Part- 2

The faint music in the background (for example Jamais Vu by BTS was currently adding to the mood in the cafe and when Jungkook had walked inside Crystal snow had been playing andd Jungkook could see the big smiles on the faces of the customers they were definitely pleased by the tracks which the owner had chosen), the lights, the aroma of coffee in the air the chatter of the people around, the smiling baristas, this whole atmosphere... Jungkook wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, especially his almost empty and quite cold dorm room.

So he sat down, across of Taehyung. whose name he still didn't know at the time. He was about to just drink his coffee, but his eyes were stuck to the beautiful stranger - the caramel locks, which were coveringparts of his face, the lips which were pressed into a thin line, the boy looked concentrated, as he was writing something in his book. Taehyung hadn't even looked up at Jungkook when he sat down and Jungkook was totally fine with that. More than fine actually, the less the attention he received - the better.

But strangely... he was itching to start a conversation with the othher.

Why?

He had no idea. So he did thelast thing he would usually do and actually wrote down a message to the boy, which was sitting across of him.

I have no reason to leave, you're quite entertaining! ^-^

Jungkook responded, after a while, Taehyung almost got scared that their conversation would just end there.

Wah, this looks like you!

What?

This ^-^...It reminds me of a bunny and you kind of look like one, so...

Was Taehyung once again being too much? He just compared someone to a rabbit, that wasn't something bad right? He just couldn't help thinking that jungkook looked like a bunny, especially when he smiled and his teeth showed.

Do you like bunnies?

Jungkook instantly scratched what he had written, but it was still visible and Taehyung once again ripped the note from his hands.

The boy was now hiding his face behind his hands and Taehyung smiled fondly at him, cuteness has always been bad for his heart. Taehyung was weak when it came to small animals and stuff like that so he was having a hard time coping with the adorable fluffball in front of him.

I'm more of a puppy person...

Taehyung wrote and he could see that Jungkook was peeking, so he could read the message.

But yes, I like bunnies a lot

The boy seemed relieved to read that and once again grabbed the small paper.

That's.. cool. How old are you though?

***Oh, I am your Hyung! I'm turning 21 this December!

Hyung... keke 😁 I turned 19 on 1st September***.

Daebak... "'love yourself: Her '" was released then! You know, "BTS's album"? I'm a huge fan!

***Ah, yes. I've heard it, it's nice.

Super nice***!

Teahyung corrected Jungkook's seentence, while chuckling.

***Where are you from, Jungkook-ah? Seoul?

No, Busan. I carne here to study

Me too. I mean I came here to study. I'm from Daegu though. Well, I was born there but I've lived in Geochang my whole life. It's pure heaven there***!

I like the countryside too, Hyung. It has a calming effect, being there, away from the noise and the big city It's like people forget about ther problems in such places and smile more.

Exactly! As I thought - great minds think alike.

Taehyung quickly wrote down and grinned at the younger boy.

***Anyway, what are you studying?

I'm majoring in photography. I've liked taking pictures since I was really young, so I thought... why not? It makes me happy, so I decided to give it a try. Ah, I also like drawing... I think I'm good? But... I haven't showed my drawings to anyone***.

A shriek left Taehyung's lips when the read the messeage and Jungkook was slightly puzzled and now the older's eyes were practically sparkling, which confused the boy even more.

Deep breaths, deep breaths.... NO! It's not working! Oh god, can I freak out now???

After reading what Taehyung had written down, Jungkook was even more lost, because of the other's enthusiasm.

Okay, Okay.. Iet me explain! What you just said - it's the same for me, though it's quite the opposite!

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, because the older's 'explanation' just confused him even more.

What?

Taehyung looked at the note (it was the fifth or sixth one already, they had written quite alot) and re-read his sentence. Okay, that definitely sounded better in his head.

I mean... my major is Fine Arts. Painting is what I truly want to do for a living. I think I'm good too? My favorite professor said he wants to include one of my paintings in a showcase. Ah, I'm not bragging! Just saying... and taking pictures is my second favorite thing in the world! So what I wanted to say is that - we have the same interests, though for me drawirng overpowers taking pictures.

This looked like a complete novel, compared to their fist messages and Jungkook took his time, while reading. He was surprised that he and Taehyung were bonded by the same passions. His hasty decision to start a conversation with the older turned out to be one of the best things Jungkook had ever done in his life, he was actually proud of himself for taking the initiative.

I see, that's... awesome.

Taehyung could only laugh, because of the response.

You're not a man of many words, Jungkook-ah. But it's okay, this Hyung here talks too much anyway.

Jungkook usually replied like this - simply, shortly, without adding many adjectives or explaining much, but he was glad that Taehyung didn't mind.

***So... are you going to show me?

Show you what***?

Jungkook scribbled down, once again not understanding what the other meant.

You said you haven't showed your drawings to anyone, right? So, can you show me?

Jungkook bit on his bottom lip and squirmed on his chair, he looked pressured and unsure. He really wanted to show some of his drawings to Taehyung, but the older was majoring in Arts... what if he said Jungkook's drawing's sucked? Well, the boy was sure Taehyung would use a more subtle approach and not tell him directly, but still...

Seeing the hesitancy in the boy's eyes and the troubled expression on Jungkook's face, Taehyung decided to add something else to the note.

If you show me some of your drawings, I'll show you some of the pictures I've taken. i like taking photos of the scenery, landscapes and stuff like that. I'm fan of the black and white filter, so maybe you could even give me some advice and I could do the same for you?

Jungkook just stared at the paper for a few seconds before he grabbed his before he grabbed the pen.

Okay

The two of them continued meeting up.They had spent over two hours 'talking on that rainy Monday' and they exchanged numbers before leaving. They didn't really chat with each other during the time they were apart, just simple messages with - Good morning, I wish you a great day, Good night and things like that (Sometimes Taehyung even sent appropriate songs to Jungkook to make his day better and he surely did. Especially when he sent him songs in the night like 2!3! (by BTS). Just because they wanted to have more to share with each other whenever they meet.

Thankfully, their schedules were pretty similar and they spend the afternoons in the café. Taehyung mostly drank tea instead of coffee though, because he said that caffeine always made him too energetic and he was already quite lively without it. Jungkook had quietly laughed under his breath upon hearing that, because yeah it was true.

Taehyung learnt new things about the younger every time they met - like the fact that Jungkook also liked playing Overwatch, but Taehyung's ranking was much higher, he was a total pro at that game.

He was surprised to learn that Jungkook had an older brother, who was also an artist, but he mostly drew caricatures.

And felt bad when Jungkook told him that his parents were opposed of his dream. Well, not the fact that he wanted to pursue photography, but the fact that he wanted to leave Busan and go to Seoul all alone. Jungkook didn't seem pleased by the fact that his parents still treated him like a baby. He was already an adult and he needed independence. He has been living in Seoul for barely a month now, but he has been doing well so far, though the big crowds and the traffic were things he was sill trying to get used to.

Busan was quite a big city as well, but it couldn't be compared to the capital.

A/N: I ain't really good in writing stories but I really try, and I can't update because I am damn lazy!
