CAFE LOVE

his soft pink hair bounces beautifully as the male adds a little skip to his steps.
the fluffy puppy in his arms snuggled up in his arms looking absolutely soft.

the puppy, a pomeranian, with black fur and brown accents and adorable features.
his owner, a kind hearted small bean who loves pastel colours and dogs especially his own.

walking into the cafe, the boy places a kiss on yeontan's, his dog, fur filled head before letting him into the floor.

"baby? that you?" a voice calls out.

"yes hyungie, it's me!" tae smiles, ruffling his hair gently and quickly fixing his oversized sweater of a baby blue.

wearing a sweater, the boy pairs it up with a pair of black shorts and some sneakers.
a simple yet innocently seductive look.

"i thought you weren't coming! tennie's off today." a blond walks out from the back wearing a black half apron.

"well here i am!" the boy giggles, bending down to allow the dogs to lick his fingers.

"cheese crackers you're so cute." jimin smiles, waltzing over to the entrance and flipping the sign over to say 'open.'

the bell of the entrance rings indicating a customer's arrival into the shop.
the younger of the duo peaks over and squeals excitedly at the sight of a familiar man.

"joonie hyungie!" tae giggles, rushing over to give the taller male a hug.

"hi taetae." the purple haired male laughs lightly, ruffling his dongsaeng's hair.

hearing the adorable giggles of his best friend, jimin swiftly walks out from the break room.
a bright smile carved itself onto his face once he sees the sight of his one and only.

"namjoonie!" he cheers, smile widening when he sees how namjoon's eyes light up happily.

"hey gem." the taller smiles, leaning down slightly to press a soft kiss on his forehead.

meanwhile, the pinkette gives some food to his precious baby, yeontan, as he watches the couple fondly and in jealousy.

"when will i meet my soulmate?" the shorter whispers to himself as he plays with yeontan's soft fur whilst sitting on the floor by him.

"hey baby ~" jimin coos, both him and namjoon smiling at the adorable sight of tae playing with yeontan in his lap whilst the puppy happily eats his food.

"y-yes minnie?" tae asks brightly, his eyes big and filled with wonder.

"gosh, he needs to be protected." namjoon mumbles under his breath, feeling the urge to keep the smaller safe forever.

"what's worrying your pretty little head? i've been calling you a few times now." jimin pokes the boy's head gently.

the shorter on the floor giggles shyly before quickly shaking his head vigorously.
namjoon smiles softly, already knowing what the younger is thinking of.

he kneels down in front of the boy who refuses to look at the two of them.
jimin gets the hint and smiles softly but sadly, following inhis boyfriend's actions.

"taebear, you'll meet your soulmate okay? don't be sad, it pains me to see you so down." namjoon says gently, lifting up the boy's chin with his pointer finger.

tae's eyes begin to glisten lightly.

"yea baby, we're here for you always. and i don't like seeing my best friend so sad. and i'm very very sure you'll meet your soulmate soon." jimin winks, placing a small kiss on his temple knowing fully well that namjoon doesn't mind.

"t-thank you hyungies." tae whispers, heart feeling a little bit at ease from their words that's filled with so much care and love.

"of course tae. now, let's get the doggies some food shall we?" jimin squeals.

"yes!" tae replies just as excited.

the store was beginning to get busier and busier and it didn't help that only the two of them were working, overtime.

"minnie ~ my legs hurt." tae pouts, hugging lightly as he plopsdown onto the floor.

"awe baby, i know, mine too. but look, the crowd is almost over." jimin smiles gently as he ruffles the younger's hair.

the pinkette peeps over the counter to see just namjoon in his little corner with a book and headphones on, a couple petting yeontan before walking out the door and a father and his daughter with another dog.

"okay!" the suddenly energetic tae giggles.

as lunch time arrives, jimin quickly attaches the sign 'on break' onto the door, the duo huffs loudly as they dramatically fall onto the floor.

yeontan waddles over to tae, licking his face as he settles onto the boy's chest.
sweet giggles escape the pinkette's lips at the love-filled licks from his furry baby.

"aigoo, joonie ~ lets have some lunch." jimin pecks the purple haired male's cheeks.

sliding into the seat beside him, namjoon smiles brightly, kissing the boy's temple.
just then, the door to the store rings.

"we're on break, please do come back in an hour." jimin says, looking towards the entrance to see a male the same height as him with fiery red hair that looks soft to touch.

"seok!" namjoon smiles, waving at the male to which the latter smiles awkwardly.

not paying attention to anything around him, tae finally looks up to see an attractive red head that managed to make him flustered.

"a-ah!" tae whimpers, clutching onto his left collarbone as he could feel tingles.

the red head also hisses softly as he holds onto his own left wrist, feeling tingles.
jimin rushes over to the younger, pulling him into a sitting position with yeontan beside.

"you okay bear?" the blond asks, gently removing his hands away from his collarbone to check his skin.

"t-taetae, you're t-tattoo, it's turned black." the boy stutters, in utmost shock and joy.

"m-mine too." hoseok voices out, the duo looking up to the red head showing his left wrist with black words.

"s-soulmates." both tae and hoseok whisper softly as their eyes gaze into each other's.

stepping closer, hoseok stretches out his hand to help his new found soulmate up.
shyly placing his hand into hoseok's, tae stands up with bright pink cheeks and the left side of his oversized sweater showing off his tattoo.

endless

tae looks over to hoseok's left wrist to see the words that perfectly connects to his own.

love

jimin smiles gently before facing namjoon, walking over to give the soulmates some privacy and to spend time with his own.

________________

soft giggles escape the younger's lips as the red head presses a gently kiss onto his temple.
hoseok waves the boy goodbye as he exits the shop to hurry back to work.

"so ~ when's the wedding?" jimin asks causing the younger for blush harshly.

"minnie! s-stop it!" tae whines, playfully hitting the older's arm.

"kidding! how is he baby?"

"he's amazing hyung. i couldn't wish for a better soulmate. he's so kind, and so breathtaking and his eyes are so captivating and gosh minnie! his smile in is the shape of a heart!" tae gushes, his eyes sparkling excitedly as his cheeks blossom a pretty pink.

"really now?" jimin smiles fondly.

"yea! and he calls me his little sunshine! and seokie's gonna take me on a date right after work!" tae giggles, butterflies erupting in his tummy causing him to smile shyly.

"i'm so happy for you tae." jimin says, caressing the boy's heated up cheek.

"t-thank you minnie."

- time skip -

"ready to go sunshine?" hoseok asks as soon as he pops his head into the store.

"yes!" tae squeals, quickly giving both namjoon and jimin a hug, running over to hoseok.

the boys smile shyly at each other before bidding goodbye to namjoon and jimin.
yeontan snuggled up in tae's warm chest as hoseok pets his head gently.

before leaving, tae whispers a soft 'thank you' to namjoon because it was his lunch meeting with hoseok that caused him to meet his soulmate.

"where are we going seokie?" tae asks, looking up at hoseok in curiosity.

"we're going to the park angel. i know you're tired after working so much today, so a relaxing date will do." hoseok smiles, wrapping an arm around the younger's waist to lead the boy across the road and to the park.

the open area filled with large, friendly trees with various beautiful coloured flowers.
walking over to a shady tree, hoseok sits down and it's the space beside him.

"come babes." he smiles, tae sitting down as well, allowing yeontan down.

the puppy wags his tail excitedly, letting out a loud, happy bark before walking over to the duo to jump into tae's lap, licking hoseok's hand that was resting on tae's knee.

"you're so perfect." tae whispers, leaning over to rest his head on hoseok's shoulder.

"how so sunshine? as far as i know, you are, not me." hoseok smiles, now intertwining his and tae's fingers together with yeontan falling asleep in the pinkette's lap.

"because you're so caring, and kind and you're everything i wish my soulmate to be. possibly more." tae blushes.

"well angel, you are my perfect little baby too."

looking up and into hoseok's eyes, the duo could feel their cheeks heating up, turning a soft pink as their eyes sparkle.

leaning in, their lips touched and everything seems to disappear as they only focus on each other, in their own little world.

their lips move against each other beautifully, as if they were made for each other.
pulling away, tae makes the move of pecking the older's lips once more to satisfy his urge.

"you're so pretty." hoseok mumbles.

"seokie ~" tae whines, hurrying his face into the crook of the red head's neck.
