𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆

𝑹ed locks of a young petite boy bounced slightly side to side, his breath heavy, as he ran ahead. Already feeling exhausted from all the running he did, but nonetheless he still did. Either way, the boy was still late, much to his disapproval.

“Is he already there?“- Red headed asked almost breathlessly as he was still running as fast as his feet would allow him.

He could hear a chuckle on the other line. “No, Tae, slow down before you die and you’ll never see him.“- The red head could only sign in relief at his best friend’s answer.

“I’ll die only in his a-arms.”- Said male stated, making his best friend roll his eyes jokingly. The red head was completely out of breath before he stopped and bent down a little, resting his hands against his knees.

“But you’re right, I feel like s-shit...I need to slow down.“- He explained, closing his eyes, holding tightly on to his phone.

“I don’t know why you have such a bad luck.“- The other let out a loud laugh ’cause of his best friend on the other line, making the red head groan, feeling frustrated.

“Don’t remind me. Why the fuck does he have to come whenever I’m not there.“- He replied, rolling his eyes sassily.

“I don’t know, maybe he has a reason.“- The other tried to reason.

“Tae, nobody leaves a rose every day for someone they don’t even know, and especially not as a certain time, and when they know you won’t be here.“- Added the caller, before taking a deep puff of air inside his lungs.

“I know, but it’s suspicious, don’t you think?“- Asked the red head in deep thought. The other thought for a second before replying wearily.

“Yeah, it’s a bit suspicious, but you-”

The sound of the shop’s bell went off and a tall, masculine, pale, handsome with a sharp jawline and black raven coloured cropped hair man stepped into the bright shop. A white dress shirt fully unbuttoned, revealing the man’s hard, toned chest covered in tattoos. A cigarrette loosely hanging from his mouth.

His aura was strong, it was as if a true blooded alpha just stepped in and made everyone bend down submissively. The man looked scary as hell in Park Jimin’s opinion, but sexy as fuck he may add.

“Tae, babe....he’s here.“- Whispered the stunned male into the phone, quickly averting his gaze from the strong man across from him. In cotrast to the red head, Jimin had already seen the male before, it was the red head who had bad luck here.

“Fuck, talk with him! Give me some time, just start a conversation with him, Jimin please!“- Panicked the other, immediately speeding up his pace.

“Bitch-“- The greenhead murmured under his nose, utter disbelief evident in the tone of his sweet voice. His gaze momentarily trailed across the shop, towards the masculine man. Uncertainty and fear were all he felt when he laid his eyes upon the terrifying man.

“Nope, definitely not talking to him.“- The owner added whisper yelling with a shake of his head in disapproval.

“Jiminie please! You know how much I’ve been waiting for this day, goddamnit!“- The boy begged, desperate to finally meet his secret admirer.

“I’ll be there in like two minutes, babe, please!“- The fragile boy pleaded once more, his voice wavering faintly due to all the running.

The greenhead let out a frustrated, low groan, as he pinched the bridge of his nose. But agreed nonetheless. It was his best friend after all. “God- You owe me! now hurry, bitch.“-At that, he quickly ended the call.

𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈, the green haired thought, while looking surreptitiously at the terrifying male a few meters away from him. The raven was choosing a rose, as always when he came here. No one knew the intention behind the gesture, the gesture was as mysterious as the man himself. Just think, a man like him in a small flower shop? He didn’t fit in here.

Unlike that man, Jimin has a bubbly personality and was dead on beautiful, just like all of the flowers they sell. His hair were light green, his eyes dark brown, which didn’t match, but he didn’t care. With his bright beauty, he fit in here perfectly unlike the man in front of him. His pupils dialeted a bit when he noticed the other male choosing a golden rose, and then walking towards him, as he smelled it with closed eyes, he looked like he sniffed heroine for a while, considering the pleasuring look in his hodded eyes.

“Can I help you?“- Greenhed asked politely, despite his fear of the male. But, unfortunately the man seemed to notice the boy’s anxiety, as he smiled coldly and lovely as frost on a windowpane. His smile was like a sudden beam of sunlight illuminating the darkest corners of the room, it was honestly very mesmerizing.

“Acting all tough now, are we?“- The man said with a hint of amusement in his voice. The tone of voice of the man sent shivers down Jimin’s spine, unfortunately not in a good way.

As it was mentioned before, this wasn’t his first encounter with the petrifying man in front of the small younger one. Every time he came here, the green haired either cowered away from his intense gaze, or curled up a little into his little bubble out of fear. The man was fucking horrifying. His pale skin, cold at that; His pupils were almost empty with nothingness lingering deep inside them, the way his dress shirt exposed his toned, hard chest made the poor boy feel so small, so fragile, like a little crystal, scared in the man’s presance.

So, this was a whole nother level of confidence he felt surging through his veins. The boy had a solid reason, he was sacrificing things for his best friend, and this was one of the sacrifices he had to make for his soulmate to be awfully happy.

“How c-can I help you sir?“- The boy repeated himself, swearing himself for the stutter and the flush of embarrassment on his chubby cheeks, suddenly not wanting to help his best friend who takes forever to come to his rescue.

The man only placed the golden rose on the counter in front of the small boy, the smirk still visible on his sharp features. The greenhead felt so small in his presence, it was overwhelming. Jimin quickly put the rose in the cash register, and before he could mutter out the prize for the rose, he was rudely interrupted by the terrifying man, who threw the cash for the rose on the counter.

“Keep the change.“- He muttered coldly. “I will be leaving the rose here, and I believe, you, my friend will be delivering it to Kim Taehyung. Am I clear?“- The man added, leaning in slowly towards the younger one, who was standing on the other side of the counter. The smirk he wore terrified the other, as he backed away. What he said sounded almost like a threat.

“Y-yes.“- Greehead mumbled quietly, afraid his voice would break if he said it any louder.

But before the man would leave, Jimin exhaled shakingly and mustered the courage to speak, wanting above all to help his best friend.

“S-sir?“- The boy started in a shaky voice, not daring to look at the man, but he could hear the steps come to an end, and a feeling of someone watching him was really annoying, so he began.

“M-may I, um, ask...why do you keep buying roses for my f-friend?“- A steam of nervousness could be noticed around the smaller male, when the man slowly took a few steps towards him again. And a deep, almost angry tone of voice began speaking.

“You shouldn’t have asked that question, boy.“- He said lowly, and Jimin’s eyes widened with regret.

“But, considering you’re an exceptional friend of the boy that fascinates me. I will feed you with the answer you desire to know.” The man added, with a nod of his head.

Green headed gulped harshly, waiting for an answer. But what he heard next, shocked him to the core.

“He smells 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅.“-

The man said with a terrifying smirk covering his deathly expression, and a lick of his lips. Then he was gone. The man left Jimin standing in his previous spot, completely surprised and shocked at what had just happened. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍-

“Yeah, and he was like, ‘because he smells good’.“- The greenhead mocked in sheer disbelief. Currently, Jimin was explaining the encounter with the mysterious man, and what they talked about, and more especially what he said about Taehyung. Redhead listening intensely to what his best friend had to say, curiousity flowing through his body.

“That’s bizarre.“- He finally said, after a few minutes of processing what he had heard. His eyebrows furrowed, as he rested his chin against his palm on the counter in front of his best friend.

“He wasn’t bizarre, he was literally acting like an obsessive geek, sniffing and so on, saying you smell good.“- Greenhead mumbled weakly, unable to comprehend the whole situation. Of course, he had a few of his own theories, but the boy unfortunately wasn’t allowed to tell anyone this particular secret. Even if it was his soulmate he was talking about, and surely if it had been his choice, he would have told the redhead a long time ago about what he knew. But the boy knew for a fact, that the other wouldn’t handle it well.

He was protecting him that way.

“And of course, this is the rose he left behind for you.“- Jimin slid the rose across the counter on which it was previosuly laying, making the redhead look at it when he felt cold shivers swim down his spine.

“Holy shit, this is beautiful!“- He yelled slightly surprised at how beautiful the rose was, it was golden. Jimin nodded in agreement.

“It is, but I wouldn’t be too happy about it, Tae. That guy’s fucking scary.” Taehyung frowned in confusion, smiling contentedly, as he sniffed the beautiful flower in his hand.

“Why?“- He asked, not really understanding the other and what he was talking about. A man leaving a rose for someone, could only be considered a gentlemen, inferring from the conversation about the man he had with his best friend, the man was suffocatingly handsome. At least that’s what the other said, when he expalined the man’s visuals.

“His aura...it was almost like he was suffocating you by only looking in your direction.“- The greenhead tried to reason, finding it difficult to describe the strong appearance of the man.

“Right...“- The redhead looked up at his best friend weirdly, but still with a smile, as he placed the rose back on the counter.

“Are you sure you’re not going crazy?“- Taehyung asked jokingly while a giggle left his plump lips, he gazed at his best friend, who seemed frustated in a way with Taehyung’s answer.

“I’m serious Taehyung, that guy is no joke.“- He began, his voice serious and a little panicked.

“That man litterally said he was giving you roses ’cause you smell good! What kind of a fucked up reason is that?“- Jimin mocked, gesturing the way the strong man’s face appeared when he spoke those words, which made the other chuckle at his best friend’s stupidity.

“Like, the fuck...is he an animal or something?”The redhead burst into a loud laugh, covering his mouth with his palm.

“Now you’re exaggerating.“- He said between his laugh. The greenhead could only huff at his oblivious best friend.

“I won’t save your dumb ass, if something happens to you.“- Tried to argue the owner. Knowing very well that if something really did happen, he would be the first to save him, but in a way, it was funny to see Taehyung’s disappointed expression.

“You’d better take that back, bitch.“- Taehyung said with a hint of challenge in his eyes, as he pointed at his best friend in a threatening manner. Which some might say, appeared utterly adorable and far from scary, but let them think otherwise.

“Bitch, you started!“- Jimin tried defending himself with his palm on his chest, against his heart in an offended manner.

“I didn’t do anything, you lying hoe!“- He joked, when suddenly he noticed the greenhead running away from him, laughing and giggling as he ran.

And now, the two young boys were running around the shop, with smiles across their faces and loud adorable giggles escaping their throats. It was their every day life together, they only had eachother to rely on in life, but they never complained about it. They know how to be resposible and help eachother out. Redhead was an orphan, while Jimin’s parants died in a car accident when he was only six years old, and that’s when greenhead was transported to the same orphanage Taehyung was in, and that’s when their story began. As best friends, brothers and most importantly, soulmates.

Every day was a battlefield for them, but they’ll manage if they stick by each other’s side. Living together was a must, so that’s what they did. They rented a lake house, not far from their flower shop, so that was good. Ever since their flower shop opened, Taehyung had been receiving a red rose on daily basis, without any occasion really. It was so random, he didn’t know from whom he had been receiving them, every day when the clock pointer points to three in the afternoon, the mysterious man arrives and leaves a sign that he was indeed there, leaving behind a beautiful red rose, which was almost the same color as his red hair. Coincidence? It’s been almost two years since the man left behind a rose for him, and every time he just couldn’t seem to meet the man. He was either late, or he simply forgot to go.

Or he really has bad luck.

He wanted to solve this mystery, and he won’t give up until he does.

What came unnoticed by the two, was a pair of red eyes shining through the window glass from outside, staring at the two with 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 visible inside them.

“Yes, my 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅.“- Replied submissively a gentle tone of voice.

“Good, be ready for tomorrow night, and make sure he’ll be here.“- Ordered a voice in a dominant and cold, chills sending down your spine tone.

“Yes, my 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅, your wish is my command.”
