THE PROPHECY ( TOP TAE VERSION) ♡

76. Festival

" Happy birthday JungKookie.....!!!! " Jimin and Jaemin cheered and shook sleepy Kookie who is sleeping on Taehyung's bed

" Aahm!!! What!!! " Kookie mumbled in sleep... " I'm home?? Hhhow did I came here??!! " Kookie saw the room and the blurry images of all his loved people standing around him, all in white tiger plushies , except Taehyung...

" How am I here??! " Kookie asked

" I brought you.. You slept on the rock... " Taehyung's raspy voice answered standing behind others leaning on the door frame. Kookie corrected his messy hair and straightened his dress to look presentable in front of Tae.

" You look beautiful as usual in your morning hair... Pretty as always!! Happy birthday baby!!! " Tae smirks at Kookie..

" Come on Kookie... Get up ! Get up!! Important day... We gonna cut cake and celebrate now!! " Jimin said and pulled Kookie out of the bed..

Breakfast along with cake cuttings and celebrations are over, everyone are happy, except Kookie. He thought its going to be his last birthday. He wore a bright smile on his face but he is tormented to core.

After silly cake fights and chasing amoung the kids, Jin tiredly layed beside Namjoon on couch, laughing and panting because of the chase and the game. Tae is adoring them. Kookie also dropped down near Namjoon and buried his face on Namjoon's lap .

Everything went silent for seconds, but Namjoon slightly wiped Kookie's eyes. Namjoon has been watching Kookie for last one week, he felt really bad for Kookie and even considered talking about this to Tae.

But considering the greater good and after effects, Namjoon decided the current decision is the best one, but he can't supress his sympathy for Kookie. He grew more close with Kookie and also Kookie consider him as his closest brother.

" I'm here Kookie... I'm here... Everything gonna bring alright... I'll be there for you... Don't cry... "

Namjoon whispered in Kookie's ears. He knew he couldn't do anything about it, yet he comfort that little boy silently to make him calm. Lately whenever Kookie feels lonely Namjoon comforted him with his sweet words.

Taehyung was in attic packing some clothes for rock home. He might need them as he had to shift in to his tiger form while receiving the festival offerings and after when they gonna dig out the crown.

Tae doesn't know that Jimin and Yoongi are planning to dig out the crown in his absence. Suddenly Jimin enters the room with some box in his hand, when he opened it, it is the leather collar of Tae.

" Where did you get this?! " Tae asked smiling at his son..

" Eomma's chamber. Wear it appa... It looks good on you... I saw you wearing it in a portrait.. "

" It's not a beauty accessory Jiminah!! It's a magical belt to control the rage of my tiger to stop him from transforming... I have my tiger under control... No need for this... "

" Yeah!!! I heard about it.... I want you to wear it today.... Please.. "

" Why??! Trust me..My tiger is under my control... There is nothing gonna happen beyond me... We are not in war or something to make my tiger furious... So no need"

" You know anything can happen today... Please.... Listen to me... I have this feeling.... You need this....Appa!!!" Jimin said and it reminded Ghuk's final words..

Listen to me Tae hyung!!

Don't go... I have a bad feeling about this!!

" Ok Jiminah!!! I will wear this... " Tae tried to take it from Jimim's hand, but Jimin came close to his Appa and helped him wear the beld, Tae bent down a little to make it easy for his short son.
