"Thank you hyung!" he thanked me while nodding lightly.

POV: Author

Jimin had never owned a smartphone, and it was a completely different world for him. He was amazed by all the functions. 

Initially, he explored the camera and was in awe of how easy it was to capture beautiful photos. Subsequently, he began searching for answers to every question that had ever lingered in his mind. Every time he finally found an answer to a, admittedly mostly trivial and unimportant, question, he felt happy and proud to have learned a bit more.

He didn't even notice how time passed; he was now informing himself about a nearby college. Jimin always dreamed of going to college and achieving a good education to show his father that he wasn't worthless after all. He hoped that maybe his father would finally love him and once again accept him as his son.

His eyes became gleamy as he fought back his tears. He quickly turned his attention back towards his phone. The screen showed a website of the nearby SCA (Seoul College of Arts). His eyes lingered at the dance courses, he always loved dancing... He had that in common with his mother, although he never pursued his passion unlike her. Jimin was about to change the website, to search for another college, with a major that could maybe make his father proud, when his smartphone was snatched out of his hands. 

"What are you doing on your phone all day?" Jimin looked up in shook, he needed a few seconds till he realized that he had still the website of the SCA on his phone. He never told anyone about his passion of dancing other than his father, who in return unleashed his anger upon the back then 8 year old "for having a girlish desire".

He didn't want anyone to know about his passion afraid, they would laugh at them to. Just then he noticed that his opposite was about to peek at the screen. He jumped up from his bed and tries to get the phone.

"Aish... Jungkookie, give it back!", Jimin's voice echoed through the mansion. "Not before you answer my question." the other replied, while holding the youngers phone over his head. The younger was jumping in front of an amused Jungkook, desperately trying to reach the device, to secure his secret.

Jungkook was totally unbothered by the attempts of the younger. He started moving out of the room, while still holding the phone way above his head out of reach for the other. Jimin didn't know what he could do other than follow his hyung and steal his phone back as soon as Jungkook let's his guard down.

But he didn't seem to get tired even though he held his arm up the whole time. "Are you a chick and I am your mother hen?" Jungkook snickers at his follower while going down the floor. Jimin squints his eyes in annoyance at the others comment, but he decides to stay silent. 

When they both entered the living room, Jungkook finally let his guard down, or at least that's what Jimin thought. He immediately seized the opportunity to retrieve his phone. Jungkook was not actually tired; he simply wanted to play a bit more with the younger one, who had grown unusually quiet.

"Hyung, Jungkook hyung won't return your present to me!" Jimin suddenly whined. Jungkook confused about whom he was talking to, turned around to face Taehyung, who had just entered the living room. Taehyung watched the scene in front of him with a questioning look. Just as Jungkook wanted to explain everything to the older, he felt how the smartphone was stolen from him. 

'He distracted me to steal his phone back... Well played'

Jimin did not get far before Jungkook easily caught up to him and snatched the younger's phone once again with ease. "Hyung, catch!" he exclaimed shortly before throwing the phone towards Taehyung. Jimin's eyes nearly fell out of his head when he saw Jungkook carelessly throw the most expensive object he had ever owned. At least Taehyung seemed as surprised as Jimin by Jungkook's careless action. And thankfully, he was able to catch the device.
