Funny how things could change in the blink of an eye. Or in this case, in a smirk.
Self-consciousness started to creep in. Taehyung did not treat me any differently. He was still the same sweet, caring and happy friend to me. Except there are now sporadic moments of silence when he would stare into my eyes and not utter a single word.
If I had known back then what I know now...I would have bottled those moments for future consumption. Not that it's possible.
But the moments were there. Forever etched in my brain and embedded in my heart.
That summer of shift felt like a lifetime but in a good way. Taehyung and I did the usual things. Sometimes, J-Min and J-Hope would join us, if the latter was not busy with one of his girlfriends.
Like my sisters, the twins are total opposites. J-Hope was flirty and outgoing and J-Min was the more introspective and sensitive one. He never voiced it out, but I think J-Min felt that shift as well between myself and Taetae.
One day, we ventured to the riverbank. It was unusually quiet; hardly anyone was there. Taetae and I walked side by side; threw pebbles into the water and watched the ripples they created.
The world was at peace. No words were uttered and we were content.
From out of the blue....."PFTTTTT'!
Holy mother of God. DID. I. JUST. FART?????
Taehyung did not laugh but innocently asked 'who was that?'. There was no one else around us.
Jungkook to earth: 'please swallow me whole NOW!'
The most beautiful moment of my life has been immortalized by my fart.
