The 95z were eating in a nearby restaurant five blocks from their dorm. Jimin paid for both their meals and they were happily eating; him with pasta and chicken while the other had hot wings and lots of garlic bread.

Taehyung chewed on his eighth bread when he asked "Did you ever think of an alternate universe where we could all understand animal languages and humans and animals can just communicate fine?"

The other stops in the process of drinking soup to think about the question thrown at him. It's not unusual for Taehyung to ask such random and out of this world questions but sometimes he asks in such unexpected of moments and Jimin doesn't know how to answer that. Still, he tries to reply anyway since he's expecting an answer. "Couple of times during my childhood yes. But now? Not so much."

"Hmmm." He looks up as if thinking deeply, which was probably the case. As Jimin waits he takes this as an opportunity to finish his soup. Then- "What about if inanimate things could talk and act like human beings? You know, like 'Beauty and the Beast'?"

Jimin spit out a few droplets of his soup and the flecks landed straight on the younger's face, his eyes lazily shut. Jimin laughs nervously as he wipes the soup with a napkin. "I'm so sorry Taehyungie I didn't mean it."

Instead Taehyung just smiles, and Jimin wonders if his friend got hit in the head or something. "That's okay Jiminie I know you don't mean it." His face then turns serious. Or as serious as it can get after a funny episode like that. "But seriously what are your opinions about it? Don't tell me that I'm the only one who thought of that since how are the writers and producers of 'Beauty and the Beast' able to come up with such an idea? If I were asked I would answer yes many times, even when I turn twenty plus. And look here I'm already twenty-two but still-"

Jimin covers the other's mouth to stop the oncoming rant and offers a smile. "I get it Tae. But to answer your question, I guess I did when I was maybe five or younger."

They quietly resume lunch after that and leave the diner, walking to digest the food. Taehyung then asks "What about magic? I know I did. I remember I used to think that there were spells and witches with candies and they're waiting to corner me so I could be their next meal or something like that."

"Do you always think about the fairy tales?" Jimin asks out of curiosity, giving the other a glance.

"Not really I guess," he answers with a slight hum in his voice. "It's just cuz I don't know what else to say."

He was met with Jimin's loud and clear laugh. This continued on for a few seconds before Taehyung joined in, his deep voice mingling with Jimin's high one. Jimin then regains enough composure to say "Aww Tae you don't have to ask random questions all the time just so you can speak to me. You know you can tell me anything right? You don't have to be so nervous around me." He offers a reassuring smile, one that the other male returns.

"I'm sorry Min it's just that you're the only one who I can talk to without getting such negative reactions," Taehyung tells him as they stroll around. "Jungkook either won't listen or would give me weird looks. Hobi-hyung would just laugh it off and pat my head, saying I'm a kid when I'm actually asking for answers. Namjoon-hyung is more on the realistic side while I'm the dreamy idealist. Yoongi-hyung would just brush me off. And Jin-hyung's just gonna tell me to ask someone else so really, you're the nicest of them all. You only smile and answer my questions while asking some along the way so I think you're the most easiest to talk to."
