CHAPTER 23 : Seize the Moment

You're always in my mind like a song.

ANOTHER TRIP, here is. Rhaine suggested it again. Overflowing excitement drags them out of being tired. Their eyes was fed by beautiful sceneries each day that they couldn't ask for more. They were now going up to a hill like road, the mirrors and windows fogging up as the temperature slowly drops. They can only see the trees rooted in soil and the asphalt road, and hear the engine growling as Midnight accelerates. Midnight usually drives fast but it's different as of now, full of safety and slowly, but still fast. Midnight isn't Midnight if he's not a reckless yet safe driver.

"Where to now Rhaine?" Jimin asked, he was beside her, little Jiyoon on his lap, sleeping.

"We're going to Baguio" She simply said. There's nothing much to explain about it anymore as she already provided visuals last night, besides the boys want to see a place by themselves rather than explaining about it word by word.

"Rhaine, why didn't you sat beside Midnight?" Yoongi with an irritated face asked out of nowhere. Basically, they were on the third row of the car, she's sitted on the middle of Jimin and Yoongi. Hoseok, Jin, Taehyung and Jungkook was squeezed in front of them.

"Namjoon and Midnight goes along pretty well, and Namjoon is the only one who can stabd Midnight's history lesson." She stated the fact. "It'll be over soon, don't worry Jimin will be yours a little later. Such a big jelly ace" She chuckled on her last sentence. Yoongi's face contorted right before he looked away, making her choke in a laughter, gaining Midnight's concern. Everything went chaotic after that as the other boys started teasing Yoongi, who was now blushing really hard. hiding his face on his sleeping son.

Ah, since when it has been like this? It's been a long time. A very long time since I met wonderful people and spend each day with a genuine smile. To be tired because of doing fine instead of being tired because of the toxic work. I'm not a social butterfly, I scare people away but that doesn't mean I don't want a companion once in a while. I was very happy when Namjoon called, saying they're going on a trip and wants me to tour them here in the country. I can't even contain myself that day, resulting to this, a longer list of destinations.

I'm glad that they're enjoying this, I'm glad I've got to meet new people. I'm glad that this psst few days, all I can see is the pristine beaches, the evergreen trees, and the smile of my comrades, especially Midnight. He's my top priority to be honest, the others comes second in this trip. It's been a while since he goofed around, been a while since he tells the history and babbles about everything that is going on his mind.

He's been so silent when we lost his brother on a mission. He's so aloof with every people he sees in the headquarters, including me. Seeing him smile and be the best these days makes my heart so warm, like a small fire was being breathed onto it. He's a scenery I tell you. With his auburn locks that softly flows like the calm waves of the ocean, his eyes aquamarine like the lake that twinkles like a thousand stars in the night sky. His proud nose and his heart like carved thin lips, that stretched into the most beautiful smile. His sharp jaw that makes him so manly. He's a lot more different as his body was now a little bit more buff than the past year.

Yes, I'm in love with my best friend. But I'm afraid. I'm so afraid. Too afraid of the possibility to drag him down to a hard situation I'm in. I can't commit my life to a person when I can barely even protect myself. No, I won't do that. If it'll keep his smiles the brightest then I'll be his forever friend, or sister, I'll rather stick to that.

"Hey Rhaine?" I came to a view, the best view, Midnight's smiling face. "Come on, they're already there" He lend his hand to guide me out of the car while picking up a few essential things. He shines like a ray of sunshine. This, this is something I don't want to lose. Maybe in another life, if the deities allows me to have a more peaceful life rather than this, I pray to meet him again and finally have the chance to confess my soaring feelings. To say to him that I'll love him and adore him for the rest of my life. In another life, I'll call him mine and let him stay by my side.

I nodded and followed his lead, leaving those thoughts away for now and focus on the fun. They were already holding their big baskets, one fourth full of big, red and mouth watering strawberries from the farm. Though she already know that strawberry picking is so common in their country too but she just wants to let this activity go. It's like hitting two birds in one stone, having fun and having snacks later when they go to the park.

She's really looking forward to ride the boat in the lagoon, sight seeing while popping strawberries in their mouth. They're going to the beach as their final trip in a few weeks and a lot more calmer activity is needed to conserve their energy. She wants to go into a few more provinces, to do a lot more and to explore but their time is limited, besides she accidentally overheard Namjoon last night. She heard that a lot of conflicts has been happening, that sounds bad but she's really amazed by how calm Namjoon's composure is. She hopes she can be like that in the near future too, especially on her missions. She's gonna die because of her clumsiness if she let this go on and not improve.

"What were you thinking earlier?" Her body stiffened as she heard Midnight's voice just behind her. To be honest she still is, that explains why she didn't noticed him approaching. "You're still deep in thought am I right? I couldn't even sneak on you"

"A-ah, this is n-nothing really" Rhaine chuckled nervously, trembling as she stumbles on her words, being so careful not to mess up and mix her thought into her reply to Midnight.

"You're expecting me to buy that?" She's sometimes adored with Midnight, throwing out questions randomly because she doesn't need to awkwardly start one. Midnight is known to be the leader of the class, in a nice or terrible way. Their instructor in highschool didn't even bluffed when he said he's gonna give an award to Midnight entitled 'Most Talkative'. He really did received such a thing on the graduation day, and he's proud of it. It was hanged on his room. Today, she really wanna curse why Midnight is like this.

"Just the mission, I just received an email from big boss, so it's nothing really" She lied, halfly because she really did received one and it was scheduled next month.

"You never worried about a mission, where is it anyway?" The man beside her picked strawberries while talking, almost robbing all of the fruits in one plant, even the green ones are on his basket, leading Rhaine to tap lightly on his hand and hiss at him.

"You don't do that you jerk! At least let the small ones grow!" She stared at the guy with daggers. "Tsk, they're gonna be picked anyway" She just huffed, this guy is so stubborn.

"In Spain, that's where my mission"

"So far, whose gonna accompany you? I believe we're not going as a team, I didn't received any email." Midnight said, he rosed from his sitting position as his legs are now dumb and uncomfortably tingling.

"Ah, yeah. Shira is going with me, and Neko for your position."

"Just a small unit, I see. Good luck then" He smiled brightly, if possible she can just squint her eyes due to the brightness he's radiating. "Those people is strong like you, don't worry about it" Then he left, leaving a big confidence inside her heart and the familiat butterfly and mini heart attack.

THEY WERE NOW riding the boat and was now in the middle of the lagoon. Namjoon and Seokjin volunteered to paddle the boat, now clutching their shoulders as they stopped at the middle. The sun hasn't fully set. The skies are picturesque as the light and darkness fought on the clouds. Little rays of orange hue from the sun twirls up in the sky, making those clouds looks so fluffy like a marshmallow. Jimin and Jungkook automatically brings out their cameras to take a shot on the magestic art above them, then later offering their comrades a silhoutte picture with the beautiful dusk. It came out so beautiful but Jimin's and Yoongi's was the perfect as it was taken with the twins. Their first picture together, not just a selfie. It was all treasure.

Taehyung and Jungkook took their turn on paddling the boat, it getting a little bit late and they were the few ones that was left in the middle of the lagoon. Besides, they're stomachs are now snarling at them, asking for food. Some of them is having an upset stomach due to the eating too much strawberries.

"Come on, let's go back to the hotel. Let's dine there so we could use our pass to the buffet" Midnight said then pressed the remote of the van. One by one they piled up inside and off they go to the hotel. Another day full of new adventures has been completed once again.

"Quit fidgeting young one!" Yoongi gruntled as he can't wipe his son's face that is covered with tons of chocolate, more than half of his face turned into a chocolate mess. Yoongi's lucky that Yoonjae is fastened on a high chair or he'll be running around in circles just to catch the naughty kiddo. "This is making me so tired" Yoongi panted and whined, now successfully retrieved the glass from Yoonjae before something bad happens and to keep him from messing up his shirt even more.

He can only just stare at the pile of dirtied wet wipes by his side. Still not full since he can't eat continuously, having to feed Yoonjae and attend to his very energetic eldest. It was a complete mess, he went at least six times on the counter just to get another spoon because Yoonjae was throwing them. His eldest is having his tantrums tonight and it was more than handful. The twins are geniuses but they're still babies, it's understandable if they'll behave like this.

He sighed when Yoonjae finally settled down, turning his head towards Jimin, he saw that his partner was happily feeding Jiyoon. His youngest is so behave that he can't help but to feel envious. Maybe this is what those dumbasses, Jungkook and Taehyung is saying. That the twins are inseperable. Yoonjae behaved like this when Jiyoon was taken by Jimin earlier. He could only sigh in pain but a happiness squeezed his heart because it was more than good to hear. They can only rely on each other on the near future. Jimin and him won't be by their sides for a long time, and he's so damn happy that these two cares for each other at a very young age.

"Uh oh..." He heard Taehyung mumbled. He was about to look at Taehyung but his eyes landed first at the puddle of water under Yoonjae's chair. Horror was shown in his face as it finally sinked in. It wasn't water, it's pee. Yoonjae just peed.

"My child? Just why?" He whined as he looked at Yoonjae. He was tired and he didn't even had a decent fill from their dinner. Yoongi asked Jimin for a tissue and a plastic bag before crouching on the floor, wiping his son's mess. "Come on little one, let's get to our room" Yoongi sighed defeatedly, shaking his head a lot of times as Yoonjae just giggled at him. "So cute my baby, come here!" One smile from the toddler made his tiredness disappear. He pinched those chubby cheeks first before carrying Yoonjae on his right arm like a bag and went to their room.

"Yoongi is so natural, why are you doing this anyway?" Jungkook commented, watching Yoongi's and Yoonjae slowly disappear from his sight.

"It was his choice not mine" Jimin said before feeding Jiyoon again. They came to an agreement to leave Yoongi babysitting Yoonjae alone. No help from Jimin or anyone from them. Jimin didn't gave the details but Yoongi seemed to be enthusiastic even though tiredness was plastered on his face. This has been going on for a week already and it will continue as long as they're in this vacation. Yoongi even exerts more effort, shooing them away that day insisting to leave the twins under his care for solid twenty- four hours. After that exhausting day, Yoongi dropped like a dead weight in Jimin's lap and went to sleep.

It's very obvious that Yoongi has a desire to make it up for the two. To show that he can be the best father to his kids. To show them that he's constantly learning and to prove himself, even if Jimin and him don't tell them. Taehyung and Jungkook was glad, so glad to see their Yoongi-hyung show this competitive side. It's very cute to watch, how he hisses and growls like a roaring king of the jungle whenever the two dumbasses takes the twin. How his face turns sour when the twins run towards those two.

Yoongi is so different from what they've known about him years ago, he proved himself enough. Hope this phase of him end very soon, they miss taking the twins out of their parents' care, put them into sleep and spoil them.

"I miss the twins! Yoongi-hyung just snatches them away, especially Yoonjae! It's irritating as hell!" Jungkook whined.

"Leave Yoongi-hyung be, he's still not done with this phase" Taehyung retaliated. His eyebrows instantly furrowed when he didn't felt his phone from where the spot he remembered putting it. His heart suddenly dropped, he can't lose such valuable thing since Dahyun and his patients are calling him sometimes. "The fuck?" He rosed from his seat, sweating like bullets when he didn't saw it under the table nor felt in insode his pockets.

"Why? What happened Taehyung?" Rhaine adked as she noticed how the young man was now frantic. "My phone!" The man exclaimed.

"Isn't it your phone?" Midnight pointed to Jungkook. Taehyung's face contorted in confusion. Then he leaned down to look at the phone case and confirmed it was really his. "YOU BRAT! You fucking scared me for no reason!" Taehyung snatched his phone away from Jungkook and marched to their shared room. Completely pissed towards the younger, giving him no time to explain or mutter an apology.

"Jungkook..." Jimin stared at the younger. He can't comfort the younger because from the beginning, Jungkook is at fault but he couldn't help it as the younger's eyes are now teary, trembling in shock.

"I know hyung, lemme just calm down for a bit. I'll talk to him later" The younger forced a smile but the traitor tears just flowed without his permission. Eventually he left to, having a hard time swallowing his food and to keep his vulnerable state in privacy. The table went silent after that, no one dared to speak, afraid of the awkwardness that has been made. And that eventful dinner came to an end after sometime, each of them going to their respective rooms to rest and to pack once again. Their trip is slowly coming to an end.

"Hey" Jimin greeted Yoongi as he walks past through him. He exhaled through his nose, Jiyoon was already a dead weight on his shoulders, he made his way to the shower room first to dampen a clean towel to clean his youngest before putting her to the bed. He was doing it all single handedly as he doesn't want to kove Jiyoon yet for he knows that the child's sleep is still shallow that small movements can wake her up again.

"Though you'll come up here a little bit later, what happened?" The other one asked him yet his eyes are glued to the phone his son plays at. They made an agreement earlier that Yoongi will let him borrow his phone if it'll make him quiet for thirty minutes then sleep. Yoonjae was so good at games that his father lost the track of time just watching his son play a game he's bad at.

"Yoonjae you go to sleep honey" Jimin said in a calm yet authoritative voice. The kid then turned off the phone and gave it to Yoongi before kissing his Papa and made grabby hands to Jimin to kiss him then running to where Jiyoon's at. Just a few moments after he closed his eyes, Yoonjae was already on his dreamland where he found tons of fictional characters, sleeping soundly in a very fantastic dream.

"You forgot again to not spoil the twins especially on gadgets" The younger snarled, eyes throwing daggers at Yoongi who was nervously smiling, slowly raising his both hands like he was surrendering to a law enforcer.

"Sorry baby, I just can't stand those puppy dog eyes my son gave to me." He reasoned out, hopeful that Jimin will let it slide. As Jimin's face lighten up, he must've been agreed to Yoongi's reasoning after all, Yoongi's erratic heart came to peace. Heaving out a sigh of relief. "So what happened?"

The bed beside Yoongi dipped with Jimin's weight as the younger sat beside the older. Heaving a deep breath he told Yoongi what happened. Yoongi just listened to the younger's story, nodding when he feels that he needed to, he caught on Jimin's sleepy eyes and lulling head so without further a do, he grabbed the younger's nape and guided his head onto his own shoulders. His body leaning more into Yoongi's body warmth giving him comfort he badly needed.

"Sleep, we can talk about it tomorrow hmm? I'm sure those to can solve their own problem" Yoongi murmured against Jimin's newly dyed silver hair. The smell of the bleach is still their but it was overpowered by Jimin's natural scent, making Yoongi burrow his face even more against those locks.

"You rest too hun, aren't you tired chasing Yoonjae almost the whole day?" His voice came muffled as his lips were attached onto Yoongi's neck as he spoke.

"I am but let me take care of you. The twins barely lends me some time to take care of my baby so sleep my darling hmm?" That's the last thing Yoongi said before earning a small nod from Jimin, now the younger put all of his weight on Yoongi, making the elder his personal pillow and Yoongi on the other hand has no complaints. Some time later, when Jimin's breaths came out even, Yoongi scooped him up and tucked him. Jimin whined a little when Yoongi detached from him, earning a soft little chuckle from the elder.

He left him squirm in their bed for some time sincr he still needs to check on the twins first. After that, he also joined Jimin as he too cannot resist his eyes that is slowly giving up in him. The younger pressed himself against Yoongi like a koala, he must've been felt that Yoongi was already beside him. "So cute my love" He pinched those marshmallows like cheeks then opening his arms to embrace Jimin, pressing a kiss on the other's forehead as their shared warmth pulled him into a deep comfortable sleep.

Meanwhile on Jungkook's and Taehyung's shared room.

"Taehyungie-hyung?" Scared, of course he is. He can feel the trembling of his knees and how the tip of his fingers run cold. His body is producing a thin film of cold sweat as he carefully peeps into their shared room. Still coaching himself, he took a deep breath before stepping inside, getting a clear view of the older, finding him facung away from him, a small light that he believes coming from the other's phone is a sign that Taehyung is still awake.

"Hyung" He said once again. A lump was forming in his throat and his stomach twisting and turning. At this moment. he can suffer from a sudden heart attack due to how much his heart is erratically beating, sending the needed air and blood all throughout his body, but that wasn't the only reason he can conclude. His heart is squeezing too much, of fear and of Taehyung being turned off. He was just starting to court the elder, what if he declines it. Sure his heart can't take it.

"Whatever you wanna say, say it now. I need to check up on my emails" Taehyung's voice is a lot more different, shocking him in so many ways. He practiced a lot of right words to say, a thousand words without reasoning out as he was the one whose at mistake but he can only manage a small "I'm sorry hyung"

His heart dropped even more, his eyes sting as it produced tears so fast. It felt like he can feel something on his throat, he couldn't breathe when Taehyung replied with a short, "Kay..."

He tasted the metallic taste of blood suddenly, never felt that he was biting his bottom lip so hard to keep himself from emitting a small sob, but his traitor body still did. From that small sob came out edible ones that can be heard by a person one to two meters away from hin. Tears raced down his cheeks, he's afraid that if he'll speak it will be just reasoning himself out so he kept silent, just let those fat tears cascade down. He pities himself, from what happened right now and his wild mind that can't stop overthinking things. He then slapped his right on his lips to muffle and not to embarrass himself even more, he jogged as fast as he can to the comfort room and locked himself.

Was I too hard on him? Taehyung thought to himself. "How dumb and insensitive" He said to himself as he zipped up his jacket. It was all an act, see what would be Jungkook's reaction but he was too insensitive and dumb to forgot that he's pulling such an act to a very sensitive person. Jungkook is his soft cry baby, he adore that attitude and treasures it. Dumbass.

He slapped his head once or twice before following the younger on the bathroom. It broke his heart to hear those painful sobs, to know that he was the reason why Jungkook is crying. Dumb dumb dumb. His heart squeezed even more when he heart Jungkook catching his breath while crying, repeating those words such as 'Sorry' 'Hyung' and 'Never gonna do it again'. He was okay earlier, it wasn't that serious too, he was just tired and never gave Jungkook a chance to speak so it was his fault mostly.

"Jungkook-ah" He knocked, wincing when Jungkook cried even more. "Jungkook, it's fine, hyung forgives you already. Come out now Jungkookie"

"H-hyung" Jungkook cried even more. He sounded like a mess, like a child throwing out a tantrum. "Kook open the door hmm? Come on hyung forgives you already" He reassured once again.

"N-no" The other said between sobs, he can clearly see on the back of his head how much Jungkook shooks his head no. Such a child.

"Hyung will be more angry if you'll not open this door" He changed the tone of his voice a little bit, seeing if he can convince Jungkook through scaring him a bit but instantly failing when he heard a faint 'No'.

"Now is the time to bring out my ace card I guess" He talked to himself then smiled. It was so eerie. "Kook, if you will not open this door in the count of three I'll answer your question to me as a big NO!"

"W-what question?" This kid really...

"Your question if I can be your boyfriend!" He hissed. "Now, One!"

Still nothing.

"Two!"

I'm dead serious here kid. I'm testing you and this results can force my answer to do a u-turn, don't make me do it.

"Th-" Still not done with the last count, the door slammed open and and so was Taehyung's lips when Jungkook lips pressed against his'. Those soft thin lips against his dry one due to the air conditioner. It feels heaven as it was perfectly fitted to each other, slowly, Jungkook moved his lips and Taehyung's moved to its own accord, shocking himself and also Jungkook, but that shock was short lived. Jungkook held Taehyung's nape and guided the elder's head closer to his' leaving no space.

It tastes like the most exquisite wine in the world. That nothing could be compared to the kiss they were sharing. He couldn't control himself, Jungkook's wet tounge knocked to Taehyung's lips for permission to enter which the elder gladly offered. Now exploring the hot wet cavern, it did things to his mind, sub conciously pressing Taehyung on a wall that's close to them. The kiss lasted for a while, they're humans and they needed to breathe, Taehyung was the first to pull away, giving Jungkook a nice view of his swollen lips, making him remember of their moment that ended just a few seconds ago.

"So hyung, will you please give me answers? I opened the door didn't I?" He cockily smiled, like he won to a lottery and was now bragging it to his neighborhood.

"Tss, seems like you hesitated earlier" Taehyung retorted. He fixed himself, running his tounge to his lips to wet it when he doesn't really need to.

"I was preparing to surprise you with a peck, my mind is that advance but seems lile you surprised me even more with that searing hot kiss" This dumbass.

"It's a yes" He murmured, still shy.

"Come again?"

"I SAID. IT. IS. A. MOTHERFUCKING. YES! YES! YES!" He blurted.

"It's official! No turning back hyung okay? You're mine now! You're mine! Mine and mine alone!" Jungkook said jumping up and down. It was the best scene to watch.

"Brat who said I am turning back." He chuckled. "And of course, I'm yours as you are mine too"

Jungkook engulfed him witha big hug, later he felt a liquid drop against his shoulder. "Body, mind, soul I'm yours hyung. I love you, I love you so much. Thank you, thank you so much for giving me a chance. I love you so much"

He embraced him too, resting his forehead against his Koo then said, "I love you too Koo Koo"
