"are you jealous?"

taehyung turned his head towards the voice and frowned. "what?" his usual pitch suddenly went up a tad bit. "no, i'm not."

jimin narrowed his eyes at him for a few seconds before shrugging. "whatever floats your boat, chief." he gestures for taehyung, signalling him to follow him. "come on, let's go to the backyard."

taehyung trailed after jimin to the back of the house and saw that it was where the people his age were gathered. some were formed in a clique, talking amongst themselves and some were playing with the water hose, getting themselves wet under the sunny sky. that must be why eunwoo was drenched, taehyung thought, thinking back.

scanning the groups of people, taehyung found some familiar faces from university days. jimin and him walk over to a few of them standing together. they exchange greetings and "how long had it been's". taehyung also introduced himself to the others who he didn't know and made conversations.

"yah! don't you dare aim that hose on me, you crazy psycho."

taehyung looked up and saw eunwoo, in fresh, dry clothes, warning his friends who had the water hose in their hands. taehyung glanced behind him, looked for joy but found her nowhere. she must still be inside. he thought as he looked down at the ground.

the sun was so bright and warm on his skin that taehyung had a brain pause when suddenly, water was pouring on him. "what the...?" he muttered and thought, why is there rain? at the same time. it took taehyung a few moments to realize it wasn't actually raining. it was simply because he had fallen victim to the mercy of the water hose.

taehyung looked around and found everyone staring at him in shock. from his observation of his surroundings, he also saw that he was the only one dripping wet, besides the people who were already playing with the water in the beginning. why is it just me?

"oh crap, i'm so sorry." the culprit who directed the water at him came over, bowing. "it's because eunwoo suddenly pushed me and my hands just-"

"it's fine," taehyung smiled, meaning it. in fact, he felt refreshed.

"i'm sorry, hyung. it was my fault." eunwoo apologized, his eyes wide. then, he switched his gaze to his friend. "i warned you not to point the hose at me. look what you made me do."

"it's okay," taehyung told them. "i swear it's fine. i can just borrow dry clothes from jimin."

"sorry again."

taehyung gave a reassuring smile before turning to jimin who had an amused smile on his face. "so you need my clothes?" he asked, which was a rhetorical question. "well you know where to find them."

nodding, taehyung goes back in the house, heading to jimin's room. when he reached the top of the stairs, he caught a sight of joy walking to his direction. when joy saw him, she stopped in her tracks and knitted her eyebrows.

"what happened?" joy queried.

"same thing that happened to eunwoo." he replied, shrugging. "i'll just borrow clothes from jimin."

"do you need a towel?" her hazel eyes showed pure concern. taehyung smiled, "yes please."

"i'll go grab one." joy disappeared down the hallway and taehyung headed to jimin's room. unable to endure the ticklish sensation the sticky wetness his shirt felt on his skin, he hastily pulled it over his head and tossed it to the floor. then, he searched jimin's closet for a another shirt. just as he picked one up, taehyung saw joy appear at the corner of his eye. instinctively, he used the shirt in his hands to cover his body while joy gave a small yelp and looked away.

"i'm so sorry." joy whimpered, still turned away and taehyung takes this opportunity to put the shirt on himself.

"you can look now." taehyung said and joy peeked at him, hesitantly. scampering over to him, joy handed him the towel and stepped back right away. "i'll go ahead then." she said.

taehyung couldn't help but smile as he watched her leave the room with such a flustered face. laughing to himself, he put the towel on his head and rubbed his hair to dry. the towel had the same smell as joy.
