Incoming Call from Kookie

[hello! hyung, where are you now?]

"getting out of my house." he grabbed his key, waller and earphones then put them on his small shoulder bag. he wore his bag before leaving his house. he doesn't forget to lock the door.

[you're just getting out now? heck! okay, take your time.]

"hehe, sorry. but i'm running now."

the said park is just nearby his subdivision so it's just a walking distance for him.

[okay, hyung. see you.]

"okay, bye. see you."

Call Ended.

he hung up and put his phone in his bag.

just a few minutes passed when he finally arrived at the youth park. he was panting hard while looking around the surrounding. where are they?

he was about to get his phone from his bag to text jungkook but he was cut off when someone called him. "taehyung hyung!"

he proceeded to walk towards where his squad at. "sorry, guys."

"you're always late whenever we all go out." hoseok told him and he just smiled.

"let's go now. where do you wanna eat, guys?" yoongi asked and they all stood up from the bench.

"bonchon!" the 95z answered in chorus. taehyung blushed right away and jimin lightly smiled.

"sure, sure, bonchon it is. let's go!" hoseok excitedly said and cling onto his boyfriend yoongi.

they rode a taxi since bonchon is long distance from the park at they would be exhausted if they walk instead.

"jungkook, why didn't yeri come with us?" namjoon asked and the youngest looked at him.

taehyung is just listening at them. jimin's beside him, his head leaning on his shoulder.

"i told her but she said no. it's not that she doesn't want to but she's worried she might be out of place. so, yeah." jungkook replied and lightly smiled at namjoon.

"my god! it's been almost a year, she's still shy around us?" asked seokjin, eyes are widen.

"i don't know." jungkook just chuckled.

"jiminnie," taehyung called his bestfriend and jimin get his head off taehyung's shoulder then looked at him.

"hm?" he hummed.

"i'm embarrased with the powerpoint i sent you the last time. i don't even know what i'm saying. so embarrasing." taehyung pouted and looked down.

"why would you— taehyung, look at me." jimin hooked his fingers on taehyung's chin to make him look at him. he looked at him right in the eyes but taehyung looked everywhere expect him. "taehyung, look at him." jimin suggests.

"no, i'm shy." his pout grew even more.

jimin giggles and tickles taehyung's chin, "don't be shy. hey, it's okay. the presentation is really good. i really appreciate it. i admire every detail of it. it's really beautiful, promise."

"really? you're not kidding me?" taehyung asked and jimin just laughed.

"i'm serious, taehyung. it's really beautiful, even the contents." jimin  removed his fingers on taehyung's chin and booped his nose. "and of course, the creator is beautiful too."

"n-no! i'm not beautiful. i'm a guy."

"being beautiful doesn't mean you need to be a girl. even if you're a guy, for me you're still beautiful, taehyung. really."

"jimin, you make all the butterflies ramble in my stomach. i'm so overwhelmed right now, i'm shy." taehyung playfully slapped jimim in the chest.

"fine. i'll keep my mouth shut for a while then." jimin smiled then proceeded to put his head on the taehyung's shoulder again.

few minutes has passed and they've finally arrive at the bonchon chicken restaurant. yoongi paid the fare and then they got ofd the taxi one by one.

they walked inside and all the people there are staring at them.

"that one is so cute."

"which one?"

"the one with a ribbon in his hair. he looked like a girl, so cute." the girls giggled.

taehyung realized that he was the one the girls are talking about. he didn't mind them and just continue.

when they finally found a spot, they immediately took a seat. (they sat in circular : namjoon, seokjin, yoongi, hoseok, jimin, taehyung and jungkook)

they had discussed about their orders then yoongi and hoseok went to the counter to order.

×××

after they eat, they went to a nearby mall. they first go to the arcade. jungkook was very excited while buying tokens.

"noona, token please." he's so happy he's even hopping while giving the $200 to the lady at the counter. she just chuckled at him.

when the lady gave the tokens to jungkook, he excitedly grabbed it that he almost forgot to say 'thank you.'

they divide the tokens and separated by pairs (the arcade is large). they decided to just meet each other at the exit.

namjoon and seokjin suddenly became like a babysitter to jungkook. hozeok kept clinging onto yoongi as if he was going to be lost.

"jiminnie, try getting one there." taehyung pointed at the claw machine.

jimin glanced at the claw machine before looking at taehyung, it's difficult."

"just try it, please? i want that mickey mouse plushie." taehyung pouted. who is jimin to reject his bestfriend?

jimin then sighs, "fine."

taehyung jumped in happiness and pulled jimin towards the claw machine.

jimin stared at the mickey mouse plushie, that taehyung wants, for a bit before inserting a token.

"go, jiminnie!" taehyung cheered and jimin just shook his head, chuckling.

sadly, he didn't get it on the first try. also in second and third tries. he sighed, "i give up. it's so hard." he furrowed his eyebrows.

"jimin, one last try, please? if you don't get it again, then let's just leave it."

jimin sighed once again, "sure." he inserted a token once again and concentrated to get the plushie.

"go, jiminnie!"

"shh, don't cheer for me."

"oh, sorry."

taehyung is staring at the claw, follow his eyes on it. his eyes then went wide when he saw that the claw grabbed the plushie he wants.

oh my god. that's it, so close. get it, get it, get—

"yes!" they yelled at the same time and taehyung hopped again in happiness.

jimin grabs the plushie and gives it to taehyung who excitedly gets it from jimin's hand and hugs him. "thank you, jimin." the older hugs the younger back.

"anything for you, taetae."

ah, i'm blushing again.
