As long as anyone remembered, there were always three phases in everyone's life. Those phases could not be seen or reached by will, but only pass through one by one. First - the most innocent, sweet and fun one is - childhood. It's an amazing phase, full of light, laughter, fun and excitement. Second, darker, more opportunistic, challenging and serious is - adulthood. And the last one, the third one, the complete one - the elder state. Every person creates his own path and walks the way of his destiny which he is given by faith itself. Choosing among many roads, we walk through life, through phases, through challenges, through good and bad. We build up and change, we fall down and rise again, and we became the person we will be.

The change is inevitable, all you have to do is relax and let it leads you forward because if you fight it, you will lose your energy, you will be unhappy and stuck in the same place for a long time, but sooner or later, you will be pushed and you will fall, head down, into the abyss. To some, change from childhood to adulthood is easy and good, they welcome it, and they are ready, but there are some who cling to the old phase in fear of the unknown, with no courage to jump that leap of faith. One of those people was a boy named Jin.

Jin was a very beautiful boy who was afraid to grow up. He wanted to stay young forever. He acted childish, even though he was 16 years old. He loved to play, have fun, collect toys and act cute and sweet. He thought that the adults were boring and their world scared him. His parents didn't like the way he acted and were often telling Jin that he should take his life more seriously. They were worried about his future and didn't want him to suffer and be unhappy. They wanted a good life for him because they knew how cruel life could be. But making a boy become a person that he is not as cruel also, so they let him be, for now, hoping that the adolescence phase will finally start and take charge of his life.

Jin didn't have friends, since the ones he would meet, usually left him after a while, and went in search of other, more mature people. The children also refused to play with him since they found it weird for a grown boy to play with them. Jin was sad and lonely and he didn't know why.

One day, when he was sitting at the park, playing games on his phone, he met a very beautiful and charismatic young boy - Taehuyng. It was Taehyung who first approached, drawn by Jin's beauty and introduced himself politely, with a huge box smile on his face. Jin liked him right away, it was so easy to talk to Taehyung. It was like they knew each other their entire lives. 

Soon they discovered that they are very similar in many ways and that they both love to play, even though Jin was three years his senior. They became friends quickly and had a lot of fun together. They would run, dance, laugh, sing along and play video games all day long and the fact that Tae was at times childish, suited Jin, who, for the first time in his life, had a friend.

But every now and then Tae would act differently. He would be quiet, deep in his thoughts, and his already deep voice would go deeper, much more alluring than usual. He would start asking Jin serious questions about life, destiny, love and all other things, to which Jin had no answer. At those moments Tae would look all grown up, so different. Jin was intrigued but didn't ask Tae where this sudden change came from. He tried to turn Tae's mind to more pleasant thoughts and play. Sometimes he would succeed, and sometimes he wouldn't. Tae would usually just keep quietly lost in his thoughts or would suddenly get up and leave without goodbye. Jin was very confused, especially because Tae will return tomorrow and act normal like nothing happened the day before. In time Jin learned to accept his friend's weirdness and didn't ask much, until one day when curiosity got the best of him.

One day, when Tae was in one of his weird quiet moods, Jin plucked up the courage and asked him why he acts so differently sometimes. He was afraid that Tae would get angry at such a question and reject him, but Tae surprised him with a calm reply.

-'' Because I'm almost an adult.''

Jin's brows lowered in concentration. - ''I do not understand. How can you be almost an adult, when you are younger than me?''

- ''I was not afraid to grow up, like you.''

- ''I am not afraid either!'' - Jin burst out but felt embarrassed when Tae's eyes moved to stare at him.

- ''Are you sure? You don't seem like an adult, especially when you shout like that.'' - Tae's voice didn't change at all. It was still smooth and deep as silk.

- ''That's because I'm not an adult yet, and neither are you.'' - Jin said seriously and let go a little bit of steam by kicking a rock near his feet, into near bushes. They were walking in the secluded part of the park. The scenery was beautiful, the weather was warm and sunny, and birds' songs could be heard through the trees. Jin, who was enjoying the scenery till then, was now cursing himself for bringing the subject up. His friend is acting weird again and he really didn't want to argue with him now. He was about to apologize for asking when Tae spoke.

- ''Oh, but you are Jinnie. You are all grown up.''- Jin felt a shiver down his spine at the sound of Tae's voice, it was so different, quiet, deep and purring. He turned and was taken aback, for Tae was looking at him with an unfamiliar gleam in his eyes, which Jin didn't like at all.

-'' Why are you looking at me like that?'' - He asked, but Tae only smirked, and walked calmly around Jin, looking at him from head to toe, pausing for the moment on Jin's wide handsome shoulders, until resting his eyes on Jin's again. Jin felt anxious and excited at the same time, although the reason for that was completely unfamiliar to him.

- ''You really have no idea, do you?'' -Tae asked him, his eyes followed Jin's jawline appreciatively, then moved to his plump lips, clean skin, and back on Jin's eyes again, digging deep into his soul. Jin gulped nervously. He was never studied like that before. Sure, he got used to being admired for his beauty all the time, because he was always a beautiful boy, but never did he feel such heat and boldness in anyone's eyes before, until now.

- ''What are you talking about? Why are you acting weird ag....'' - Jin started but was cut by Tae.

- ''Don't you know how beautiful you are?'' - The voice gave Jin an involuntary shiver again, but he decided not to show how confused and nervous he really was. What was wrong with Taehuyng? He was scary now, he moved like a cat around Jin, looking at him with narrow eyes, and licking his lips. This wasn't his Tae, this was some "other" Tae, Jin thought. He raised his chin and tried to look serious, hiding the sudden fear he felt.

- ''Aaah, don't change the subject. Tell me...'' - He started again, but Tae cut him once more.

- ''Very beautiful and handsome indeed.'' - Tae came even closer, their bodies were almost touching and Jin could feel his warm breath on his face and fought off the urge to step back.

- ''What baffles me...'' - Tae continued - ''...is that you are completely unaware of how manly and handsome you look, and yet, have no idea what life has to offer you.

Tae cupped Jin's chin in his hand and drew himself even closer, so his lips were now on Jin's ear.

- ''Let me show you the wonders of adult life, my dear Jinnie.'' - He said in seducing voice and kissed the place on Jin's neck, right under his ear. Jin gasped and then moaned softly when Tae's lips touched his ear, a warm breath tingled his neck and he felt fire from head to toe. It was a weirdly arousing sensation and Jin closed his eyes for a moment, savouring it, his heart racing, forgetting everything for a mere second. A sharp pain shook him out of this spell, when Tae's teeth bite his ear and he screamed loudly, pushing Tae away from him.

- ''Are you crazy?! Why did you bite me?! It hurts!!! What is wrong with you?!!'' - Jin held his ear and start walking back, but Tae caught his hand and look at him apologetically. He was sweet Tae again, his big eyes were completely innocent, with no trace of "the other" Tae in them.

-'' Don't run Hyung and don't be afraid of me. I am sorry I scared you. I promise I won't do that again. I don't know why I did it. Forgive me. Please! Please forgive me!'' - Tae spoke fast, clinging to Jin's hand.

Jin looked at him dumbstruck but then shook his head to clear his mind. - ''Fine. Fine, let go of me now! You are hurting my hand!'' - He said, removing Tae's strong grip from his fingers. -'' I'll forgive you for now - He added, still massaging his aching fingers which Tae crushed only moments ago - ''But don't let it happen again.''
