ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

DIFFERENT FROM THE NORMAL (39)

- ' And why do you think that? '
- ' Because...that day...he behaved pretty oddly. That's not him. Something is not right...something is changed. '
- ' If he said exactly what you told...then..  yes...something is changed. That's not the usual Taehyung. '

2 days after their outings ended, Jimin and Jungkook were sitting in the balcony in the afternoon. It was raining outside. Cold splash of wind were touching them every now and then.

Jungkook was telling Jimin about the conversation with Taehyung at the park.

- ' But..why? What do you think? Like.... you're his friend, too. Has he ever told you something like that? '
Jimin shook his head
- ' No. I know he loves me as his friend and will support me in hard times.. but he never said it...and definitely not like that. '
- ' Then why he said that to me? '

- ' Who said what, Jungkook?'

Both of them turned back and found Namjoon.
- ' Sorry...I came here to call you guys for evening tea. No intension to eavesdrop.'
Jimin smiled
- ' No no, it's okay hyung..we were just.. talking....'
Jimin said the last part eyeing Jungkook and he completed the sentence
- ' About Taehyung. We were talking about Taehyung. '

Namjoon looked between both of the princes and tried to process what they said.
- ' About... Tae? '
- ' Yes hyung. '
- ' Uh....he did something? But he was behaving pretty friendly with you, right? '
Jungkook looked at Jimin and he answered
- ' Well...yes..definitely. He's a very good friend. But...the thing is that...'

Then Jimin told everything they were discussing to Namjoon in details and the scientist went silent.

- 'What do you think hyung? Why he said that to me? Am I overthinking? Is this his normal behavior? '
- ' No Jungkook. Taehyung is not the type who'll say some cheesy lines like that. Yeah he's supporting and caring...  but he doesn’t show it often. Something is...really...not..normal. '
- ' Then? What should I do? Should I ask him what's wrong? '
- ' No...you just act as usual. If something is really wrong...he will come to me. '

Both of the princes looked at him questioningly and he smiled
- ' He has this habit since childhood. Whenever something bothered him, I was the first person he always came running to for answers. Let's just wait untill he does that. I'll tell you what he said. Okay? '
- ' Okay hyung. Thank you. '
Namjoon smiled and ruffled Jungkook's hair
- ' You're nothing less than Tae to me Jungkook. Anything for you. Now let's go to downstairs or else your hyung will come finding us by himself! '
Both of them laughed at the mention of Seokjin
- ' You're really afraid of Jin hyung, right?'
- ' Definitely not. I just want don’t want him to bother about anything. I just want him to be happy and peaceful... I just wanna support him. That's all. Now come fast. '

As Namjoon departed, Jungkook looked at Jimin
- ' What's wrong with this brother duo? Hyung is saying somewhat same things about Jin hyung....like Taehyung told me. '
- ' Uh....no idea Jungkook. Maybe... they're..feeling something but not realizing? '

Something is going in the minds of the Kim brothers....

But what?
