Episode 2 – The Quiet Café

The final school bell rang.

Students quickly packed their bags and rushed out of the classrooms, excited to finally go home.

Jimin walked beside Taehyung toward the school gate.

“So,” Taehyung said, stretching his arms, “how was your first day?”

Jimin smiled softly. “Not bad. At least I’m not completely alone.”

Taehyung grinned proudly. “Of course not. You have me.”

Suddenly Taehyung checked his phone and stopped walking.

“Ah… I almost forgot.”

Jimin tilted his head. “What happened?”

“I have a group study session tonight with some friends,” Taehyung explained. “I’ll probably come back late.”

Jimin nodded. “That’s okay.”

Taehyung lightly patted his shoulder.

“Don’t wait for me. Go eat something tasty and relax. You had a long first day.”

Jimin chuckled. “You sound like my mom.”

“Someone has to take care of you,” Taehyung laughed.

After saying goodbye, Taehyung ran off to meet his friends.

Jimin stood there for a moment, watching him disappear into the crowd.

The street slowly became quieter.

With nothing else to do, Jimin began walking slowly down the road near the school.

After a few minutes, he reached into his bag and pulled out a small notebook.

His diary.

Ever since his parents passed away, writing his thoughts had become a habit. It was the only way he could release the emotions he kept hidden behind his smile.

But he needed a quiet place.

As he continued walking, something caught his attention.

At the corner of the street stood a small vintage café.

Warm lights glowed through the windows, and shelves filled with books could be seen inside.

Jimin stopped.

“A book café…?”

Curious, he walked closer.

The place looked calm and peaceful, completely different from the noisy streets around it.

Maybe this would be the perfect place to write.

Jimin gently pushed the door open.

Ding.

A small bell rang.

The smell of coffee and old books filled the air.

Jimin looked around in amazement.

“This place is beautiful…”

He stepped further inside—

And suddenly froze.

Sitting near the window, quietly reading a book, was someone very familiar.

Jeon Jungkook.

Jungkook slowly lifted his eyes from the book and looked straight at him.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Jimin quickly bowed.

“S-senior… hello.”

Jungkook closed his book calmly.

“You again.”

Jimin rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

“I didn’t know you come here.”

Jungkook leaned back slightly in his chair.

“And I didn’t know you liked quiet places.”

Jimin blinked in surprise.

“I just wanted somewhere peaceful to write.”

Jungkook glanced at the notebook in Jimin’s hand.

“A diary?”

Jimin nodded shyly.

Jungkook stared at him for a moment longer before speaking again.

“You can sit.”

Jimin looked around.

“Really?”

Jungkook simply returned to his book.

“The café is open.”

Jimin smiled softly and sat at a nearby table.

He opened his diary and began writing quietly.

Across the café, Jungkook pretended to read.

But every now and then—

his eyes drifted toward Jimin.

Watching him.

As if this quiet moment had already become something special.

(pov) Jimin Writing His Diary

Jimin opened his diary slowly and held his pen above the page.

For a moment he didn’t write anything.

Then he finally began.

“First day at the new school.”

“It was strange… but not as bad as I thought.”

“I met Taehyung again. That made me really happy.”

He paused.

His pen hovered above the paper again before he added another line.

“And I met a very strange senior today.”

Jimin glanced up without thinking.

Jungkook was still sitting near the window.

Reading.

But somehow it felt like he was aware of everything happening around him.

Jimin quickly looked back down and continued writing.

Jimin was quietly writing in his diary when he suddenly noticed someone standing beside his table.

He looked up.

Jungkook placed a warm cup in front of him.

Hot chocolate

Jimin blinked in surprise.

“Senior…?”

Jungkook spoke calmly.

“You’ve been sitting here for a while without ordering anything.”

Jimin looked a little embarrassed.

“Oh… I’m sorry. I didn’t know if I should order something.”

Jungkook shrugged slightly.

“It’s fine.”

Jimin carefully looked at the drink.

“…Hot chocolate?”

Jungkook nodded once.

Jimin smiled softly.

“It’s my favorite.”

For a brief second, Jungkook paused.

“Good.”

He turned and walked back to his seat.

Jimin wrapped his hands around the warm cup, feeling the heat spread through his fingers.

Across the café, Jungkook pretended to read his book again.

But the truth was—

He already knew.

Small writing tip:

Jungkook noticed Jimin drinking hot chocolate before at school, which is why he ordered it.

Author’s Note

Our quiet café moment finally happened… and Jungkook secretly giving Jimin hot chocolate might seem small, but sometimes the smallest actions reveal the biggest feelings.

Also, Jimin getting scolded by Taehyung shows how much Tae cares about him. Their friendship is very important in this story too.
