EP¹⁷ - Let me hold you for a moment

It was evening of the same day when the sound of door opening made Jungkook look up from his laptop, only to see Taehyung coming in with a small box in his hand,

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Taehyung-ah, wae you are home so early

Jungkook asked, closing his laptop but instead of answering him Taehyung asked him for what he came early,

Kim Taehyung (A)

Where's my wallet?

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Over there on table

Jungkook said pointing towards the dining table, and Taehyung just walked up to it whereas Jungkook followed,

Kim Taehyung (A)

You didn't open it, right? *asks, picking up his wallet*

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Ne, I didn't touch it, count your money *pouts*

Kim Taehyung (A)

I didn't mean it like that

Taehyung said in a low tone, taking a glance at Jungkook, but Jungkook was just looking at him without uttering a word, so Taehyung just put the box forward, handling it to him,

Kim Taehyung (A)

Here, take it

Jeon Jungkook (A)

*holds it with a bit dazed look on his face* You forgot your wallet, how...

Kim Taehyung (A)

I borrowed some money

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Ha? You didn't have to do that

Jungkook said, looking down at the box as he held it closer to his chest cuz the gesture had him feeling somewhat giddy inside whereas Taehyung just walked away from there, leaving a smiling Jungkook behind,

Entering his room, Taehyung locked the door behind then walked up to his bed, and sat there, clenching onto the wallet in his hand as he opened it slightly, looking at the picture which was kept inside,

Well yeah this picture was the reason he was so worried of Jungkook looking into it, the same childhood picture which Jungkook has kept in his diary,

Little Jungkook (A)

Hello, my name is Jungkook 😁

Little Jungkook who was standing there holding onto his mother's hand, introduced himself with his bunny smile in display as he bowed a little, and Jihyun who was standing right in front of them with her own son, leaned to Jungkook's eyes level,

Young Jihyun (O)

Hello, you're so polite

Jihyun said caressing over Jungkook's hairs who just smiled bigger, and his mother In-na leaned to the eye level of her bestfriend's son who was just standing there silently, holding onto his mother's hand,

Jeon In-na (O)

You must be Taehyung, nice to meet you

In-na said affectionately, caressing over little Taehyung's cheek, but the kid just blinked his eyes on the gesture, and In-na looks at her son,

Jeon In-na (O)

Jungkookie, you have to say hello to Taehyung as well

In-na said stroking over Jungkook's hairs, and he nodded his head as he put his hand forward towards Taehyung for a handshake, looking at him with his adorable smile, but Taehyung just looked up at his mother who just smiled as she leaned to his level,

Young Jihyun (O)

He is like this sometimes

Jihyun said, looking up at In-na as she caressed over Taehyung's back, and In-na nodded in understanding,

Young Jihyun (O)

Taehyungie, you have to say hello *says softly, caressing over his hairs in soothing manner*

Little Taehyung (A)

*looks towards Jungkook who was still having his hand in the air for a handshake, so he reaches out his hand to him, and shook hands with him*

Little Jungkook (A)

From now on, we're friends 😄 *says happily*

Kim Taehyung (A)

At that time, I was acting out because my parents weren't getting along

Kim Taehyung (A)

You were my first friend *caresses over the picture*

Kim Taehyung (A)

I've liked you since then, Jungkook-ah

Taehyung thought inside his head while his eyes kept staring at the picture when there was a knock on the door of his room, followed by a sweet happy voice calling him out,

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Taehyung-ah

Hearing Jungkook's voice, Taehyung closed the wallet in his hand, and got up from the bed, walking towards the door to open it,

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Time for dinner 😄

Jungkook chimed in as soon as he saw Taehyung standing there on door, but Taehyung just took a step forward, and engulfed Jungkook in a hug who was surprised, but at the same time, he could feel there was something off with Taehyung,

Jeon Jungkook (A)

*blinks* Did something happen?

Jungkook asked in a concerned tone, keeping his hands over Taehyung's back who just pulled him closer into his embrace,

Kim Taehyung (A)

Let me hold you for a moment *mumbles, closing his eyes*

Jeon Jungkook (A)

Mmh *hums, resting chin to his shoulder while hands were busy patting over his back in a calming manner*
