Jin and Kook were walking alongside the road. A mild breeze was blowing. The road was not much crowded.

"Hey, Jinie, do you want some ice cream?" Kook stopped in front of an ice cream shop and asked.

"No, Kookie, not now. We can't grab ice cream before singing. Our voices may crack. We can have some our way back home." Jin said smiling.

"That's right. Then we can have some snacks, right?"

"Yes, we can. Let's have some. And we can buy some extra for Yoongi and aunty." Jin was looking for any fast-food counter. "There it is. Let's go." He took Kook's arm and run towards the counter. They brought some snacks and reached Yoongi's house.

"Yoongi, your friends are here!" Mrs. Min said opening the door. "Welcome kids."

"Hello aunty, how are you?" Jin and Kook asked.

"I'm fine. Now go to Yoongi's studio. He's waiting for you. I'll bring you something to grab." She smiled nicely.

"Aunty, we have brought this for you." Jin handed her the snacks they got and went upstairs.

"Yoongichi, we're here. Open the door!" Jin yelled excitedly.

"Why is Jin shouting like that? He must be so excited." Yoongi thought and opened the door.

"Yah! What took you so long? We're standing here like fools." Jin smacked Yoongi's arm.

"Come inside. Don't shout at me. Why are you guys late?" Yoongi was annoyed.

"Me and Kookie were eating some snacks on the street. We were talking and walking slowly, that's why we're late." Jin answered.

"Yes, we had a great time, right Jinie?" Kook said happily.

"Yes, Kookie!" Jin said.

"Were they on a shot date?! I was waiting for them and they were enjoying their time? Is that more important than our song, than me?" Yoongi felt angry and disappointed.

"Yoongi, what are you thinking?" Kook asked curiously.

"Nothing, let's start our work."

They started discussing and practicing. Yoongi was impressed by Kook's powerful vocals and of Couse, Jin's soulful vocals. After that, they had some snacks and tea and chatted on random topics. Kook observed Yoongi from time to time, who was stealing glances from Jin quite often with an unnamed look on his face that Kook could not understand.

Time flew. It was the time for Jin and Kook's return.

"We're heading back home, Yoongichi! See you tomorrow." Jin hugged him. Surprisingly Kook hugged Yoongi too. "Bye Yoongi," Kook said. He took Jin's hand and walked to the front door. Yoongi just watched them go with a bitter expression. Kook looked back at Yoongi and gave a smile but that smile didn't grant Yoongi something. He just smiled back.

"Now, we can have some ice cream, right?" Kook asked Jin.

"Of course! What flavor do you want, Kookie? It's my treat!" Jin gave him a big smile.

"No, it's my treat, and that's final. I'll have Mint-Choco. And you?"

"I hate Mint-Choco! I'll have some Choco flavored."

"Wow, I didn't know that someone can hate Mint-Choco. I'm surprised. Okay, then I'll have the same." Kook giggled and Jin found it cute.

"You can't understand someone that fast, Kookie. You have to be with them for a long time."

"I know Jinie, I'm trying."

"Trying what? Trying to know those people who hate Mint-Choco? Ha Ha, I'm kidding!" Jin laughed.

"That's a bad joke, Jinie. And I'm trying to know you better." Kook said with a serious expression. "Not only about you, I want to know Yoongi too and why he's that interested in you." He thought.

"I know. I just wanted to make you smile. Sorry!" Jin thought Kook was angry for his joke.

"Ah, Jinie, don't say sorry. I apricate your effort, but you don't have to try anything; your smile is enough." Kook said softly.

"Now, you're making me blush. Hurry up. I have to return home too."

"Yeah, let's go!"

They brought ice-creams and walked happily towards their home.

Jin pressed the doorbell and Mr. Jung opened the door.

"I'm a home uncle. Where is dad?" Jin asked. Kook was waiting beside him.

"Come, boys!" Mr. Jung said. "Hey, honey, Ji-Hoonah, boys are back." He shouted.

"Hobi's father is totally opposite of him." Kook thought and got a seat on the couch.

"You're back, Jinie!" Jin's dad came.

"Sorry for being late, sir." Kook bowed.

"Ah, Jungkook, call me uncle. And it's not that late. Thank you for taking care of my boy."

"Yah, dad, I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself. Don't treat me like a child!" Jin pouted.

"You'll always be our kid, Jinie!" Said Mr. Jung.

"No, uncle. We're friends. Please don't thank me. He's my responsibility too." Kook said politely to Mr. Min.

"Aish, such a nice young man! Not like our Hobi. He is a brat! And our Jinie is still a kid!" Exclaimed Mrs. Jung. Mr. Jung nodded. They laughed and Mr. Min joined them.

"They're horrible! Ignore them, Kookie." Jin was angry. (Jin never gets angry, he gets angrwy!)

"But I like them," Kook said.

"We like you too." Jin's parents said. It was such a warm and happy environment in the living room. It warmed Kook's heart. After some time, he went back to his home.

# At the Cafe

Hobi, Jimin, and Joon were talking on random topics. They were becoming close day by day because of their secret mission.

"Don't tell me that you sensed that too! The tension among Yoongi, Kook, and Jin!" Joon asked Jimin and Hobi with amazing faces.

"Now I know why they call you, Big Brain." Jimin laughed.

"What so funny?" Joon was annoyed by their teasing.

Jimin was about to say something but he was stopped by a phone ring. It was Joon's phone. He received the call and talked for two or three minutes. The other two were waiting.

"Guys, I have got some information about Yoongi!" Joon said excitedly.

"Split it, Joon," said Hobi.

"My friend has found out about Yoongi's father. But first, let's order one more round of coffee." Joon said.

"Excuse me, sir. Get us three more coffee, please!"
