"Hyung, what do you think about these? They are very cute, no?" Namjoon asked Seokjin, as they were in the gift shop once again.

At least for Namjoon, he's been here before. He thought of getting something from here since then.

"Ah, you know I'm not good with these things. 'Should've asked Hob-ah to come with you" His hyung tiptoed behind him as they kept walking towards the shelf.

"He told me he'd be very busy today. Besides I need advice from you on something"

That caught the attention of Seokjin as he raced ahead of the younger, his eyes wide.

"Me? Give you an advice? On what? What could I possibly advise you?"

"Hyung, I haven't gone to Taehyung's house since the last five days. I couldn't even send him a message or something cause I didn't have internet. Things are all over the place now. What do I do?" He spluttered out, head heavy with thick thoughts.

Thoughts he couldn't gather himself.

"Oh- that. You could just tell him the truth. It's more easier that way, isn't it? Or do you fear that he wouldn't understand?"

"No it's not- Taehyung would definitely -" Namjoon was about to answer when the older continued,

"See? You don't hesitate to defend him these days. You believe in him, Namjoon-ah. Where did that come from, hmm?" Seokjin teased him with his knowing smile, eyes crinkling.

Namjoon wanted to wipe that smug grin off his face and to ask him about how he knew that Namjoon trusted him. But then stopped because both Hoseok and Seokjin knew him, the real him. And they could see right through him. He didn't have to ask.

"I hate it when you're actually smart with your words. Like it's very rare" He complained instead

"What do you mean 'actually'? I am smart?! Smarter and wiser than you anyways" he rolled his eyes, picking on the candle jars now.

"Besides, why are we here again? In this gift shop? Are you gonna buy anything?" He asked and the younger nodded in response.

"I'll be going to Taehyung's today. 'thought I should get him something"

The answer from him was a snort, then a cough which resulted into a fit of coughs. He was about to ask Seokjin what was wrong when the latter beat him to it.

"You're going to his' ?! Today?! But you just came yesterday-you sure you'll be okay?" Namjoon stared at him, thinking over the question.

"I think I will, hyung"

"Ah, Tae-tae you've writing on that notebook of yours since forever. What kind of fiction are you writing?" Jimin teased the younger while taking a sip of his mocha latte- a good one this time.

Taehyung looked back at him for a few seconds then went back to writing, unbothered to be bothered.

He knew there was something going on inside the fairy devil's head because he was way too enthusiastic today.

Yes, Taehyung called his friend a fairy devil because he had the looks and personality of a literal fairy but his deeds and the way his mind worked were nothing less than a devil's.

Ever since Jimin discovered about how Taehyung could rarely speak now, he has been keeping silence about that matter. Taehyung didn't know if it was a good or bad thing.

He hates it when people act out of themselves just to respect his boundaries. It seemed like an act of pity to him.

Why act nice if Taehyung doesn't deserve it, huh?
