Author's POV:

(In the hotel room)

"I'm not doing this anymore!"
Yoongi slapped his pen on the table and leaned back on the chair.
"This is so tiring! Ugh, I'm dying! I travelled all the way here, and I still need to work?!"
"Why don't we go out and have some fun? We should loosen up a little~"
Hoseok suggested.
"Agreed."
"You guys can go yourselves, I need to get some sleep. I'm dying from exhaustion after transferring flights."
Namjoon flopped on the bed and pulled up the covers.
"Let's go out then. Where do you wanna go? I'll take the lead!" Hoseok said brightly.
'As expected from him, his energy recovery ability is really at max... And to think that I was even worried for him...'
"I wanna go above and beyond." He said pointing up.
"Huh??"
...
Yoongi was zoned out.
"Yoongi, Yoongi!"
He came back to his senses.
"Ah... Huh?"
"Your ice cream... It's gonna melt if you don't eat it soon."
"Shit! How did you find this?!"
Yoongi said leaning forward and looking down.  His ice cream fell down and he only had the cone left with him. They were on a hot air balloon.
"This is the first time I've sat on a hot air balloon!" 'We're so high up...'
He grabbed Hoseok's hand.
'Ah... Is this what a hot air balloon looks like... It's so beautiful...' He looked at the older.
'I've always wondered why is he the unique one... Why can he make me see colours...'
He held his finger.
'I only got the chance to see colours, because of you... The reason is no longer important.'
He let go of his finger.
"Thank you."
Yoongi started blushing.
"W-what are you thanking me for~ I'm the one who should be thanking you. I was always spending my time in the studio, I haven't even done much shopping on my own before. Even if I go on a business trip, I usually just come and go quickly. This time, you've brought me to many places you also took care of me along the way... You even bought me ice cream..."
He looked at the cone in his hand.
"Yeah, I actually kinda like ice cream..."
"My younger brother really loves ice cream too, but he only had it once."
Hoseok said gloomily.
Yoongi finished the cone.
'He has a younger brother?'

Hoseok's POV:

I recalled the incident after I took Jaehyun to eat ice cream.

We were at the hospital. He was admitted because his asthma got triggered. My mom and dad were scolding me.
"Your brother can't have any ice, didn't you know?! Why did you take him out for ice cream?!"
"Enough! Who told you to bring him along? He couldn't even look after himself properly! And you expect him to look after someone else?! Useless trash!"
My dad shouted.

"Because... His asthma would get triggered whenever he eats ice cream." I continued.
I can't take care of anyone, and I'm not as good as how you put it. I don't deserve your gratitude... I couldn't even provide you with any help while I'm by your side... I almost forgot that we should be living our lives in parallel paths that shouldn't have crossed in first place. I shouldn't have used you. I was wrong.
"Actually, before I met you, I was moving around non-stop in my life. I always thought it's nice doing an honest piece of work , just like what you're doing. I wanted to settle down too."
I said turning to see him.
"Do you still remember the shop owner previously? He said I could work for him at his shop."
He looked at me, bewildered .
I'm sorry, Yoongi. I'm trying to fix my mistakes. Hopefully, it's not too late.
"I won't be leaving with you guys tomorrow."
