Third Person's Point of View.

There's nothing Taehyung despises than being babied by his mother or anyone, in particular, because as a matter of fact, he's already a grown-up and technically not a baby anymore.

But here, today, his mother is putting a towel on his back, telling him he should take good care of himself for the reason that he's now living alone in an apartment she bought for him.

"Mom, I'm okay, I swear." Taehyung complains, folding his arms in front of his chest.

"See? In that attitude, you're still a baby." Mrs. Kim coos then pinches her son's cheeks.

"No!" he protests.

"Oh, and by the way, who is this Jimin guy that you have a crush on?" his mom asks, excitedly waiting for his son's answer.

However, Taehyung didn't answer, instead, he looks down and a blush starts to form onto his cheeks. He can't believe his mom is asking him about his crush.

"Why?" She hooks her fingers on his chin to lift his head up, "I wanna meet him so I can know who's making my baby blush like that." she teases.

"Mom! No, there's no way." He swipes his mom's hand off gently.

"If you didn't ramble at me about the guy you met at the mall last week, I wouldn't be curious of how does he look like. Is he cute? Is he handsome? Come on, son, I wanna meet him." Taehyung only sighs.

"I'll let you meet him when I'm ready." That earned a confused look from his mom.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Kim sighs back. "But let me tell you, son, don't use your heart too much, we both know it's weak. And you know what I mean by that." Taehyung just nods.

They both got startled when his phone vibrates through the sofa, receiving a call from a caller ID: Jiminnie ♡

"Jiminnie, huh?" Mrs. Kim gives him a sly smile and he can't help but to blush once more.

He picks up his phone from the sofa and presses the 'accept' button before putting it on his left ear. "Hello?"

"Oh my god, I've been debating with myself whether or not I should call you, but now that I'm already calling, I just wanted to check if you're okay." Jimin rambled then sighed. He spoke so fast, he was nearly out of breath.

If Taehyung has to be honest, he found that very cute and he had to prevent himself from smiling by biting his lower lip. He can see his mom giggling on his side from his peripheral view.

"Uh, yes, I'm okay. I hope you're feeling okay, too." he manages to say.

"Uhm..." There's a silent for a few seconds on the other line before Jimin speaks again. "There's something I want to say b-but I forgot about it. Let me just remember it, p-please." Jimin says in a shy tone.

He lets out a small laugh and mentally giggles. "Sure, take your time."

There's a moment of silent again, only their breathing can be heard. He glances at his mom and she's now brushing her hair randomly.

"Oh, I remember it now!" Jimin suddenly spoke that Taehyung almost jumped on his seat.

"Oh, good. What is it then?" he asks, smiling.

"I'm just wondering if you could, uhm, company me on my birthday? Because you know, I'm alone here and I don't know if some of my friends are going to come visit me." Jimin's tone is still shy. Taehyung can't help but to giggle.

Taehyung smiles even widely, "Sure! I gladly want to company you."

"I remembered what you said about a birthday being special. I thought that birthdays are special when you have someone companying you. So, that's why I asked you. And thank you for accepting!" He can feel Jimin's smile through the phone.

He can't seem to brush the smile off his face. He's very happy to be asked by Jimin to company him. Sounds like a dream come true considering he already visited him twice unannounced.

"Of course, Jimin, anything for you." He suddenly glances at his mom when he realized what he said. His mom seems to be enjoying watching his son talking to his beloved crush named Jimin.

What a cute name. His mom has thought.

"Thank you, Taehyung. And I hope you'll come over here again tomorrow. Anyway, I gotta go now. Have a nice day!" Jimin said the last part in enthusiasm. "See you!"

"See you!" Taehyung hung the call up and locked his phone.

He looks at his mom and she's giving her a teasing smile. "So, what did he say?" she asks, quirking her lips up to the side.

Taehyung, once again, blushed. He couldn't hide it anymore. Not anymore because his mom knows it already. "Well, he said he wants me to company him on the day of his birthday because he's alone in his apartment."

Mrs. Kim nods, "That's good then. You should buy him a gift."

"I'm planning to buy him a gift but I don't know what to buy." he pouts.

"Oh, just give him anything that you think he might like. I'm sure he'll appreciate it, and besides, it's the thought that counts, isn't it?" she said, playfully raising an eyebrow.

Taehyung agrees, "Okay, Mom, thank you so much."

"No problem, son." She proceeds to hug her loving son.

On the other side, Jimin can't seem to stop smiling from ear to ear. Taehyung being on his apartment makes him happy. It's only been two days since Taehyung's first visit, but he must say that the younger's presence makes him really happy. He's never been happy with a company before.

He goes to his room and walks towards his closet. He opens a drawer and there, he grabs a blue notebook, a notebook containing all of the things he has to do and had done.

He opens a page and grabs a pen from the drawer as well. Celebrate your birthday with Taehyung, he writes, putting a heart beside the said name then a small box for him to put a check mark when it finishes.

He smiles at himself, feeling satisfied, before closing the notebook and putting it back inside the drawer.

He closes his closet and brought his feet up to stand then finally walks out of his room.

He stopped when he's about to sit on the sofa. "What did I just do?" he asked himself confusedly. "Oh, yeah," his voice tone went higher when he realized, "I just wrote celebrate my—okay." he confirmed himself then he happily sat on the sofa, turning on the television using the remote control.

"Uhm, Hoseok, would you mind if you help me here?" Yoongi, on the other side of the story, said while walking towards the dining table, holding a large bowl of jajangmyeon.

Sitting crossed-leg on the sofa, Hoseok hums, glancing at Yoongi, "Yes?"

The older male rolls his eyes due to the fact this visitor of his is already feeling at home. The audacity.

"Nevermind!" Yoongi half-yelled as he goes back to the kitchen.

"Okay!" Hoseok continues to watch TV. Yoongi can't help but to roll his eyes again.

He doesn't like his audacity to just feeling at home like it's his own house. However, he can't seem to be annoyed by him.

He grabs two plates, two spoons and two pairs of chopsticks then goes back to the dining area to set the table. He finally calls for the younger male to eat.

"Ah, yes, it's lunch time!" Hoseok excitedly said, running towards the dining area. "Wow! Jajangmyeon, it's my favorite!"

Yoongi chuckles, getting himself seated on the chair. Hoseok also sat on the chair across him.

His dining area is only suited for two persons as there are only two chairs.

"Hoseok," the said boy only hummed as he's already putting some jajangmyeon on his plate. "Were you okay sleeping on the sofa? I would be glad if you—"

"No, no, it's okay, I'm totally fine sleeping on the sofa. Though it's a little bit uncomfortable but I swear I'm okay." he assures, giving him a wide smile.

"I would be glad if you sleep in my bedroom so you could be comfortable." he repeated his interrupted sentence.

Despite his attitude earlier, Hoseok gives him a shy smile, "Is it okay with you? I'm really sorry if—"

"I said I would be glad, so yes, it's okay with me."

Even though he was kinda annoyed that Hoseok came inside his house without permission, he doesn't hate him for staying. Besides, as the younger stated yesterday, he was being chased and apparently a wanted 'murderer'. And that... he's lonely. A company would be great.

But what if Hoseok is lying so he can just stay in his house? What if Hoseok is not only a murderer, but also a thief and planning to steal in his house when he finally has the chance?

Yoongi brushed away the thought. Hoseok seems to be nice and not planning to do anything bad. He stared at him as the latter silently and happily eats.

Hoseok noticed his stare and glanced at him, "Why? Is there any problem, Yoongi hyung?" he asked nicely.

The older male only shook his head and the younger just nodded and continued to eat. He started to put some jajangmyeon on his plate. He's just starting to eat while the other is almost finished. He mentally laughed at himself.
