"I'm just worried about you," he admits. "This is your first time travelling alone. I'm surprised Dad allowed you out of his sight. We all know you're his favorite son."
"I'm not!" Teahyung
protests. "I just convinced him to give me a chance to do things on my own before we launch KTH Gaming next month."
"Waah, my baby brother will be the newest CEO under the Kim Group!" Seokjin sits up and grins at him. "I'm so proud of you, Tae!"

"Thank you for the dinner," Mrs. Kim smiles warmly at Chae and Jingoo. "It's lovely. And this place is really breathtaking."
"You're welcome," Chae grins at everyone. "And yes. This place is really a wonder. That's why when we found this property, we didn't let it slip away."
"We also want to have something like this," Jungkook comments. "But maybe somewhere near the beach. Tae loves the sound of the waves."
"Don't tell me you're moving for work here?" Mrs. Kim is a bit shocked.
"Oh, just a plan for our future," Jungkook shrugs. "We haven't really
talked about it. Just that it would be nice to have a place by the beach."
"Your relationship must be really serious if you're future planning already," Chae observes. "I must say that you really look good together. Both really attractive young men. People must be jealous."
"Huh?" Taehyung is lost. He reaches out for Jungkook so they can kiss again, but Jungkook sits up.
"You said 'If, if we decide to be in a relationship.' That's what you said," Jungkook says, sound almost accusing. "Aren't we automatically boyfriends?"
Taehyung sighs.
"We can be. If we decide to," he says patiently. All he wants to do is kiss Jungkook senseless. But he promised the talk and that he would listen. "You want to be boyfriends? A lot will change in our relationship."
"Like what?" Jungkook asks hesitantly.
"Expectations. One.
Commitment. Two. I understand if you want to think about it first."
Jungkook is quiet.
"You told me your only relationship is with a girl when you were seventeen," Taehyung recalls. "And it lasted only two months. Then only hook-ups after that. Am I remembering it correctly?"
"The fan service ends here," Taehyung says, looking at Jungkook without any expression when the latter followed him to his van after the Busan concert. "I'm going back to Seoul now. I need to attend a meeting for
the variety show I agreed to appear in with my hyungs."
Jungkook looks like he was physically hit with his pained expression.
"Is this all fan service to you?"
"Is it not?" Taehyung asks back.
"I held your hand in front of everyone. Our parents were even in the audience,"
Jungkook sounds and looks so frustrated. "Eveyone knows I never offer my hand first. But I always extend it for you."
"It's the same hand you use for fan service with our other hyungs," Taehyung whispers. "It will be the same hand you will offer Hana when you start dating next
