Chapter 37 Upon the Road, the Flowers Are Blooming

🎶 After all the hot summers &and all the cold winters
After all the dry autumns & all the wet rainfalls
Across the sandy deserts & Across the dense forests
Across the deep oceans & Across the endless Sky
Across the wind Mountains & Across the narrow streets
After all these toughest days & after all scary night
I'll reach you (BTS)
One day , some day.🎶🎶
♥️ HEARTSTRING ♥️

B City's blistering heat continued for many days. Even if it was the evening, the heat didn't even cool down a degree.
The meeting proceeded until six before breaking.
Afterwards, Yoongi tailed Taehyung to his office, wanting to find an excuse to b.u.m a dinner off. He carelessly sat down on the sofa. Yoongi started on an improper topic: "I say, you and our faculty beauty just decided to live apart?"
Taehyung walked behind the desk and bent down, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, "Without a proper t.i.tle and no qualifications, what do you want me to do?"
Listen, listen!
The words! The tone!
You too have this day!
Yoongi was happy, very happy in his heart but very carefully didn't not let this type of emotion spill out. This person in front of him was very perceptive, and he still owed this guy a few hundred dollars.
"Oh, this thing, pretty tragic." Yoongi brought out an expression of sympathy, and was planning on throwing out a "we are both lonely people, why don't we go eat dinner together?" when he saw Taehyung close the computer, looking like he was leaving. Yoongi paled.
"Leaving this early today?"
"En."
"Doing what?"
"Getting married and having kids."
At the exact same time in Busan City, it was storming rain. In a s.p.a.cious and luxious villa's den, Jungkook was walking a little boy through middle-school level questions.
"First make a line connecting the corners, then make an a.s.sisting line from this side, we can conclude the following relationships ... ... and using the proper relationships ... ... solve like this ... ... understand?"
The little boy seemed to want to cry and shook his head, looking at Jungkook with eyes of confusion.
"Um, no problem, let's go over it again."
Last week when Jungkook returned home, before he could spend some quality time with his parents, he was sent by Daddy here to give his factory manager's son some tutoring. He also rejected Jungkook's request for a cellphone, saying: "When it's time, you can use your money from tutoring to buy it."
Every time Jungkook thought of it, he couldn't help but wanted to cry. If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have spent the scholarship money he had gotten before. Thankfully this child was very obedient and easy to teach.
After changing his way of explaining, the boy understood. he took him though another two questions. The rain finally stopped and Jungkook hurriedly said farewell and left.
After the storm, the sun was still stubbornly trying to peek out, but the strength was very weak. The air seemed to carry the special type of crisp and cold smell that came after rain. Facing the cool night wind, Jungkook rode his bike. he wore a green straw hat, traversing the crooked streets to quickly rush home.
There were important things to do today.
Getting home, eating dinner and washing up took to almost seven. Jungkook greeted his parents before squeezing into his bedroom and putting on earphones. Opening the computer and logging on to the game, Taehyung was already there.
Jungkook adjusted the microphone: "How long have you been here? It was raining today, I came back late."
Jungkook was using voice chat.
Before in the dorms, he had been afraid of disturbing his dormmates so he basically used only typing to communicate. It certainly wasn't the case at home. he did what was most convenient. His parent's bedroom was on the other side of the living room, he wasn't afraid of them hearing anything after locking the door.
Taehyung replied: "Just got on."
"Oh, get married now?"
Jungkook was, of course, not referring to the two of them, but to the tiger pets' marriage.
These last few days the only thing Jungkook did other than tutor was to take the pet to level up. Even though pets could also get married by level 30, but on the wedding night the attributes and techniques of the two partners could affect the quality of the next generation. So Jungkook waited until he levelled his pet up to the maximum level to take his and Taehyung's tiger to get married.
Marriage between pets was pretty simple. You had to take them to the G.o.d of Beasts to receive a blessing. But the wedding night was complicated.
First, they need to have a new room
Pets had their self-respect too. They wouldn't do xxoo under the sky. So players had to construct in their own homes a new room for them. The last days Jungkook and Taehyung split the jobs. Jungkook took his pet to level up. Taehyung was responsible for buying and constructing the room.
Secondly, it had to be at night, after eight o'clock.
It was the same speech. Pets had their own self-respect. They wouldn't do it in the light of the day. Everything had to be done furtively in the middle of the night.
After fulfilling these two conditions, okay, the wedding night could start.
Jungkook and Tae took the pets to marry, waited until eight and sent them into the bridal chambers.
According to the players on the forums, the scene when the pets were having their wedding night was very vulgar. The room would continue to shake and there would be pink hearts continuously coming out of the roof.
But Jungkook was unlucky enough to not see such a scene, because when they just put the pets in, the system reminded him ––
"Sorry, your pet has not been born for 150 hours. It is a minor and cannot perform xx actions."
... ...
Could this game be any more s.a.d.i.s.tic? They met the level required to get married but couldn't have a wedding night? The system once again broke its own record for ridiculousness.
Jungkook stared with mouth and eyes wide open for a long while. he asked Taehyung : "Dream 2 wouldn't be as ridiculous as this, right?"
"It won't be."
Taehyung rejected resolutely. After a few second, he slowly said: "Only this degree ... ..."
Jungkook could only stay silent.
And be silent even more.
From the door came the sound of familiar footsteps. Jungkook said "My mom's coming" and quickly took off the earphones and produced the appearance of browsing online.
Kook Mommy only perfunctorily knocked before push and entering. She raised her hand and directly wiped on Jungkook's face, and muttered as she kept on wiping: "Why should a boy go study something like computers. I heard people say if they stare too long at the screen, their face would become quadrilateral too. Radiation is also not good for the skin, before going online you should always put on some protection ... ..."
Jungkook was used to it and didn't resist the efforts to rub at his face. he argued: "Then mom, you shouldn't let me wash dishes, the detergent isn't good for the skin on my hands."
Kook Mommy said: "Then you wash the vegetables."
The Kook family was very clear on the division of labor for cooking. Kook Mommy was the vegetable washer, Kook Daddy was the chef and Jungkook was the dishwasher. But Jungkook really didn't like washing dishes, but washing vegetables ... ...
he'll stay on washing dishes.
Kook Mommy rejected his son's unreasonable request and felt very good about herself. After finishing rubbing the lotion on him, she smugly went on her way. At the instant she closed the door, Jungkook yelled: "Mom, you should watch less TV, the TV is also quadrilateral."
Jungkook put his earphones back on. It was silent on Taehyung's side. Jungkook asked: "What are you doing?"
"Investigating dishwashers."
"... ..."
Taehyung supplemented: "I don't like washing dishes either."
"... ... You eavesdropped on us talking."
"Oh, I don't mind listening in openly and honourably."
Jungkook coughed; "... ... The sprouts of a revolution, if exposed to light too early, will be killed."
Jungkook didn't talk to hus parents about the thing with Taehyung. Not taking into account that his dad was opposed to him having a relationship during university, just his mom's ability to want to know everything and instinct to boast, if she talked, it wouldn't take three days before all his relatives knew he had a boyfriend.
Taehyung corrected him: "Jungkookie, sprouts need light, those that don't need light are beans."
... ... how cold. Taehyung was deserving of being called Master. Even his bad jokes were on the level of G.o.ds. In the summer, the people who heard them felt very cold.
"You didn't open the air conditioning, right?"
>o
Okay, he was cold too... ...
Jungkook didn't want to chat anymore with him: "I'm going to take the tiger to waste time, you work on your things."
"En."
It was always like this in these days. Earphones on, if they want to say something, they would say a bit, if they didn't want to talk then they would each do their own thing. A lot of the time, when he was programming, Jungkook would, on his side, take his pet to level up, watch some movies, and occasionally look at the programming books he brought back.
Sometimes, they wouldn't speak for half an hour but they wouldn't feel awkward.
Eunwoo was very disdainful of their way of communication. he said that after all that, it didn't have any meaning since they ended back in the game online. They at least needed to find a good place to have a vacation or something.
Jungkook didn't agree. There was nothing wrong with the game. It had mountains, it had water and it had Taehyung. It clearly was very romantic.
And it also saved on the telephone fees >o
Listening to Taehyung's gentle rhythmic strokes of the keyboard, Jungkook wandered aimlessly in the game with his tiger.
In reality, Taehyung was working very hard. He would frequently write code or plan deep into the night. To make a MMORPG, if you wanted to follow the majority, it would be very easy and didn't require somebody of Taehyung's abilities to work. He only needed to make a prototype and divide it to give to other people. But if the goal was to create something new, he must spend lots of energy and time on making a new engine, writing the main code and structure everything in place.
Perhaps, it was that the so-called geniuses, who had to work much harder than normal people.
After wasting time in the game, a hungry Kook Daddy made a pot of wonton and called for Jungkook to eat as well. Jungkook, under the lamenting gaze of his mother, stuffed his belly full and walked back to his room. he boasted to Taehyung about the talents of his father and asked what Taehyung had at for dinner.
Taehyung replied: "Forgot, but I'm a bit hungry now."
Jungkook wanted to say that he should go find something but remembered that Taehyung's parents were off somewhere digging. At the moment, there was just him at home.
Jungkook though for a bit, sneakily opening the bedroom door for a look. There wasn't anybody in the living room so he slipped out, and made a long-distance call. After a while, he crept back in and asked Taehyung: "Do you have change?"
The sound of the keyboard didn't change. A certain person could multi-task very well, "En?"
"Nothing."
After about half an hour, Taehyung said: "Somebody's knocking, I'm going to check."
Jungkook smiled widely.
After another ten minutes, from the other side came the sound of the earphones being put on.
"You called for takeout?"
"Yeah, their beef noodles are pretty good.' Jungkook was pretty satisfied with himself. Luckily, he had accidentally found out his home address last time, otherwise he couldn't order for him.
"Why were you gone that long?"
"Didn't have change, had to go borrow from the neighbors."
Jungkook sweated.
Taehyung laughed, "Do you know who my neighbor is?"
O... ... It's not the president of the university, right?"
"Our dean."
... ...
... ...
Their aimless chat continued all the way until eleven when Jungkook was rushed to bed by his mom who had finished watching TV. But he laid in bed and couldn't sleep. Jungkook climbed back up.
In the calm night, under the light of the stars, Jungkook sat by the window, lightly humming and looked at the moon.
This was a very normal day, even all that satisfaction and happiness arose out of the trivial and common matters and concerns.
At the end of the month, Daddy Taehyung and Mommy Jungkook finally welcomed the arrival of a little tiger. But this tiger was born unhealthy and the attributes were strangely weak. Even though a divine craft with anothers divine craft might not have an immortal level offspring, but to be this weak was very rare. This was probably called too much of a good thing is actually bad.
A lot of players when they find out it's a weak pet would throw it away. Jungkook couldn't do so and found a lot of herbs and medicines to rescue it. At the end, he finally managed to raise the attributes a little bit.
After another few days, Jungkook finished a whole month of tutoring. A slightly tanned Jungkook, due to running back and forth everyday, took his two thousand in wages and went shopping for a cellphone.
Jungkook's shopping was very efficient.
The brand didn't need to be chosen, Taehyung's.
The model didn't need to be chosen, just like his.
The color, Taehyung's cellphone was silvery white, he chose green instead.
En, he definitely didn't want to do some sort of matching! It was just ... ... trusting Taehyung's choices ^_^
On the road home, Jungkook kept on thinking what message he should send to Taehyung. This would be the first message he would be sending from his new phone, it had to have meaning.
An idea sprouted when he reached home, Jungkook sent this kind of message over.
"Korean Gui Corporation Twentieth Anniversary. The company would like to give back to society and has done a lottery. Your number has been chosen to receive the third prize, the prize being a laptop computer. After paying the taxes and handling fees of one thousand dollars, we will send the prize over to you."
This type of fraudulent text message, when Eunwoo received one, he would always read it out loud for everybody. Jungkook had heard many of them so composing this message didn't require any effort. To make it seem more authentic, Jungkook also took out his own bank card and sent over the account number.
Finished writing, he admired it twice and sent it out.
Hehe, Taehyung would most certainly think this text was a spam message and delete it. At night when he will tell him he was the one who sent it, his reaction would be most amusing.
This type of text, n.o.body would reply to. Jungkook went to eat after sending it. As he ate, he thought about how he would accuse him ––I sent you a text and you ignored me!
As Jungkook thought, he started laughing to himself.
Unexpectedly, as he ate, a sound came out of his cellphone. he hadn't given his number to anyone yet so n.o.body should be sending him a message. Jungkook curiously looked over.
Sender: 777795559
What was this?
Open.
h.e.l.lo Jeon Jungkook ! Taehyung used the online transfer service of X Bank to transfer into your account with ending number x.x.xX 1000 Won. Accompanying message: None.
Jungkook was shocked.
Brushing off his parent's questioning gazes, Jungkook took his phone and hid in his room to make a call. The phone was very quickly picked up. Jungkook's first sentence was: "Why would you actually transfer money, it's a fraud scheme."
Jungkook was embarra.s.sed enough to die.
At the other side, Taehyung laughed lowly and slowly said: "I know you were trying to trick me."
Jungkook's heart stopped when he said it, and lapsed into a state of speechlessness. After a long while he asked: "How did you know it was me?"
"Check the location of the phone. Coincidentally it was in the same city as you."
Uh... ...
"You'll check the location of every fraudulent message you receive?"
Taehyung, what type of hobbies do you have?
"No, but the bank number you gave seemed very familiar so I check. Jungkookie, your skills aren't up to par, you don't even know how to write an account number."
Taehyung started to criticize him.
Jungkook was embarra.s.sed. So that's where the mistake had been, but he had only used his card once in front of him to take out some cash. He remembered from that?
he totally lost to him!
"You know it was me and still transferred ... ..."
"Buy an airplane ticket."
Jungkook froze.
At the other side of the phone in B City, inside an office, Taehyung leaned back in the chair with his phone. He stared at one spot. It was a blooming cactus. His gaze was warm as he looked at the tender yellow buds.
"Jungkookie, the flowers are blooming, you can travel slowly."
