Red String | VMIN

It's 3:54 in the afternoon.
Yoongi and Tae are on their way to play some basketball ball. Tae and Yoongi meet up with their friends and all greet each other.  The others have already changed, so they were waiting on Yoongi and Tae. Tae already has his shorts on, so he didn't see what the big deal was to change outside.

He took off his shirt, and revealed his abs. All the men where loud and whistling. "Woah, Tae, flex on us." "Damn did it hurt when you fell from the vending machine, cuz you're a whole snack!" Tae laughed and showed off his body. Tae has always been confident in himself. And his friends always supported him. Jackson walked over and patted Taes stomach. "That's hard. Where's my soft Tae?" Tae laughed. "He's not here right now. But he'll be back in a week." Jackson and he other guys started to touch his muscle. "Ok, ok, guys. Let him finish." Yoongi said as he came out from the dressing room.

"Ah come on Yoongi you get to see him like, every day!" Yoongi shook his head. "You guys can live without him, now let's play." They all jeered at Yoongi's comment, but then went into teams.

It was Jackson, Yoongi, and Tae, against Mike, Tom, and Shiloh. "Aw come on! Why does Jackson get to be on their team! We all know Yoongi and Tae can flex." Said Mike as he finishes drinking water.
"Ok how about me and Yoongi go on opposite sides?"

The whole group froze. Yoongi and Tae have never gone against each other in a group. Sure they did 1 vs 1 but never in a game. Yoongi smiled. "This sounds interesting. Alright, but loser has to buy the wining team dinner."
Yoongi said as he stared at the rest of them.

"It's on." Said Tae and he got up. They went into the court. Now it was Yoongi, Mike, and Jackson, against Tae, Shiloh, and Tom. The tension between them grew. It was suffocating. You could see it in the air. It was thick enough to cut through. The game started and it was a battlefield. Both teams were scoring left and right.

Finally an hour went by. Jackson and Tom grew exhausted so they sat out. Shiloh and Mike followed them. Now it was just Yoongi and Tae.

"Well this took a turn." Yoongi said pushing his hair back as sweat slowly ran down his face. "It really did." Tae was really sweaty so he took of his shirt. The sun was shining on his honey kissed body. He pushed back his red hair and looked at Yoongi. There was a passion in his eyes. Adrenaline, this fire has ignited. Yoongi's coal eyes stared back. Yoongi smirked. He ran towards the basket. Tae was good at defense, but Yoongi had already went for the shot.

They all stared as the ball circled the top of the ring. The world felt like it came to a pause. They stared at it.

'Plunk'

the ball went in. "Hell yea!!" Mike and Jackson were jumping up and down. They ran to Yoongi and threw him above their head. "Yoongi you did it!" Said Mike. "I knew you could Yoongi! You're a beast!" Chimed in Jackson. "All right, all right, put me down." Jackson and Mike put down Yoongi and he walked to Tae who was sitting down on the bench.

"You did well Tae. I actually had to try." Yoongi stuck out his hand, tilted his head, and smiled like a sly fox. "Ah, well. You win some you loss some." Tae said while panting a bit heavily. Tae stuck out his hand. "Yea well today is not your-." Yoongi was cut off because Tae had pulled his hand, making them close as ever. "I'll get you next time, so be ready." Tae whispered into Yoongi's ear, causing him to turn a slight pink, but no one could tell since they were all sweaty and hot.

"Ok guys, let's hit the shower." Shiloh said as he walked towards the shower. Everyone went in and took a quick shower. They all dried them selves and walked out.

"Man today was fun. I miss high school us." Said Mike as he put his arm around Jackson's neck. "I miss the old me in general." Said Jackson looking down. "I don't know which part of me I miss." Said Yoongi. "I think I miss my youth the most." Added Tom while running his hands through his damp hair. "I miss a lot of things." Tae said as he looked up." After a few minutes of silence, they all turned who Shiloh.

Shiloh seemed to ponder on the question. "I think missing who you were, just means you don't know who you are. But that's ok. No one came in this world knowing what they were gonna do. We are all here for a reason. If it happens, it's up to us. Missing your youth could mean you miss the idea of no responsibilities, carefree, fun filled life. Or you just like being pampered." Shiloh said while eyeing Tom, who stuck his tongue out at Shiloh.

Shiloh then continued with, "If you miss the old you or just parts of something, it just means your human. It's ok to feel things. But don't let it consume you. You are all your emotions. Sadness, happiness, anger, joy, jealousy, you're all of that, and much more. But don't let one thing consume you. Because at the end of the day, the only person you truly have, is yourself."

The group stared at Shiloh. Shiloh has never talked much. He usually kept to himself, but when he spoke, he spoke words of wisdom. They members looked at him, then looked at each other. "Ah, come here you guys." Jackson said as he went in for a group hug.

They all slightly laughed, but hugged each other anyways. "Gosh, I really am friends with losers. I wonder what my parents would think." Yoongi said as he rolled his eyes and smiled. "Man Yoongi, you love us." Tom added. "What ever." They all hugged, said their goodbyes, and walked home.

It was only 7:09. The sun was setting, but very slowly. "Let me walk you home." Tae said as he began to walk to Yoongi's. "Ok." Yoongi and Tae both walked looking up, and around their little town.

"You know, our little town is pretty cute." Said Tae and he looked and saw a bunch of kids running around in the park.
"Yea."
A few minutes of silence went by. "Oh, you never told me about your day the other time." Yoongi said.
"Hm?" Added Tae, a bit confused.

"When we walked home together. Where were you coming from?"
"Oh! I was coming from my cooking class." Tae looked excited. He turned to Yoongi with the biggest smile on his face. He looked at Yoongi with the 'ask me how it went' face on.
"How was it?" Yoongi said, knowing Tae was going to tell him ether way.
"It was pretty great. Mr. Lee was extremely helpful, and really kind. He was good looking, like Jin. I also met Jim-." Tae stopped walking.

Yoongi turned around and looked at Tae. "Is everything ok?"
"Jimin?"
Tae said looking at the blonde boy. Yoongi turned to see this small, cute, blonde boy. 'It's him.' Yoongi thought. "Taehyung!" Said the Jimin, and he walked over.
