IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY..!! 🤭🥳

Thank you so much for 27k+ reads 😭💜
I'm really sorry for not updating regularly...
I was a bit more busier than I thought.

Ok... let's get to the chapter...

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

"I shouldn't have come with you. I knew something will really happen. What are we going to do now?"
Jin shouted on the top of his lungs causing Namjoon to just sit there and mentally slapped himself.

Namjoon's car was broke down and both of them were sitting inside the car in the middle of the road and since it was too late, they can't find any mechanic nearby. They did called one but it was already been thirty minutes but still no sign of anybody coming for them.

"I'll just check..."
Namjoon finally got down from the car and opened the hood of the car while Jin was still sitting inside the car with arm crossed.

Just then, rain started pouring.
Jin thought Namjoon will run inside the car but he didn't. Jin peaked his head to the window and there he saw Namjoon was still standing and concentrating on checking the car, all soaked in rain.

Namjoon was cursing himself for being like that everytime he's with Jin. For once, he wanted to be perfect in front of Jin but he always end up being clumsy or something else would happen for sure.
And there he was, still standing in the rain like a fool, trying to fixed the car that he surely knew he couldn't. He wanted at least to drive Jin back home in time safely. His hands started to freeze from cold, he couldn't even open his eyes properly because of the heavy rain pouring over him.
But suddenly, he couldn't feel the raindrops hitting over his head when it was still raining. He lifted his head up just to find a black umbrella he used to keep in his backseat over his head. As he traced his eyes through the handle of the umbrella, his heart felt a flip inside his chest when he saw Jin standing beside him with the umbrella.

"Please get inside. You're going to catch cold if you keep standing here. Let's just wait for them to come here."
Jin spoke up with his eyes somewhere, ignoring the stare from Namjoon who kept his eyes fixed on him.

"What's this? Is he worrying about me? Did he just cared that I would catch a cold? Leave that... he looks even more handsome now."

"Kim... Namjoon-ssi..??"

Namjoon's train of thoughts were cut off when Jin called out his name.
"Y-yes..??"

"Are you really going to stand here still? Aren't you feeling cold?"

"It's ok... I just wanted to drive you back home in time... I'll just---"

"Kim Namjoon-ssi... Please get inside."

Namjoon could just nod and got inside the car followed by Jin.

Silence took over the whole environment, only the sound of raindrops slapping the car roof could be heard.

Namjoon was trying to keep himself from shivering since he was still in his wet clothes even if the AC inside the car was still on. His fingertips started to feel numb with cold until he felt a warm comforting hand over his cold shivering hands. He looked up just to meet with Jin's eyes staring at him worriedly.

"Hope it helps. My hands are quite warmer than yours I guess."

Namjoon was... well... he felt like he was in heaven. It was the first time Jin spoke to him calmly and the fact that his warm hand was holding his hand and comforting him had already sent him to the edge of the world.
Their bodies felt the cold atmosphere yet felt the warmth from each other's heart which was whispering to their eyes to never leave each other.

"Excuse me sir?"

They heard a knock on the car window and soon they pulled out each other's hand as they tried to look elsewhere except each other.
Namjoon slide down the glass and saw a man standing who kept apologizing for making them wait for too long.

Namjoon drove to Jin's house after the car got fixed. He was still feeling embarrassed for earlier that he couldn't even say anything.

"Thank you for today Kim Namjoon-ssi..."
Jin smiled at him as he unbuckled his seat belt and got down from the car.

"I... I'm really sorry for always causing trouble everytime... I just... You might have been thinking I'm such a---"

"I don't think of you as anything else or whatever but a really responsible gentlemen but... yeah... just a bit clumsy."

"Ah..." Namjoon smiled awkwardly.
"Yeah... I agree that I'm clumsy. But... I can't help it..."

"I know... but that's what make you a human and... more cute?"

"Huh..? Human and what?"

"Uh... It's nothing... Good night Kim Namjoon-ssi... Thank you for the car ride... and... for a lovely moment..."

Namjoon was left wonderstruck as he watched Jin smiling at him before he entered his house.
What..? Did he just said... a lovely moment..? And... wait... did he just smiled at me?
Namjoon quickly got into the car and started driving back home but the back of his mind was filled with the last words Jin just told him a few minutes ago....

Jungkook plopped down on his couch after a tiring seminar. He took out his phone from his pocket and unlocked it as his lips unconsciously curled up into a wide smile when he saw the notifications on his phone screen.

Go home safely and take rest... 😊💕
Saranghae 🙊 (15 minutes ago)

Jungkook was welcomed by the messages from Taehyung and he couldn't help but smile yet felt sorry for not picking up his calls in time. He could imagine the pout on Taehyung's lips he might have made when he didn't pick up his calls.

"Jeon Jungkook-ssi... You have a guest."

Jungkook was snapped to the present when he heard his door knocking. He put his phone and sat on his chair after he gave the permission for his guest to enter his room.

"Jungkook-ssi... It's been a while."

Jungkook looked up from the paper on his hand.
"Doori-ssi?"

"Yeah... Didn't expected to see me here?"
Doori smiled.

"Ah.. It's not like that. I heard you went to abroad... so... didn't really expected you to be here this quickly."
Jungkook said as he got up from his chair.

"See...? I was right that you didn't expected to see me here. And you're not even offering me a seat Jungkook-ssi..."
Doori crossed her arms and pouted playfully.

"Oh... I'm sorry. Please have a seat here."
Jungkook smiled as she sat down on the couch.

"Hmm... I just came back today but I have to go again soon. I actually came to meet my dad but he's not here... so just wanted to visit you too while I'm here and to tell you something... that... I got a boyfriend from there. I think you were right when you said I'll get someone who really loves me. He's a good guy and takes good care of me. We both have same taste on almost everything. So... I just wanted to thank you."
Doori said with a smile as a red color blushed over her cheeks while talking about her boyfriend.

"Why you would thank me Doori-ssi... You deserved to get the best man in the world. You should know that you're really a nice and kind person. In fact, I'm more reliable to thank you for understanding me. I can't imagine how to thank you for what you did for me."

"Well... then... let's just say we're even now. But speaking of that... how's your relationship with him? Is it doing well? He seemed to be really nice guy."
Doori said as she crossed her legs with her elbow resting on her thigh with her face on her palms.

"Ah... yeah... we're doing good and yeah... he's really sweet."

Doori could see Jungkook was blushing.
"Then... You said he kind of forgotten about you being his childhood friend... Does he still think that you're still some other person?"

"Well... it's a long story. He already know who I am."

"Woahh... So... so many things happened while I'm gone hmm? Is it really impossible for me to catch up with your story with him?"

"Well... it's not like that but it's kinda quite of so many little things. It may take a bit longer time to explain."

"It's ok... I like long stories. Well... don't you think we should exchange our phone number? So that we can be in touch. I can't tell when will I come back and meet you like this."

"Of course."
Jungkook smiled as they exchanged their numbers and soon a female staff knocked the door to inform that Mr. Lee has back from the meeting.

"Well... I'll be off since my dad is here. Oh wait..."
Doori came closer to Jungkook's ear.
"Don't you think you should propose him? I'm sure you want it too. I can help you if you need any help."
She noticed Jungkook was getting shy when mentioning about proposing Taehyung.
"Are you blushing Jungkook-ssi? Oh my god... you must have love him so much hmm..? Aww... I really want to meet him and yelled at him how lucky he is."

Doori was laughing when she saw how Jungkook got shy and she would be lying if she deny shy Jungkook looks the cutest. Since she was grown up in western country and already had her own company in USA, she was more open minded. She took Jungkook as her only close friend in Korea since she was not familiar with any other person.
"Jungkook-ssi... I never knew you would look this cute when you're blushing. I'm sure your boyfriend would have fall for you more if you do like this in front of him. Come on... Don't hide it... it looks cute on you."

Jungkook could just laugh along with her out of embarrassment but... they both stopped their laughs and snapped their heads when they heard a dropping sound of something just to see Taehyung standing by the door. A box was on the floor while Taehyung was still standing unmoved.

He came to surprise Jungkook after his meeting with his client. He heard Jungkook had a seminar so he thought the other might be tired and need something to lighten up his mood and even bought a small cake for him. But it looked like Jungkook doesn't need it anymore. He felt awkward standing in front of them, more awkward that the girl was Jungkook's ex fiancee and they were laughing happily.
Is this why that he didn't pick up his calls?
He surely knew that Jungkook would never cheat on him but he couldn't just think straight. Was it that he felt jealous? He didn't want anyone to come closer to Jungkook. Call him over possessive, call him weak or oversensitive but he just couldn't handle when someone gets closer to his Kookie. He hung his head down trying to hold his tears while biting his lower lips and fidgeting his fingers.

"Oh... Kim Taehyung-ssi?"

Taehyung looked up and gave her a smile that he tried his best to pull off trying to hide his embarrassing tears.

"I really wanted to meet you too. I hope you're doing good. And ah.. Jungkook and I--"

"Lee Doori-ssi... Mr. Lee is asking for you."

Doori was cut off by a staff and she just took her last goodbye and went out of the room with the staff leaving only the two in the room after giving Jungkook a knowing wink which Taehyung surely did noticed and even Jungkook blushed.
What is going on?
Taehyung didn't even move from his spot.

"Tae... I--"

"Is this why you didn't pick up my calls?"
Taehyung didn't understood from where did that skipped from his mouth which he shouldn't... that he eventually regretted saying it after seeing the shock look on Jungkook's face.

"What?"
Jungkook moved closer to Taehyung.
"What are you saying baby?"
He reached out his hand for Taehyung but Taehyung suddenly back off and started tearing up.

Jungkook suddenly wrapped Taehyung in his arms pulling him into a tight hug as he patted his head gently.
"Why are you like this baby..? Hmm..?"
Jungkook brought Taehyung towards the couch and made him sit on his lap as Taehyung wrapped his arms around his neck, burying his head on the crook of his neck, still sniffing.

"Why were you laughing with her? Are you two that close?"
Taehyung finally spoke within his sniffs making Jungkook to laugh out loud.
Taehyung raised his head and gave small hits on Jungkook's chest.
"Why are you laughing now? Do I look really silly?"

"Tae... baby... Are you jealous?"
Jungkook smirked as he tried to hold his laughter.

"No..."
Taehyung huffed and turned his face crossing his tiny arms above his chest which was just making him look more cute to Jungkook.

"No..? Ok then... I should talk to her more. She's really sweet. She even can make jokes too. She---"

"Stop..!! Ok... I'm jealous..!!"
Taehyung hit Jungkook's chest again and pouted.

Jungkook couldn't help but just cooed at Taehyung's cuteness. God he looked even more cute when he's jealous.
He caressed Taehyung's face gently and peck his soft pouting lips.
"You know I love only you right?"

"I know..."

Jungkook smiled and ruffled Taehyung's hair.
"You look more cute when you get jealous like this. Should I make you more jealous?"

"I won't talk to you if you do that. And yeah... I would get jealous even over a fly if it comes near you."
Taehyung said as he wrapped his arms back on Jungkook's neck and rested his head on his chest.

"Ok... I'll have to go out with a net if you're going to get jealous even over a fly then..."
Jungkook smiled as he wrapped his arms around the tiny waist.

"Yes... I'll buy you a nice net."
Taehyung giggled as he imagine Jungkook going to his office with a net in his black suits.

Jungkook could just chuckled and hugged the male on his lap more tightly giving soft pecks on his head. Then his eyes landed on the box Taehyung dropped on the floor.
"Tae... What's in that box?"

Taehyung suddenly snapped his head up and quickly got down from Jungkook's lap and rushed towards the box.
"Oh my god... your cake... it's spoiled..."
Taehyung started to form another pout as he sat down on the floor near the cake.

"Cake?"
Jungkook slowly sat down next to Taehyung and carefully opened the box and saw the cake was already spoiled.
"You bought cake for me?"
But what made Jungkook to cooed more was that the shape of the cake was a bunny hugging a tiger cub but it was already spoiled and he could only understand the figure abruptly.
"Hey... look here..."
He made Taehyung to look up with his finger on his chin.
"It's ok... hmm...? Thank you for coming here for me..."

"But I wanted to give you that cake... not to the floor."

"It's ok... we can make a cake just like that together at home... is that ok?"
Jungkook smiled as he poked Taehyung's nose making him giggle in the cutest way.

That's when Jungkook realized for the nth time in his life that Taehyung is the most precious person to him and the one for him that he wouldn't hesitate to risk everything just to see him smile.
Taehyung was that one special person in his life who would make him the happiest and also a reason for his happiness too.
