Red String of Fate (Taekook AU)

Spin off 1: Dance with the Devil - part 1

August 2083

The Mountain House was calming down after another exciting day. Hwasa and Dragon plopped down on the couch in the living room exhausted to the core. Having three seven-year old clever and lively kids around brough as much happiness as longing for silence. So they gladly pushed the rest of responsibilities over the younger ones. Minji, Hoseok, Namjoon and Jin could now have the battle with the trio about 8 pm being too early to bathe and sleep.

'Jungkook and Taehyung weren't this exhausting....' Jiyoung sighed. 'Actually having the whole Red String wasn't this exhausting!'

'Because you weren't an old fart and they were older when you finally met them.' Hwasa put her elbow into his side. 'Besides they always had their little world for themselves and goals only known to them.'

'I love those little devils but I am happy they live so far away.' Dragon sighed.

'You will miss them as soon as they get inside the car.' Hwasa snorted and sipped her tea.

They both looked at the ceiling hearing a loud noise from above.

'WHAT HAPPENED?!' they heard Jin yelling from the other part of the house.

'Nothing! Situation is under control!' Hoseok yelled back and they heard loud giggles.

'Sure.' Hwasa and Dragon said under their noses and looked inside their cups , pretending they didn't hear anything.

Hoseok entered the bedroom and blinked, surprised, seeing only Haemin sitting on the bed. He blinked and looked around. He was sure he left all three of them in this exact bed 10 minutes ago.

'Where is your sister and her partner in crime?' he asked.

Haemin shrugged.

'They are just checking something...'

'What are they checking?'

'Something.'

'Sweetheart... where are they?' Hoseok asked patiently.

'Dunno.' Haemin shrugged.

Minji stood behind Hobi.

'Hae! Don't try to play innocent! You know where they are! They left you here as a decoy!'

'What is decoy?' Haemin blinked innocently.

'You...' Minji took a deep breath. 'You know exactly what it is!'

Haemin could look like a little angel and for sure he was the most reasonable and careful out of the three but he was the master of manipulation.

Haemin got out of the bed and walked to the shelf with books.

'Young man, if you think I will let it go just because you will ask to read you a story...' Minji started, but Haemin just took out a dictionary.

'Ma, I am just checking what "decoy" means...' he looked at her with puppy eyes.

Hoseok sighed, defeated.

'I will look for them...' he turned around. 'Let's give Jin and Namjoon a second to take a shower in peace.'

Minji squinted her eyes.

'Don't you want to join your besties, Hae?' she asked cleverly.

Haemin focused on the dictionary, looking for the word.

'Was it your idea?'

'What idea, Ma?'

'Whatever those devils are doing.'
