly, whisper yelled lowly, knowing every well his friend is doing it again.
The blue head is not pissed at his childhood friend coz he is used to having Jimin leaving him alone when he found someone he is interested in.
He is just irked that the pink head left him alone in a cafe, engrossed with someone else when they both were supposed to have a study session together instead.
"You need a company?"
Taehyung was interrupted by the same voice for the third time of the day when he was pulling out his iPad and anatomy book for revision.
"Huh?"
"I asked do you need a company? I see Jimin is busy over there. I'm done with my shift anyway." The raven head smiles sweetly.
"Urm..."
"It's ok Tae, I just asked for fun." The boy nervously rubbed the back of his neck, trying to save him the embarrassment from Taehyung's lack of words.
"S-stay, just over here." Taehyung gestured for the raven head to take Jimin's seat.
"Or better yet, you wanna go somewhere?" the raven head winked at Taehyung. Making the blue head fluster in his seat.
Taehyung was unsure on why this raven head looked so familiar and like a complete stranger at the same time? This is the very first encounter Tae has with the raven head.
The boy in front of him looked like a sin he is not supposed to commit but screw it, Taehyung is not a saint nor is he an angel, the heart wants what it wants. He took a look at the back of his shoulder and notice his pink head friend giggling happily with the black-clothed man.
"Ok, let's go."
Taehyung packed his bags in a swift, and zoomed out of the cafe, feeling delighted that he gets to ditch Jimin for the very first time. Giving the pink head a taste of his own medicine.
"I have a car, over the-..."
"Let's ride my bike instead."
"Huh?"
"Bike, over there." The raven head pulled Taehyung by his hand towards a shiny black Ducati on the lot, looking like a beast.
"I-I never..."
"It's ok Angel, you will be fine. You just hold onto me ok?" The raven head passed Taehyung a helmet of his size and mounted on the bike, roaring the engine start by kicking in the gear, turning the handler, creating a thunderous sound.
"Ok."
"Get on Angel."
"You're making me do things I have never done before, starting from ditching my study plans to riding a bike."
"Well, some says I am as tempting as the devil himself. Hop on Angel, I'll take you on a wild ride."
Taehyung's stomach did a freaking 360-degree flip, why is he feeling giddy with the nickname that the boy is using on him and the occasional wink at the end of his sentences?
The blue head took a second to consider, but decided to not give a damn as he followed the stranger on his bike to God knows where, holding close to his waist, inhaling his intoxicating musky scent, feeling the solid muscle on his abdomen while the said male cruise down the road, riding to an unknown destination.
This might be one of the craziest adventures that the blue head have done in all his life, but something about this raven head and bunny smile, makes him feel safe and familiar.
