All 7 of them, plus Hoseok's girlfriend Rose, were having a picnic.

It was actually Jimin's and Jungkook's idea and others agreed cheerfully too. They haven't got together after Jungkook's birthday dinner so picnic seemed like a good idea.

The food was prepared by Jin and Rose and Taehyung helped too. Jimin brought some stuff from his home also. Together they went to this beautiful field which was a perfect spot for a picnic.

Currently Jimin, Jungkook, Namjoon, Hoseok and Rose were playing with a ball in the field while Jin, Yoongi and Taehyung were relaxing on a blanket spread under a tree shade.

Yoongi has almost fallen asleep. That man can sleep anywhere. Jin and Taehyung were looking at the 5 grownup people, who were laughing, screaming and running around like small kids. They were so in to the game that they didn't even realize the ruckus they were making.

"We always used to play ball when we went on picnics too." Taehyung said so quietly, as if he was talking to himself.

"With your family?" Jin asked in a soft voice. He doesn't want to make Taehyung uncomfortable but since the younger initiated the conversation, it seems like appropriate.

Taehyung was silent for a while, looking in to the distance. Jin could almost see the internal battle Taehyung was having to reveal about his past.

"No. At the orphanage I grew up in." Taehyung finally gave a sigh and spoke up.

Jin tried to mask his surprise and gave a little hum. Yoongi opened his eyes a bit and shared a quick glance with Jin before closing them again.

Taehyung noticed both their reactions and chuckled a bit.

"It's fine hyung. It was a good place. The people there took very good care of the children. I was happy there." Taehyung looked at Jin and got a tiny nod in response.

"You know, I always wonder what happened to you Tae." Jin said with a sad smile.

"I know you do. All of you do. And I also know that you will be very sad if you knew about it. I don't want any of you to be sad. The last time Jungkook found out something he seemed to have cried for hours." Taehyung replied with a sigh.

"Jungkook found out something?" Jin asked curiously.

"Yeah... I never want to see him cry like that." Taehyung said in a painful voice.

Jin was curious to ask more but he knew he can't. He didn't want to pressure Taehyung in to something he doesn't want to do. What matters is his present and his future. The future in which his own brother will hopefully be a big part.

They were silent for a while and it was broken by loud laughter as the others came after finishing their game.

"Tae..." Jungkook whined as he laid down next to Taehyung and rested his head on Taehyung's lap.

"Hmm...what happened baby?" Taehyung asked as he stroked the younger's hair gently.

"We lost Tae. Hobi hyung and Rose won. Jimin was terrible." Jungkook whined again, giving a menacing glance to his best friend.

"Yah!!! I was not!! That game is stupid." Jimin retorted from where he was sitting next to Yoongi.

"Stupid??!! You can't even catch the ball properly with your small fingers!!." Jungkook yelled back.

"Come here you little-"

Yoongi had to grab Jimin from his waist to prevent him from kicking Jungkook and Taehyung wrapped his hands around Jungkook's body to stop him from getting up.

"Alright you two, that's enough." Jin said sternly while Hoseok, Rose and Namjoon howled with laughter. They all know the fights these two friends have is not real ones. They love each other too much to have a real fight.

Taehyung bent down to give a forehead kiss to Jungkook which seems to have calmed down the younger and he snuggled more into Taehyung body. But that could also be because Jungkook was trying to hide his now tomato red face

"Come on, let's eat." Jin opened up the containers he brought, filled with delicious food and everyone hurried to eat.

Two friends forgot their fight in a minute as they giggled over a weirdly shaped fried squid. Taehyung couldn't help but coo at the innocent and childish behavior of his boyfriend.

Jungkook kept his head on Taehyung's lap while the elder feed him his lunch. Every time Jin told Jungkook to get up and let Taehyung eat peacefully, Taehyung gave a reassuring smile to the younger and kept on feeding him. Jungkook went as far as sticking his tongue out to Jin and Jin rolled his eyes in response.

They enjoyed a quiet time while they eat, interrupted by occasional small talk. Taehyung never really noticed how smart and educated Namjoon is. He seem to be knowing about almost everything.

After lunch, everyone laid down and relaxed in the shade. It was a peaceful sight. 8 grownup people, sleeping in a field without a single worry in the world.

Taehyung felt happy to be part of a normal thing like a picnic with friends. There was a time he didn't even get out of the house in the day time.

But even as he laid peacefully among friends, he couldn't help but feel a tiny worry in the back of his mind. Everything seems to be going really well. Things were perfect. It almost felt too good to be true and that feeling, scared the hell out of Taehyung. It felt too much like the calm before the storm.
