Epiphany Coffee - TAEJIN

XIX. Miracle

Kim Seokjin opened his eyes slowly on this Friday morning. He needed few minutes to fully wake up, to be able to think properly of the day ahead of him. He ran an hand in his bleached hair. His hair was a mess on this morning, and he knew that he had to wash them. As usual, he woke up really early. So, he could have time to shower, to get dress, and to eat some breakfast. He sat on his bed with a light sigh. Soon, it was the end of the week. He felt a bit tired. Maybe he should think of closing the coffee shop for a day. To rest peacefully at home. He didn't like to close his shop. He would open it every day, not caring about his own tiredness. Yes, he was exhausting. His work was his dream. But he was still a human being. Working every day without any rest was tiring. He was sleeping well at night. However, sometimes, these sleeping hours weren't enough to fully recover. And if the coffee shop was close, Jimin wouldn't need to come to work. He could rest too. That was a win-win situation. He yawned loudly. He made up his mind. Next week, he would choose a day to close the Epiphany Coffee and sleep all day. He should do it on Tuesday. He needed a day or two to inform his regular customers. He hoped that they would understand. Most of his customers were polite and friendly, they would always smile at him and enjoy their time in the coffee shop. Unfortunately, some customers weren't that nice. They could be extremely rude, even offending. Jin tried to deal with them politely and patiently. He shouldn't get mad at customers. Even if they were disrespectful, he had to be caring, patient, polite. Always. This kind of rude customers were inevitable. Seokjin knew it. That's why he wasn't too affected when they would treat him, his employees or his shop badly. He would smile brightly and take care of all his customers the same way. But he had to rest too. So, he would inform them that he would be close next Tuesday. This was a good decision. He should tell the good news to Jimin too. The young dancer would be able to sleep a bit more or practice a bit more. For the last few days, he would either dance, work or sleep. He was so focused on his next audition that he would spend hours and hours in the practice room. And this seriousness and dedication were admirable for Seokjin. He was proud of the pink haired man. He truly hoped that his audition would go well. He took his phone to write a message to his cute employee, to tell him about his future free day. That was definitely a good idea. He was about to send the message when his heart squeezed. No, it wasn't a good idea at all. Because he needed one thing every day. One this that he could only find in the coffee shop. He needed Taehyung.

If he closed the shop for a day, he wouldn't be able to see his favorite customer. He wouldn't be able to hear his low, deep and sexy voice. Because, yes, Taheyung's voice was definitely sexy. Even when he was stuttering, even when he was unsure of his words, even when he was nervous. His voice was one of the sexiest Jin ever heard. His brother Namjoon also had a deep and manly voice, but it wasn't as attractive as Taehyung's. He felt his cheeks burning. Everything about the younger man was attractive, wonderful, magnificent. And the barista couldn't stand not seeing him, hearing him, talking to him for an entire day. It was impossible. Kim Taehyung became his oxygen now. He needed him to breath properly. He couldn't really think of closing his coffee shop. Not until he got closer with his sweet customer. Maybe one day, when they would be friends, he wouldn't need his shop to meet him anymore. But not for now. He hoped that one day, they would be closer enough to spend time outside of the Epiphany Coffee. Spending time together as friends, as lovers maybe. The butterflies awoke. Jin let out a deep sigh to calm his heart down. He shouldn't be thinking about that. He knew Taehyung was still shy with him. He was slowly opening up to him, getting more comfortable. They could almost call themselves friends. It was still too soon to think about any other kind of relationship. Even if Seokjin dreamed of holding the younger in his arms. Hugging him, kissing him, loving him. Because he fell in love with his cute and favorite customer. Which was extremely surprising for him. Jin wasn't the type to fall in love with a pretty face. Not that his past lovers weren't good looking. But he wouldn't fall in love without taking his time. He needed to know the other one perfectly, he needed to know him for more than a year. He needed to be certain of loving him.
