When Jimin unlocked the door and gestured you to enter, you found piles of letters scattered on the floor. They were written by Jimin, all addressed to Grace. For a year, he wrote her letters everyday summing up the tales of his days. It was his way of coping up with her absence and to vent some weight off his chest.

He gathered all the letters and gave them to Yoongi.

"Burn these letters and throw the box in the lake. Y/N, Yoongi, I want you two to go.", Jimin ordered and you both complied, "This-be my farewell to her and from tomorrow I won't dwell upon the rough memories. I'll only cherish the blissful moments we shared."

Now that he was free of the bond, maybe a new beginning wasn't far away.

Days seemed to pass with ease since you gained a new companion.

God certainly had favourites and you could see the proof in form of Jeon Jungkook. Added to his good looks and kind heart, he was a great entertainer too.

No doubt there still lingered an awkward tension between him and your friends but you could observe him trying to ease back slowly.

Jungkook was a talker.

When a new group chat was formed including him, you never thought he'd be the one to send a bunch of hi, hey and hellos directed to all the individuals of group. And the streak continued, he'd seemlessly send memes and videos in the group, causing the notifications to dinge up at ungodly hours of the day. First, no one bothered to reply him except you. Your heart was too big for you to ignore him, specially when you saw him trying. But nowadays you would witness some poppy conversations in the group and you no more had to intervene, even for the sake of courtesy.

Jungkook was a flirt.

But not with you. Often, you would see girls swarming around, wherever he'd go. Why not, he was total package, as others said. You'd see them holding onto his biceps for dear life or running hands through his chest. Girls flirted and he flirted back with one liners, some of which you accidentally heard and cringed hard upon.

You were fine with that, except you were not. You damned on the fact that soulmate bond decided attack you with all might and the man in act remained unfazed. Indeed, Jungkook was God's favourite.

"Y/N!"

You pretended to not listen and maintained your pace. But Jungkook was quick to catch.

"You didn't really hear or are you ignoring me?"

You looked at him uninterested, "You're like an attention seeking puppy. What do you want?"

Jungkook sulked with a pout, "I wanted to share some good news. But someone's being snappy."

"Out of all the people you wanted to share some news with me?", you quipped back, "Why?"

"I don't know, you came to my mind first.", he replied sincerely, "I even went to library but you weren't there--"

You perked up, "How did you know I stay up in library at this time?"

He was caught off-guard, "T-That doesn't matter, now will you listen?

"What other option I do have?"

A smile etched on his face and he jumped on feet happily, "Coach Shin said that there will be a championship game between best eleven of our university and Sogang University. I got into the team along with Jimin and Yoongi, of course they're part of winning team so---  are you eve listening?"

You nodded casually and all of a sudden your face morphed into something which Jungkook found very amusing. 

"Jungkook", your smile whiplashed Jungkook and he almost gasped, "I'm so happy for you guys. Such a great news, oh my god I can't believe...."

You brimmed with enthusiasm and made calls. For which you missed the starry eyes that Jungkook was directing at you.

The gentle breeze stirred the leaves. 

And people stirred along streaming in their busy lives. The pleasant weather gave hopes and joy to the people walking on the street. One such person was Kim Seokjin.

"I still have an hour in my hand.", he smiled glancing at his wrist watch, "I shall stop by Kreme."

He crossed the road and walked towards his favorite café. 

The doorbell dinged alerting the counter attendant of his arrival. 

"Welcome Seokjin.", the girl behind the counter smiled at her favourite customer, "Long time no see."

"Hey Ena!", he greeted happily, "I headed out early to crash here today."

"That's so typical of you.", she glanced at computer and back at him, "Your usual?"

"Yes", he propped his elbows on the desk & rested his face on his palms, "Where's the other guy, I forgot his name... The one with big eyes, good physique...uh brown hair and tattoos--"

"Jungkook?", Ena quirked her brows and stacked the bills on the stick, "He's at the backend as always. He rarely works at the counter but why? Card or cash?", she asked and Seokjin extended  the card, "Do you want me to call him?"

He shook head, "I was just curious.", he gently tapped the table and murmured to himself,  "I see the possibility of us meeting in near future."

Suddenly, he got a whiff of some fragrance, most like of flowers. Sitting inside a café, where all the aroma one could get is of food, this must be rare--

"Ena, do you get that smell?", Seokjin asked, "Of some flower?"

Ena laughed, "All I can smell is ketchup and mustard. I bet all can."

He pursed his lips in a line, "Is there any flower shop nearby?"

"Oh yeah. There's a new flower shop that was inaugurated two days back.", she looked through the glass windows and pointed, "There! Taehyung, it's his shop. That boy is interesting."

This picked Seokjin's interest, "How so?"

"He has vast knowledge regarding flowers and he'd just take a glance at you and name the flowers which are or would associate with you in future. Like some special power, I don't know."

The corner of his lips tugged upwards as Seokjin stood from the tool he was seated on, "Get my order ready, I'll be right back."

He finally understood that his waking up before the alarms ringing, having no coffee powder left in the kitchen cabinet and wish of crashing at Kreme's wasn't entirely his doing, fate played with his routine again.

Stepping out of the café and crossing the street lead him to threshold of Taehyung's shop. The boy was indulged in cutting stems of the plants while murmuring to himself. Seokjin could feel the aura, similar to his.

Taehyung seemed to notice the new visitor as he abandoned the scissors in his hands & walked out, also scrutinizing the man.

"Lily, Chrysanthemum ?& Peony.", he commented casually before extending his hand towards Seokjin.

For Seokjin, his eyes blew wide and tongue got tied. The flowers mentioned dragged him back to the bittersweet memories.

Taehyung cleared throat and his hand fell to side, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."

Seokjin smiled, "Oh that's fine. It has been long since I've seen those flowers, I generally tend to avoid them. Except for peonies which I don't know, how did you associate it with me?"

"Lies in your future.", Taehyung hummed, "as well as mine too. We'll---"

"--meet again.", Seokjin quipped playfully, "And when that happens, tell me about yourself. I gotta go now.", and with that he ran back to the café.

"Wait...", before Taehyung could say anymore, he was gone already.
