Author's POV || 2009. 10. 28 

"Hey... sorry if my house is a little- messy.." He spoke, standing outside the front door with you. You shook your head, smiling. 
"It's fine." You said as he opened the door but you both flinched hearing a scream, 
"AYO BROTHE- Oh my god- she's so pretty.." A young boy spoke as you awkwardly stood there, not knowing how to answer. Taehyung sighed and said, "He's basically the producer of the nonsense. Kim Taewoo." 
"Oh.. hey, I'm Y/N." You softly smiled at Taewoo who had a huge grin on his face.
"Hi... come in!" He said, grinning. Taehyung frowned at him and mouthed him, 'Get away.'

'No loser!' Taewoo mouthed back as their bickering continued behind you who walked around cluelessly. 
"Oh, is this your girlfriend?" Taehyung's mother upon seeing Y/N spoke making you look at them a little awkwardly. 
"Mom! It's a girl and a friend, don't join them... it looks misleading." Taehyung spoke, trying his best not to make the situation any more awkward as his mom snorted saying, "Yeah, sure."
"Hello, my name is.. Y/N." You spoke, politely bowing to her as Taehyung smiled at you. His mom smiled and replied, "Hello, dear! I knew... today or tomorrow, he was going to bring you home to reveal the news. So... I can accept you both for su-"
"Mom, they're here for my play. Can we go and rehearse now?" Taewoo spoke, making their mom look at them confused.
"Play?" She asked.

"So basically, Y/N is here to help Taewoo rehearse for the play at his school. I and Y/N will help him." Taehyung explained as his mom made an 'o' face before saying, "Okay... um, go continue, I guess." 

You 3 walked inside Taehyung's room as you looked around saying, "It's neater than I expected."
"Hey, I might look messy but my room's clean!" Taehyung protested as you chuckled. Taewoo smirked and spoke, "The fact he cleaned it himself for the first time in a year... it's always me who cleans his room because he bribes me or mom does i-"
"My dear brother, can you please...." Taehyung held his mouth as you tried not to smile. You cleared your throat as Taehyung gestured for you to sit on the bed. 

You glanced at his table to see the teddy keychain you gave him. It was kept between a few of his accessories and perfume. It did look like he took care of it well, maybe better than you did. 

"So.. let's start the play. I'll be Romeo and Y/N is Juli-" Taewoo was speaking with full excitement until Taehyung spoke, "It doesn't make sense... you look like a kid in diapers and she's 19?" 
"So what? I'll grow up someday too, shut up." Taewoo spoke as Taehyung scoffed saying, "No way. She's my friend, I brought her here." 
You just stared at them awkwardly as Taewoo spoke, "Jealous stick. Anyway, you're going to be the cruel dad anyway so shut up."
"How dare yo-" Taehyung was about to smack him but stopped seeing you stare at him confused. He patted his back instead and said, "Haha... let's start!" 

'If you get too close to her, I'll beat your a*s up.' Taehyung whispered near Taewoo's ear who smirked saying, "OKAY!" 

You smiled a little seeing them bicker like kids. 

Soon, the play started and Taewoo instructed you both on what roles you had to do. You were Juliet, Taewoo was Romeo and Taehyung was the cruel dad. Definitely not a good role for him but... who could protest? 

"I'm not sure if I can act.." You spoke, a little awkwardly. You did come here, not wanting another classmate of Taehyung entering his room and acting with him instead of you but the reckless act seemed pretty weird now, you were the one who had to act now, with your anxiety. 
"It's okay. Even if you act horrible, it won't even matter because you are so pretty." Taewoo spoke as you looked down, embarrassed. He giggled as Taehyung spoke, "Stop flirting!" 
"Okay anyway." Taewoo sighed and took out the paper saying, 

"Now when I saw the lines, just play along, okay?" You nodded at his statement.

"Juliet... I really like... umm... what's written here Taehyung?" He asked as Taehyung sighed. You just silently laughed. 
"Stop just stop. Let me try now." He said, taking the script.
"Just follow me and what I say." He spoke and walked in front of you moving Taewoo aside, his actions seemed highly intentional, as if he was waiting for the moment when he could stand in front of you but you weren't sure if you'd believe those thoughts which roamed in your head. 

"Juliet... I really like you, no.. I... I love you. You're the prettiest woman I've ever seen, the true symbol of elegance and beauty. I've never looked at someone the way I look at you... I've never cared for someone the way I've cared for you, will you... marry me?" 
He spoke, his eyes staring right into yours as you stared at him, wide-eyed. Your heart was pounding. Those were just lines but... your heart wasn't ready for those.

"Umm..." Taewoo blinked quietly and said, "I don't think Romeo and Juliet is a good idea. The lines are corny... I think I should change my play to some Alien attack or something-" Taewoo spoke but not you nor Taehyung were paying attention to him. He was staring at you, more like admiring you but came out of a trance when you looked away saying, "R-Right... Alien attack sounds better than this love story." You spoke, a little fazed. Taehyung cleared his throat and backed away as you gulped. He wasn't even looking like he faked any of those lines which made you feel even crazier. He was driving you crazy... crazier than you could've ever thought you'd be.

--Time skip 

"Hey! Stop!!" 
"Oh my gosh- Alien!!"
"You both really are brothers..." 
"Hey, I AM THE KING OF THE ALIEN WO- HEY! Why did you smack me?!"
"You're nonsense."
"You're worse."
"You both are funny!" 

You were laughing, looking at them go crazy. An alien play was definitely not as cheesy as the love story but it was rather... wild. Full of bickerings and pillow fights. You couldn't help but laugh seeing them act like kids.
"So... listen to me now. Y/N must be tired of your plays, let's sit down and talk."
"I'm not tired... we should continue."
"SEE LOSER!" Taewoo spoke but groaned earning another kick from Taehyung.

"Hey, you shouldn't beat him like that." You said as he sighed saying, "It was.. a lovely beating. Hehe, I'm not that wild, you know."
"Me when I lie..." Taewoo whispered under his breath. You knew he was trying to look good but sighed, smiling. He was bad at lying, very bad at lying. 

Soon, Taehyung's mom served you all with some snacks as you all had them and rested for a while, chatted and laughed, and shared jokes and stories. More like- Taewoo shared all Taehyung's embarrassing jokes and Taehyung kept bickering with him and convincing you how those were lies. You were laughing the entire time, to the point you had happy tears in your eyes. They felt like home, so close and warm. 

"Where do you compose your music?" You asked Taehyung as he said, "Oh... it's in another room. Wanna see?" You nodded as he got up, forwarding his hand to help you get up. 
"It's just a bed.. I can get up." You said, smiling. He didn't take his hand back as you held it, getting up.
It was as if he just wanted to be the one who forwarded his hand for you to hold and get up. It was as if he was waiting for the moment he could hold your hand. 

Taewoo eyed you both and sighed, knowing well how his brother was acting was obvious yet you looked oblivious to it. 
Soon, you were in his music room. CDs everywhere, guitar and piano, a small area stacked with some papers and books. You admired the place and looked at the chair to see a small camera. 
"Woah.. this is so cute." You spoke, holding the camera. He looked at it and said, "Oh... this. It's a special one, I bought this in my childhood."
"Woah, really?" You asked, smiling. You were checking it out as Taewoo sat on a bench, going through his stuff making Taehyung sigh.

"No stealing, Taewoo." He spoke as Taewoo sighed saying, "I'm not broke like you!"
"Still, you steal from a broke person." He said making the younger boy scoff. 
"Do you want to click a picture with this?" Taehyung asked as you nodded. He smiled and took it from you before quickly taking a picture of you, making you jolt up. 
He started chuckling seeing the picture as you frowned, peeking in. But he didn't let you see the picture making you frown.
"Hey!" You complained trying to each the camera but he held it above his head making it hard for you to each. You were jumping, trying to each it but he kept backing away while chuckling. You sighed and glared at him as he chuckled, pinching your cheeks when you held his hand, trying to grab the camera but he gasped, losing his balance instead, almost stumbling, but held you first, making sure you don't fall off as he balanced himself.

"Hey! What if we both fell?!" He asked as you frowned saying, "Your fault."
"Mine?!" He asked as you nodded saying, "You are teasing me!"
"Am I?" He asked, wiggling his brows as you pouted, angrily staring at him. You didn't even know you were pouting while glaring at him but he noticed and smiled. These days, he felt as if you were opening up to him, more than you did before and he loved it.
"Hey... are you really mad?" He asked as you said, "Not really... just a little- annoyed." 
He chuckled and pinched your cheeks again until you both heard a cough, 

"Guys... I exist too."
