"Catch me if you can!" Her voice erupted into fits of giggles as the two men both chased her across the farmland.

"Slow down! You are going to get hurt!"

"Do not be such a killjoy, V!" Dalia turned back to him and flashed a bright smile. She even jogged backward for a few seconds to show her daring attitude.

"Caught you."

Her eyes widened with surprise as she spun around, looking up at Jimin who greeted her with a tight smile. "Jimin! You cheated!" She smacked his shoulder as V jogged over, high fiving his brother. "And why are you celebrating, V?! This is not fair. I am faster than you two, I know it. You just used your powers didn't you!"

"The rules never forbade such a thing!" Jimin stuck his tongue out, jogging back from her feisty punches.

"I demand we restart!" She pouted, stomping her feet.

"Why do you not just quit it for today?" V suddenly lifted her up by the waist and spun her around. Dalia quickly held on to him, yelping with surprise and soon burst into fits of giggles, begging to be set down. V continued to spin her around, laughing along with her as he blew his breath across her neck, making her more ticklish.

"Brother, should I go gather some water from the stream then? Dalia must want to cool down at least." Jimin offered.

"You'd do so?" V placed her down and lifted his brow with approval.

"I'll go help him then!" Dalia offered, removing her embrace around V's neck.

"Love, are you not tired yet?" V asked out of concern. She pouted and shook her head, scrunching up her nose in a cute manner.

"We cannot always have your brother helping us all the time as if he's some servant. We both know how generous he is, after all. In fact, right now, you are the one who should go inside and rest."

V quickly grabbed her from the waist and pulled her towards him again. "But I don't want to let go."

"You're so loving, dear." She smirked and tiptoed to his ear sending a spark of heat around his body. "I'll love you all night if you want." V gave her hips a small squeeze and kissed the nape of her neck.

"Of course, I'd love that." He whispered back into her ear. She giggled and bit down on her lip, pushing back from him.

"Later then, love! I'll be right back!" She waved, running down the hill after Jimin.

Once they were far off near the stream, she idly sat on a high rock and watched the brother's strong arms pump the well and lift the heavy bucket down to the ground.

"Excuse me, madam. Are you not here to help as I had assumed?" Jimin threw her a small smirk. She sighed and placed on a tired and weak face.

"My, I must have tired myself out playing with you two boys all evening!" She walked over. Jimin chuckled shaking his head. "Oh, what to do!"

"Oh please! You are victimizing yourself now?"

"Hmm?" She tiptoed and wrapped her arms around him. "Am I now?" Jimin stood still before he picked her up and seated her on the edge of the well.

"How naughty of you." His eyes flickered red. "What would your husband say if he found out you were hugging another man? Moreover, his own brother."
