The new Spring semester has kicked started and Taehyung been enjoying his daily weekday routine of classes and assignments while sparing his weekends for leisure.

It's been 2 weeks since Tae encountered the dark raven head boy in the basement. The young man has forgotten all about it since the day. He did not encounter the mysterious guy ever since for him to recall anything.

After all, Taehyung had been fully occupied with classes and also taking care of Grandpa Dan's garden for him. He ensured every single plant in the garden is well taken care of for the older man to return to tomorrow.

.

Taehyung was walking along the corridor after ending his Intro to Clinical Medicine class. Today is Friday, so it means that he won't be able to visit the garden tomorrow as it's the weekend, and Grandpa Dan should be back by then.

"Hmm...maybe I should just drop by and leave him a note inside his watering can."

Tae made his way to the medical school back building towards to the flower garden. He visited them 2 days ago, so he thought he will shower them little water and lots of love before departing.

Jimin has no classes today, so Taehyung won't have to worry about carpooling his friend back home.

.

The young man was walking joyously heading to the garden when he started to smell something strong lingering in the air. It hit him like a tornado.

"Mmm...this..." Taehyung was attempting to recall the scent as he kept walking towards the direction that emitting the strong musky fragrance. He increased the speed of his footsteps as he turned corner and corners around the building, finally coming to the open field of flowers.

"Ouch."

Taehyung didn't notice the figure in front of him, hidden around the corner as he crushed his face into the person's back.

He started to rub his forehead and nose feeling a little achy as he crushed into the person, not knowing who it is that stood there blocking his way.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." Typical Taehyung always says sorry for everything although it's not even his fault.

Taehyung was squinting his eyes in pain earlier but now opened them wide to take in the features of the person in front of him. A tall man, close to his height, wide muscular shoulder, dark raven hair...and, deep musky scent.

"Oh, it's you."

Taehyung circled to the front and stood facing the raven head. Eyes wide open but still as astonished as he did when he first bumped into the mysterious man.

"You're the basement guy."

The raven head did not say anything as he continued to keep his composure firm and cool. He eyed the brown hair male in front of him, lining his gaze from his eyes to his button nose.

"Hello? Are you ok?" Taehyung waved his hand in front of the said male.

The raven head nodded. Taehyung furrowed his eyes in confusion but did not avert his gaze from the male in front of him. When Tae noticed the raven head switched his look to the back of him, he turned around as well.

"OH, NO...No no no...what happened?"

Taehyung gasped in horror. He closed his mouth with his hands as he ran forward to the flowers.

"No no no...Grandpa Dan loves them. It can't be. They can't die."

Taehyung unknowingly started to cry as he squatted down in front of the dead Peonies, trying to reach out to them but his arms stayed motionless beside him.

The sorrow in Tae's face reflects the sad vision in front of him, where all the Peonies have either withered or became dried in a charcoal black colour. They don't look like the same radiating beautiful fresh Peonies like he watered a couple of days ago.

At the back of him, the raven head crossed his arms and leaned on the wall of the building as he smirked watching the boy tremble.

"It's only a field of useless flowers and he is so torn up about it. Pathetic." The raven head was enjoying Taehyung's misery.

The crying boy continued to sob and kept mumbling how Grandpa Dan will be so upset about the Peonies and his flowers when he returns tomorrow.

"I wish I can fix this...but they look so bad." Tae said as he slows down his cries, thinking of a way to convey the message to Grandpa. He has no idea how did this happen, which is awfully strange given they were bloomed beautifully just a couple of days ago.

.

As the raven head grew tired waiting for the brown head to mourn over the Peonies, he took a few steps ahead approaching Taehyung.

"It's ok."

Taehyung's body jerked in shock with the foreign touch on his shoulder blade. He turned back to see the raven head tapping his fingers on his shoulder as if to comfort him.

It was all fake anyways, but the raven head was so good in pretending, he made Taehyung believe he was genuinely comforting him.

"B-but...Grandpa Dan will be very upset."

"The hell I care about that old sag..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Taehyung was still focused with the upsetting sight in front of him missing the snarky remarks by the raven boy.

"Ahem...I mean there is nothing we can do about it. He will know better to sort it out."

The raven head tried to flash a warm smile. Keyword, he tried. It ended with the raven head boy's fatal attempt pressing his lips in a thin line making it look somewhat like a smile.

Taehyung didn't look at him any longer, the brown head nodded as if agreeing to the statement and slowly rise to his feet.

"I guess I will leave a note for him...and come back on Monday to visit."

The raven head did not know what to say, like is he suppose to hold him further? comfort him? hug him? He is certainly not used to all these. He didn't know what to do next so he retrieved his hands inside his pockets.

"Angels, please visit Grandpa tomorrow and comfort him when he is sad about this." Taehyung said as he placed his sorry note on the watering can for Grandpa Dan about the flowers.

The other male rolled his eyes in annoyance as he heard Taehyung mumbling something to his ANGELS.

"Oh, thanks. I mean, whatever you said was comforting." Taehyung wiped his tears and nose on his sleeve as he genuinely thanked the boy in front of him.

"What's your name? I mean we met once before and you just walked off, I couldn't even thank you properly. Are you a student here as well?"

The raven head did not know how to reply exactly but he figured if he wants to complete his assigned task, then he has to gain the friendship from Taehyung.

"Yea. I'm a student here. Psychology major."

"Oh, that's cool. I'm a Medical major."

"I know."

"Huh? Did you know? H-how did..how did you know about me?" Tae will never forget the people he has met, especially not someone as attractive as the raven head.

"Urm...your book plus the basement." The raven head saved himself flawlessly when he pointed at Tae's anatomy book that was peeking through his sling bag.

"Oh...yea. I forgot about that, but what were you doing at the medical library?"

Shit.

"Coz I was looking for some Psychoanalysis related materials in the medical field, I lost my way to the basement."

Taehyung nodded, it makes complete sense for some Psych majors to find their materials gathered in the medical database. Nothing unusual.

"Alright, it's getting late. I will just head back. Thanks again..."

"Jungkook."

"Ah, finally. I'm Taehyung." The brown hair smiled weakly and extended his hand to the raven head.

Jungkook shakes Taehyung's hand and nodded before leaving the garden.

"At least I know who he is now." Taehyung felt satisfied. He turned to bid the dead Peonies his farewell and looked at the sky one last time sending his prayers to his Angels as he made his way back to his car.

Jungkook's POV

I knew Taehyung is alone today on the campus. I did not see his short head friend leeching to him when he arrived this morning.

I have been stalking them every single day for the past 2 weeks, I know their schedules at the back of my hand.

But, where could he be now? I know he is somewhere around the medical building, clinging to his books. I remember him always stopping by the garden to visit his old friend. Could he be there right now?

I made my way to the garden while keeping my eyes sharp in search of the brown-haired boy. We are supposed to be the same age, but I feel like he looks way younger and immature for 20 years old.

So innocent. It's disgusting.

I came to the garden and no sight of Taehyung.

Shit, I shouldn't have come here in a rush without thinking, I did not notice the field of flowers in front of me. For the record, I am not allergic to flowers or anything like that, but...

I saw them withering and turning black right in front of my eyes. I stood there watching them get their life sucked out, turning nothing but to a pile of ugly dirt.

Not that I care, I hate flowers. They smell awful.

"Ouch."

I felt someone crashed into my back, hitting themselves on the back of my head.

"Ouch."

I smirked. I knew who it is.

My Task. Kim Taehyung.
