Third Person P.O.V

The sun has set and all the lights of the bars are on which are making this place look like some colourful galaxy. The wind is ruffling softly, touching the two male’s skin as they pass through the bars while sitting in the boat.

The soft sound of the water waves is soothing their mind as they just sitting in silence. A wine glass is on their hand as they are sitting, facing each other. Mild smells of some delicious foods are colliding with the air and hitting their noses. All over the situation is making them feel soft and cozy.

“This place is so relaxing and colourful.” Taehyung breathes out.

The line catches Jungkook’s attention as he looks at the red-haired with a knowing smile.

The beautiful colours of the bar are reflecting on the water and that reflect is falling on Taehyung’s face, making his face glorious than ever. Jungkook looks at the boy with utter disbelief. He looks unreal. 

“Not more than you.” Jungkook confesses which makes Taehyung looking at him. He looks down immediately as he feels shy all over again.

“I….I just love nature. This beautiful rhythm of the water wave and this mild wind. It’s all feeling so right and good. It’s a perfect date for me. Thank you, Mr. Jeon.” Taehyung says with a teasing tone and the said boy chuckles as he bows his head with pleasure.

He looks around as he says, “You see those hutongs?”

Taehyung looks at the direction Jungkook is pointing and hums in response when he sees those beautiful cottages.

“The hutongs near the Sicha Lake were built over 800 years ago. This was around the time when the Mongolians made Beijing the capital city of the country. Beijing was called Dadu during that time.” Taehyung made an ‘O’ sound with his mouth as he responds to hearing the information.

He looks at Jungkook as he says, “You know quite a lot about this place. Did you major in history?”

But the red-haired immediately regrets asking the question as he notices the changes of expression on Jungkook’s face. The elder looks uneasy and somewhat sad. Jungkook looks down as he says nothing.

Taehyung curses himself under his breath as he says quickly, “I’m...I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I shouldn’t ask personal questions.”

“Don’t be, please. You did nothing wrong. You’ve all the right to ask anything to me.” Jungkook’s answer makes the red-haired soft for the hundredth time today as he smiles softly.

Jungkook gives back a pressed lip smile as well and looks at the glittering water. He sighs deeply and continues, “I was here in China for about 5 years when I was only 11.”

Taehyung doesn’t know why but the emotion of the other’s tone suddenly gives a pang on his chest as he feels sad. He notices the water in the corner of Jungkook’s eyes and he understands that this boy has a past as like him. Maybe a bad past? Also, like him. And the guilt inside him increases once again for suspecting this man. 

“You’ve met Hobi hyung, right? The man who received you at the airport?” Taehyung nodded his head as a reply and Jungkook trails softly, “He is like my elder brother. My only family. He was also here with me. Practically he raised me. He is my personal secretary but he cares for me like a parent. I offered him the position COO but he didn’t take saying that he wouldn’t be able to protect me then. We used to come here every two days a week. This is my favourite place.”

Taehyung smiles looking at the man. He feels so good and happy that Jungkook is opening up to him. Trusting him.

They can feel that their relationship is changing gradually. Where it started with an unknown feeling and mostly because of attraction and lust, it is turning into something real now.
