They were finally back home.

They went to their rooms and decided to rest after going around and having fun.

Taehyung was on his phone scrolling through social media, when he suddenly got a text.

Kookie

Minutes have passed and Taehyung still haven't received a reply from Jungkook.

He was about to go downstairs when his phone 'dinged'.

"What's up Kookie?"

The boy from the other line didn't answer, instead a sniffle was heard.

Taehyung got worried.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing hyung. It's just allergies."

"I know it's not. What happened? Why are you crying?"

"I told you. I'm not crying. It's just allergies."

"Jungkook, I'm not stupid. So you better tell me what happened."

"Hyung."

"Jungkook, don't test me."

"Can we meet up?"

"Where do you want to meet?"

"Han River."

"Okay. See you there."

And then the call ended.

He got his coat, his wallet and the keys of the house then headed to the door.

"Jimin, I'm going out!" Taehyung said as he left the house.

Taehyung arrived at Han River and waited for the younger.

While waiting, he received a message.

Kookie
Hyung, I'm here

Taehyung looked around and saw Jungkook.

He ran to the younger and immediately pulled him into a hug.

He heard sobs coming from the boy.

"Let it all out. It's okay. I'm here." Taehyung said as he comforted the younger.

When Jungkook stopped crying, they sat on a bench.

"Are you okay now?"

Jungkook nodded, looking at the ground.

"I just had a bad day."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Jungkook shook his head.

Taehyung sighed knowing that he can't force the younger to tell him what happened.

Jungkook's eyes are still focused on the ground.

"Sorry for making you go here."

"It's okay Kookie. You needed someone, so I came."

They sat there in comfortable silence.

Taehyung was thinking of a way to cheer up the younger.

"Hey, do you want to go get ice cream?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook nodded with a small smile.

Taehyung pulled Jungkook happily to an ice cream shop.

"What flavor do you want?"

"Chocolate."

"Okay, go find us a seat and I'll order."

A few minutes later, Taehyung got their order and went to find Jungkook only to find him seated with a girl.

"Oh, hi Tae! I didn't know you were here."
