Work Text:
It was a regular day in the magic shop, a regular day in Taehyung's understanding, of course. Early in the morning before opening the shop he was preparing a new potion with Jimin. Summer in their town was too hot so, they needed a potion, which could help keep the temperature in their basement pretty low because some potions and ingredients could be damaged in this weather. So two witches tried to find a solution to this problem. Also, they were thinking about selling this potion to people because not only them were suffering from the summer heat.
They were chattering about their new grumpy witch customer, who lived near their shop, while preparing the potion. At some point Taehyung was arguing with his boyfriend about Yoongi's black cat.
"Mochi, I saw this cat with my own eyes," Taehyung shouted.
"It was Yoongi, dumbass, I saw him too."
"It can't be him. This cat was too cute to be him. I scratched its back two days ago."
"Yoongi is as cute as his fluffy cat form. He even let me hug him yesterday. He's very shy, that's all."
Taehyung stopped talking, and his smile disappeared. There was a long awkward silence.
"Tae, there is too much mint already, stop!" Jimin shouted.
But it was too late. Boom! Half of their shop turned out to be covered with ice in a moment.
"Oh god, Jiminie, are you okay?" Taehyung asked looking at his boyfriend from head to toe.
"I hope so," Jimin answered.
There was nothing new so, they quickly finished cleaning up and got back to work. Jimin was responsible for working with customers on the first floor of their shop and helping them find what they were searching for. Usually, he was very talkative and cute so, he attracted people's attention very well. Customers are fond of talking with him not only about their orders, but also about their life. Jimin knew how to speak with different kinds of people, knew what they needed without any words.
But after morning accident something has changed. Jimin wasn't even smiling, and his voice wasn't soft anymore. He was like a robot just asking the same questions of customers.
"Jiminie, what's wrong? Are you mad because of my mistake in the morning?" Taehyung asked after a few hours of work.
"No. I'm not mad," Jimin said not even looking at his boyfriend.
Taehyung was confused. What happened to his sunny boy? Jimin would never be this rude to anyone even if he was mad.
"Honey, look at me for a second."
"For what?" Jimin asked coldly. "You are distracting me from work. I have to work."
Oh no-no-no, something was completely wrong. Taehyung squatted down beside Jimin and looked into his eyes. They were frighteningly blue instead of the usual brown.
"Shit. Just stay here. I need to call Seokjin."
Taehyung ran upstairs and took his phone. Of course, he called Jin, who else could help in such a terrifying situation? Namjoon and Hoseok would freak out and wouldn't be able to help right away. Jungkook was in another country, so Taehyung decided that Seokjin was the best choice in that situation.
"Hey Tae, how are..." He didn't have a chance to end his question because Taehyung quickly interrupted him.
"Something happened," He started.
"What is it this time?"
"Maybe I was a bit distracted from working on a new potion, maybe I accidentally put too much mint in it, maybe half of our shop was covered with ice for a few hours, and maybe somehow it affected Jimin."
"Maybe?"
"Well, it really happened. Jin, I messed up," Taehyung said and his voice broke.
"Oh, please don't cry, Tae. It can be easily fixed, because thank god it was just a mint. Listen to my advice. Close shop for today and rest of the day spend with Jimin doing your favorite stuff like cuddling, kissing, and drinking hot chocolate, you know. I don't think his condition is dangerous. So, I guess you will manage it by yourself."
"I have to try right now, thank you, hyung."
"You're welcome. Just remember that Jimin will be fine. But if things get worse, please call me immediately. Or ask your new witch neighbor to help you."
"Okay. And please don't mention Yoongi. He's kinda a reason all this happened."
"What? Taehyung?"
But witch has already ended the call and run downstairs. He saw that Jimin was sitting in the same position as he left him. Taehyung's heart skipped a beat, seeing Jimin like this hurt like hell. Taehyung closed the door of their shop and returned to Jimin.
"Baby, we are getting some rest now, give me your hand."
Taehyung leads Jimin to their bedroom on the second floor, and put him to bed. Jimin was staring at the ceiling still without any kind of emotion.
"I'm so sorry," Taehyung said and kissed Jimin's forehead, "I should know that this could happen. And I shouldn't be jealous because of you hugging Yoongi. I'm a dumbass."
He continued to cover the boyfriend's face with kisses.
"My precious baby, I will never do this to you again, I swear," Taehyung whispered to Jimin's ear.
"You better save your word, my head is terribly aching now, you idiot," Jimin said quietly.
"Oh, Jiminie, you're back!"
"Shh, jealous ass. I definitely need to rest. I expect a day off. And cuddles. And hot chocolate."
"I'll do whatever you want, baby. I will run a hot bath for you right now, if you want."
"For both of us, please. But now just lay with me for a couple of minutes, I miss your touches. I want to cuddle you to death so, you wouldn't be able to think about Yoongi. He's just our neighbor, and I'm just being friendly with him. Do you understand it?"
"Yes," Taehyung answered.
"And you are the love of my life. My first love. And I will never ever leave you for anybody in this world. Believe me and don't be jealous at least when we are working."
"I promise you."
After this conversation they laid in comfortable silence, and Taehyung couldn't be happier.
