"Okay." That was all Jungkook said, cutting himself off from the little trance he had.

"Good, plant all the flowers while I get rid of the scattered leaves," Taehyung said before he left.

Jungkook did as what Taehyung had instructed. He actually can't believe that he is planting, he's so proud of himself for achieving something he haven't done before.

An hour passed or so, both finished their work. Since they are too tired, Taehyung's plan of growing watermelons was canceled. They rested themselves on the Bermuda grass that were well-mowed by Jungkook under Tae's order.

"It feels like I haven't got a rest since I was born," the elder sighed as he spread his arms and legs, accidentally hitting Taehyung's face with the back of his hand.

"Oh, fuck! Sorry!" He jolted as he got up, seeing Tae rub the injured part. "Yeah, you hit me so good right there," he replied sarcastically and then rested back on the grass.

"By the way, we have this basketball league on Friday, will you come?" He suddenly asked after a period of silence. "Why would I come?"

"To pretend being my boyfriend, of course. And I want you to shoo out those annoying girls like what you did last time. Don't worry, our friends will come, too," he explained, putting both his hand under his head with his eyes closed.

"So you want me to come with you so I can scare them not to cheer you, knowing that I'm your boyfriend? Is that what you mean?" Taehyung clarifies and received a plain "yes" from the elder.

"No, I won't come. Shoo them yourself. And you must be thankful because there are people cheering for you," Taehyung said and rolled his eyes heavenwards.

"You're also my fiancé, remember? Please, Tae? I just want to tease you, you know. Seeing you getting annoyed from others because of me is so cute of you. It's like you're jealous." With that, he received a smack.

"What the hell? I'm not jealous. Not ever," he fought back. "Oooh, someone's in denial."

"Just admit that you're starting to like me. But I'm sorry, Tae. You have a one-sided love," Jungkook continued to tease him.

He likes to tease Taehyung and see him getting annoyed that might make him burst out into many yells.

"What the actual fuck, Jungkook!" And there it started. "Give me reasons to like you."

"I don't know. There's a lot of things that you could like me that I can't even point it out," he continues, while Taehyung had his face being scrunched. "Whatever, I still won't come."

"Oh, really? You like to embarrass me, right? Why don't you do that again by acting like a real boyfriend? And oh my, God! What would be mom's reaction if she heard that you didn't come to my game? Don't forget about your mom, too! What would be their reaction?" The elder scared him. When he saw Taehyung sigh in defeat, he knew he already won.

"Okay, you got me there. But I still won't guarantee that I'll come since it'll just be useless. It won't make any difference in your game if I would be there or not."

"I don't care, just come."

"I said I'll try. Don't get your hopes up."

Weekend came to an end so soon, which only means it's Monday again. This morning, Taehyung was the one who cooked breakfast since it would be a waste of time if he'll ask Kook to do so.

Taehyung was about to exit the door to head to school, but he was stopped by the elder.

"What now, Kook?" Taehyung asked irritatingly with creased brows. "Don't bother to catch the bus. You'll take the car with me," Jungkook answered and dragged him to the other door that heads to the garage.

"Come to think of it, it's been two months ago since the last time I rode that car of ours. Seriously, what had gotten into you?" Taehyung laughed ahead. "Can't you just be happy that you won't ride that freaking bus to school?"

"I rather ride that freaking bus than to sit beside you in that fucking car. Get the difference?" Taehyung sarcastically replied.

"Whatever, you're still going with me," he ended as he opened the door for the younger. He then soon hopped in and drove to school.

The ride was silent, much to Jungkook's liking. He was surprised of Tae's silence, so he decided to talk to him first.

"Hey, why so mum?" He started. "Because if do talk with you, it would be endless and we'll end up fighting. And it's still morning, I don't want to start my day with a fight," Taehyung, being straight-forward, answered frankly. "Oh,you think so? Well, in a matter of fact, I say you're right."

"I'm always right, you're the only one who isn't. And just for you know, I should be in control for the both of us. I really should am. I don't care whose older, it's how you think matters the most." With that, Jungkook was put in silence. They arrived after a few minutes or so, and Jungkook was still not talking after what Taehyung said during the ride.

Then, they were greeted by their friends, whom who were very surprised by the sight. The sight of Taehyung and Jungkook coming to school together.

"Are my eyes fooling me or what?" Jin asked no one in particular as he rubbed his eyes. "Did Kook eat something not good this morning?" Jimin whispered to Yoongi's ear.

"There's a miracle sent by heaven," Namjoon commented as he eyed the couple walking towards them. Each of their friends had their reaction, which they expect already.

"All of you, cut the play off. You guys are no fun," Jungkook broke in. "And so are you," Jimin trailed off.

"What had got in to you to take Tae with you?" Jin asked.

"Nothing, I just don't want my boyfriend to struggle in waiting for the bus. Right, Tae?" Jungkook smirked as he tilt his head to wait for Taehyung's response.

"Yeah. Fuck you!" The latter snorted and rolled his eyes heavenwards.
