But you ♪

Third Person's POV

"I see y'all are enjoying without me."
Taehyung and Jungkook just entered into Taehyung's apartment after Taehyung explain everything - revealed a very small yet an important part of his life - to Jungkook.
Jungkook was a bit disappointed when he couldn't remember the moments he spent with Taehyung as a kid. It wasn't unusual though, Taehyung himself doesn't have clear memories as well - they were literally kids, so it's usual that they don't have clear memories of their childhood.

Jaehyun, Eun-ae and Mrs. Kim, Taehyung's grandma turned their head towards the source of sound, only to see Jungkook looking at them with narrowed eyes, hands folded over his chest and Taehyung just standing beside him with a small smile.
"You go sit with them, I'll get you something to eat. Also, freshen up first." Taehyung said before walking off to his room as he excused himself from the other three elders.

"So when were you two going to tell me that you know nana? I feel betrayed!" Jungkook said as he sat beside Mrs. Kim after freshening up.
"How are you, nana?" He quickly turned to his side to hug Mrs. Kim, who happily wrapped her arms around the younger.
"I'm good, Jungkook-ah. The pain is very light for now." Mrs. Kim replied and Jungkook grinned at her answer, he was glad she isn't in too much pain anymore.

"Eomma, don't let this kid fool you with his innocent looks, he's a brat." Jaehyun said with a small teasing smirk.
"Why? Are you jealous that nana loves me more than you?" Jungkook squinted his eyes at his Dad.
"You're so delusional, my son. Eomma can never love you more than me, I'm just like her son, in fact I consider myself as her son." Jaehyun said with a small smirk.
Eun-ae and Mrs. Kim just enjoying the banter between the father and son duo.
"I'm like her grandson too, she loves me more than you. She even makes me delicious food as well." Jungkook said proudly, shifting closer to Mrs. Kim and wrapping his arms around her protectively, a small pout resting on his lips.
"Do you know how many times she has cooked me delicious meals when I was of your age? We used to visit her daily and she would make the most delicious food for us." Jaehyun countered back.
"That's cheating! You cannot bring up the time when I was literally swimming inside your body." Jungkook dramatically yelled out.
"Yah Jungkook! Control your tongue. What kind of language you're using?" Eun-ae glared at her son, not expecting him to speak such absurd thing.
"Oh no Eun, don't you dare scold my baby like that." Mrs. Kim also warned Eun-ae playfully, making Jungkook grin, his dimples on display.
"Let's ask nana, whom she loves more." Suddenly Taehyung's deep voice came from behind as he descended down the stairs.
When Jungkook looked at Taehyung, his breathe hitched.
Taehyung was wearing nothing but a purple sweatpant, hanging low on his waist, making the waistband of his boxer visible. His honey skin on display, moles spread all over his abs and pecs. Taehyung's abs aren't as toned as Jungkook's, but it's still very prominent and Jungkook can't help but drool over the well defined body.
He has seen Taehyung's bare body before as well and everytime it makes Jungkook speechless. Taehyung is really good looking from every part of his body.

"That's right! So Eomma who do you love more?" Jaehyun asked as he cleared his throat, breaking Jungkook out of his daze, his cheeks turning red instantly when he noticed the knowing look his dad was giving him.
"Of course I love Jungkook-ie more, he's a good kid, not a troublemaker like you." Mrs. Kim playfully said to Jaehyun who placed his hand over his heart, dramatically.
"I'm hurt, eomma."

"Taehyung, why're you holding that medicine tube? Did something happen to you? Are you hurt somewhere?" Eun-ae asked as she stood up from the couch and walked upto Taehyung.
"Oh no no aunt. It's just.....I got rashes on my back, I don't know how....so I was just about to ask nana to apply this cream on my back. It's kinda itches and burns you know." Taehyung shyly mumbled, not expecting Eun-ae to actually notice the cream and be that concerned.
"Oh my love. Come here, I'll apply it for you." Eun-ae extended her hand with a small smile.
Taehyung could swear no one has ever made him feel this warm at her other than her grandmother.
He didn't have a mother figure to look upto except for his grandma, his world revolves around her, he doesn't trust any  other woman other than her nana, but Eun-ae always makes him feel warm at her, kind of fills the void of a mother in his heart.
He handed over the medicine tube to Eun-ae and turned his back.
Jungkook and Eun-ae hissed audibly when Taehyung's bright red back came to their view.
"How did you get this? This looks so bad, Taehyung. Do you want to visit a doctor?" Jaehyun asked, looking concern for the younger.
"He never listens, Jae. I told him so many times to visit a doctor - the rashes are quite frequent actually - he just never listens." Mrs. Kim sighed.
"You should go see a general doctor atleast, this doesn't look too good....must be really painful for you." Jungkook mumbled out, intently staring at Taehyung's back. He doesn't like how everytime Taehyung is going through something or the other, he wish he could just take away Taehyung's pain, atleast for a while.
Eun-ae gently applied the cream over Taehyung's rashes, being extra careful to not hurt Taehyung in any way.
"Taehyung? Would you go visit a doctor with me after tomorrow? This doesn't look good, Tae. You must be in so much pain and I'm sure it causes you irritation as well, just see a doctor for once yeah?" Eun-ae asked delicately, hoping the other would agree to her.
"Uhh....okay." Taehyung mumbled out.
"Oh my Eun! You literally convince him to go see a doctor, I swear he never listens to me." Mrs. Kim dramatically gasped.
Others just laughed at Mrs. Kim's words.

"Uh Eomma...tomorrow is our anniversary and we basically planned to go out for a anniversary dinner like every year but this time we want to spend time with you and Taehyung. Will it be okay if you join us for the anniversary dinner?" Jaehyun asked Mrs.  Kim, who smiled at him.
Jaehyun and Eun-ae were always like this - wanting to spend every special occasions with people they adore and love the most.
Mrs. Kim can never say no to Jaehyun's request.
"We would be happy to be a part of your special day." Mrs. Kim replied with a small smile.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Jungkook asked Taehyung, sitting on the kitchen counter, his legs dangling, his mouth full of the carrot dessert - which Taehyung gave him again.
"Ask them, if you're so interested in adult talk." Taehyung chuckled as he washed the tea cups.
"They won't tell me if it's adult stuff." Jungkook pouted, but carried on with his favorite dessert soon after.
After a while Mrs. Kim and Eun-ae entered into the kitchen and looked at the younger ones conversing amongst themselves.
"Taehyung....Jaehyun and Eun-ae wants to have anniversary dinner with us....here." Mrs. Kim said with a small smile.
"Oh....really?" Taehyung sounded surprised, not expecting the couple to want to celebrate their special day with them.
"Oh fuck yes!" On the other side Jungkook shouted out.
"Yah! Don't curse." Eun-ae scolded his son again, who giggled sheepishly.
"We will order food-" Jaehyun was about to speak as he entered into the kitchen as well, wearing his suite.
"No no uncle. It's your special day, I will cook for you two, it's just five pm so we have plenty of time to prepare everything." Taehyung hastily said to Jaehyun.
"Are you sure, Taehyung? Won't it be too much for you to cook for all of us?" Eun-ae asked, her eyes showing worry.
Taehyung looked at her with a soft smile and shook his head.
"No, I would love to prepare the meal for your special day." Taehyung said.
"You're too sweet Taehyung-ah." Jaehyun said with a warm smile.
"Jungkook? Let's go home now. We'll come back after freshening up a bit." Jaehyun called out for Jungkook who pouted at that, looking at Taehyung with a helpless look.
"Uncle, let him stay here. He can help me and also he's comfortable enough to freshen up here." Taehyung said with a small smile, Jungkook nodding his head right after.
"Of course you would nod at that. Don't be a brat and help Taehyung." Eun-ae said as she chuckled at her son's behavior.
"Eun, we have a guest room here. It isn't a big one but still you two can sleep comfortably in there and Jungkook can sleep in Taehyung's room. Stay the night after dinner, please. My heart won't let me let you three leave when it's that late." Mrs. Kim said, hoping the couple would agree to stay over for the night.
"Of course Eomma. We will be happy to stay over. And if being honest, this apartment is much more cozier and homely than our huge house." Jaehyun immediately said, making Eun-ae smile.
"Yes, he's right. Also, eomma we will leave now. Will come back right after we freshen up and rest a bit." Eun-ae said as she hugged Mrs. Kim.
After pulling away from the hug she went near Taehyung, who was looking at her with a polite smile.
"I'll be right back, yeah? Don't hurt yourself."  Eun-ae caressed Taehyung's cheek and pulled away soon after.
"And you, don't cause trouble." Eun-ae warned her son.
"Mom! I do not cause trouble! It's like you love Taehyung more than me....trust your son a bit, okay?" Jungkook whined out, making everyone laugh at that.
"If Eomma can love you more than me than why can't your mom love Tae more than you?" Jaehyun smirked at his son.
"Tae, do you smell jealousy? Cuz I definitely do." Jungkook said as he scrunched his nose.
"You brat!"
