The black clouds began to gather in the sky, swirling together with an almost artistic grace, blocking out the sun and casting a deep shadow over the landscape. The temperature dropped, and the wind began to blow with an invigorating chill. The air carried with it the unmistakable scent of rain, that fresh, earthy fragrance that filled the lungs and made people stop in their tracks, drawing in deep breaths of the crisp air. It was the calm before the storm, and for a moment, everything felt suspended in time

Jungkook was no exception. Sitting on the edge of a small wooden bridge that extended over a tranquil pond, his feet dangled just above the surface of the water. His head tilted back, eyes closed, he inhaled deeply, savoring the scent of the coming rain. The cool breeze played with his hair, and the peaceful atmosphere made him feel at ease despite the darkening sky

"I think the rain is going to come soon" he said softly, his voice blending with the rustling of the leaves and the distant roll of thunder. He glanced to the side, his lips curving into a gentle smile as he met the gaze of the person sitting next to him

Taehyung, sitting close beside Jungkook, nodded in agreement, his own smile mirroring the younger boy's "It's so peaceful and chilly. I wish this rainy season would never end" he replied, his voice filled with a dreamy longing as he looked out over the pond, admiring the lotus flowers that floated gracefully on the surface

Jungkook chuckled softly, his eyes bright with excitement "Hyung, then let's enjoy this rain together"

Taehyung's expression turned to one of concern as he looked at Jungkook "But Jungkook, what if you get col-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the sky opened up, and rain began to pour down, the drops heavy and cold as they drenched both of them within moments. Jungkook's laughter rang out, clear and joyful as he stood in the open, his clothes sticking to his skin, water running down his face. Taehyung pouted in mock annoyance but couldn't help the smile that tugged at his lips "Too late for any concern, aren't we?" Jungkook teased, his eyes sparkling with mischief

Taehyung sighed in defeat, nodding his head in agreement, though he had a feeling Jungkook had something else in mind. The younger boy's eyes kept drifting towards the pond, and before he could voice any further protests, Jungkook grabbed his wrist, pulling him up to his feet

"What are you-" Taehyung began, but his words were cut off by a startled gasp as the teen suddenly yanked them both into the pond. The cold water embraced them instantly, pulling them under with a loud splash. Taehyung's breath caught in his throat as he sank beneath the surface, his body instinctively struggling to find balance in the dark, murky water. The world above became a blur of rain and ripples, and panic started to grip him as he flailed, trying to make sense of his surroundings

But then, a familiar hand reached out and gripped his wrist, steadying him. It was Jungkook, his eyes calm and focused as he guided them deeper into the pond, away from the bridge. Taehyung's panic subsided slightly as he followed his lover's lead, though his heart still pounded in his chest
