ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

REMEMBRANCE AND LIFE (34)

- ' Tae what do you think of Lisa noona? '
Jungkook asked while laying on Taehyung's lap in the garden while Yoongi and Jimin went for a walk around.
- ' Lisa noona? '
- ' Yeah..like..did you notice her change?'
- ' Kook say it clearly! '
- ' Ugh...dumb guy! '
Jungkook got up and sat on the grass
- ' I mean, when she first came here and Lisa noona now...don't you think she's a bit changed?'
- ' Oh...yeah. Right...now she helps noona everytime and accompanies her whenever she is alone. You know Jungkook, noona has sleeping disorders just like me and can't sleep properly in night. But she told me that Lisa noona helps her a lot. She massages her head and hums soft lullaby untill noona sleeps. She's just like you, right? You also do this to me.'
- ' The point is not me Tae...the point is.. I've never seen Lisa noona like this. She was always the less talkative one and not so much caring about anyone other than us. '
- ' Maybe now they're good friends just like us. You've also changed a lot Kookah. '

With that, Taehyung ruffled his hair gently and Jungkook went silent. He can't deny the fact....but something was telling him that this was more than friendship between Lisa and Jennie.

- ' Heey Kook...you always tell me that you miss your family ...but you never said something about them. Tell me nah! '
- ' Well...what do you want to know? '
- ' Anything that you want to tell me. '

Jungkook looked at the evening sky and said
- ' My family is 3 person... eomma, appa and Soobin. '
- ' Who is Soobin?'
- ' My little brother. He's 5 years younger than me. You know Tae..at evenings like this, when we were done with our practices, then-'
- ' Wait...practices? '
- ' Yeah...we are Princes, Taehyung. We had to go through hard training and courses for our Kingship. From learning rules to sharpening the skills in battlefield...we need to do it all. '
- ' Ah....right. Then? What happened? '
- ' All day long...our practice session went....and in evenings like this, me and Soobin used to go to the roof of our palace. From there, the whole Kingdom was clear infront of our eyes. Both of us loved this...'

Jungkook smiled at the thought of his brother and looked up at the sky.
- ' Both of us loved starry nights. '

- ' You miss him right? '
Jungkook sighed and nodded a bit.
- ' I miss them too..'
- ' But your brother and sister lives with you Tae. How could you miss them? '
- ' I'm not talking about them. I miss my parents Kook. '

Jungkook looked at the boy besides him and realized that he brought the wrong topic because he knew what has happened with Taehyung.

-' They're soo far away that I can't go to them...not even once. '
Jungkook suddenly filled with guilt that he shouldn't have brought this topic.
- ' I wish...I could live with them a bit more..only a bit..but..'

Taehyung looked down at the grass and said
- ' Hyung and noona are like my guardian angels. I could do nothing without their help. But....sometimes I miss my mother's smile...whenever I saw her smile, my day was filled with joy. I miss appa...he used to play with me whenever I was sad. I wish....I could see them once more and tell them that they are the best mom and dad in the world..and I love them so so much. One day.. I'll go to them... I'll meet them once more-'
- ' Tae! What are you talking about huh? Everyone and everything will come to an end...that's life...but that doesn't mean that the living persons will count their days. Think about how much proud your parents must be! You're so grown up and you're such a gentleman now. They must be very happy to see you from wherever they are. Don't mourn over your loved ones....yes it's hard to not miss them but whenever they come in your mind, think about the happy memories. Don't be sad..be happy. Your loved ones wanted to be the reason of your smile...not the cause of your tears. Be happy that you got to know them and got to spend time with them even if it's a short period...and don't say such things. Live your life the fullest untill the last day comes. Okay? '

Taehyung was looking at the prince in awe. He never knew Jungkook has this mature yet gently caring side. He was totally swept away by his words. Jungkook noticed this amazed look in his eyes and smiled fondly
- ' What? '
- ' You...uh....I mean...you....'
- ' Me what!'
- ' You're...quite a speaker! Like.. your words are..'
- ' Mature, positive and comforting? '
Taehyung smiled and nodded
- ' Exactly! That's what I mean. Who said you're rude...you're such a kind and-'
- ' In case you're forgetting Mr. Kim.. you're the one who gave the awesome name "rude prince". '
Taehyung giggled and layed on the grass
- ' Sorry Jungkook....you deserve another title. '
Jungkook smilingly layed down besides him
- ' What? '
- ' The most loveliest Prince on earth. '
Jungkook laughed out
- ' You're not peculiar either...you're just deep and interesting. '
- ' Really? Is that a compliment? '
- ' Maybe? '
- ' Can't you just say " yes Taehyung, I just complimented you ". '
- ' Prince Jeon doesn't give compliments that easily Mr. Kim. Try harder. '
- ' Kim Taehyung doesn't try for compliments. Compliments find their ways to him. '

Both of them looked at each other and laughed out....clearly forgetting the sorrows in their hearts.

As they're holding each others in both thick and thin, the bond between the scientist and the Jeon Prince is getting stronger day by day.

But is that all or there are some hidden emotions somewhere?
