"Jeonggukkie!" Jimin greets him from the gate as soon as he arrives from the baggage claim.
He stops pulling his suitcase and waves just as enthusiastically, "Hyung! Hi, where's eomma?" He then bends over a little to carry his luggage back to the car.
Jimin opens the back of the car, as he hums, "Back at home with my mother, as always. They've missed you, you know."
He goes over to the passenger seat.
"It's been what? 2 years?"
"Yeah," Jimin nods before turning to glance back at the exit gate.
"Are we waiting for someone else?" Jeongguk voices out, a little confused but more curious as to who Jimin might be waiting for
Jimin confirms, "Yeah, my mom's nephew."
"Your cousin?" Jeongguk scrunches his forehead, when the hell did Jimin get his so-called cousin.
The older waves this off, "I never knew of him until, like, a month ago before he went to Finland."
That explains the waiting. Jeongguk turns to open the door to open the front seat just as Jimin calls out,
"Yo, Tae!"
He's already seated in front when he cranes his head.
A man, approaching them looked incredibly familiar, Jeongguk lets his lips curl and his eyes narrow before widening slightly in recognition.
He's wearing a brown coat this time, a dark plaid scarf tucked inside and with him, was a small black suitcase.
"Jimin," Taehyung greets.
The man flickers his gaze to Jeongguk, whom he sees with the transparent window between the two.
For a moment, Jeongguk thinks he saw Taehyung still, a little pale before snapping out of his stare when Jimin touches his shoulder.
"I'll get your suitcase, Tae."
With a swift movement, he hands the surprisingly light luggage to be loaded at the back.
The two situates themselves inside the car, Jimin driving and Taehyung at the back, Jeongguk never expects him the latter to greet him.
"Nice seeing you again, Jeongguk."
Taehyung stares at from the back, and can be seen through the rearview mirror that Jeongguk nods.
"You too," words almost inaudible.
"You two know each other?" Jimin was a little surprised, but his eyes never leaves the road.
From the back, Jeongguk sees Taehyung lean back, and was that...a small smile? Taehyung stares out of his own window, shakes his head and says - almost like he was whispering to himself -
"Something like that."
And something like that indeed.
