Today is the first day that it snowed in South Korea.

The air is not exactly freezing to the point one would suffer from a severe hypothermia, but it's crisp enough to have the beautiful flakes of snow flutter down the sky and leave their traces behind.

Usually on days like this, Taehyung has memories of going outside to play with his father as a kid; remembering him throwing in the snow or making snow angels. Many times with Seokjin as well, but after a while the elder cousin began to dislike the snow.

For his own personal reasons.

At the moment Taehyung is in his library; specks on his face, burying his nose in a book in utter fascination. He initially got lost in telling the story out loud to Karma, who usually likes it when Taehyung reads him to sleep. Now his alter taking a nap, so Taehyung can get a peace of mind as he continues to read.

Even if deep down inside he's starting to miss Karma's silly remarks by certain scenes that would come up.

He was too deep in the world of the story that he didn't notice Jimin standing by the door of the library, watching him with curious eyes as if he's studying him. The blonde just came from going out for a walk, enjoying the nice winter air against his skin with not a strand of worry lacing his body.

Initially he was going to go to Lucas so they can continue on with their lesson. Since Jimin has been staying here, he has been spending majority of his time with Lucas, leaning how to attend certain wounds and about the human anatomy. He could say he's a certified medic now but.... That's far from the truth.

Now, seeing Taehyung sitting there, calmly, with a cute loose grey knitted sweater hanging over his body and sweatpants, he can clearly see the difference between him and Karma's fashion sense.

And hair taste.

His once hot pink hair is now black, in ruffled waves on his head. Jimin over heard him mention to Seokjin how he wants to grow it out a little more. Karma hates the idea, but whatever makes Taehyung happy he doesn't really care.

The bond they have together is something.... That Jimin finds really.... Fascinating.

A bond him and Jimin could possibly, most likely, will never have.

Jimin and Taehyung don't typically talk to each other, ever. Sometimes when they're down stairs in the dining area to have breakfast or dinner, Jimin would catch him staring at him a few times but then instantly switch to Karma to discuss a few things with them on just basically anything.

Jungkook is going to go back to work soon, so they usually discuss how things are going to go down, but Jungkook is still living here since he still has no where to go. He agreed, but said he's moving out once he finds a place to stay, in which Karma reluctantly agreed to.

Now.... Jimin wants to take the opportunity to perhaps talk to him.

He seems harmless enough.... Right?

So Jimin runs a hand through his dirty blonde hair and enters the room quietly. The other male was too engraved in his book to notice the smug boy creeping up behind him, not even when he was breathing against his neck beside his head.

"What are you reading?"

Taehyung practically flies off the chair and shoots to his feet, the book covering the lower region of his face in shock. Instantly relief flushed his face but then goes back to being completely embarrassed, "J-Jimin! You s-startled me."

Shit even me too from my sleep this little-

"I'm sorry," Jimin chuckles, stuffying his hands inside his pocket, glancing at the book, "So... What are you reading?"

Taehyung stares at him, feeling completely flustered that he couldn't even form any words to escape his lips. Staring at Jimin now only made him feel his throat clench up, barely even giving the strength to breathe or speak.

So.... Are you going to leave the man hanging or what?

Taehyung blinks to Karma's voice and clears his throat, glancing at the book, "O-Oh this... Nothing just umm.... The Catcher in the Rye."

Jimin raises his eyebrows and approaches him "Oh really? Wow I've always wanted to read it."

The taller male gulps thickly, averting his gaze from looking into his eyes to look at the ground, "I... I can let you borrow it.... If you'd like."

You are, once again, embarrassing us. SPEAK UP!

However Taehyung's shy voice made a small smile form Jimin's lips, "I would like that," He whispers, moving his head to look out the window, "Seems like the snow is falling heavy today huh?"

The fucking weather? Seriously? I'm going back to bed, this conversation is cringing my soul.

Taehyung breathes heavily to Karma blocking himself off, feeling like he's in this alone now. So he exhales nervously and looks out the window too, "Uh yea... Seems like it."

Silence, complete silence.

Oh man how badly Taehyung wanted to scream and run away right now. He even sneakily pressed his hand on his cheek to feel it completely hot against his touch.

He's blushing so bad.

This is so awkward-

"Can I ask you something?"

Taehyung meets Jimin's gaze, his cheeks firing up to a deeper blush and he nods, "Sure."

Jimin didn't say anything at first, but then turns to look at him, "So.... Have you ever.... Were you ever you... When you were with me?"

Now Taehyung wished the ground ate him alive without leaving a single trace of his existence behind.

He didn't..... He really didn't want to answer this question, but... Jimin's being nice so to him and it's the first time they've truly.... Spoken......He has to be honest, at least.

"Y-Yes," He answer quietly.

"When?"

Never mind, I'm back, this sounds good.

Seriously Karma?

Taehyung runs a hand through his hair, feeling completely nervous now, "Well.... Um.... During our.... So after..... Uhm.... So whenever you and Karma had... Sex.... I would come out afterwards.... To the soft moments. I guess that's when I started.... Noticing you, but other than that not so often..... Or when you told your story about your past since Karma's not good with sentimentality."

Jimin sinks it all in, slowly nodding while slowly licking his lips, "W-What about that one time.... When I... I topped-"

"That was me.... When I told you to call me Taehyung... That was me," Taehyung admits shyly, "Karma thought.... It was the perfect time for me to... Have my time... Haha..."

The air around them grew much more tense than earlier, and Taehyung was having a hard time figuring out where to hide his face by how much he was blushing. He's not use to being so expressive if it's not with Karma, let alone about.... Stuff like this!

This is so new to him!

"So," Jimin coughs and moves to stand in front of him, meeting his gaze, "The times we've kissed, it was always Karma?"

OH SHIT TAEHYUNG! LETS GO!!

Taehyung nervously steps back, the back of his legs meeting the bay of the window and he is forced to sit down. Jimin only stares at him intently, waiting for an answer, while leaning down to his face.

What is he doing?

What is he doing?

Karma what the fuck is he doing?

Asking a question, answer him!

Taehyung lets out a shakily breathe, "We would switch a lot.... Because of how nervous I would get."

This made Jimin's head tilt to the side, moving his eyes to look down to his lips, "Would you stay if I kissed you now?"

Who-huh-what-que-how?

Oh man I'm going to be sick...

Little one, I hear your thoughts, if you run away right now-

"I'm sorry I have to go," Taehyung shutters and practically moves around him and runs away, leaving Jimin standing there with an adoring smile on his lips to how flustered he got him.

Seeing Taehyung like this is refreshing in a way.

Jimin likes seeing.... Taehyung feel something other than angry all the time from Karma.

Meanwhile Taehyung is having a complete mental break down for being an idiot, and Karma is not helping him at all.

"Did you forget how to kiss or something?!" Karma exclaims, making Taehyung slump down against the chair in his mind space while the body goes to his room and lays down on the bed.

"I panicked-"

"Clearly!" Karma huffs, "You should've let me handle it- you know what I should have! You guys could've been in bed by now-"

Taehyung groans and gets up to look at the screen of his eyes, "I'll shoot my shot another day-"

"Taehyung, can we talk?"

Both of them snap their eyes to the screen, hearing Jimin's familiar voice this time.

"Guess that day is now," Karma snickers and pushes the man to the light, "Have fun sweetie!"

Taehyung fronts in the body and sighs heavily, hearing Karma cheering him on inside his head as he goes to the door and opens it.

Revealing Jimin.

Why is he hereeeee?

He's not helping Taehyung at all!

The other looks at him with a shy smile, "I'm sorry about earlier, I've might've overstepped my boundaries," Jimin chuckles sheepishly and glances down the hallway, "Want to go outside? The snow looks very nice on your back yard. I would go alone but.... It's my first time fully experiencing snow."

The thought of being in the snow again light up Taehyung's eyes, almost blinding Jimin's vision, as he runs to his closet to get a more thicker hoodie and rushes back to Jimin. He grabs his arm and practically drags him down the hallway.

"Let's go!!" He beams as they practically run down the stairs and to the back door, a chuckling Jimin trailing behind him.

There... In a beautiful blanket of nature, is the breathtaking sight of the snow.

Taehyung gasps to the beauty, giggling when a few flakes of snow fell on his hair and kissed his face, staring at the sky with that happiness gleaming his beautiful orbs.

Jimin couldn't help but just stare at him rather than the snow. Seeing Taehyung full express himself, happily, has to be by far the most beautiful thing he has seen from a human being in a long time.

Subconsciously he rubs the ring on his finger, letting it fuel him with ease and a warmth in his chest.

Life can be beautiful. One just has to see it from a different perspective in order to see the beauty for sure.

"What are you guys- FUCK IT'S COLD!"

The two turn their heads to see Lucas and Seokjin peeking through the door behind them, glancing at the snow before their eyes.

Seokjin instantly scowls, "I swear the snow gives me depression."

Taehyung pouts and grabs his arm "But we use to always play all the time as kids! Let's go," And Seokjin is suddenly dragged to the snow, groaning the whole way but not fighting the happy boy back.

Jimin watches with glittering eyes to the way Seokjin and Taehyung instantly throws snow balls at each other or just fling each other to the ground, it made his heart feel warmth.

Who know two mafia royals would enjoy each other's company in the snow, like little kids.

It's a sight for sore eyes for sure.

"I've never played in the snow," Jimin whispers, making Lucas peer an eye to him, "They never use to let me."

Since all of Jimin's life was surrounded on pleasing his clients, he never got to experience what the other kids did; Playing at the play ground, buy ice cream..... Play in the snow.

That was a fantasy in his head, forcing himself to not think about it agai-

Fuck!

Jimin is suddenly flung into the air, hauled over to Lucas's shoulder as the taller male moves further into the backyard.

"LUCAS! PUT ME DOWN!" Jimin squeals from the way the ground seems to be so far away from him, "You have a nice ass by the way."

Suddenly Jimin's back is met by a pile of snow, practically being buried with Lucas's loud laughter in the background. Despite risking hypothermia right now, Jimin finds himself laughing as well as he poorly gets himself up from the pile with his wobbling legs.

Just in time to see Jungkook being thrown into another snow pile by Lucas.

Guess Jungkook heard the loud commotion and came out. Oh what a mistake that was.

Meanwhile Taehyung was having a hard time calming Karma down in his head, who's going through a complete break down.

He looks so hot in a turtle neck! I'm going to pass out.

"Do you want to switch?" Taehyung asks mentally as Jungkook also crawls out of the pile he was fling into with a wide bunny smile.

Let's take turns.

"Alright," Taehyung snickers and grabs the ball of snow, "After you, start the war."

And so that's how the snow war began.

The five individuals threw snow at each other as if their lives depended on it, filling the air with their laughter and the snow still falling down from the sky as it captures their joy.

For once.... Everything felt weightless.

No troubles or stress clouded anyone's mind.

Karma and Taehyung we're both having fun as they experienced this moment of utter bliss after the years of running a mafia, now being able to feel free.

Jimin and Jungkook now feel more accepting towards their past and to their lives. Dark clouds do exist, but also the snow. And they most definitely enjoy playing in the snow.

As for Seokjin and Lucas, despite their hidden relationship, feel like things are turning out for them. Their most precious treasure, Taehyung and Karma, is happy. That alone makes them very happy.

At one point during this battle, everyone began to aim the snow at Taehyung, who shields himself with his arms and his squealing laughter before he's suddenly tackled to the ground.

Jungkook being his shield.

The rest goes back to bombarding themselves with snow while the pair on the ground laugh at each other, letting it slowly dwindle down as Jungkook stares into his eyes.

"It's nice seeing you two happy," He whispers, guiding a snow flake away from his cheek.

Almost instantly Taehyung's eyes flutters and it shifts to a more mischievious stare, "Feeling soft now Jeon?"

Jungkook rolls his eyes and was about to get off, "I swear I can never-"

Karma's large hand suddenly clasp the back of his neck, yanking him down and presses their lips together.

For a moment Jungkook froze in shock. He wasn't even given enough time to process what's going on because Karma instantly pulls away and pinches his cheek, "Consider that as me taking your compliment," And he slides away from him, going back to grabbing an arm pile of snow and flinging it to Seokjin's body.

Leaving Jungkook with the urge to bury his whole head into the snow to cool down his blushing cheeks.
