Kim Taehyung glanced at the clock behind him through the mirror in front of him.

He must be late.

He was getting ready to attend his younger sister's high school graduation ceremony at her school with their mother.

Haeun had already left earlier that morning with her best friend, Sora, who had come to pick her up.



The three-hour programme ended in a flash. It reminded Taehyung of the time when he himself had graduated from high school with Jimin.

After a short while, the students have gathered in the grounds with their families to take pictures to commemmorate the special day.

"Sora, can you take our photo?" Taehyung and Haeun's mother asked Sora, handing her a camera.

The latter quickly agreed and proceeded to execute the job.


"Hey, I'm going to the washroom for a bit," Mrs. Kim told the siblings, shooting a wink in her son's way.

She wanted the two to make up as quickly as possible and renew their relationship on a good tone.


Taehyung passed the black bag he was gripping onto to Haeun who accepted it thankfully. "It's your graduation gift."

She peeked inside and saw a large stuffed strawberry, causing her to beam.

"I'm sorry for taking it out on you last time. I never meant the words I said," her brother began with a deep sigh. "You know, I want us to start again. I want to be a better brother to you. I want you to keep calling me your big brother."

Haeun nudged his shoulder gently with her elbow. "I'm sorry, too, oppa. You were having the hardest time among all of us and I just whined like a kid."

Mrs. Kim came in between them from nowhere with a huge grin on her face. She held their arms tightly as they made their way out of the school.

"Shall we have samgyeopsal?" she inquired her two children. "I'm starving," her daughter complained with a frown. "Let's go!" Taehyung exclaimed before letting out a laugh.

Min Yoongi was reading in the public library near his home.

He had to design a cover for Choi Eunhee's new book which was a collection of poems she had written herself. He decided to check out some covers and take notes for future reference and inspiration.

He worked as a designer under Gyeoroo Publishing with Jimin who was an editor. His job was simple--making book covers and choosing the right layout for the content.

Suddenly, his phone started to ring, causing him to earn menacing glares from the other visitors who were reading quietly.

He quickly declined the call and mouthed a 'sorry' to those around him.


Once he was outside the library, he let out a curse as he took his phone out of the pocket of his jeans. As expected, the caller was Taehyung.

He dialed his number and was immediately answered by his friend. "Hey, do you know I was in a library?" he told him with an exasperated sigh.

"I have an idea for my next book! I'm currently outlining the plot. Damn, Yoongi, creativity is finally flowing trough my veins after a whole year," Taehyung exclaimed, almost shouting, in a totally excited tone, completely ignoring Yoongi's complaint.
