Perhaps it's because of how uncomplicated everything was, Taehyung thought melancholically. His father had said: With age came complexity, drawing myriad lines and splashing intricate colors on the blank slate that was life.

If that was how things were and time could only move forward, then a person's childhood was the most innocent period of his or her life.

Thinking back to his childhood, Taehyung's mind was filled with Jungkook.

Oh, stop thinking about him!

Taehyung rubbed his head helplessly.

"Boss, do you want some alcohol?" Eunwoo suddenly asked.

"Ah? Sure, I'll help myself." Taehyung reached for the beer bottle as he replied to him.

There was a meaningful look in Eunwoo's eyes. He took Taehyung's cup and filled it to the brim.

After doing so, he secretly texted Jungkook.

It was rare that Eunwoo had the opportunity to lecture Jungkook and the experience made him elated

It was rare that Eunwoo had the opportunity to lecture Jungkook and the experience made him elated. Sigh, he suddenly hoped that Jungkook would not be able to take down his boss so quickly.

Taehyung was very mindful of how much he drank. He did not dare to drink much as he was worried that his dad would nag at him again. It was still some time before school started and his dearest dad was bored out of his mind at home. His wife was also rarely at home and his loneliness meant that he was capable of making a mountain out of a molehill by excessively poring over a small matter.

As a result, Taehyung was the one who drank the least in the end. Even Jaehyun was tipsy, his face flushed and his eyes lightly glazed from intoxication. The rest were worse. There were two who could not even walk straight.

Taehyung and Jaehyun stood at the restaurant entrance and made sure that everyone got onto a taxi safely.

When only the two of them were left, Taehyung raised his arm to flag down another taxi but Jaehyun stopped him.

"Let's talk," Jaehyun said.

Taehyung put down his hand and measured Jaehyun. He asked, "You have something to say?"

Jaehyun avoided his gaze and did not dare to look at him directly. Jaehyun's face seemed to turn a deeper shade of red. "Do you want to go to the temple fair together the day after tomorrow?"

Eh...

Taehyung watched Jaehyun's face and asked, "Jaehyun, what do you mean by this?"

"I..."

"Are... you asking me out on a date?"

Jaehyun did not expect Taehyung to state things like this. Right, he was always frank and open-minded. In the beginning, he was the one who confessed to Jaehyun first.
