Ten-year-old Jung-kook didn't have the faintest idea of what to do with his newfound friend. First, he had the same curiosity as others why Taehyung would have blue eyes and blonde hair when he noticed that most, if not all Korean boys had dark brown pupils and black manes. So what came out of his mouth was to him, a quite plausible question:

"Did you come from outer space?"

The boy let out a small chuckle. "No, actually, my mother was a mermaid that my dad rescued from the sea."

Jung-kook looked at Taehyung with seriousness in his eyes. "Oh, I see, and is that why I have never seen your mom around here?"

The blonde didn't expect his new friend would be so gullible. But since he's bored and wanted a good laugh, he played along.

"Yes, my dad and I keep her down in the well on the other side of the farm, because she can't be on dry land for too long, and also we didn't want people to see her and maybe cut and eat her as fish," Taehyung told Jung-kook with a straight face.

"That's kinda horrible! I don't think I can live in a place not being able to move around, and especially when it's dark!" Jung-kook exclaimed.

Taehyung looked at Jung-kook. "Umm.... Do you realize what you just said?"

The raven-haired boy shook his head.

"You did that for so long, remember? I was so sure you were locked inside that big palace of yours and I thought you couldn't come out." Taehyung stated exasperatedly.

Jung-kook stayed silent, not knowing why Taehung was mad at him for not venturing out of the house sooner. It wasn't like they're friends with each other before and he just ignored the blue-eyed boy.

"Is it because you're better than us farm people?" Taehyung asked Jung-kook, who couldn't hold his tongue any longer after being wrongly accused by somebody glaring at him with sapphire eyes.

"Listen here, Taehyung, do not talk about things you don't know about," Jung-kook responded. "We just met so do not trust everything you hear about me. If I don't understand anything, I ask questions. I may not be as smart as you are, but I'm only trying to become your friend here."

Taehyung stared at Jung-kook, not expecting him to reply with anger. Jung-kook was right, but Taehyung wouldn't admit it. He would not let some rich, young master put him down (or so that's what Taehyung presumed Jungkook was doing).
