AUTHOR'S POV

"Yugyeom, everything's good right?" Hoseok worried voice echoed throughout the pit. "All set bro" Yugyeom assured him, wiping the grease stains on his hands.

"My mood is ruined due to that asshole" Hoseok muttered, taking a seat beside Yugyeom. "Who? Mingyu?" Yugyeom piqued. Hoseok nodded, a scowl on his face.

Mingyu was not going to get away today

"Hi Chaeyoung" Hoseok waved, his cheery smile instantly bringing a sweet smile on Chaeyoung's face. "Hey" Greeting him back, Chaeyoung took a seat beside him, before pointing towards someone. "Jimin"

A small gasp left Hoseok's lips as he turned towards where Chaeyoung was pointing to. Park Jimin was walking towards him, hands in the pocket, a sunglass perching on his nose.

"Ji-Jimin" Hoseok stuttered, unable to believe what he was seeing, real or not. This caught others' attention, as all of them stopped midway on their work. With a sweet smile on his face, Jimin pulled Hoseok into a hug.

"Jimin" Yugyeom mumbled, before joining the hug, which then turned into a group hug as all the other members joined in. "Where were you all this time?" Hoseok asked, breaking the hug.

Jimin glanced at Chaeyoung, who nodded at him before giving him a small smile. "Married life is busy" Jimin stated simply. Hoseok didn't miss the little exchange between Jimin and Chaeyoung, and it didn't take longer for him to understand.

"No way!" He exclaimed. "Are you guys married?" Chaeyoung nodded, hiding her now blushing face on Jimin's chest. Soon the pit was filled with cheers and applause for the couple.

"Where's Taehyung?" Jimin asked, intertwining his hands with Chaeyoung's. "He's over there" Yugyeom said, gesturing to a small tent.

"Tae!" Jungkook beamed, spotting Taehyung inside the tent, Jimin and Chaeyoung following him. "Let us go to the stands" Jimin stated. "Let him relax"

"All the best hyung" Jungkook snickered, as he tugged on Chaeyoung's hand. "Good luck oppa" She teased him, before giving Jimin a peck on the lips, and an excited Jungkook literally pulled her outside with him.

As Jungkook and Chaeyoung left, Jimin turned to face Taehyung, who seemed devoid of any emotion. Jimin raised his hand up, a high five, which Taehyung returned.

Turning on his heels, Jimin walked back to the stands, leaving Taehyung to change into tracksuit. A small smile played on his lips as he watched Taehyung's figure.

All the best Jeon Taehyung

︎☮︎

Fastening the zipper on his tracksuit jacket, Taehyung let out a shaky breath. Picking up the helmet from Hoseok's hand, he gave a light smile to all of his friends.

After taking a deep breath, Taehyung took small steps to the starting line. He could hear the loud cheers of the audience, giving him goosebumps. The weak smile on his lips dropped as he realized that there was no Kim Jennie there to see the race, to see him.

Even the nasty look Kim Mingyu had thrown his way was no match with the person who was currently occupying Taehyung's mind.

Taehyung gripped on the accelerator tightly, as the staff waved the flag, indicating the beginning of the race. He took off, along with other riders.

Mingyu was already in lead, with Taehyung and others following behind. Smirking, Mingyu internally rejoiced, congratulating himself for performing better than Taehyung.

Was Jennie going to leave for real? Won't she come back here anymore? Was she going to stay in New Zealand permanently? Would she leave Korea this easily? Would she miss him? Would she wanted to stay here? With him?

Would she stay in Korea, with him, if he asked to? Does she love him enough for that?

Does she love him?

Thousands of questions were swirling in his mind, that he missed a bump, causing him to fall from the bike. Chaeyoung, Jungkook and Jimin, three of them were instantly on their feet, ready to run to Taehyung and Mingyu smirked, racing to the finishing line.

Taehyung could hear all the cheers from the audience,  the faint scoldings from his coach Jin hyung, encouraging words from Hoseok and his other friends.

But he himself was under the spell of Kim Jennie. Taehyung wanted to see her, to stop her from leaving Korea, leaving him, and confess his love for her. Despite the pain on his left leg, Taehyung forced himself to get up from the ground, mounting on the bike, getting back on the track.

He was not going to regret anything anymore. Taehyung increased the speed, moving very fastly, completing the laps within minutes, catching up with Mingyu, who was on his final lap.

Glancing at Mingyu, Taehyung could see the slight fear in his eyes, as both of them got closer to the finishing line. With a sudden confidence, Taehyung easily overtook Mingyu, literally soaring through the air.

He won!

☮︎

The crowd ran to the racing track, cheering and congratulating the winner - Jeon Taehyung. But the said man was not even had a smile on his face. Jimin, Jungkook and Chaeyoung were also in the crowd, but they noticed the unusual behavior of their dear cousin.

"Tae, that was a race man" Hoseok congratulated, but silence replied to him. "What is it Tae?" Chaeyoung's worried voice was heard among the loud crowd. "I want to see Jennie" Taehyung mumbled, his eyes slightly watering.

"Jennie..." She trailed off, her eyes finding Jimin's. "Come" Jimin stated, before walking away from the crowd, to his car, three cousins following him.

"Chaeng, is he going to drive?" Jungkook asked, seeing Jimin all buckled up in the driver's seat. Jungkook clearly remembered the last time Jimin had driven the car. It was painfully slow. Chaeyoung just shushed him in response.

"Should I drive hyung?" Jungkook politely asked Jimin. "Fasten your seatbelts" Jimin smirked, before stepping on the gas. Jungkook was utterly bewildered seeing Jimin drive like a maniac. Even Chaeyoung was slightly frightened by his driving. But gladly they reached Jennie's house faster than they could've been.

Jennie was about to enter into the car, when they came. Taehyung literally ran to her, engulfing Jennie into his arms, holding her tightly as if she would disappear if he would let go.

"Don't go" Taehyung mumbled, cupping Jennie's cheeks. "Not going" She assured, squeezing his trembling hands.

"Marry me" Taehyung confessed, his teary eyes staring right at her dark brown orbs, exchanging all his emotions and unsaid words in those gaze. Even the others watching the couple could feel the immense feelings clouded around them.

Jennie's breath hitched the moment she heard his words, but his breath hitched when she placed a soft kiss on his lips. Everyone broke into a sweet smile except Jennie's mom.

"You're Jennie's mom right?" Jimin asked, sensing her hesitation. "Yes" Mrs. Kim replied, her eyes still on the couple. "I'm Park Jimin" Jimin introduced himself. "We're Taehyung's family"

Circling his arms around Chaeyoung's waist, Jimin introduced her. "This is my wife, Park Chaeyoung, Taehyung's cousin" Chaeyoung bowed politely, giving her a handshake. "Nice to meet you, I'm Jeon Jungkook" Jungkook greeted her. "Taehyung's cousin"

"Holy shit!" Yugyeom exclaimed, the first thing that greeted him was Taehyung kissing someone. Hoseok smacked Yugyeom's back, shushing him, before turning to face Mrs. Kim.

"We all are Taehyung's friends"

"Why are you suddenly all shy?" Jungkook asked Lisa, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. "I love you" Lisa stated, her intense stare making Jungkook the shy one.

It was their first night together after the marriage and he was the last one to get married among the cousins. Taehyung and Jennie got married one week after the race  and everything was okay between Chaeyoung and Jimin. "I lo-"

"Tae, don't talk" Jungkook heard a familiar voice. "Yeah, don't" He frowned upon hearing Jimin's voice, followed by Taehyung's.

"You're a simp for Chaeng, Jimin"

"Look who's talking, Jennie's simp!"

Sharing a confused look with Lisa, Jungkook walked to open the door, only to be greeted by a cheeky Chaeyoung.

"Hi Kook" Chaeyoung grinned, before pushing him aside, Jimin, Taehyung and Jennie following behind. "Sorry Lisa" All of them chorused before taking a seat on the mattress.

"Why are you guys here?" An annoyed Jungkook asked, confused as to why they were making an appearance on his first night. Like he had crashed their first night!

"Sorry Kook" Jennie smiled awkwardly. "It's not like this is gonna be your first night.." Taehyung trailed off, emphasising the last words, earning a round of teasing smiles and a high-five from Jimin. "You fu-" Lisa placed a quick kiss on his lips, stopping  Jungkook from speaking further.

This earned some taunting looks and smiles from Jennie and Chaeyoung, where as disgusting expressions from Taehyung and Jimin. "We're here for a photo" Chaeyoung announced, before taking an old camera that the cousins cherished. It was a small gift from their grandparents when they were young.

"On the count of three" Jimin said, positioning himself around Chaeyoung, hugging her. All the six posed for the photo, with beautiful smiles, happiness adorning each of their faces.

"Ready, 3, 2, 1.."

Like that, the story which started with just three characters, ended with three more new characters.

There will always be a reason why we meet people. Either you need to change your life, or you are the one that will change theirs.

Jeon Taehyung and Kim Jennie, Park Jimin and Kim Chaeyoung, and Jeon Jungkook and Lalisa Manoban.

They met each other for a reason.

They didn't make memories all over the world. Except during those days.

Seoul days...
