Plop plop
Little drops of rain fell all around Namjoon. He walked past the old library building smiling at the rush of memories that flew into his brain in black and white images.
Even if he was just nine years old when he left his home city he still could remember his way around. He had gone cycling through the town alot, on his own and with the doe eyed boy , Jungkook.
He didn't know what had happened to the younger but in his memories the laughter and the image of the boy remained perfectly.
Passing over the little bridge that ran over the tiny brook, the male smiled again as memories flooded his brain.
Flashback
Two little school boys walked hand in hand carrying their backpacks towards the water body carefully. " Joon hyung will we be able to really find crabs here ? " The young boy asked the older.
" Mhm we will Kookie. Hyung found several crabs when we went to the beach last time. Crabs are my friends so they will easily come out of their hiding places. If we don't harm them they won't harm us too. " He smiled looking at the other kneeling down close to the tiny stream.
" If a crab bites me will hyung save Jungkookie ? " The doe eyed boy copied his hyung kneeling down close to him. " Will you give my finger kisses like you did when I cut my thumb yesterday? " He showed the older the dinosaur bandaid on his finger.
Namjoon took his hand placing a soft kiss over the bandaid. " Of course ! My Jungkookie will get lots of kisses. Kisses can help heal anything. My mom says even broken hearts "
Jungkook nodded listening to his hyung and they both sat for ages looking for crabs. Almost losing hope the younger pouted looking at Joon. " I don't think the crabs like me hyung. They don't want to be my friend. "
The older cupped the smaller boy's face between his hands looking close. He gently poked on the soft pouting lips. " Hey hey Jungkookie.. everyone wants to be your friend. They must be thinking that you're too cool for them and that they'd never be able to be your friend. How about this.. wanna make paper boats and float them in the water ? "
" Yes ! Yes ! Let's do it " a bright smile replaced the pout instantly. Grabbing a book from his backpack Joon carefully tore up two pages. He handed one over to Jungkook and the two started building their boats. They both carefully placed the paper structures on the water watching them float away with the water.
Jungkook clapped jumping happily. " Yay! Go go ! We did it Joojoo! "
