The Things We Cannot Say

.27.

"Good morning sunshine!" He hears a familiar voice waking him up. Instead of trees above him, he saw Hoseok's face.

"Wait what am I doing here?"

"Exactly, you said you were going to leave in the pouring rain and you end up in the common room out of nowhere?" Yoongi shook his head.

"We were actually searching for you, you know that? People said they never saw you go back home.You left the day before yesterday and appear today?"

Taehyung hesitated.

"Where did you go Tae?" Hoseok sits beside him while Yoongi orders someone outside to bring a towel.

Yoongi sits down beside Hoseok.

Taehyung bit his lip. "I... I don't know..."

Hoseok scrunched his face, concerned. He felt Taehyung's forehead and sighed.

"You are heating up Tae... What were you doing? Sleeping in the rain?"

Yoongi took Taehyung's hand and held it in his.

"I don't know if you are hiding something, or actually don't know. Whatever it is, I just want you to know that you can tell us."

"I'm.. I'm sorry."

Taehyung looked away and his eyes landed on the lily flower behind him.

He slowly took the flower and looked up at his hyungs.

"Did you guys keep this here?"

The elders shook their head. "It was by you the whole time."

Taehyung held the flower close to his chest.

"I'll tell you."

Yoongi and Hoseok were caught off guard. "Really?"

"Yeah. I... I don't know if this actually happened or not but there is this big place with a big gArden full of flowers in the mountains. There is also a cottage there."

Hoseok cocked his head sideways. "Really?"

Taehyung nodded excitedly. "And I somehow woke up in the middle of it. I saw Jungkook too!"

Seeing Taehyung squeal, the elder males laughed.

"Oh, did you?"

"YEAH WE EVEN KI- HUGGED! And then after a while, I started to feel sick, because I didn't eat for a long time, and possibly soaked in the rain for a while. So he made porridge and meat for me. It was really tasty. But then I had to come back. I felt really tired so we decided to take a break under a tree. I slept without realising, and I'm here. Jungkook probably brought me here."

Yoongi laughed. "Or you sleepwalked."

Taehyung scratched his head. "Way to ruin the mood hyung."

Hoseok brought in the towel from the guards outside and gave it to Tae.

"Well, Taehyung..." Yoongi looked at the younger and stared out the window for a long time, so much so that he seemed to be communicating with something. " We have to go. I wouldn't be coming back for a while, because I have to start my training. But feel free to stop by the palace."

Hoseok passed a cloth bag with cleaner and more vibrant Hanboks to Taehyung. He also gave him two metal badges with symbols on them.

"When you and Jimin come over to the palace, wear these Hanboks and bring the badges along with y'all. You would be able to enter easily." Hoseok smiled.

On the way home, Taehyung's thoughts went back to the Tiger Lily.

Am I actually going crazy or am I already crazy?

Jungkook, what is even happening?
