Amargo y Dulce || Bitter and Sweet

Taehyung's eyes were all staring back at mine, and I'm liking it.

Strange.

I haven't noticed that I have been pushed down to the tiled floor hardly, and also, with an another "what the fuck, Jungkook!"

"I will never let you kiss me! Ever!" He shot back at me. "Okay, just don't go, so I won't kiss you." Damn, I'm enjoying this moment of annoying this midget.

"Are you crazy?! There's a higher chance that you can kiss me if I'll stay, you dumbass!" He said, a matter of fact. "Whatever, just stay. Umm... Help me clean this place since I didn't clean yesterday."

"I already did! But wait! The backyard's a little mess. Clean it yourself while I'll go and party out there. So if you don't mind, I'm going." He was about to go again but I hurriedly ran to the door before he could get there.

"Jungkook, you douchebag, let me pass," he muttered in an I'm-not-in-the-mood-to-joke-around look. "I won't let you. Help me in the backyard," I said with a C'mon-just-stay-here look.

"Okay, fine! But for you to know! I've done enough cleaning nowadays, while you Mr. I-Don't-Care-About-You just attend basketball practice, go all night clubbing, and all other shits!"

"Yeah, call me whatever you want. It still won't change the fact that I don't want to let you go."

Third Person's P.O.V.

And for a little while, Taehyung misinterpreted what Jungkook said at the last part, but then he shook his head since he knows exactly that the older didn't think that way.

"Okay, I'll stay. But you'll do most of the cleaning." He sighed in defeat.

"Deal."

So Taehyung was the one ordering Jungkook around, and he's enjoying it. He made him prepare the garden tools that were under the dark and dusty basement. He also concluded that he should let Jungkook clean the basement since he forgot to clean that part yesterday.

"Oh, damn it! My back hurts! Hey, Tae! Here are the tools, what do I do now?" He stammered, holding his back and gave it a little stretch.

"First, you gotta clear the area before starting. Using that wheel-borrow, put the flowers inside, but make sure not to damage them, got it? Do it nice and steady," Taehyung instructed while Jungkook listened with a poker face as he adjusted his oversized hat.

"Oh, by the way, I would like to grow some watermelons here in the backyard, so kindly please build something like a cage, yeah I don't know what that thing calls," Taehyung chuckled to himself.

"Oh! I also want to have a tree. 'Cause you know, during hot sunny days, I want to go here in the backyard, yet it still hot. So it's better to grow a tree here," he added, clapping his hands like a seal as he imagined himself resting under the shade of the tree while drinking his orange juice.

"I want to have a dog, too! Oooh! I really want to have a dog ever since I was a kid!" Taehyung cheered, jumping like a kid. "And I would name her-"

"Great idea, Taehyung. Maybe you should have a jungle in the backyard," Jungkook commented, cutting off his fantasies. The younger pouted and gazed at him.

"You always ruin everything! And you indeed ruin the flowers! The fuck, Jungkook! What did you do to them?! You're a flower murderer!" Taehyung snorted as he continually hit the latter with the rolled newspaper he was holding.

"Hey, stop it! I can't concentrate since you always blabber "I want to grow some of these, I want to have some of that!" Like seriously?! Can't you just shut the fuck up?" Jungkook hissed, imitating Taehyung with a mimicking voice.

"How can I shut up?! Ugh! Get out of my way, I'll clear the area myself! While you get the seeds of watermelon back at the basement... Oh! And don't forget the watering can and the shovel... and the rake!" He yelled, yet Jungkook didn't mind him at all. He'll just get the seeds and other necessary items that he thinks will be needed by the annoying midget.

"I don't know what he's talking about at all," the elder mumbled to himself and got the items. He then exited the basement, carrying a basket that has all the equipments.

"Seriously? Don't you know how to work in a garden? Mrs. Jeon runs a flower shop, how can you not know anything about gardening?" Taehyung asked out of the blue, but still focusing in sowing the soil.

"Yeah, she runs a flower shop. But it doesn't mean that I know about that stuff, too. I don't think it's necessary," the elder replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"Whatever," the latter ended. "Give me the flowers," he ordered.

"Oh, it's nice to see that they still have their roots with them after being handled by you," Taehyung said and laughed as he raised the daisies in front of Jungkook.

"Fuck you, Kim Taehyung."

"Yah! Don't you sit there and watch me. C'mon! I'll teach you how to plant," the younger ushered and he just followed right after.

"So, how do I do this shit?" He asked, getting a slightly damaged flower from the wheel-borrow.

"All you have to do is to plant them on the ground, make sure that the air can go inside the soil," he instructed and he did as what have told.

"But why would it need air? I thought it only needs water."

"Aish! Why do I feel like I'm teaching a kid?" Taehyung whispered to himself. "Okay, this is how it works. A plant doesn't only need water, but also air and so does sunlight. Yeah, something that have to do with photosynthesis. Just like you, you're alive not just because of one thing. And if you disagree from what I just said, then maybe you're probably be dead right now," Taehyung explained as he guided Jungkook's hands in patting the soil gently, while he caught himself staring at the younger as he said those words.
