Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook shared a desk for six years of primary school. Taehyung had tormented Jungkook for every second of this time, but Jungkook saw his moment and chose a secondary school to end their friendship. Who would have thought tha...
Originally, Jungkook and Taehyung had arranged for him to take the same flight back as Jungkook and the ice hockey team. However, in the morning, Taehyung sent him a voice message.
Taehyung, "Jungkook, I had something on and went back last night. I didn't tell you beforehand as I was afraid that you'll be worried."
Jungkook felt that something was amiss. While having breakfast, he was lost in thoughts. When Yangyang stealthily swiped away the peeled egg he held and swapped it with a ball of a napkin, Jungkook raised the napkin to his mouth without realizing it. Yangyang was shocked. He quickly stopped him, took away the napkin, and returned the egg.
Jungkook snapped out of his daze and picked up his phone to re-listen to the message.
He realized what was wrong. Taehyung was upfront in his actions and always told him immediately whenever something happened. The vague excuse of "I had something on" was out of character for him.
Besides, if he returned to Rain City last night, he should have already been back when he sent the message to Jungkook this morning. Based on how people usually talked, he should have said "came back" instead of "went back".
Jungkook narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. In the end, he still decided to call Taehyung directly. "Hey, where are you?"
Taehyung paused for a moment. Then, he replied, "Where else can I be? In school, of course."
When he spoke, there was a howling sound in the background that should be the wind. When Jungkook heard the wind, he gave a slight frown.
Seoul was experiencing such large gales these few days.
Jungkook said, "Mm, have a good lesson. I heard Yoongi say that it's going to rain. Did you bring your umbrella?"
"Yes, yes, I did. Jungkook, do you think I'm stupid? I'm heading to class now, gonna hang up."
"Okay."
After Jungkook hung up, he checked the weather report in Rain City; it stated clear skies with no wind.
He felt his heart sink slowly. A little unable to accept this fact, he texted Yoongi and asked:

Taehyung and Yukhei arranged to meet at a café near the national team that he was at. His appearance did not seem to have changed much in the past year. Even his hair was the same. His dimple was still there and when he smiled, his eyes remained bright and limpid. The only difference was the steadiness in his gaze that indicated the growth he experienced in the past year.
Taehyung suddenly felt the melancholy of an aged mother. "Yukhei has grown up."
Yukhei looked down and smiled. He asked, "What are you doing in Seoul?"
