Third Person's P.O.V :-

"But Father!!! I don't wanna visit grandma in Busan! I wanna stay here with Ryu!!!" A 13 years old Jimin whined to his father

Mr. Park sighed and looked down at his pouting son,"Jimin, Ryu's daughter is having a kid, he needs to visit them and stay with them for a few days" He tried to make Jimin understand

"Then why are you leaving?! Stay here! I don't wanna go to there!" He whined again

Mr. Park rubbed his eyes in distress,"Jimin, you know, as a film director I can't do that, a schedule is a schedule, besides I've had you informed beforehand, you can't just complain now" He said and walked towards the living room

"Nobody likes me, there!" Jimin followed after his dad trying to convince me,"I don't have any friends!"

Mr. Park sat down on the couch and eyed his teenager son,"Well, if you stay engrossed within your phone all day, like there's no tomorrow, then it's kinda obvious that you'll have no friends" He said nonchalantly,"But grandma likes you a lot, you can make her your friend" He said as he opened his phone

Jimin pouted even more,"But I don't want grandma as my friend!"

Mr. Park sighed,"Then try to stay away from your phone and actually pay attention to others while they're talking"

Jimin just simply stared at Mr. Park,"There's no way I'm getting out of it, is there?"

"Nope"

Jimin cursed his fate mentally.

"Omo!!! My little Mochi! You are finally here!!!" Just as Jimin set his feet into his grandma's house, his cheeks were immediately being squeezed till they turned red

"GranmA! Ik hratz!" He tried to tell her

"Oh! Sorry, Jim-bobs" She laughed and stepped back,"It's been a year since I last saw you, how have you been my mochi?"

Jimin gave her an angry pout. He hated being called that. He's a human! Not a mochi!

"Normal!" He yelled and stormed inside

His grandma watched him go and sighed,"Teenagers are hard to maintain"

Later that day, Jimin was on the PC, checking up on his favourite band when suddenly the electricity supply was cut off

"What the-!" He exclaimed at the black screen and noticed the lack of electricity

Coming down the stairs, he noticed his grandma in the garden talking with other women of her age

"Grandma? Where did the electricity go?" He asked interrupting their conversation

"They are placing a new electronic pole in here so the electricity just comes and goes, comes and goes~" She smiled at him as her friends cooed at him for being so cute and chubby

His grandma laughed at their antiques,"Jim-bobs? Why don't you go to the river side? I'm sure you'll find children of your age there" She gave him a smile

Jimin frowned but at least it was better than sitting inside a bark house,"Fine..." He said and exited the house of his grandma.

"Haha! Look it's the rich kid again!"

Jimin could hear some boys laughing at him from the distance as he walked towards the river

He clicked his tongue in annoyance, he knew it! Nobody liked him in here! Specifically the kids!

"Oi, rich kid"

Jimin stopped in his tracks as he looked up to see an older boy blocking his way

'Oh no! It's that bully from last year!' Jimin  panicked

"Ye-yes?" He timidly answered

The bully smirked,"Looks like you remember me, let's cut the crap, hand me all the money you have with you just like last time"

Jimin protectively covered his pockets,"I do-don't have money with me..." He lied

He was saving money for a new game that his father refused to buy him, he said if he started to fulfill his each and every desire he'd be spoiling him...

"Oh? You don't?" The bully asked,"Then why are you covering your pockets like that?!" He yelled,"Do you think you can fool me?!" He yelled again making small Jimin shake in fear as tears brimmed in his eyes

"Bu-but these are m-my money..." He hiccuped

"Why you-!" The bully exclaimed and stepped towards him with his fist up high in the air to punch him while Jimin closed his eyes tightly

"Syungyo!"

Both the bully, named Syungyo, and Jimin looked to their side to see a little boy around Jimin's age standing there

"Taehyung!" Syungyo exclaimed as he stepped away from Jimin,"What are you doing here?" He asked

Taehyung looked at him with angry eyes,"What are you doing in here?" He crossed his arms over his little chest

"No-nothing!" Syungyo's attitude took a 180° turn as his voice softened

"Stop it, Syungyo! I have eyes I can see! You were blackmailing this boy for money weren't you?!" He yelled

"No-I"

"I'll tell your mom and then she'll ground you for two months!" Taehyung threatened

"No! Don't do that Taehyung!" Syungyo yelled, mortified,"If you want I can give you a little shear from what I get from this kid" He tried to bribe him

"No! That's even worse!" Taehyung declined

"Then what do you want?!" Syungyo yelled

"I want you to leave this boy and do not bully him anymore" Taehyung said

"What?! No!" Syungyo yelled

"Fine, then I'll tell your mom-"

"NOOO!!!" Syungyo yelled and sighed,"Fine! I'll leave this kid alone..." He glared at the crying Jimin one last time before walking off

Taehyung watched Syungyo walking past him and approached the slightly sniffing Jimin,"Are you Okey?" He asked as he grabbed his shoulder to comfort him

"Wh-why did you help me?" Jimin asked as he wiped away his tears

"Because you are a guest" Taehyung said cheerfully and smiled

Jimin looked at him,"Guest?"

"Yes! My dad is the incharge of taking care of all the tourist who come to visit us in here, so as his son, I'm helping him to create a good and welcoming atmosphere here!" He said happily

"My name's Taehyung! Nice to meet you!" He bowed down with a straight posture

Seeing such a mannered boy made Jimin  want to do the same

"My name's Jimin, nice to meet you too!" He bowed as well

Taehyung smiled at him and for the first time in life, Jimin witnessed a square shaped smile...

In the twilight of that memorable day, Jimin saw Taehyung with his adorable boxy smile as he resembled an angel

An angel who saved Jimin from a bully.

As if the fate brought them together that day for a special purpose...

It was a fateful meeting indeed.
________________________________

A few days later, the story changed whole totally.

"Yo! Jiminie! Come out!" Taehyung yelled from the road as the window slide open and Jimin peeped out

"Coming Taetae!" He yelled

"Grandma! I'm leaving with Taetae!" Jimin  informed his grandmother as he came out with a baseball bat & glove and grinned at Taehyung

"I'm ready!"

Taehyung grinned back,"Hop on my bicycle, Jiminie!"

They played with some kids of the neighborhood till the evening and called it off after winning it

"You were awesome, Jiminie!" Taehyung praised as he walked beside Jimin while dragging the bicycle with him

"Taetae?" Jimin asked

"Yeah?" Taehyung faced him

"I...I'm leaving tomorrow....for the capital..." Jimin gloomily declared

Taehyung's smile fell off,"S-so early? Wouldn't you stay a few more days?" He asked

"No...Father is coming back and he said I'm missing on my studies...I have to go back to Seoul..." He said

Taehyung looked down,"Why....why are you telling me now?" He whispered

"I...want you to come with me..." Jimin said knowing he was sounding stupid

"That's not possible, Jimin, my family, school, friends, everything is here. I can't otherwise, I would have." Taehyung said looking sad

Jimin stopped walking as they reached the bridge over the river and so did Taehyung

"I know Taetae..." Jimin bit his lips,"But you are my only friend, everyone else stays with me for my money, I want to be with you..." He said as he brushed his hands over Taehyung

Taehyung noticed it and looked up at Jimin with frown written across his face

"Ji...minie?" He asked

"I...like you, Taetae....a lot" Jimin confessed with blushing cheeks

"But..." Taehyung was confused,"You're a boy..."

Jimin knew what that meant as his hope died,"Oh...so you're straight..." He turned to leave

"Wait! Jiminie!" Taehyung stopped him by the wrist,"I didn't mean to hurt you! I....like you too?" He asked more to himself uncertainly

Jimin grimaced at Taehyung's failure of an attempt to cheer him up,"It's alright, Taetae, you don't have to lie, I understand...." He whispered shakily as his insides churned,"Just...don't hate me for being like this..." He looked up at Taehyung with tearful eyes

Taehyung's eyes widened,"Jiminie! Why are you crying?!" He exclaimed and went to hug but Jimin pushed him back

"It's ok, Taetae, leave me to myself....it's better like this and I'm leaving tomorrow anyway..." He said and started to walk away leaving Taehyung over the bridge in confusion

"Jim-bobs? Are you alright, dear?" Jimin's grandma asked as he sat in his room sniffing on the pillow

"Ye-yeah, grandma...I'm just a little bit hurt..." He answered shakily

"Did you hurt yourself while playing today?" Grandma asked with concern shining in her eyes

"Ye-yes, grandma, but it's Okey, Father says some wounds don't need medicine they just need time" He tried to smile

Grandma came towards him with a proud smile and patted his head,"He taught you well, Jim-bobs, he's right but can you endure it?"

"Ye-yes, Grandma, I can.." He said softly

"Ok, call me if the pain is too much Okey?"

Jimin nodded as his grandma got up and left the room

"If only you could lessen my pain grandma, if only...."

Next day, early morning Jimin went to the river side and sat on it's bank watching the flow go by

The sun wasn't even out then and by the looks of the sky it wasn't planning on coming out any time soon either...

The entire sky was covered by dark clouds

'Perfect for my mood' Jimin thought gloomily

Suddenly a drop of water fell on the tip of his nose and he looked up

It was raining...

'Great, just great...' He sat there in rain as the soft soothing drops of water started to wet his skin millimetre by millimetre

But suddenly, Jimin could see the rain pouring down but none touched his skin...

He looked up to see a black umbrella being help over his head

He turned back to see none other than Taehyung standing there holding the umbrella for him

"Taetae..." He whispered

Taehyung smiled at him and sat down beside him as they shared the same umbrella

"Last night, I thought what you told me in the evening..." He said

"And...?" Jimin gulped while asking

"And I think it's not wrong to like boys!" Taehyung said cheerfully,"In fact, I think I like...boys too..." He whispered and licked his lips

Jimin's eyes widened as his cheeks turned rosy

'I-is that a hint?!' Jimin's insides blasted with happiness

"The-then!" Jimin suddenly faced him with anxious yet excited eyes,"Yo-you wouldn't mind if I ki-kiss you, ri-right?" He asked while blushing

Taehyung blushed a little and turned his face to stared at the river as his bit his lips,"Kiss?" His breath quivered and he felt griddly

"Sure" he turned to Jimin and closed his eyes expecting Jimin to steal his first kiss

He even plucked his lips out for it.

Jimin smiled at Taehyung and went closer but instead of kissing him on the lips he gave him a smooch on the cheek

Taehyung blushed darkly and covered his face,"Ahhh!! I thought you were about to kiss me why did you kiss my cheek?!" He exclaimed in embarrassment

Jimin smiled,"Because I love you"

He made the right decision because the blush he saw after he said that wouldn't had appeared on Taehyung's cheeks if he had stolen his first kiss

Jimin would never regret his decision.
______________________________

"Bye, Taetae" Jimin smiled and hugged Taehyung as he hugged him back

"Come here more often from now on! I'm gonna miss you" Taehyung told him

"I will" Jimin said and got inside the car after bidding his last goodbye

That promise however couldn't be kept
_________________________________________

Shortly after Jimin's return to Seoul, Mr. Park won the award of Director of the year and reached higher fame, they got richer and the incidents of kidnapping Jimin or murder threats for money started to increase

Mr. Park forbid Jimin from going out and kept him under 24/7 security

One month later, Mr. Park brought his mom to Seoul and sold the property he owned there

Leaving Jimin  no other way than to continue his life in Seoul....

Four years later when a 17 years old Jimin finally got the chance to visit Busan through his school trip, he found out that Taehyung had moved out of his house and his family was on two month's holiday trip....

Every chance of connection had shattered and Jimin had given up on contacting Taehyung anymore...

One year later 18 years old Jimin decided to become a K-pop artist to show the haters that he was not his father's shadow

But he had to lose all those baby fats in order to become a trainee

Within another year he was an entirely new person with new personality and appearance that he was totally unrecognisable....

He however met him, 7 years after, in a bar...

Jimin couldn't even recognize him at first, puberty had hit him hard....

It wasn't until three days later than their meeting date that Jimin finally decided to do some research on Taehyung and connected every link

And indeed it was serendipity

Because what else can you call it?

Jimin smiled and hugged Taehyung tighter who was snuggling into his neck

'You might have forgotten about me, Taetae but I haven't and I'm so glad I finally found you'

They stayed there, one enjoying the moment the other seeking comfort in another's arms

They were so engrossed within themselves that they didn't notice the dark pair of doe eyes watching them from the rooftop of the studio...

'He used to come running into my arms when he felt insecure....' Jungkook thought sadly as his hold on the railing of the rooftop got tighter

'Thank you for snatching it away from me, Park Jimin...' Jungkook gritted his teeth and left the spot.
