Chapter 3: Chatting on Post-It notes…

The bell chimed above Yoongi as he stepped into the warm and cozy atmosphere of the café.

The boy rubbed his hands together in an attempt to warm himself down. It had been especially cold today out there, the sharp winter air nipped onto his skin such that his nose and cheeks were tinted a bright red.

Yoongi blew onto his hands as he walked towards the counter, ready to request for a warm liquid today.

He didn’t care if he bought coffee again, it was so cold outside that all he needed was to wrap his hands around the warm To-go cup of his cappuccino, and let the warm liquid soothe his freezing figure.

“Hello! How may I help you?” Park Jimin beamed at Yoongi, a bright smile adorning his facial features.

And again.. if Yoongi’s cheeks were red before, they bloomed into a brighter shade, warmth spreading across the tips of his ears.

“Hey.. uh... cappuccino please? Tall! No sugar please.” Yoongi nodded towards the smaller boy.

“Mhmm..” Jimin trailed off, punching in his order as the older boy studied the younger’s features.

And Jimin looked irresistibly adorable! Yoongi smiled, finding the pink haired boys pouty lips and concentrated gaze unexplainably cute. He found it extremely difficult to stop himself from reaching over and pinching the boys chubby cheeks.

“Anything else??” Jimin looked up, eye smiles bright as ever, adjusting the black cap on his head closer to his pink hair.

“No, thank you!” Yoongi offered a gummy smile to the boy.

“Well then!” Jimin looked up from the cash register, “that would be 4500 won!”

Yoongi passed his card to the boy as the younger charged his drink onto it.

“Please have a seat! I’ll bring your drink to you soon.” Jimin passed Yoongi’s card and receipt back to him, genuine smile making its way to his face.

“Thank you.” Yoongi received his hard and the receipt back, carelessly stuffing it into his wallet.

Yoongi took a seat at the back of the café today, the warmth back there inviting his cold body.

He fetched his phone out of his pocket, checking a few emails and replying to them.

He then grabbed the notebook out of his bag, the brown leatherback notebook home to countless doodles and song lyrics.

Yoongi smiled as he thought of the boy behind the counter. Park Jimin. The pink haired boy who was always smiling bright as the sun, eye moons brightly beautiful on his face.

Yoongi started writing without thinking about it, ideas flowing out of his head as he expressed them with his pen.

A constant smile adorned his features, tiny yet noticeable. Yet yoongi had forgotten about his surroundings, eyes set on the cluttered words on his paper.

“Tall cappuccino!” Jimin exclaimed beside Yoongi, as Yoongi snapped out of his trance, slightly startled.

Yoongi looked up to the pink haired boy, as he set the tray on Yoongi’s table, gleaming.

“Enjoy your drink!” He exclaimed, Yoongi noticed he was trying hard to contain his smile, as Yoongi muttered a subtle “thank you..”

Yoongi picked up his drink at once, tossing his pen aside as he sipped onto the beverage, pleased moan slipping out of his throat as he swallowed the drink.

The cold and sweet beverage met Yoongi’s tastebuds, another moan of delight slipped out of his mouth as he smiled. But-

Cold...

Sweet....

Yoongi hadn’t ordered a drink that met the description at all. The older confusedly looked to his tall glass, the to-go cup not emitting warmth like he expected it to.

Yoongi looked up to the counter, confusion apparent on his face as he looked for the younger boy.

Perhaps he mixed up the order with someone else. Maybe it was a mistake, Jimin was after all human.

However, that would not explain the tall to-go coffee cup used instead of the usual plastic cups for shakes.

Yoongi looked down to his tray, aiming to keep his glass on to it and walk to the counter, pointing out that his drink had, in fact, been exchanged.

However what stopped Yoongi from doing so was a yellow post-it note, pasted on the brown tray.

Noticed how you would always make a sour face while sipping your coffee.. Trust me, it’s okay to not like coffee! For a change, hope you enjoy your vanilla milkshake!

-Jimin

Warmth... that’s all Yoongi felt spread across his chest as he read the note multiple times, Smile spreading across his lips, a tiny giggle escaping.

And even though Yoongi was thoroughly looking forward to the warm drink, he took a huge sip out of his milk shake looking up to the counter again.

Jimin stood there, smiling at Yoongi as he wiped the counters squeaky clean. The boy brought his hand up, waving to Yoongi from across the cafe as his eyes vanished into crescents. And again, warmth spread across Yoongi, wide gummy smile making its way to his face, as he waved back mouthing a thank you.

And yoongi decided, that this warmth was much better than the cappuccino would ever be able to offer.

When Jimin went around the coffee shop to clean tables later that day, he least expected what was waiting for him on the table Yoongi sat on.

The milk shake was amazing! Better than any coffee I’ve ever had! Thank you.. I hope we can be friends.

~Yoongi hyung.

Jimin smiled holding the note in his tiny hands. He hoped they could be friends too.
