ONE HELL OF A NEIGHBOUR

"Why when it comes down to the three of you, I can't shake the feeling that you're up to no good?" Taehyun's mom eyed the group of friends, who by the way look anything but not suspicious right now.

Since Kai, Yeonjun and her firstborn - Taehyun were friends since early childhood, playing around and always getting in trouble together, momma Kang likes to think that she's seen it all by now. But in times like this, when all three of them show up in her living room, staining the floor with dirty shoes, faces painted with dirt and clothes full of stains from mud she's not so sure about that anymore. Especially since they're wielding shovels to comlete their messy looks, along with empty buckets and Yeonjun with Kai are painting heavily, like they've just completed a marathon. Oh and don't forget the axe, that Taehyun is casually holding in his hand.

"It was... Tyun's idea..." Yeonjun gasps for air between words, clearly being out of breath.

"The less I know, the better I sleep at night." Momma Kang shake her head, looking reproachfully at all the mess they created in her living room. She's use to her son being in charge, despite Yeonjun being the oldest. But as much as she's proud of her Taehyunnie being natural born leader, she's also aware that sometimes his ideas are at least a bit... controvertial. "Just remember - if you're staying for dinner be sure to wash yourself! And shoo, get out of my house with those shoes and dirty shovels!"

They rush outside, shouting Thank you Eomma, for being so chill about the mess, abandoning their tools in Kang's backyard. Quickly, they barricade themselves in tree house, resting on the floor among old pillows.

"My legs are killing me..." Of course is Yeonjun that starts the spiral of complaining.

"Legs? I feel my arm muscles that I didn't even know that existed before being sore from all that shovel work." Kai groans, trying to strech said arms but wincing in pain miserably.

"You should be used to digging, you're a gardener after all." Taehyun, the only one who doesn't look completely wrecked, just casually leaning against the wall, looking outside the window while using old binoculars.

"But I'm use to planting, not destroying public roads by digging massive holes!"

"And filling them with countless bucket of water. A don't you even dare to say it's same concept as watering plants" Yeonjun isn't holding back on his snarky remarks either, but Taehyun as always is getting all smarty, talking back right away.

"Well, firstly it's just a dirt road, secondary it only leads to one house, so it's a slight public danger of arc!"

To that one particular house to be specific.

Cause exactly today is the D-day - the one when the rumored owner is suppose to show up and Taehyun with his friends were plotting for days how to makes his arrival a bit... unpleasant. And that escalated to them spending half of the previous night and today's morning on digging the biggest and nasties holes in the only road that leads to the house on the hill. But that wasn't enough for Taehyun, no, no. Thay also turned it into almost swap area - by carrying countless bucket with waters from Kang's house, filling freshly diged holes and turning everything into muddy mess. Taehyun even went so far that with a help of his axe he cut down one of the trees from nearby forest, and made his friends carry the trunk to succesfully block the road. Good luck with getting here by car Taehyun chuckles to himself, already imagining how suspecting nothing owner will curse once he'll have to carry his luggage all the way up to the hilll.
