Taehyung is humming excitedly as he drives his favorite blue Lamborghini. He is going to the car shop to have his car checked. He was so thrilled to meet the owner; one of his favorite persons in the world, Uncle Kim Byungho.

Memories from his childhood flashbacked as he remembered his little escapade with Uncle Kim...

Uncle Kim is his former driver and bodyguard. He is the one who sends him to school, because his father didn't want him to ride the school bus, because of his safety. At first, he couldn't understand why other kids can ride the bus except him but Uncle Kim explains to him that he is the son of a government official that's why he needed to be taken care well off.

Because his parents are busy, he is always with Uncle Kim. Sometimes, people mistaken him as his own father but he didn't complain. He is more than a father to him. Whenever he had troubles with his assignments, Uncle Kim teaches him. When he craves for something to eat, he will buy him the food that he wanted. Sometimes, when doesn't want to go home early, Uncle Kim will play with him on the park. With his young heart, he never complained having busy parents because Uncle Kim is more than a parent and a friend to him.

One day, he asked Uncle Kim to buy him fish cakes and ice cream and they will eat them at the park. The man agreed but he was confused when they stopped in front of a school. All of a sudden, the back door opened and a boy entered their car. He looked at him and felt tiny butterflies in his stomach. The boy with an apple hair looked back at him and bowed at him.

"Hello, Mr. Kim, I'm Jin. I'm the son of Kim Byungho. I'm so glad to meet you." Jin smiled and offered his hand.

"Hello. I'm Taehyung. Just call me Taetae. I think we are of the same age." Taehyung took his hand and shakes it gently.

"I'm 6 years old. And you?"

"Nice. I'm also 6 years old. Uncle you never told me that your Jinnie is cute." Taehyung smiles and patted his head. He touched his apple hair and pinched his cheeks.

Jin was shocked and he felt that his ears became red. He suddenly pulled out his jellies from his pocket and put one on his mouth. He chewed it and offered some for Taehyung.

"Appa, where are we going?" Jin asked his father.

"We are buying fish cakes and ice cream, Jinnie. And we are going to the park."

"Oh, I like that Appa!" Jin squealed and suddenly closed his mouth with his hand. "I'm sorry Taetae."

"What ice cream flavor do you want Jinnie?"

"Strawberry."

"Taetae, you both love strawberry ice cream. I bet you will become good friends, right Jinnie?"

"We are already friends Uncle." Taehyung is beaming with happiness.

They parked the car and went to the street foods lane to buy the fish cakes. They also went to the ice cream shop to buy the ice cream. They went to the park and they sit on the bench while eating their food.

"This tastes good Appa. I hope we eat this often." Jin said while munching his food.

"Do you want to come here often JInnie?"

"Yes. And with my friend Taetae please Appa?"

"We will ask him first if he want it too. Taetae, do you want to come here too with Jinnie?"

"Yes, uncle. I'm happy because I have a new friend." Taehyung is eating his food happily.

After finishing eating their food, Taehyung and Jin went to the swing. It was late in the afternoon and the sun is about to set, but for the two kids, the day has just begun.
