Spring Day

'If I told you that I got kidnapped by BTS, will you believe me?'

Bae Jihyun can imagine her fellow Army replying to her question with a "Hm? Whose fanfiction is this? It sounds interesting."

But it's real!

She cried without tears.

Even though she really liked BTS, the atmosphere in the van was like a choke to her neck. Every one of them stared at her like the strangest piece in the museum. What's even worse was that Kim Taehyung who dragged her to this situation didn't notice it. He just cheerfully told their childhood stories to his sworn brothers.

Of course, he didn't confess to the fact that Bae Jihyun was his first love.

Well…. even if he didn't, it was already crystal clear to everyone except for the target herself.

Taehyung has always been the shining star that brightens up the sky in BTS' lives. He sometimes acts more childish than the youngest, Jeon Jungkook. It can't help that he gets spoiled though, how could anyone resist his charms? From actors to comedians, to old and young, no one could stop their hearts from melting whenever they see Kim Taehyung.

But this time, in the presence of his childhood friend, the man suddenly become warmer. Even if it was already winter, the weather felt like a spring day instead… flowers bloomed around his sweet smile.

The members have never seen Kim Taehyung this happy. It felt entirely different from the happiness he was showing in the past. He looked more innocent, like a pure little boy who hasn't been tainted with the cruelty of the world.

He is so precious.

"This—" Bae Jihyun who felt a headache coming ever since she got kidnapped didn't know what was going through the mind of her idols. With a flushed face, she said: "It was my niece who set the ringtone, not me!"

"Yes, yes." Taehyung who was putting a band-aid on her knee nodded his head. "I believe you."

He definitely does not believe her.

The man has already changed to fresh clothes. Bae Jihyun, on the other hand, was forced to remove her muddy shirt. Thankfully, he didn't outright strip her naked.

He did grin as he asked "Do you need some help?" but let's just ignore that so the Army can still look at their V with the same innocence as they used to.

Every time Jihyun breathed in, she could smell his scent on the shirt she was wearing. It was huge too, turning into a dress. If she removed her jeans then it would be the perfect 'boyfriend-shirt' which incites a man's burning desire.

Bae Jihyun sighed. "You need to let me go, Tae." She pouted. "You know that my Dad is strict."

If her phone didn't die with its empty battery, it would've already been started blaring its ringtone non-stop until her Father finds her. Thankfully, Taehyung was not so merciless to not lend her a charger. She just needs a while before she can use it, and to be honest, she is quite scared of what her Dad will say as Jihyun didn't come back at the promised time.

Kim Taehyung shrugged at her words. He sat on the couch with her as he sweeps off the blue hair that was prickling his eyes.

They were currently inside one of the bedrooms in the hotel BTS was temporarily staying at. There was a king-sized bed, couch, TV, and its own bathroom. Though Jihyun was reluctant to talk here alone with Taehyung, she didn't have any other choice or else the other members will poke in their conversation and make fun of the two.

She felt conscious of the huge bed behind them though, not only her but also the man who was sitting beside her. If you look closely, his ears were bright red in embarrassment.

"Are you listening to me?"

"No."

"..." Bae Jihyun turned speechless.

Her blank expression made him chuckle but he quickly turned serious once again. "You don't call me Oppa anymore."

She held her head. "We're at the same age."

"But you call me Oppa before!"

"That was a long time ago!"

Just when the two people were going to continue arguing again, a knock was heard on the door. Taehyung said 'come in' before Kim Seokjin opened it while carrying a tray.

"Tea?"

Behind the man were three other people who were trying to hide but failed to do so. They keep peeking inside the room and seem to be even betting on something as they start handing coins and bills on the table.

Jihyun was going to open her lips to say 'No, thank you' at his offer until a man cut her off and said: "She doesn't like tea." He paused. "Unless you add some milk on sugar to make it sweet. Otherwise, hot choc—."

"I'll have some tea, thank you very much!!!" Bae Jihyun glared at Taehyung and the latter held his hand up in surrender at her piercing eyes.

"Tea it is." Kim Seokjin laughed which made her eyes shine.

'Ahhh! I heard Kim Seokjin's laugh live!!!' If only she could grab a camera and take a video of this, she would've, but Bae Jihyun respects their privacy so she just saved the memory in her heart.

Though her expression was subtle, a certain green-eyed man went gloomy and thought 'Aren't I the most handsome man in the world?' He suddenly felt that such a thing was useless as the person he wants to attract the most don't care about it one bit.

'First, it was Yoongi-hyung. Now it's Seokjin-hyung!? What about me? Me!?'

After pouring cups of tea, Kim Seokjin smiled at the two like a Mother spoiling his children "I'll leave you two then."

"Don't be too loud in there!!!" Someone shouted just as the door close, followed by malicious laughter resounding in the living room.

Bae Jihyun went red, and so did Kim Taehyung. He scratched his head because of the shamelessness of his brothers. "So," he cleared his throat, somehow feeling thirsty. "Question, Jihyun."

"Mhm?" Jihyun took a sip of the tea making her eyebrows scrunched up at the bitter taste.

Taehyung almost laughed thinking 'so stubborn' before asking with a tone of feeling wronged. "Why did you leave me?"

She almost choked at that question of his. Bae Jihyun didn't dare to look him in the eyes as she is certain that he's wearing his puppy eyes again.

"Why did you leave me without saying goodbye?"

"I… " an image flickered in her eyes which made her heart almost stop. She set the cup back at the table before clutching her chest to calm down.

Kim Taehyung didn't force her this time, he patiently waited for her words as he drank his own tea.

Bae Jihyun took a deep breath. "I also didn't know." She really didn't expect that that would happen. She lowered her head as she continued "My Dad just took me in Canada without notice. I didn't have the chance to tell you."

Her voice shook. "I'm sorry."

Taehyung went silent and she felt suffocated in this kind of atmosphere. It felt like someone was tightening a rope around her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.

Only their heavy breaths were heard for a few minutes before the man chuckled to himself. "It's fine."

'Though I wish you could've sent me some letters at least,' but what's done was done. They should just look into the future. After all, there's still a lot of time to make up for all the years they hadn't seen each other.

"So you've been living in Canada all these years?"

Jihyun finally turned her head, her eyes were glistening. "Yeah."

This followed by the same conversation she had with Taehyung's Grandmother on how life in Canada was. He also asked about her visit to the cemetery, he was really thankful for that. Jihyun asked why he went there too but Kim Taehyung merely laughed and said: "It was a coincidence."

Just as he was going to ask about the last page she ripped off the sketchbook, the man finally noticed her unnatural expression. "You look pale." He shook his head. "You shouldn't force yourself if you can't drink it."

"Aa-?" The cup of tea in her hand suddenly disappeared and went to Kim Taehyung's hand. He drowned it in one go before sticking his tongue like a dog.

"Hot-hot-hot-hot—"

"You're so stupid!!" Bae Jihyun couldn't help but laugh. She grabbed a glass of water that was on the bedside table and handed it to him.

Taehyung drank the cold water in a rush. After finally feeling a bit better except for the sting inside his mouth, he pulled hard on those puffy cheeks that were still laughing at his actions. "You're stupid!!"

"Whaf bib yu shay!?"

"I said you're the stupid one!"

"Whaf!? Bo yu wan tto fighft!?"

"Sure!!! Bite me, I dare you!!"

"Hmf, why woubf I not dare!?"

"You—wai—gaAaaAAAAAAHh!!!!"

On the other side of the door.

"!!!!!!" Jeon Jungkook froze while Jung Hoseok's eyes widen in disbelief "Did they actually—!!?"

"Stop." Kim Namjoon pinched the bridge of his nose in impatience. "Taehyung wouldn't dare."

Park Jimin's eyes swam"But—" He paused, his voice lowering to a whisper. "That was Tae-hyung screaming, right?"

Min Yoongi who had his eyes closed and laying down on the carpet laughed. Without opening them, he added, "In pain." He didn't make his words implicit as he continued "Unless that's the kind of fetish they want in bed."

And thus, three men's imaginations suddenly went chaotic as they imagine their beloved and adorable Kim Taehyung being whipped by a woman—
