Chapter 3

Orange Blossom [Haitus]

The sunlight streamed in through the windows in my room, lighting up the whole room. I opened my right eye and reached out my left hand to feel for where my hand phone was on my night stand, I press the lock button once and the screen lit up showing the time which was already 2.37 in the afternoon! I jumped out of bed and ran to the toilet not caring that I am making a lot of noise which could wake the others up. After rushing around and making my room look like a tornado had hit here, I was finally ready to leave the house. I had on a simple black long sleeve turtle neck and denim jeans as well as a white winter coat that reached half way down my thighs, I tip toed down the stairs so as to not wake Jiyoon and Jackson who had fallen asleep on the sofa. The shoe cabinet creaked open, *I need to oil this* I thought to myself as I pulled out my black leather boots from the bottom layer. I zipped up my boots that reached up to slightly above my ankles and took my car keys to the black Audi before closing the door to the hideout.

As I was driving on the snowy road I decided that some music as company would be good, my phone beeped signalling that there is a new notification. With my right hand, still on the steering wheel, my left-hand reach into the left pocket of my white coat and took out my phone. The screen lit up when I pressed the lock button and I saw that it was a news notification. I unlocked my screen to have a better look at the news article, it was the head line news. ‘Local Gang caught in the business of selling drugs, trials will be held within the week.’ I smirked to myself thinking *they'll be out by the end of the week* Beast is a group who has many connections everywhere in the world so they can afford to be reckless, it's not that we can't but my group prefers to be professional and keep things low key. I locked my phone and place it back into my pocket.

I reached a quieter part of town within the next half an hour, I drove all the way straight and made a right turn at the end. If you were an ordinary person you wouldn't know half the that goes down here, on the outside the place looks like a rundown alley but if you look closely at every turn every corner there are people hiding in the shadows guarding the place. I brought the car to a stop when I was nearing the end of the alley, I came out with the suitcase of money with my hands up. The people here know who I am but just as precautions you know, a female came up to me to check my pockets to make sure that I did not have any weapons on me. When I was in the clear, a door to my left opened allowing me to enter, the interior was a mixture or the colours black and yellow. I made my way down the hallway till I reached a big black door with yellow designs, knocking twice I opened it. In there, sat a man who had his arms around the waist of 2 women and a cigar in his mouth, I walked over and put the suitcase down onto the table.

"Sir I have brought the money"

"Minjung! How many times have a told you to stop calling me sir just call me Henry okay? After all your parents and I were best friends!" He exclaimed. I smiled bowing a little to show my respect "If there is nothing then I will take my leave now" with that being said I walked out of the room. When I got back into my car I turn the ignition and the car engine roared to life. I zoomed across town once again as I blast the music in my car, I was now headed to the small little cafe that I mentioned earlier just now.

I arrived safely at the little café, Little Town, and got out of the car before locking it. I entered the café and the smell of coffee hit me strongly. I walked up to the counter and ordered a vanilla latte with a side of macaroons, they had this macaroon tower which consist of the different flavours they offered here. Since I was alone I took the small tower which had about 6 macaroons, I found a cosy seat near the back of the shop. This was my favourite spot as it was quiet, the seat was comfortable and people don't really notice this seat. After a short while my drink and snacks were served, I took a sip of my vanilla latte and immediately I felt warm inside out. Smiling to myself I took out my turquoise coloured ear piece and stuck them into my ear before playing my favourite playlist. I didn't know how long a had been there but people gradually left and soon I was the only one left in the cafe, but I was too caught up in reading an online book to care about my surroundings.

 

Taehyung POV

"Hyung we'll meet you there okay?" Jungkook the maknae said for the umpteen time now.

"I get it kookie, now go and enjoy the celebration with the rest of them first"

"Come quickly before all the food is eaten up! Yah hyung that's my meat!" I could hear the squabble the boys were having before the line went dead. Yesterday we were successful in nabbing a group of local gangsters who got themselves into trouble by being in the drug business, even though we only managed to catch one out of two of the groups it was still a success. We were given the privilege to get off work early today and Jin hyung decided that we should go out for dinner together to celebrate our small success and just to you know, hang out and relax as brothers. But I told them to go ahead without me first, I wanted to drop by a café which sells my favourite cookies. My car halted to a stop by the road side when I saw the sign which read ‘Little Town’ ever since I discover this place a little while back when I was on a ‘mission’ I come back here every single week or at least I would try to come here at least once a week. The food and coffee here is just mouth-watering, I haven't had the chance to bring any of the boys here yet so as of now this is my little cosy place. I pushed opened the door which hit the bell that emitted a ringing sound alerting the staff behind the counter ,who smiled at me, I walked up to the counter and lift my head up to take a closer look at the café menu.

"Hi, can I have an ice blended vanilla with coffee please."

"Would you like it with whip cream sir?"

"Yes please."

"That would be $7.80 please"

I handed her my credit card and leaned against the counter while looking behind my shoulder, the cafe was empty and I was about to turn back to face the counter when this figure at the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned my body fully and smirked, "sir your signature please" I turned back to sign the receipt and took my drink in my left hand while I kept my credit card with my right. I strolled over to the back of the café and casually sat down on the seat opposite of where the figure I had seen earlier on now sat, I leaned forwards and rest my chin on my palm. The figure sat up straight at looked up at me like she was about to murder me, but within a spilt second her facial expressions change from murderous to a very cute and shocked one. I couldn't help but let a small chuckle escape my mouth.

"You should have seen your face" I said as I continue laughing and when I calmed down I swear to God I thought I saw her blush, I couldn't help but stare at her being flustered. There was something about her that made me very comfortable around her...and I like that. When she looked up we made brief eye contact causing my heart to jump a little.

"What are you doing here?" Her sweet voice spoke.

"I told you we would meet again didn't I?"

"So you stalked me here?" She asked leaning back against the chair and folded her arms across her chest, with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"What do you think?" I asked leaning on my palm once again while I sipped on my cold treat.

"I think that you sir have nothing better to do" she said copying my actions leaving our face only a few inches apart. Damn her eyes are really sparkly, soft luscious lips, high nose and a light shade of pink tinted her cheeks. How can someone be so pretty? I didn't even know I was staring at her for so long till she waved her hand in front of my face.

"Hello? Anybody in there?"

"Yea, I'm sorry." I said and rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly.

"So what are you doing here?"

"Coffee?" I said as a matter of fact while holding up my drink. "What about you? Do you come here often?"

"Yep, this is my favourite café. It's quiet, cosy, calming, I just like the atmosphere." She said looking around.

"Really? Me too, I come here whenever I have the time."

"So you having your off day from work now?"

"How do you know I work?"

"I naturally assumed. Am I wrong?"

"No you are not. What about you?"

"Me? I have flexible working hours. Since it’s your day off, don’t have plans with your friends?”

“I do. But they can wait. What about you? No plans?”

“Actually I do but I woke up late and the timing is all messed up so I decided to just hang out here for now, just so you know my friends are dead asleep. They’re nocturnal.”

“And you’re not?”

“I am fine with both if you must know” I replied which caused the both of us to laugh a little.

“What was your original plan though? Massage? Pedicure?”

“No, why would you think that? Are my nails that bad that I need to?” I shot back acting like I was bewildered and hurt while holding up my nails.

“I don’t mean it that way!” He frantically raised his hands and wave them in front of his face. “I mean, I don’t know. Just a guess?”

“Well Mr must know it all I was planning to go shopping for some clothes after I submitted some work-related things and after which heading down to a bar for a little drink?”

“Hey you know what? My friends and I are planning to visit our favourite bar later on, do you perhaps want to tag along?” I looked at him with an expression that says ‘really isn’t it a bit too soon?’

“Too early?” He looked at me shyly while rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

“It’s okay, though it is nice to have someone invite me out in the day. So… there’s a question that has been floating around in my head ever since we last met.” I asked a bit too seriously and I think it scared the poor boy.

“What would that be?” He asked in warily. I motioned for him to lean forward and I did so myself, my lips went dangerously close to his ear. Smirking, I whispered into his ear oh so gently. “What’s your name?” and went back to my seat smiling happily while the poor boy sat down there in shock with his eyes looking like they would pop out of their socket anytime soon. I couldn’t help but burst out laughing while clutching on to my now hurting stomach. “Hey! You startled me! I thought I did something grave” he shouted pointing a finger in my direction. “What did I do? I have no idea what just happened”

“Oh really now?” His voice suddenly went 3 octaves deeper shocking me. His voice is so y… wait, did I just really think that? What the hell is wrong with you! You don’t even know the guy that well and now you are saying that his voice is y? Pshhh all guys have a voice like this, and because I was lost in my own thoughts I didn’t not realise that he had made his way over to my right side but when I did it was too late. He grabbed my shoulder with both his hands and turn me such that I was facing him fully now, he had a smirk on and leaned his face closer to mine *He smells of mint* and whispered into my ears “My name is The multitalented and handsome Taehyung.” Now it was my turn, I placed my hand on his shoulder “Oh my poor boy you do know that the same trick I used on you just a few seconds ago wouldn’t work on me right?” He, or Taehyung as he said, stood up looking confused and trust me I was enjoying every bit of this. “Hey! That isn’t fair! I should have worked, I even planned out what I was going to say after I succeeded.”

“And what might that be?”

“Revenge is sweet baby?” He said a little unsure of himself.

“Are you serious now?” I asked with a ‘is that the best you got look’

“Okay maybe not but you get what I mean! What Woul-“  I guess he was about to ask me something when his phone rang. “Sorry I got to take this” He said as he looked at the caller ID. "Hyung" I heard him call the person on the other end of the call. "Yea, I'll bring it over later" with that he ended the call as he looked at me cheerfully, I realised that he has a very unique rectangular smile.

"Trouble at work?" I asked playing with the hem of my shirt.

"It's nothing. Oh now that you know my name don't you think it's fair that I know yours?"

"Well I'm craving for deokbokki with cheese if you can get it for me I'll tell you my name." I said playfully, I doubt he would get it for me though.

"Sure, wait here" Taehyung was about to leave when I stopped him.

"You're serious?" And he nodded his head innocently. "Okay then I want it from the store where I first met you"

"Okay wait here and don't run away. I’ll be back" I nodded and went back to reading my online book. Soon nearly an hour has passed and Taehyung is still not back, I sigh to myself, *I knew it was too good to be true. No guy that I just met would go to such extend just to know my name* I quietly started to pack up my things. I carried my bag and was about to stand up when I heard a voice, to be specific his voice.

"I thought I told you not to leave without me?" I looked with eyes as big as saucers. I was shocked, obviously, I seriously didn't think he would come back. "Are you going to sit back down or what?" He asked me while placing the cup of deokbokki with cheese in front of me. I sat down with a plop sound, still looking at V, I slowly picked up the chopsticks and started to eat it in silence.

"What aren't you talking? Can’t believe I actually went to buy it huh?"

"Did you run back here?" I asked gesturing to the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"I drove to town but half there was a jam so I ran a few blocks, but it's nothing so you don't have to worry." When he was in the middle of trying to clean himself up I extend my arm holding a tissue, trying to help him as well.

"Why did you do it?"

"Because you said that you would tell me your name if I bought you deokbokki" he said as a matter of fact.

"Why? Does knowing my name matter so much to you?"

"I genuinely want to make friends and not just because you’re pretty, that's just a bonus, but because it comfortable being around you. I like being around people who give me comfort and you have this warm aura around you."

"Oh... but you don't even know who I am. What if I'm not who you think I am?" I asked as I thought about what I do for a living.

"I am pretty sure you're a nice person and that's enough for me" he said chuckling and I just smiled back.

"So will you be willing to tell me your name now?" He asked and I retracted my hand back to my side. I smiled and replied "Minjung, Yoon Minjung"
