"Hey Taehyun!" Jimin greets as they went outside the shop.

"Hello Jimin-hyung!" Taehyun greets back. "What are you doing in that... Magic Shop? Yeah, Magic Shop."

"Um.. we're just having tea," Jimin lies.

"Ohh.. wait! Why does the Magic Shop have tea? Does it really have some magic stuffs? I mean it's a Magic Shop after all," Taehyun says.

"Well, the Magic Shop is a cafè not an actual magician shop," Jimin explains.

Taehyun nods while his mouth gaping, "Where did you get that bag, Taehyung-hyung? I thought you haven't brought a bag when we went to school."

"I just found it laying on the road," Taehyung lies.

"Hyung! You know we never pick some rubbish on a road," Taehyun says.

"...I'll just leave you guys alone," Jimin says and leaves.

"It's not rubbish! And why do you care?" Taehyung asks. "I never cared anything you do anyway."

"I care because I'm your brother, well technically stepbrother, now tell me, hyung. Where. Did. You. Get. That. Bag?" Taehyun asks. "Or I'm telling mom."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Please."

"No."

They continue their bickering until they get home and Taehyung is starting to get annoyed at his younger brother.

"Did you see my bag? Did you see my bag? It's hella trophies and it's hella thick!" Taehyun sings. "How'd you think 'bout that? How'd yo-"

"Won't you shut up?!" Taehyung yells.

Taehyun immediately fell silent and says, "No! Unless you tell me where did you get that bag or I will sing again."

Taehyung hesitates. Taehyun open his mouth to sing again but his mouth was covered by Taehyung. Taehyun licks his hand.

"Yah! Taehyun!" Taehyung yells.

"Sorry not sorry," Taehyun says and runs away.

"Why you!" Taehyung screams and runs to catch Taehyun.

Taehyun runs to their house and goes in locking the front door and the back door.

"Yah! Taehyun! Let me in," Taehyung says, banging the front door.

"Never! Tell me, where did you get that bag?" Taehyun asks loudly.

"Like I would tell you."

"It's fine. I think that I'll eat your cookies if you won't tell, hyung," Taehyun says.

"Don't you dare!"

Taehyun grabs the jar of Taehyung's cookies and heads to the window where his hyung is watching him. Taehyun looks at his hyung while he is grabbing a piece of cookie in the jar, he opens his mouth to take a bite of the cookie.

"Stop!" Taehyung yells but Taehyun already took a bite.

"Mmm.. it's delicious," Taehyun says crumbs are flying out of his mouth.

"I got it from the Magic Shop!" Taehyung yells defeated.

Taehyung is such a rebellious kid or a gangster, he doesn't care anything what is happening in the world. He usually skips classes and sometimes went to an abandoned junk shop to carve words on an old truck with his knife.

He only use the knife for self-defense and cutting things, but he doesn't use for murdering people. What kind of person use the knife for murdering? Oh right, murderers and psychopaths. But Taehyung isn't a psychopath, just a rebellious teenager.
