PHASE

9

The leaves crackled, getting crushed underneath their feet as they ran freely... They looked at each other and giggled...

"Kookie will find us soon! Lets go hide!!" Jimin looked at him while pulling his hand...

"Why do I have to hide too?" Tae dragged his feet, slurred words came from his purposely pouty lips as he tried to act cute, which of course he succeeded in...

"Because..." He turn and burst into giggles upon seeing his friend's cute pouted lips.

"W-What?" The brunette's eyes widened seeing his friend laughing so hard.

"Are you trying to get all aegyo on me?" The smaller boy smiled

"Is it working?!" His friend answered anxiously...

"Well... Maybe a little..." He giggled once again...

"Ya know? I was actually thinking... I was thinking of dying my hair..." Jimin smiled as he made his way towards the root of a nice looking tree to sit down...

"Really... Why?" To Taehyung, it seemed random so he just had to ask...

"I don't know... Actually... Remember when we met and I told you I had a friend by that name when I was younger?" Jimin turned around squinting his eyes towards the bright sky... For some reason, the sun was particularly bright today...

"Yeah?..." Taehyung replied, lost as he gazed at the angel before him... Bathing in the faint beams of sunlight, he watched as Jimin then closed his eyes...

Jimin suddenly snapped his head in Tae's direction...
He caught him with his camera in hand...

"Tae?... What did you do??" Jimin gave him a suspicious glare...

"Would you believe me if I said... Nothing?" Tae returned his glare with an innocent smile...

"Nope!... Hand the camera over..." Jimin pouted, still holding his glare at Tae...

*Click*

"No! Tae?!"

*Click*

"Damn it! If I hear that shutter go off one more time I'll-!!"

*Click*

"Taehyung!" Jimin got up and furiously began chasing after his friend... Tae ran and ran, then when he saw Jimin was tired he stood firmly and raised his hand above his head...

"Ugh! Noooo!! I hate this game!!!" Jimin sighed frustrated at his attempts to reach out and grab the camera which the taller stretched higher and higher at his every attempt...
Jimin turned away with a huff...

"Okay! Okay!!..." Taehyung sighed in defeat as he threw both arms in the air...
"I won't anymore... No more pictures... ... For today... I promise..." He looked as Jimin and smiled... It was a special smile... Taehyung hadn't smiled that way in a long time...

Jimin's eyes went wide as recognition zapped through him...

"Y-You..." Jimin stuttered...
Taehyung looked at him for a moment once he had let out that stutter... And realized the look he was giving him... He could once again see the familiarity in his eyes...

"What's wrong?" He quickly covered and said...
"I'm gonna keep these pictures though!" He added as he tapped on the camera with his index and middle finger...

"Y-Yeah" Jimin shook his head, to disband the thoughts that had now pooled up in him...

Silence followed...

Kookie popped up out of no where...
"Found ya both!"

"Yah! Yah!! Tae found me first but I made him run with me so he wouldn't find you somehow and tell you where he found me..." Jimin giggled...

"Hmm... Clever as always!" Jungkook laughed keeping his mind's eye on Taehyung who was gazing at his hyung with so much emotion in his eyes...
It was weird of him because they had only just met a week ago, on a Monday to be precise... And Jimin had introduced Taehyung to him that day when they were about going home... So... They became friends, he guessed...
...

"Guys it's getting kinda late now, why don't we go home?" Jungkook suggested as he stared at the sky...

"Yeah! Let's!!" Taehyung and Jimin had both said then burst out laughing, Jimin had both palms covering his mouth and Taehyung? The back of his right arm over his mouth...
Jungkook looked at his feet upon seeing this... He just knew within himself that there was an undeniable connection between the two... And for some reason...
That made him...
.

Mad?...
.

Sad?...
.

No...
.

...

.

Jealous...
