“Taehyung?” Hyejin said, eyes wide, she looked back at Jungkook and Eunji, who were also on their feet looking at each other anxiously.

Taehyung looked between the shocked faces, “Am I interrupting something?” he asked with a nervous smile. Hyejin shook her head immediately.

“No ofc not, come..” she said, giving space for him to enter inside. Taehyung smiled and entered. “I didn't see samchon yesterday that’s why..” Taehyung cleared his intentions.

“No need to explain Taehyungie, you can come here without any reason too..” Hyejin said. Taeyung sat down beside Jaehyung, who was still looking at the ceiling.

Taehyung held his hand in his own, the warmth reminded him of the times when Jaehyung could talk, walk and the times when he used to take them to fair while his own father stayed busy with one thing or another.

Now holding the wrinkled hand who once used to ruffle his hair lovingly brought tears to his eyes, "Samchon..." he whispered. “How are you?” he asked, his face twisted in a sad smile not getting any response.

“He doesn't respond.” Jungkook replied, Taehyung nodded his head, “What doctors say?” he asked, looking at Jungkook.

Jungkook just shook his head, a gloomy expression settled on his face. Taehyung didn’t say anything and just stared at Jaehyung.

“Didn’t you change doctors or try to consult another specialist?” Taehyung asked after a while and Jungkook looked at his mother who shook her head.

“Taehyungie, your– your father did, but no luck.” Hyejin said, Jungkook just shook his head in disbelief, and sat down beside Eunji who was silently looking at them.

Taehyung nodded his head, “I still can’t believe it.” he whispered to himself, and stood up. “Sukmo.. If you don’t mind, can I take Jungkook with me for sometime?” Taehyung asked her.

“Why are you asking her? I am here, ask me!” Jungkook interrupted him, Taehyung looked at him shocked, “No I didn’t mean it like that..” Taehyung explained.

Hyejin chuckled, “Jungkook,” she said and Jungkook huffed. “You can Taehyungie, if he agrees, he is a person of his own..” Hyejin said, Taehyung chuckled seeing how Jungkook rolled his eyes.

“Can you spare some time for me Jungkook, If you don’t mind of course.” Taehyung asked mockley, Jungkook laughed along with all the people present there.

“Sure sure.. But why?” Jungkook asked. “I haven’t met Jimin hyung, he is still in the field, so I wanted to surprise him. But the problem is I don’t know the way.” Taehyung told,

Jungkook made an ‘O’ face.. “Okay.. let’s go.”

“Can I come too, please please..” Eunji said desperately, “Yeah why not..” Taehyung agreed.

They left the room, Jungkook walking ahead while Taehyung followed him behind. Eunji already ran ahead to go and take an umbrella just in case.

“Did you have breakfast?” Taehyung asked as they reached the kitchen. Jungkook shook his head, “You?” he asked. Taehyung shook his own head as well.

They stopped in front of the kitchen, “Eomma, I am going to meet Jiminie.. Pack his breakfast.” Taehyung said entering inside and peeked over her shoulder to see what she was packing.

“Hmm.. smell delicious,” Taehyung closed his eyes, savoring the smell. Sumin patted his cheek and laughed.

“I have packed yours and Hana’s as well, eat with him there yeah.” Sumin said, stacking the tiffins neatly.

Jungkook's eyes widened, so Hana is going? Why did he ask me then, ahh why did I agree.. Shit.. sorry Hana-yah..

Just then Eunji came running towards the kitchen, “Let’s go oppa.” she said excitedly, Sumin looked at her with narrowed eyes.

Jungkook seemed to have a heart as he realised his lie was caught, he glared at Eunji who looked at him clueless. Jungkook took his steps back to go away from there when Taehyung stopped him.

“Jungkook.. Where are you going?” Taehyung asked and looked at his mother, “pack a lunch box for Jungkook and Eunjil.. They are coming as well.” Taehyung said to her.

Jungkook cursed under his breath and looked away when Sumin glared at him, Eunji stood there not understanding what’s happening.

“Eomma.. Where is Yuri noona? I didn’t see her? Is she not here?” Taehyung asked, “Unni is in the room, Seobangnim is also there.” Eunji informed, Taehyung nodded his head and looked at his mother who was busy in her thoughts,

“Eomma..?” he shook her out of her thoughts, “But why? I mean, Hana is going already and also there is so much work around here.” Sumin said, trying to cancel their venture.

“Eomma, how can I go with Hana alone, it will be better if they will be there as well, don’t you think Hana will be uncomfortable?” Taehyung denied it and leaned on the counter.

Sumin reluctantly packed their lunch as well, and secured them in a big bag giving it to Jungkook who just smiled nervously and took it carefully.

Hana came out of Sumin's room and saw all three of them standing on the door, Eunji came forward and linked her arm with Hana’s while Jungkook stood beside Taehyung carrying the bag.

“I am also coming with you..” Eunji said excitedly as Hana looked at her, “Really?” she asked, Eunji nodded her head, “Jungkook oppa too..” She said and dragged her out with him while the two male followed from behind.
They crossed the yard carefully, Jungkook was having difficulty walking with the lunch bag and then keeping his clothes in check to not dirty them this early.

Hana and Eunji walked ahead of them looking over their shoulder and laughing and sometimes teasing Jungkook for the weird way he was walking.

Sometimes when they look back, Jungkook could clearly see Hana’s red cheeks and smirk. Eunji said something to Hana which made her land a harsh slap on her back making her skip ahead of them.

“Ouch..” Eunji said and glared at her friend. “You wait—” she said and stepped toward Hana who laughed and took a step back in fun.

“Walk carefully—” Taehyung couldn’t finish the sentence when Hana lost her footing, she yelped and was about to fall down when a strong arm held her from her waist, steading her.

Hana closed her eyes in fear and opened it slowly when the scent of fresh lavender and musk penetrated through her senses, her eyes widened seeing Taehyung face so close to her.

But before she could say something, Taehyung made her stand up carefully and stepped aside creating distance between them, “Don’t play around here, the ground is slippery.” He scolded them.

Hana’s face turned beetroot, she looked down and nodded her head, feeling her heartbeat race against her chest. Her thoughts broke when she heard Jungkook giggling loudly along with Eunji.

“By god.. Hana, walk carefully, would you?” Jungkook laughed and came in front of her, walking backward teasing her.

“Don’t laugh so much kookie, it was a mistake.” Hana glared at him, “That’s why you should look at the ground while walking—Ahhhh” Jungkook yelped, falling down on his bum with a thud.

Hana broke out in laughter along with Taehyung this time as well, he cursed and looked at the tiffin bag. It was okay. He closed his eyes in embarrassment.

“Shut up and help me.” Jungkook hissed, thankfully they were not on the muddy ground anymore. He glared when all they continued laughing.

“Ohh god oppa..” Eunji shook her head in disbelief.

Taehyung stepped forward while the girls kept laughing at him. He took the lunch bag from him and handed it to Hana and then forwarded his han in front of him.

“Come..” he said softly when Jungkook kept his own palm in his hand. Taehyung's breath hitched, feeling the soft hand in his rough one.

His palm tingled while Jungkook was throwing profanities at his sister and friend. No one noticed the way Taehyung’s eyes dilated looking at him, no one noticed how his eyes roamed at his face.

Taehyung shook his head and took out his handkerchief, giving it to him. That's when Jungkook noticed their close proximity, his eyes widened as he took a step back.

He felt his cheek heating up for no reason. “Here, clean your pants.” Taehyung said keeping the kerchief on his palm.

“Let me help you.” Hana said controlling her laugh, she had kept the lunch bag on the ground, supported by a tree trunk which Jungkook took again after cleaning himself.

They resumed their walk, this time Hana was walking beside Taehyung who was looking around the vast land of crops all around.

They crossed a beautiful meadow, covered with beautiful flowers, the sun shone brightly over it making the scene more serene and magical.

“Woah.. it’s so beautiful.” Taehyung whispered but Hana heard it and smiled. “Whose field is this?” He asked curiously. “Ours.” Hana stated, a proud look crossing her face.

“Yes hyung, all the fields you can see around you belongs to her family.” Jungkook informed him, “Then where’s ours?” Taehyung asked, “We are walking for forever.” he said, Jungkook laughed and pointed at a distance, “You see that pole.. There..” Jungkook asked.

Taehyung squinted his eyes and nodded, “Our field, start from there.” “Come on, let's go..” Jungkook said, taking the lunch bag from his right to left hand.

Taehyung stepped forward and took the lunch bag from his hand, their hand brushed together, a spark ran down Jungkook’s spine as he quickly pulled his hand back.

“You don’t have to do that.” he said softly, Taehyung just smiled, “You are carrying it for so long, let me” he said and resumed their walk.

•┈••✦ ❤ ✦••┈•

“Jiminie oppa..” Eunji shouted, running through the narrow path in the field, Hana followed behind her along with Jungkook.

Jimin was working on removing some parasites from the crops and looked up surprised hearing the voice, “Eunji-ah?” he asked, standing up.

“Hana? Eunji? What are you both doing here?” he asked, cleaning his hand on his shirt.

“Not only us.. Jungkook oppa and Taehyung oppa are also with us..” they said and Jimin’s eyes widened.
“Jiminie…” He heard his name and looked ahead and saw Taehyung standing there crossing his arm on his chest. Jimin’s lips stretched in a beautiful smile as he came forward.

He hugged Taehyung tightly while Taehyung did the same. “Finally.. You are back, I missed you.” Jimin said, breaking the hug and looking at him with endearing eyes.

“Liar, why didn’t you come to meet me then?” Taehyung asked, narrowing his eyes, “Can’t leave the field unattended, Taetae, many wild animals are around here.” he replied walking towards the small hut at a distance.

Taehyung nodded his head and followed him, Jimin took a mug of water offering it to Taehyung who washed his hand followed by everyone.

“It’s good you guys decided to come too, it's boring eating alone here..” Jimin said, taking out a mat and spreading it on the ground. Taehyung sat beside Jimin followed by Hana who sat on the right of Taehyung then Eunji beside her and finally Jungkook.

He took the tiffins out of the bag and placed them on the mats, “It was my idea.” Taehyung said proudly. Hana and Eunji helped in taking out the utensils while Jungkook opened the boxes.

They served themselves food or Hana served Taehyung on his plate and Taehyung smiled giving her a small thank you.

Jungkook looked over his lunch box and his heart squeezed, beans and rice. He looked over other boxes and they were also beans and rice. A small box has kimchi packed.
He opened it and kept it in the middle. He just took rice in his plate, his eyes stung but he shook his head to get rid of the thoughts.

Why would eomeoni cook beans of all the vegetables, he thought while everyone around him ate happily. He pouted sadly, taking a bite of plain rice.

“So? Finally decided to stay back?” Jimin asked, Taehyung gulped his food and shook his head, “No.. I have six months leave only, eomma doesn’t know though.” Taehyung replied, Hana’s hand stopped and she looked up at him.

Jungkook and Eunji were no different. They all looked at him surprised, “What? You guys thought I was unemployed.” Taehyung joked.

“No.. I thought.. You will finally decide to stay here.” Jimin said, Taehyung shook his head, “Village life is not for me hyung, it never was, I like it there.” Taehyung responded.

Hana smiled and looked at Jungkook who was now grinning at her, Hana winked at him as if saying ‘I told you so’.

“Hmm.. So what are you planning to do while you are here?” Jimin asked, Taehyung thought for a moment and smiled, “I have some work here which I need to discuss with appa first then I will tell you all.” Taehyung smirked.

“Ohh come on..” Eunji and Jimin grumbled together, making Taehyung laugh, as the laughter subsided, his eyes stopped at Jungkook’s plate.

He furrowed his brows seeing only rice in his plate and that too Jungkook wasn’t eating.

Jungkook played around with his chopsticks because plain rice is not accepted by his taste buds.

“Jungkook..” Taehyung said, Jungkook looked up, “Huh?” he asked, “Why are you eating plain rice only?” Taehyung asked and that’s when everyone noticed it as well.

“Ohh, I am not—” Jungkook waved his hands to dismiss the topic.. “Ohh it’s beans..” Eunji said suddenly and looked at her brother with concern, “You didn’t eat, did you?” Eunji asked worriedly, Jungkook shook his head assuring her.

“Huh what happened? You don’t like beans?” Jimin asked this time while Taehyung also looked at him curiously, “Ohh kookie is allergic to beans.” Hana responded this time.

“What really?” Jimin asked surprised, “You didn’t know..?” Taehyung looked at him weirdly, “Ummm—” Jimin didn’t know what to say, he never knew Jungkook is allergic to beans,

“Yes.. it was back when he was around 11 or something when we have to rush to the pack doctor home because he ate few bites of bean soup afraid to anger eomeoni.” Eunji said, rolling her eyes, and pushed her plate away.

“Ohh..” Taehyung said and looked in front of him seeing nothing except beans and rice and side dishes, kimchi.

“Finish your food Eunji..” Hana said seeing her pushing the plate away, she shook her head, “I am full..” she said and went out to wash her plates.
Taehyung looked at Jungkook who was now packing his own lunch back. He sighed and stood up as well, taking his own plate out as well.

“Give me I will wash it..” Hana said, trying to take the plate but Taehyung pulled his hand back, “No it's fine, i will do it myself.” he said taking a step away from her.

Hana looked at him going and then looked back at Jungkook was also looking at her, and went to sit beside him.

“What happened?” Jungkook asked, seeing her conflicted expression, Hana shrugged her shoulders and looked at her nails, “Tell me..” he pushed her more.

“I don’t know kookie..” she said and looked at her friend, “I feel like Taehyung doesn't like me..” she whispered, eyes tearing up a bit.

Jungkook slid closer to her and took her hand in his, “He just came back Hana, it’s just one day, let him get used to you.” Jungkook consoled her.

“No kookie, you don’t understand, I know it’s just been a day but the way he talks to me, it feels off like he doesn’t even know me.” Hana voiced her worries.

Jungkook didn’t say anything as Jimin came inside just in time, “I think you guys leave, the weather is getting worse, it will take time for you guys to reach home.” Jimin said, smiling up at them.

“You are right.. Let’s go Jungkook..” Taehyung said coming inside and wiping his hand on the towel hung over the rope.
Hana and Jungkook stood up and before Jungkook could take the lunch bag, Taehyung picked it already, and went outside asking them to follow him.

“Now acting as if you know the way..” Jungkook mocked making Taehyung turn towards him with surprised eyes, Jungkook rolled his eyes and pulled Eunji along with him walking ahead, leaving Hana with Taehyung alone.

“Why are we walking so fast, oppa?” Eunji tried to free her hand, but Jungkook just pulled her along with him.

“Oppa..” Eunji whined looking back at Taehyung and Hana who were walking on a one hand distance between them.

Eunji rolled her eyes and looked at Jungkook, “If you are walking this fast to give them space to talk then it’s not going to happen, they are walking at a hand's distance between them.”

Jungkook stopped abruptly, and looked back at them and yes they were indeed walking like they are on the two opposite poles of the earth.

“Still, let’s go..” Jungkook said pulling her with him, at a point he looked back and saw they were talking, Hana was blushing while a beautiful smile played on Taehyung’s face.

He felt weird in his heart at the scene but turned around walking looking in the front, nodding to whatever Eunji was saying.

Before they even went half way, the rain started falling, they shrieked, looking up, Eunji quickly took her umbrella and opened it, shielding herself and Jungkook from the rain. They looked back and saw Hana keeping her hands above her head to shield herself, “Hana.. come..” Jungkook yelled, stopping while Hana and Taehyung made a run towards them.

“Come..” Jungkook said, stepping away and giving his spot to her and she thanked him. While Jungkook stood in the rain along with Taehyung, who smiled at his act, and started walking beside him.

The shirt Jungkook was wearing was drenched with water, sticking to his body like a second skin, making him wrap his arm around his body, but the smile on his lips was not ready to leave.

Just then his feet landed in puddles making him realise why he doesn’t like rain, the smile was replaced with a grimace. Taehyung chuckled which made him come out of the thoughts.

“Why are you laughing?” Jungkook asked, narrowing his eyes. “I am not..” Taehyung defended himself. Jungkook stopped and kept his hands on his hips looking at him with his suspicious eyes.

“You were laughing, hyung.” he pointed out but Taehyung's eyes were no longer on his face, the way Jungkook was standing made every curve and swells of him visible to Taehyung eyes.

Taehyung gulped and looked away surprised at his own thoughts, his heart started racing, making him clench his fist tightly, “Are you hearing me?” Jungkook asked, poking his finger on his shoulder.

Taehyung looked at him shocked, because he wasn’t. He shook his head, Jungkook rolled his eyes and started walking ahead mumbling to himself.

Taehyung shook his head chuckling, and took his coat off and placed it over Jungkook’s shoulder when he saw him shivering.

“What—no hyung you would be cold.” Jungkook denied trying to take off the coat but Taehyung stopped him.

“Alphas don’t get cold so easily, keep it.. And walk fast. I think the weather is going to be worse.” he said, urging him to follow fast while Hana and Eunji were already ahead of them.

They stopped at the front door of the house and knocked, Jungkook shivered, wrapping the coat around himself tightly, not knowing the way Hana was looking at him.

He again knocked at the door, this time loudly, just then Jungkook's stomach grumbled, he chuckled nervously, “You must be hungry..” Taehyung said, “I will eat something from the kitchen.” he said.

“As if there will be something to eat.” Eunji chuckled without humor, while Taehyung looked at her confused.

The door opened and there stood Sumin with a big smile on her face which quickly wiped out seeing Jungkook in front of her, the coat on his shoulder didn't go unnoticed by her.

She looked at Taehyung who was dusting his clothes to remove the excess water which was futile, and looked up, “Ohh eomma,” Taehyung said, taking her out of her thoughts.

“Ohh you all are drenched, Soyeon, Soyeon..” She yelled, Soyeon came towards the door and before she could say something, Sumin spoke up, “bring a towel..” she instructed.

Soyeon nodded her head and came back shortly with two towels. Sumin took them and handed one to Hana, “Wipe your arms, you will be sick.” She said turned towards Taehyung, she started wiping his hair while Jungkook and Eunji stood at the door looking at them.

“Eomma, give one to Jungkook—”

“He will take one himself, shut up.” she said softly and continued wiping his face and arm.

Jungkook shook his head and looked at Eunji and held her hand, “Come you will be sick..” he said and took her towards the stairs.

“Why are you wetting the floor Jungkook—”

“I will wipe them.” Jungkook cut her off and pulled Eunji with him to his room. Taehyung eyes followed his back and he stopped his mother.

“Eomma, it’s fine.. I am okay.. I have to talk to Jungkook.” Taehyung said going past his mother but she held his arm.

“What do you have to talk to him about?” she asked, with an uncertain look which puzzled Taehyung. “What do you mean, eomma? Jungkook is my cousin, I can talk to him whenever I want, can’t I?” he asked and removed her hand, following behind Jungkook.

Sumin looked at Hana, who was also looking the way Taehyung went, she sighed and shrugged her shoulders seeing the questioning gaze of Sumin.
