Taehyung sat between Hoseok and Namjoon.

Namjoon kept staring at Hoseok, who appeared to be highly professional and serious. He just smiled once when he hugged Taehyung. Other than that, he had a serious face. Namjoon almost felt like the man was quite serious.

On the other hand, Namjoon flashed his dimple smile when he saw his younger brother and the stranger, good-looking male hug. He loved to see Taehyung's boxy grin. His polite smile didn't go unnoticed by Hoseok though. He had the ability to see right through people, and he could see that the dimple smiled man was not only attractive but also a wonderful human being.

Taehyung was close to both the elders. He could see the awkwardness around him. So he decided to introduce the two of them, as they both were really important to him. He wanted them to be good friends too so that all of them could hang out in the future without any awkwardness. He took a mental note to introduce Jimin to the other two as well.

To get the attention of the two, he coughed. "Gentlemen, as you are both aware, my name is Kim Taehyung, and I am an idol who is younger than the two of you." He spoke seriously but he failed to hide his mischievous smile.

The humorous male made Namjoon and Hoseok laugh. He shifted his gaze to Hoseok, who sat to his left. "Namjoon hyung, he is Jung Hoseok. Oops! Advocate Jung in the house. He is really famous and I call him Hobi hyung." He smiled and Hoseok couldn't help but laugh at the way the younger introduced him.

"Gosh! I missed you, dork." Hoseok leaned to his right and hugged the giggling male.

Taehyung then turned around to face Namjoon, who had a soft gaze on him. "And Hobi hyung, he is Kim Namjoon. Dr. Kim, if we are being specific." Namjoon ruffled Taehyung's hair with a smile.

Taehyung had the tendency to lighten the mood with his dorkiness. The other two finally looked at each other.

Hoseok rose to his feet and extended his hand. "Dr. Kim, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jung Hoseok, and I'm a lawyer. It's great to meet you!" He smiled.

Namjoon too stood up and held Hoseok's hand. "Hello, Mr. Jung. My name is Kim Namjoon, and I'm a gynecologist."

Taehyung pouted at the two formal males who had forgotten about him. "Argh! I'm here as well. Now sit down you two."

The other two chuckled and nodded, taking their seats. The awkwardness had disappeared in the thin air.

Hoseok noticed Taehyung fiddling his fingers. Something was bothering him, he could tell. He wouldn't have asked to meet on such short notice if he didn't have to. "Is there something upsetting you, Tae?"

Taehyung's eyes were misty when he glanced at Hoseok. "Hyung! Jungkook and Jia have started dating. What will I do if she decides to move on?"

"I've told you several times to tell her the truth, but you just keep telling the same thing about how you'll tell her after she has forgiven you," Hoseok grumbled.

"When he revealed everything to me for the first time, I proposed the same thing." Namjoon chimed in on the conversation.

"Since the first time he came to me, I've been saying the same thing. She had left him at the time, and I understand that he was unable to find her. But now that he has her, I don't understand why he isn't telling the truth after all these years." Hoseok was so done with Taehyung and his stubbornness.

"I was ready to take the case, but there's nothing I can do if Taehyung refuses to do what I ask him to. He's making things more complicated than they need to be." Hoseok sighed and Namjoon shook his head in disbelief.

Namjoon patted Taehyung's shoulder. "Tae, at least think about it. If not for Jia, then for Ji-hu at the very least."

They both sat quietly so that Taehyung could think straight for once. Till then, they ordered food and waited for some more time for Taehyung to speak.

"Aera, when we will sleep together again?" Ji-hu inquired cutely over a call with a prominent pout.

"I also want to sleep with you, Ji-hu. I miss you." Aera sighed in return.

"I got idea. How about we live together?" Ji-hu inquired with an excited voice.

"But we can't. Appa said we can only live together when we are married." Aera responded cutely as she remembered how her father once said that to her.

"Then why is Appa not living with us? He is mawrried to Eomma. I even saw pictures." Ji-hu asked with a concerned voice. If his parents were married, shouldn't they be staying together?

"You should ask you eomma, Ji-hu." Aera encouraged her best friend, making Ji-hu nod in return as if the girl could see him.

"So we have to mawrry to live together?" Ji-hu inquired again. The boy was surely a curious one.

"I think so." Aera smiled as she didn't know the exact reason why they couldn't live and sleep together otherwise.

"Okay, so we will mawrry and then we will watch movies and sleep together. I will talk to Appa." Ji-hu chirped with a huge smile.

"Okay, we will marry. I will also talk to Appa." Aera smiled at the thought of playing and sleeping with her best friend all the time if they married.

The cute little beans talked about other things before disconnecting the call, finally making up their mind to marry each other.

Children are indeed innocent and curious.

"Hyung, did you get the autograph?" Taehyung inquired, clapping his hands and his eyes bright with anticipation.

"I'm sorry, Tae. I didn't get to meet her because she was in Busan." Hoseok responded with a melancholy expression, causing Taehyung to sigh and Namjoon to be perplexed.

"Who's autograph?" Namjoon asked with a puzzled look.

"This brat is a fan of my sister. She's an anime artist." Hoseok responded.

Taehyung turned towards Namjoon, holding his hands. "Hyung, do you know the popular anime book "My Boyfriend is an Idol"? It's her work. Her name is Riko." He smiled like an eager kid, who was talking about his favorite toy.

Namjoon gave a casual smile because he was not an anime enthusiast. He was simply fascinated by Taehyung's facial expressions.

"However, that is not her real name." Hoseok ruffled Taehyung's hair as he chuckled. "Don't worry; I'll get her autograph for you. I'll also take you if you wish to meet. She'll be staying in Seoul from now onwards."

"For my best friend, as well. He, too, is a huge fan of hers. I'll also bring him." Taehyung flashed his boxy grin and the other two laughed at the younger's innocence. They were perplexed as to how such an innocent young man could suffer so much in his life. He was not deserving of any of the hardships.
