Episode - 17

"Hyung?"

Currently, after dinner, Yoongi is washing the dishes and Taehyung's job is to keep them dry. But Yoongi is lost somewhere while cleaning and Taehyung has been calling him for a long time.

"Hyung?" Taehyung tries again to call, shaking his hyung by his arm this time.

Yoongi, who was lost in thoughts, suddenly comes to his senses, "Huh? Ahh... Sorry. Were you saying something?"

"You are not looking.... well, hyung. What's the matter?" Asks Taehyung being concerned.

"Nothing." Yoongi shakes his head.

"But I am.... sure you are worried about.... something."

"And how can you say that with such certainty?"

"Because.... for the last 10 minutes you have been applying..... soap to the same plate and have washed it..... 6 times." Taehyung points at the plate which Yoongi is holding right now.

After realising the same, Yoongi sighs, "Ahh..."

Taehyung continues, "And I have.... called you many times but you..... have not responded."

"Sorry Taetae." Yoongi sighs, "It's just... This boy has me in tension."

"Which boy?" Taehyung asks.

"Jungkook. Who else." Shaking his head, Yoongi answers.

"W-What did he..... do now?"

Handing the same plate to Taehyung, Yoongi says, "Just now in the evening, while coming home, he was about to say something to me but....."

"B..But?" Being worried, Taehyung asks.

Yoongi continues, "He stopped and said that he would tell me this directly in front of everyone at the village annual function."

The second younger gets more tensed, "Hyung, do you..... have any idea what Kookie wants to say?"

"No." Yoongi shakes his head, "Bunny has changed so much and has gained a lot of confidence which is a very good thing. But sometimes I don't understand what he says." then looks at Taehyung, "Does this mean I am dumb?"

Taehyung chuckles and says, "N-No hyung. Why are you saying this.... about yourself?" then smiles at his hyung, "You are the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met."

Hearing Taehyung's words, Yoongi starts laughing heartily, which shows his gummy smile. The second younger has seen this smile before (during the waterfall incident) but today..... when he sees it again, he feels something different, something...... lovely and adorable.

"You are exaggerating, Taetae." Yoongi smiles, "Everyone in this village is sweet and kind........"

"Your gummy smile is so cute, hyung. Please keep smiling like this."

On hearing this, Yoongi suddenly becomes silent and for some reason his face and both ears turn red like cherries.

Then Taehyung notices Yoongi's face and asks, "Hyung? Are you okay? How did your face suddenly turn red? Your health....."

As Taehyung is about to touch his hyung's face, Yoongi pulls back suddenly and says, "I am..... am okay. I need rest now." without looking at Taehyung, "You too go and rest now. Good night."

Saying this Yoongi runs fast and enters his room.

"I wonder why I didn't notice this pretty smile earlier." The second younger says to himself while seeing his hyung locking his room's door.

The next day, as promised, Yoongi brings Taehyung with him to the restaurant so he can talk to his brother Seokjin. On one side, Yoongi and Seo-jun are busy doing their work and on the other side, Taehyung is sitting politely and talking to his brother.
