PHASE

14

Jimin happily hopped along with Jungkook on their way to the mall.

"Damn the weather's nice!" Jimin suddenly paused, his hand now up in the air sieving through the sunbeams.

Jungkook paused a step before Jimin carefully watching him and adoring him with his gaze, but soon feels someone else's presence which caused him to stir, trying to find the source.
With a quick swivel on his heels he spins around to find a dazed Taehyung. Jungkook's hands tighten into fists upon following Taehyung's line of sight.

Taehyung however, oblivious to Jungkook's turmoil couldn't keep his eyes off Jimin.
At that moment the only thing he could think of was;

He's beautiful, more beautiful than he was 10 years ago.

Jungkook turned around to see that Jimin had already spotted Taehyung and was totally red in the face, he began looking between the two as he frantically pieced together the fact that Taehyung was now beaming from ear to ear as he approached them both.

"Hey!" Taehyung started as he smiled at Jimin then looked to Jungkook who somehow managed to stand in between the two.

"Yeah! Hey Taehyung, how are you?" Jungkook smiled while being quite clingy towards Jimin, wrapping an arm over his shoulder all of a sudden.

Jimin whom had on the other hand had been a victim of Taehyung's intense stare, was shyly looking down at the ground, for some reason, his shoes became quite an interest to him at the moment.

"Uhhh... I was just on my way to the mall, I was gonna go treat myself a bit, I've been cramped up at home for a while so..."

"Ah... Okay then, we'll get going and leave you to it, I gue-"

"Why don't you come along?!" Jimin interrupted, smiling widely.

"Oh... Umm..."
Taehyung hesitated, he couldn't help but think he was disturbing their outing.

"Don't worry Tae we were just about to head to the mall as well! Come on don't say no pleasseee!!"
Taehyung gave in immediately, finding it impossible to resist his friend's cute puppy eyes and pout.

"Okay, let's go you fluff ball."
Taehyung smiled.

Then they began their walk to the mall, they walked together, Jimin sandwiched between the two taller boys, all smiles and giggles.
The boys actually followed an unknown pattern, each paying no mind to it as; Taehyung, made easy steps to make sure Jimin didn't have trouble in catching up, Jimin heedlessly matching his steps with Taehyung and Jungkook purposefully matching his steps with Jimin's.
They continued, their legs moving in awkward sync as they reached the mall.

.
.
"Jimin hyuunnnggggg! Wait uuppp!!" The distinct sound of Jungkook's concerned yelling was definitely heard by the shops that were nearby.
Taehyung couldn't help but laugh.
"Hyung! Wait up!!"
Both boys laughing as they caught up with their hyung.

"I told you to wait hyung!" Taehyung laughed while Jimin watched him before reaching up, standing on his toes to ruffle Taehyung's hair.

"You're so cute Tae!" Jimin smiled while Jungkook just watched the two; Taehyung wearing a furious blush and Jimin smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Jungkook's brows furrow in sadness as he watches Jimin play with the other boy's hair, his cute chubby fingers twirling the brown strands around.

And damn...

It hurts.
