  "Where have you been these past days?" Jungkook asked, grunting in between his words. Taehyung sighed and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I've been staying with this guy named Changkyun, he's really cool." The mention of the name made Jungkook stop in his tracks. He looked at his bestfriend right in the eyes, "Changkyun? Im Changkyun?"
Taehyung stopped as well seeing that Jungkook froze, "Yeah? Do you know him?"

  The younger pursed his lips and straightened his back,  eyes wandering around nervously trying to find the right words. "So Taeeeee...... I'm sort of... in a gang," he meekly said after clearing his throat. Taehyung lifted his head to look at Jungkook severely as his previous facial expression dropped in shock, "WHAT?!"

  "Okay, here's how it happened," Jungkook inhaled sharply and started to ramble, explaining in detail all the crazy things that have happened to him in the past days, Tae nodded while listening intently to his story, constantly giving his overdramatic reactions as well. For more than ten minutes they were conversing pretty loudly, luckily though it was already late at night and they were in a secluded part in the neighborhood as that was where Jimin's farm and house was located. The poor young farmer who owned the land was still unconscious and sat leaning on a tree beside the two young boys from the future, they forgot about him.

  "Junki! Jimin! Come back inside, I cooked you something!" Jin's voice shouted from inside to call out for the two. Jungkook and Taehyung froze simultaneously hearing the voice and quickly stepped to behind the tree Jimin was also leaning on, they got reminded of the unconscious Jimin again. "Oh gosh, what do we do about my dad?" the older of the two asked, peeping from the tree to look if Seokjin was visible anywhere. Jungkook looked back and inspected the man lying down, "Hide him behind here, I'll cover for a bit and come back to you later."

  Just as he was about to walk forward his friend grabbed his arm, "Wait don't leave me here! What if someone sees me-" the sound of a grumble stopped him from continuing his mini panicked rant. Jungkook hurried back behind the tree to check on Jimin, "Did he wake up?" he whispered. Taehyung shyly bowed his head down, "No, that was my stomach," he blushed in embarassment. Jungkook looked him in the eye for a second and then laughed, "I'll go inside and get you food when I come back." Tae finally nodded in agreement and just decided to plop down to sit next to his dad, murmuring some apology.

  "Oh, hey, Junki! Where's Jimin?" Seokjin welcomed while placing down dishes of food on the dinner table for three. "Uhm, he went to go with Yoongi!" Jungkook spat out of nowhere in a panic. Jin stared at him for an uncomfortable amount of time, "Oh, he came?" Seokjin asked, unsettlingly calm.

  Jungkook got less tense, "Yes he did." He was hoping Jin would no longer ask questions and just go with it, and luckily he did just that. Jungkook silently sighed in relief and sat down on one of the chairs to eat the delicious looking food prepared for him, Seokjin sat across from him. "What did you two talk about?" Jin asked to start some sort of conversation. The pink haired boy slurped from his bowl before answering, "It was just a comfortable silence... yeah.."

  Jin nodded as a response, for a while they just ate and slurped in silence, an occasional gush of wind would whoosh inside from one of the windows, some of Jimin's farm animals would moo, baa, or oink from far away, a light sound of crickets from outside as well. It was just what Jungkook said, a comfortable silence. They didn't know what each other were thinking about but didn't mind it, they were just glad to have some company although it wasn't said by neither of them out loud.

  Soon they both finished and Jungkook volunteered to put the dishes away, including the third one which was supposed to be for Jimin. Seokjin thanked him before heading to a room in one of  the hallways, right infront of the guest room he was allowed to stay in for tonight; he didn't know what was inside the room Jin entered but Jungkook guessed it was his room, he was told this was their childhood home after all. After he had entered and locked the door, Jungkook quickly put away the two empty dishes in the sink and opened the door to go outside with the extra dish full of soup in his hands.

  Taehyung smiled upon seeing his bestfriend and waved his hands around vigorously from behind the tree. Jungkook laughed and walked towards him, after placing the bowl on the ground he sat down beside Taehyung right after. Tae happily placed the dish on the plate on his lap and instead of scooping up little of the soup with a spoon one by one, he grabbed the bowl and placed his lips to the rim and gulped it down. Jungkook giggled seeing his bestfriend so hungry and drinking from it as if it was the last bowl of soup in the world.

  They were having a little chat when the sound of a grumble interrupted, both their eyes looked at Jimin, who stirred in his sleep and slowly fluttered his eyes open. They gulped.

  "What the hell...." Jimin cursed from underneath his breath and sat up, holding onto his head as it was pounding in pain. Once his vision had cleared he noticed two boys infront of him, "....Junki?  and... who are you?.." Taehyung looked away and tried to cover his face with his hand from his father, pleading with his eyes for Jungkook to do something. Jungkook looked back at him and to Jimin, and then sighed in defeat, "Nothing to hide anymore, I guess... Hi.. Jimin-hyung, this is Taehyung. Your future son."

  Jimin's eyes widened as he slowly turned to stare at the boy in the left who was sweating and visibly quivering. It was then when he recalled the last few moments before he got knocked out, "....You..... You really are from the future..." he whispered to himself in disbelief.

  He hesitated before reaching for Taehyung's arm and slowly forced it down, the view of the boy's face was clear to him now. Taehyung bit his lip but found the courage to look at the younger version of his father in the eye. "You're..... going to be my son?" he asked, deeply admiring the boy while intertwining his fingers with him. Taehyung's eyes started to get misty and he nodded while sniffling.

  Jimin said nothing else but immediately engulfed the boy in his arms for a hug. Taehyung choked up and finally started to cry while hugging the young Jimin. He missed his father's touch, although this version was back when he didn't even exist yet. Jungkook only watched the scene and smiled, feeling a little jealous, but mostly happy for the father and son. He just wished he could have the same moment with his parents so he could apologize for all this that he's done.. but now he was starting to think it was impossible.
