Blue & Brown (Taekook)
Episode 1: cafè borahae
Jungkook came home with stained clothes. His white shirt were no longer white, and his pants doesnt look like one either. There's dirt, mud, paints and food stains on him, and he looks filthy.
Mrs Jeon
Jungkook, what happened to you? Why is your uniform dirty? Look at you..
Mrs Jeon
Its not, Jungkook. Come on, look at me. Tell me what happened honey,
Jungkook
The kids threw things at me for being a freak..
Mrs Jeon
Why are they calling you that, you are not...
Jungkook
I am mom. Nobody had weird eyes like me. It looked ugly, and monstrous and...
Jungkook cried, wiping his tears.
Mrs Jeon
Oh honey i'm sorry you had to deal with all of these. But you are not a freak. You are gifted and unique. You are not any less human with those beautiful pair of eyes.
Mrs Jeon hugged Jungkook for comfort. It pains her to hear this almost everyday where Jungkook complains of being bullied by his schoolmates. Everytime they tried transfering him to another school, the same thing occurs again to the point that Jungkook care less about changing schools. He promised he'll study well despite the bullying and thats the only thing matter
Jungkook
But you and dad dont have them. Why me?
Jungkook
Why am i born different?
Mrs Jeon
Gifted Jungkook. Not everyone has them. And maybe, you are the only one in the world with such pair of blue and brown eyes. Chins up and be proud of who you are.
Jungkook
Well, at least they work fine..
Mrs Jeon
See.. its better to see you smile with those eyes.
Mrs Jeon
But if your eyes work fine, why do you keep on wearing those glasses? Doesnt it bother you?
Jungkook
Im fine. Its just that, people keep staring at them and i dont really like it. At least i could hide my eyes a little with this..
Jungkook
Even the teachers...
Mrs Jeon
Its okay. Keep them on if you want to. But remember, you always look better without them. You had pretty round eyes Jungkook, i love them.
Jungkook
What would i do without you mom..
Jungkook sobs, holding his mother tight in his arms. Perhaps one day, he'll grant his mother's wish. But for now, he wont take those glasses off wherever he goes.
His alarm clock rings for the sixth time and when Jungkook peeks at the time, he's fucking late.
Jungkook jumps out of bed, running towards the bathroom and gets into a quick shower. He's done in ten minutes and dries himself before getting into his regular attire. Its Monday, and they are free to wear anything they like under the cafe's uniformed black apron. And Jungkook appreciates that rule because Monday mornings are always hectic.
Jungkook is finished in getting ready and head to work.
Yoongi
You are late...AGAIN
Jungkook
The traffic was pretty bad..
Yoongi
You took the subway here 🙄
Jungkook
Yeah but its Monday and the traffic is just insane
Yoongi
BUT YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP BY THE TRAFFIC.. WHAT THE FU
Jungkook
Yoongi, its Monday. I appreciate you for not making it any worse. Go have a coffee or something please, you are way too worked up on such a lovely day..
Jungkook
And its only 9am for fucking sake
Yoongi
Someday, im going to make you got fired on Monday.. maybe you'll remember me and my kind heart for letting you go this time
Jungkook
Thats very nice of you. Here, eat up.
Jungkook stuffed yoongi's mouth with a ham sandwich he just made real quick.
Yoongi
You are stealing the cafe's foodㅡ
Jungkook
Hyung, oh my god 😒 stop being such an ***
Yoongi
I said what i said..
Jungkook
I feed you breakfast so you would shut up.. but you just became a whole chatter box and wont stop nagging at me..
Jungkook
And where is my thank you for feeding you?! You ungrateful littleㅡ
Yoongi
Im going to fire you..
Jungkook
No..yoongi come on
Yoongi
Its Yoongi hyung-nim, my dearest boss
Yoongi
Okay, this will be your last Monday here 😌
Jungkook
OH GOD YOU ARE SO ANNOYING
Yoongi
I am the owner of the cafe after all 🤷🏻♂️
Jungkook
Fine yoongi hyung my beloved boss... there, happy? Now can i please eat this sandwich in peace? Im starving
Yoongi
Fine. Only if you add that up in the menu for today. Its pretty good thoughㅡ
Jungkook wears the cafe's black apron as he gets the menu ready. He cuts the cakes and put them back in the clear case with all the pastries that are freshly baked for today. The tables and chairs are all organized and they are ready to open.
There are a few customers lined up at the front door. Most of them orders the breakfast value set that comes with a beverage together with a food of their pick. Jungkook and Yoongi both had their hands busy handling the orders.
A few of them starts to flock in and occupy the seats. The cafe now smells like freshly brewed coffee and buns, that its starts to make a better Monday for everyone.
Jungkook
Hello, good morning. May i take your order please?
Jungkook
Would you like to have them warm or cold ones?
Customer
Who the **** drinks cold americano in the morning 😤
Jungkook
So you prefer the warm ones then.. anything to add?
Jungkook
That'll be 8,000 won
Customer
.. thats too expensive
Jungkook hands him the warm americano in a take out cup.
Jungkook
Enjoy your drinks sir.
Customer
Wait, dont i get food too?
Jungkook
Oh? Did you ordered for food too? I thought you only wanted the drinks..
Customer
What the ****? Dont i get the set with 8000 won?!
Jungkook
No sir. That's a different price list
Customer
Did you just scammed me?
Jungkook tries to explain the menu set lists but the man starts to shout at him, and pointing fingers up to his face
Customer
YOU FUCKING SCAMMED ME YOU ALIEN EYED THING
Yoongi
Is there a problem sir?
Yoongi takes over the counter, pushing a shaking Jungkook to the side and gestures him to rest and let yoongi take over
Customer
This ugly eyed kid trying to cheat me
Yoongi
He explained it to you nicely..
Customer
Yeah but his eyes is distracting me. Just fire him for fucking sake!
The man who stood behind the shouting customer peeks in, waving for attention as he speak,
Taehyung
There's a long line behind you and we have work to attend. Just like this man who you called names and insulted him.
Taehyung
Are you going to pay my wage if im late to work?
Taehyung
You cant even afford a 12,000 won set meal
Taehyung
You wont stop until you get that food arent you?
Taehyung
Give him a sandwich please, i'll pay.
Jungkook
Uh..yeah, okay. Ham or eggs?
Customer
Uh..i'll take theㅡ
Taehyung
Just fucking give him anything. He doesnt have the right to choose here after being so rude..🤨
Jungkook
Here. Eggs are good for you.
Taehyung
Now, apologize to him
Taehyung
I said.. fucking apologize to the man who you insulted
Customer
Why do you even care so much-
Taehyung grabbed the man's collar and pulls him close to his face, fist clenched tight ready to punch
Taehyung pulls his glasses off and stare at the man who were shaking up in his hold
Jungkook
They are the same as mine...
Episode 2: Blueberry pie
Heterochromia iridis is a rare condition where a person has different coloured eyes from each other.
Although its pretty rare, Jungkook never imagined he'd saw one with the same pair of colours as his own.
Jungkook
Can i get your order then? Im sorry for the long wait
Taehyung
Its fine, dont worry. Glad that man stop bothering you
Taehyung
And i'll get a chamomile tea, make it warm. And blueberry pie, for two.
Jungkook
Oh, someone's joining you? Their drinks?
Taehyung
What would you like for a drink then?
Jungkook
What? Oh.. i do reccommend our freshly brewed coffees though. If you are into caffeine..
Taehyung shakes his head, still laughing.
Jungkook is just utterly confused at this point
Jungkook
What do you mean?
Taehyung
Im not bringing anyone with me, but i would like you to join me for breakfast. If thats okay..
Only then that Jungkook realize what the man had meant
Jungkook looked at Yoongi
Yoongi
Go ahead, i'll take the orders. Not too long though..
Jungkook
Thankyou boss-nim 😚
Jungkook then ordered a caramel macchiato for himself and takes the tray of food to the man who sit at the corner of the cafe, next to the window pane. And the way sunlight beams onto him makes him glow, beautifully.
And Jungkook realized how gorgeous the man is.
Jungkook settles down at the chair next to him.
Taehyung
And sorry for taking your time like this, especially when you are working
Jungkook
Its fine. My thank you gesture for handling that rude customer.
Taehyung
I'm Taehyung by the way, Kim Taehyung. And you?
Taehyung
I see. Pretty name as well. It fits you
Embarassingly, Jungkook felt his cheeks warm a rosy pink by the compliment
Jungkook
And you are not any different
Jungkook
You do look like those greek gods and you act like one too
Taehyung
Greek gods 😂 thats new. I always got called a freak as far as i know
Taehyung
Yeah. All the time
Jungkook
Arent you tired? Of them calling you names?
Taehyung
I do. But somehow, i dont really care anymore
Taehyung
Because i found you
Taehyung
At least i know, im not a freak anymore. Because i found someone with the same condition and im glad im not the only one
Jungkook
Well, i do think so too
Taehyung
Were you born with it?
Jungkook
Yeah. But my parents dont have them
Jungkook
I wouldnt really call that luck
Taehyung
Trust me, you are.
Jungkook
Were you born with it too?
Taehyung
Thats a story for another day
And Jungkook nod. Drinking his coffee in silence.
Jungkook noticed how Taehyung wears almost everything brown as he asks,
Jungkook
Do you prefer brown to your liking?
Taehyung
Oh? That obvious?
Taehyung
Yeah, lol. I do actually
Taehyung
And let me guess,
Taehyung
I love them. Electric blue hair
Jungkook
Glad it didnt look freaky to you
Taehyung then looked at the time. Contemplated, he excuse himself
Taehyung
Jungkook, i really wanted to stay a little longer but i've got things to attend
Taehyung
I appreciate your company
Taehyung
And i hope we can talk again some time
Jungkook
No problem. Its okay. I'll be here if you need me
Taehyung
Thank you so much. I love the blueberry pie though, its wonderful
Jungkook
And thank you to you too, likewise
Taehyung stood up and leave.
Yoongi
Did you got his number?
Yoongi
I let you on a FREE rest? And you came back without anything?? Not even his number?
Jungkook
You're interested in him???
Yoongi
No, dumbass.. its for you
Yoongi
Dont tell me you are not interested in him
Jungkook
I'm not.. i guess
Jungkook
And he isnt as well
Yoongi
As if your eyes dont flash when you see him
Jungkook
What do you mean??
Yoongi
You didnt notice that??
Jungkook
And what about them hyung??
Yoongi
They flashes when you were talking to him
Jungkook
What do you mean flashes??
Jungkook
You are not making any sense
Yoongi
But i saw what i saw
Yoongi
That man's eyes did the same thing too
Yoongi
Your eye condition. Does it makes things like that too? I never heard of it though
Jungkook
You are really not making any sense right now hyung
Yoongi
Oh well, maybe im wrong then
Yoongi shrugs, making his way out of the counter to clean the tables. And Jungkook was left to wonder on his own,.
What does Yoongi mean by that anyway..

Episode 3: Secretary Hoseok
Somewhere in Taehyung's office, after having breakfast with Jungkook
Secretary Hoseok came to the office and saw Taehyung looking a little pale than usual.
Jung Hoseok
Have you taken your meds, sir?
Jung Hoseok
Rest well then. I'll let the board know that you reschedule the meeting an hour late
Taehyung
Call me sir again, and i'll have you run all the way to my car in 3 second and get me my glasses
Hoseok laughs. Taehyung hated the title to himself. They've been friends for far too long to be calling each other formally, even at work.
Jung Hoseok
Just my little way to make sure you are okay.
Jung Hoseok
I gotta test the water before you came screaming at me and pull my hair off
Taehyung
I never pulled your hair off
Jung Hoseok
Almost. Okay? When you didnt get a proper breakfast and how was i supposed to know without you telling me the first thing in the morning
Taehyung
Wow.. after being friends with me for so long??
Jung Hoseok
I dont read minds like you thought i would 🙄
Taehyung
Im offended, really..
Jung Hoseok
No you are not. Stop being dramatic
Taehyung laughs. Pinching the bridge of his nose.
Taehyung
I met a guy this morning
Jung Hoseok
You wanted to get into his pants?
Taehyung
Really?? Seriously??
Jung Hoseok
I told you i cant read minds
Taehyung
Yeah but you could just stop talking and actually wait for me to finish dont you
Taehyung
As i said, i met a guy
Taehyung
And he.. had the same eyes as mine
Jung Hoseok
Really? The exact same pair like yours??
Taehyung
The exact blue and brown
Jung Hoseok
You've been waiting and looking for it the whole time and finally..
Taehyung
Yeah. But its not so easy now that ive been into this situation
Jung Hoseok
What do you mean you cant?
Taehyung
I cant hurt him..
Meanwhile, back in the cafe
Yoongi
Welcome to Borahae Cafe. May i take your order please?
Jung Hoseok
Hi. Yeah.. um. Whats recommended?
Yoongi
Our coffess are freshly roasted and brew every morning. Perhaps if you are into coffees, you might want to try that
Jung Hoseok
Sure. Anything hard?
Yoongi
Espresso? Extra shot if you want..
Jung Hoseok
Make that double please. Warm.
Yoongi
Sure do. Anything else? Food perhaps?
Jung Hoseok
Croquet will be fine
Yoongi
Sure. Dine in or take-outs?
Jung Hoseok
Dine-in. I'll take my time
Yoongi
Glad you do. Here's your ticket and we'll buzz you when your orders ready
Jung Hoseok
Um and yeah well may i ask
Jung Hoseok
Is there anyone that works here with a rare eye condition??
Jung Hoseok
I just wanted to meet him in person
Jung Hoseok
Talk.. and exchange greetings maybe
Jungkook
Yoongi, have you seen my apron??
Yoongi
No. Do i look like a clothes hanger?
Jungkook
No but you have eyes. Come on, help me find it
Yoongi
Im literally taking orders here
Jungkook
You could multitask oh god
Yoongi
God you are such a pain in the ***..
Hoseok gestures to the both of them
Jung Hoseok
Im sorry to interupt, but you must be the guy that had different pair of eyes
Jung Hoseok
Im Hoseok. Can we talk?
Jungkook
But its my turn to work
Jungkook
Ive had my break a while ago
Jungkook
And what is it about, if i may ask?
Jung Hoseok
Ah, sure go ahead then. Perhaps i'll talk to you next time.
Hoseok bows and leave the cafe.
Jung Hoseok
It is true. He had the same pair of eyes as Taehyung. This should be easy.
Three days later, at the cafe..
Jungkook
Oh, hi. Good morning to you too. How may i help you?
Taehyung
Actually no, i would like to ask you..
Jungkook laughs, endeared.
Taehyung
You know, have a time so we could hang out?.. kinda
Jungkook
You mean my off day?
Taehyung
Yes.. without being glared by your friend for interupting you during work
Jungkook laughs again. Shaking his head.
Taehyung
Here's my card. Text me when you are free
Jungkook
But i wont be available on weekend though. If thats okay with you
Taehyung
I can make some time for you, dont worry. Just text me, yeah?
Taehyung
And can i have a coffee this time? Americano?
Jungkook
Coming right up ☺️
Taehyung then gets to his office, and settle down with a sigh. He's tired and didnt get enough sleep last night. And he doesnt know how to get through the day like this..
Jung Hoseok
What's this? Coffee?
Jung Hoseok
You dont drink coffee
Taehyung
Yeah. But its rather sweet
Taehyung
Probably extra syrup
Jung Hoseok
Well, let me remind you. You dont drink coffee because you cant. You should not.
Jung Hoseok
So this one is for me
Taehyung
You are not my doctor
Jung Hoseok
Yeah but i am your secretary
Taehyung
Exactly my point 🙄
Jung Hoseok
And your friend. In case you forgot that. You always forgot that. And thankfully im always here to remind you 😚
Jung Hoseok
Dont you roll your eyes on me, you little..
Taehyung's phone then dings with a notification. An incoming message from a number he's not familiar before
[From +0106131997] Hey, its Jungkook. Im free tomorrow if the offer still stand
[To +0106131997] Hi jungkook. Yeah sure i'll confirm you the time and place
Jung Hoseok
Who? Jungkook?
Jung Hoseok
You have one thing to do, and one thing to avoid. Dont mix that up
Jung Hoseok
You are not supposed to fall in love with him.
Jung Hoseok
Dont mess this up. Its your only chance.
