PREVIOUSLY ON:                               QUIRKS

So we get a glimpse of Jin and Jungkook's friendship. See them both go out to the small village on the bottom of the valley by Bangtan High. Jin decides to go shopping in girl form whilst Jungkook gives his honest opinion and also just be their for general moral support and wholesome friendship-ness. 

To be fair, it was a filler episode.

Taehyung ever spent much time on his own and since he almost shared every subject with Jimin, it was very hard to see him without his main friendship circle. If there was one thing that Taehyung had, seperate from BTS and separate from Hoseok and Jimin, it was a gardening club. He loved plants to a degree, he loved certain plants. Sunflowers were one. Taehyung was the first member to join the gardening club and had been so since his First Year. He didn't ever think he was going to leave.

When he was supposed to be meeting to group to have lunch in Mr Barrett's lab group, he decided to stay by the school's garden. He was sitting on the little waterproof stool and was currently filling up a watering can so he could help hydrate the sunflowers that he had recently been growing ever since Easter finished. Taehyung absolutely loved sunflowers, with almost every fibre in his being.

Something about the bright and vivid shade of yellow, seeds growing in the centre of the brown and grey plant with a tall and thick stem that could match a bamboo, he adored the plant. Taehyung wasn't so much into art but when he got to paint Van Gogh's famous 'sunflower' painting, the boy was eccastic. Anyone could tell what a sunflower was from miles away and he just loved them... it was a problem. Sue him.

Taehyung stood up from his spot on the stool and walked over to the sunflowers, gently pouring the water over the dark soil and let his mind wander. He hummed a soft melody to himself, something he think he must have heard Yoongi make because he couldn't really recognise it from any of the songs he really listened to. Taehyung had heard some of Yoongi's music, they were cool- but not really his style.

The psychokinetic fished out his phone from the deepest and darkest depths of his trousers and entered his pin. He let his thumb glide over the smooth screen, selecting his plant playlist. Yes, he did have a plant playlist. And yes, 'Sunflower' by Post Malone was included. Taehyung placed his phone on the benchside table and sat on the grass, looking up at the sunflowers he had been taking care of for the last couple months. They had grown tall and stood to about his belly button, he knew they would grow taller.

He wanted them to grow taller than him. He also wanted to make sure that they were properly taken care of. They were his sense of relief and calm. Taehyung was too happy, always too smiley and sometimes a little too in-your-face. He knew this too, but he liked to be a little annoying sometimes. Which is why he liked gardening, it was tiring at times but it was therapy. A tiny peace of something in his life that knew would always be with him. No matter how bad his grades got, whatever argument he was in, which friend had walked all over him again- plants would still exist. There was no way they would get wiped out, not in a million years.

They evolve and Taehyung liked to believe he could evolve with them too. The boy lay on the grass and let the warmth of the sun soak up inside of him. Lighting a fire in his heart, letting him exhale for the first time in ages. Taehyung closed his eyes and let the sun tan him. He didn't get to relax for too long because his attention span would not do so. Instead, the boy opened his eyes when he felt a little tickle beside his neck. At first he thought it was a spider, but it was a daisy.

Daisies are another of Taehyung's favourites because they grew everywhere they wanted too. He could simply be in the worst situation and they wouldn't be too far from him. He was surrounded by daisies and an idea popped into his head. Something he hadn't got to do in a very long time, was make daisy chains. Taehyung remembered that he learnt how to make daisy chains from his grandmother. He taught his younger siblings how to make them too and they spent the entire afternoon making daisy chains and drinking warm lemonade that his mum prepared.
