Author's POV

It's a new day in Banghock, and Seokjin is relishing his day as best he can. 

Once again, he finds himself in the middle of the open-air secret garden in Banghock, reflecting on the mysterious letter, his life, and his emotions. 

Seokjin and Hoseok spent the entire day discussing the letter, yet they couldn't uncover any clues. That's when Hoseok begins to consider the possibility of it being a prank, but Seokjin knows his grandmother wouldn't play such a trick—especially when the letter sounds genuine and urgent. 

He is aware that his grandmother is guiding him towards something and that something is big. What he doesn't understand for now is the word at the very end of the letter. 

PT1.

The multiple interpretations of "PT1" overwhelm him, leaving him disconnected from his brain cells or so. With so much happening at once, he can't make sense of it all, not even in his rest. 

As he gazes at the clear blue sky outside, Seokjin smiles, hoping the serene sight can alleviate his worries. Swaying gently with the artificial breeze, he hums to himself. 

Suddenly, he gasps as he feels arms encircling his waist.  

Looking down at the arms embracing him, he places his hands on them with a delicate touch. "Who are you?"

"Who else could it be if it ain't me, hyung?"Taehyung's soothing voice brings a sense of calmness to Jin. 

"Why are you here?" 

"To be by your side, my love." 

Jin scoffs and gently releases the arms around him as he spins around to meet the eyes of the younger. 

"Remember, we are nothing, Tae." 

"Yet," Taehyung replies confidently. 

"Excuse me?" 

"We are nothing. Yet."  

Seokjin chuckles at Taehyung's determination and enthusiasm. 

"You're quite eager. I won't fall for you that easily, Tae. Keep dreaming." 

"I doubt that. Not yet." 

"Never." 

"Your game doesn't sway me, hyung," Taehyung smirks. 

"This is no game between us."

"Oh, okay. And how do you explain the game of hard to get?" He winks. 

Jin rolls his eyes and walks deeper into the garden, hoping to create some distance from Taehyung. However, the younger persists and follows him. 

Taehyung refuses to give up. Will never give up. After years of living, this is his first love, and he is determined not to let it slip away. He will fight for it. 

As Taehyung draws near, he reaches out and takes Jin's hand, halting his movement. 

"What now?" 

"Um... Can I... I mean, can we... No, wait... Can you... Ugh... Can we... you know, hang out sometime? Like dinner or lunch or-" 

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Jin asks with a straight face, causing Taehyung to panic. 

"W-well... If you want to... I've never really asked anyone out, and you're..." 

"Your first?" 

Taehyung looks at Seokjin with his doe eyes and nods.Seokjin is about to respond when their conversation is abruptly interrupted.
