 Yoongi and Jeongguk are in the taxi riding to Yoongi’s home. Both of the boys are still purely awake while the sun is in deep sleep. Taehyung wanted to stick to Yoongi for more hours, Yoongi also wanted that but he is still in denial. The whole ride was quiet but not awkward, they were just enjoying each other’s presence.
Taehyung glanced at Yoongi who was looking outside the window for a second and went to look outside the car’s window as well. When Yoongi felt that Taehyung looked at him, he glanced at Taehyung as well and smiled a little. He eyed outside the car’s window as he slowly slid his hand across Taehyung’s hand laying on the car’s seat. Taehyung startled from the sudden coldness from Yoongi’s hand. Taehyung intertwined their hands, the corner of his lips rose and he bit his bottom lips to refrain himself from smiling so big.
Taehyung is the first one who left the taxi first, he stood up in front of a house, it’s not too big and not too small either. He continued to scan the place while Yoongi paid for their ride. He was awed from the exterior of the house, it’s just simple and white. It’s peaceful and it looks so mental friendly. It just looks so comfortable, it doesn’t look intimidating, it looks so expensive and elegant.
“Are you just going to stand here outside?”, Yoongi asked him with his monotone voice.
Taehyung was startled and jumped a little “You startled me!”, he exclaimed. Yoongi ignored and passed him. Since the house doesn’t have a gate he just simply walks straight to the door and unlocks it with his key. Taehyung followed him like an obedient tiger tamed by a cat.
Yoongi went inside and kept the door open for Taehyung. The inside of Yoongi’s house is fresh and so minimal, just like the exterior the interior is also white. Yoongi undressed his coat and laid it on the armchair of the sofa.
“You can sit”, Yoongi told Taehyung without looking at him and walked to the kitchen.
Taehyung sat on the sofa stiffly, he felt a little awkward now that they are alone. He is still not forgetting the past ‘rose’ incident and he is still guilty. He roamed his eyes around the house as he tapped his right foot on the floor and clenched his coat a little.
“Tiger, relax”, Yoongi said, holding two cups of coffee as he walked to the sofa beside Taehyung.
“Tiger”, Taehyung whispered to himself and smiled at the endearment.
Yoongi sat beside him and put the cups on the coffee table in front of them. He leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs, he stretched his arm to get his cup and sipped. Yoongi looks at Taehyung signalling him to drink the coffee but Taehyung smiled awkwardly, he scratched the back of his hair “I don’t drink coffee”
“Is that so?”
“Sorry kitten”, Yoongi stopped from sipping his coffee and his cheeks are flushed with a light pink color.
“Kitten?”, Yoongi asked quietly.
“Uhm… you called me tiger. So…? I thought we are giving nicknames”, Taehyung laughed awkwardly.
“It’s okay…”, Taehyung looked at him attentively “tiger”, continued.
“Kitten”, Taehyung said with a wide smile on his face.
The air was filled with love and calmness, none of them attempted to say anything to break the silence. You can only hear Yoongi sipping on the cup that was supposed for Taehyung with the tapping of Taehyung’s feet on the floor.
“Sir Min?”, They both looked at the direction of voice at the same time. An old woman looked like a caretaker of the house, she was dressed nicely and neatly.
“Oh! Granny”, Yoongi’s monotone voice disappeared and changed to a loving one but his face is still the same, stoic.
Yoongi stood and came to her. After a second Yoongi was engulfed by a warm hug by the woman. “I missed you Yoongi-ah”, the woman told Yoongi.
They both parted and yoongi pulled the old woman to sit. The old woman is looking at Taehyung, Taehyung felt conscious because it was like she was staring at his insides. “Who is this young man?”, the old woman asked with a strict demeanor.
“I’m T-“, Taehyung was cut off “Yoongi?”, the old woman stared at Yoongi waiting for an answer.
“T-this is T-taehyung”, Yoongi stuttered but still cute and whispered Taehyung’s name?
“I didn’t heard you Yoongi-ah”
“Taehyung, he is Taehyung”, Yoongi repeated but this time it’s louder and clearer for the old woman to hear.
“Tae tae-ah?”, the old woman’s eyes filled with excitement. Taehyung furrowed at the nickname but he just brushed it off. The old woman faced Taehyung and grabbed his face. She checked Taehyung’s face.
“Do you remember me?”, the old woman asked Taehyung and he furrowed in confusion.
“Grandma”, Yoongi said in a warning tone.
“Oh! Sorry. I forgot to introduce myself”, the old woman chuckled.
“I am Yoongi’s grandma, I raised him since my son and his wife died in an accident”, Grandma Min introduced herself.
“Sorry for what happened.”, Taehyung apologized and the air changed into a sad air.
“No! It’s okay. It has already passed many years”, Grandma Min said and the mood went light.
“So do both of you have already eaten?”
“We already had dinner with his parents’ grandma”, Yoongi answered.
Grandma stood up “I don’t care. I’ll cook and you two are going to eat”, she caressed Taehyung’s face for the last time before going to the kitchen.
“I’m sorry about her”, Yoongi apologizes and his tone went back to monotone.
“It’s okay kitten, she’s sweet”, Taehyung said and leaned the sofa more comfortably than earlier.
“He grew up into a fine man”, Grandma said as she prepared something alone in the kitchen.
