Short Stories: Velvet Desires! (Taekook)
Coffee Shop! #1
“Some moments aren’t meant to be staged—they’re meant to be stumbled upon, like finding love in the warmth of a coffee shop and the laughter of someone who feels like home.”
Morning at the coffee shop!
The coffee shop buzzes with the hum of conversation, the gentle hiss of the espresso machine, and the scent of freshly ground coffee.
Taehyung stands behind the counter, skillfully crafting a latte, his smile as warm as the sunlight streaming through the windows.
The bell above the door jingles, signaling a new customer.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
(without looking up, his voice cheerful)
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Good morning! What can I get started for you today?
Jungkook walks in, his leather jacket slightly damp from the morning drizzle.
His dark eyes scan the shop before landing on Taehyung, who is focused on frothing milk.
Jungkook’s lips twitch into a small, almost shy smile.
Jeon Jungkook
(calm, but with a hint of playfulness)
Jeon Jungkook
The usual. Black coffee.
Taehyung finally looks up, recognizing him immediately.
He offers his signature smile, which never fails to make Jungkook’s heart skip a beat.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Ah, the man with no frills. Coming right up! 😁
As Taehyung prepares the coffee, Jungkook watches him silently, noticing the way Taehyung’s hair bounces slightly when he moves and the concentration etched on his face as he pours the hot liquid into a cup. Taehyung slides the coffee across the counter.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
One perfectly boring black coffee.
Jeon Jungkook
Boring, huh? I’ll take that as a compliment. (Chuckle)
Jungkook places a folded napkin next to his cup, leaving it deliberately within Taehyung’s line of sight.
Taehyung raises an eyebrow, curious but too polite to pry. Jungkook lifts the cup with a nod and makes his way to his usual corner table.
Once the morning rush dies down, Taehyung finally unfolds the napkin.
Napkin Note: Your smile made my day.
Taehyung feels his cheeks warm.
He glances at Jungkook, who is busy flipping through a notebook, completely ignoring the fact that he might have just made Taehyung blush.
Another Morning, Same Routine!
The next day, Jungkook walks in at the same time, rain droplets clinging to his leather jacket.
Taehyung greets him with an even brighter smile.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Let me guess, black coffee? (says teasingly)
Jeon Jungkook
(pretending to think)
Jeon Jungkook
You know me too well.
This time, as Jungkook waits, Taehyung tries to steal glances at him.
There’s something mysterious about the way Jungkook carries himself—reserved yet confident.
Jungkook leaves his payment and another napkin before heading out.
As soon as the door closes, Taehyung unfolds the new note.
Napkin Note: The latte art today was a masterpiece.
Taehyung bites his lip to suppress a grin, wondering if Jungkook is simply kind or if there’s something more behind these notes.
By now, Jungkook’s visits have become the highlight of Taehyung’s mornings.
He anticipates the notes and even begins to save them in a small tin box under the counter.
This time, Jungkook leaves a napkin that reads:
Napkin Note: You light up this coffee shop like the sun.
Taehyung clutches the napkin, feeling his heart flutter.
He sneaks a glance at Jungkook, who meets his gaze and smirks slightly before returning to his coffee.
Taehyung’s mind races, wondering if he’ll ever find the courage to confront the mysterious man who keeps brightening his days.
