Short Stories: Velvet Desires! (Taekook)
Coffee Shop! #5 [End]
Jungkook stands under the same oak tree in the park, pacing slightly.
In his hand is a carefully arranged bouquet of daisies and sunflowers—simple, cheerful, and very much like the barista who’s stolen his attention.
His leather jacket feels a little too warm, and for the first time in a long time, he feels… nervous.
Then he sees Taehyung approaching, still in his coffee shop apron, a light dusting of flour on his cheek.
Jungkook can’t help but chuckle at the sight, his nerves melting away.
Jeon Jungkook
You didn’t even have time to change? 😂
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Didn’t want to keep my biggest fan waiting. 😏
Jungkook offers the bouquet with a shy smile.
Jeon Jungkook
These are for you. Thought they’d suit your vibe.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
(taking the flowers, his cheeks flushing)
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Daisies and sunflowers? You’re trying to make me blush, aren’t you? 💓
They walk to a cozy café nearby—Taehyung’s choice, of course—and settle into a quiet corner.
The conversation flows easily, both of them leaning into the shared warmth of the moment.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
So, why photography? What made you pick up a camera instead of a paintbrush or something?
Jeon Jungkook
(pausing thoughtfully)
Jeon Jungkook
I like capturing moments. Things that feel… fleeting. Like your smile, for example.
Taehyung sputters, his cheeks turning pink as he fumbles with his coffee mug.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
(laughing nervously)
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
You’re really laying it on thick, aren’t you?
Jeon Jungkook
Just being honest. It’s not my fault you’re so photogenic. 😏
In return, Taehyung quizzes Jungkook about his favorite shots, his dream projects, and eventually flips the script.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
What about you? If you weren’t a photographer, what would you be?
Jeon Jungkook
Maybe a barista.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Oh, please. You’d spill milk everywhere. (snorting)
Jeon Jungkook
Hey, I’d look great in an apron. 😗
As they leave the café, the conversation turns to lighter topics—embarrassing childhood stories, dream vacations, and quirks that make them laugh.
Walking back through the park, Taehyung stops to admire the city lights reflecting on the nearby pond.
Jungkook, seeing the moment, instinctively pulls out his camera.
Without a word, he captures Taehyung mid-laugh, his face lit up with joy and his hair tousled by the evening breeze.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
(noticing the camera)
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Hey! I wasn’t ready! 😤
Jeon Jungkook
You don’t need to be. It’s perfect just the way it is. 😏
Taehyung tries to grab the camera, but Jungkook holds it high above his head, teasing him mercilessly. They’re both laughing as they fall onto a nearby bench, breathless from their playful tussle.
As the evening winds down, Jungkook walks Taehyung back to his apartment. They stand at the doorstep, the air between them filled with a soft tension.
Jeon Jungkook
I had a great time tonight. (hesitating)
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Me too. Same time tomorrow?
Jeon Jungkook
If you let me take more photos of you. 😁
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Only if you let me pick the next café. 😏
They exchange a warm look, and as Jungkook turns to leave, Taehyung calls out.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Jungkook?
Jungkook turns back, eyebrows raised.
Kim Taehyunb (Barista)
Thanks for the flowers. They’re my favourite now. (with a shy smile)
Jungkook chuckles softly, giving Taehyung a small wave before disappearing into the night, leaving behind a warmth that lingers long after he’s gone.
Later that night, Jungkook uploads the candid photo of Taehyung to his private gallery, labeling it “Sunshine in the City.”
It becomes one of his most treasured shots, a symbol of the night their story truly began.
