A lazy afternoon

The afternoon class felt particularly boring for Jungkook, mindlessly staring at the professor in front of him, who is probably teaching him something important.

But that's not what Jungkook wanted to pay attention to. It's been 2 years since he turned 18, and by this time he has to have some clue about the whereabouts of his soulmate. Or at least a hint that his soulmate existed.

Cause for the past two years, Jungkook has never seen any doodles appearing on his skin out of nowhere and he's slowly losing hope in finding his soulmate.

Most of his friends have found their soulmates by now and he's happy for them, yes he is. But it would be great if he also found the one for him. When Namjoon heard Jin making up a tune and singing the lyrics he wrote in his hands, Jungkook could see the glow both of them had on their faces. And for once Jungkook wanted to know that feeling. He is tired of waiting.

As if on cue, it started raining, the sky darkening along with Jungkook's thoughts. He got out of the lecture after a few minutes, walking down the hallway, out into the parking lot waiting for Yoongi to join him, only to receive a text from the latter saying that he's already waiting for Jungkook in the café.

"Min Yoongi already in the café by 3 pm? Must be something bad."

Jungkook pulled on his hoodie and ran to the nearby cafe that he and Yoongi frequented. Jungkook entered the café to see a Yoongi with a grim expression, already on his third cup of coffee.

"What's up hyung? You look peachy," to which Jungkook earned a high pitched groan and a smack to his hand from the elder.

Jungkook saw Yoongi hesitating a bit before showing his wrist to the younger. It was a tattoo of a cute little coffee cup.

"Hyung I didn't know you loved coffee that much to get it tattooed on you. It looks great hyung."

Yoongi covered his face with both hands before mumbling an "it's not mine" to Jungkook.

"What do you mean it's not yours hyung? Or did someone doodle on their body." Jungkook teased.

But the silence followed by his question made things clear for Jungkook. Seems like Yoongi is going to find his soulmate soon.

"Can you believe my soulmate tattooed a coffee cup on his wrist? And I heard that tattoos are permanent on both you and your soulmate's body. Out of everything a coffee cup?"

Jungkook knows that he should be happy for his best friend, but he felt a kind of heaviness in his stomach that seemed to be weighing him down. He couldn't even listen to Yoongi ranting about his soulmate being selfish and not even considering his liking. But he somehow managed to pull up a face that seemed interested in listening to Yoongi.

Days passed by and yet Jungkook still had no idea where his soulmate was. Not that he has actively participated in finding the one. Yet he tried his best by doodling on his arms or his palm sometimes, searching for anyone with a matching drawing on their hands. But all was in vain.

It’s been two weeks since Yoongi started working in the café they always went to, since semester break started and he had nothing better to do. And Jungkook is here sitting in front of the counter chatting away with Yoongi while sipping on his coffee.

The bell chiming interrupted the friends, bringing in a new customer. He asked for a pastry, scrolling through his phone while waiting for the order. Just as Yoongi was about to give him the pastry, he felt his whole world being stopped.

Yoongi took hold of the customer's hand earning a harsh pull from the latter and a very defensive "let go" to which Yoongi didn't give an ear.

"When did you get this tattoo?"
