Chapter 7
Special 7The smell of gasoline,the rapid sound of cars racing to death.
Seokjin doesn't like the sound neither does Yoongi.
They sat still-well,not really-at the bleachers far from the race track.
"Since when was Taehyung into racing? Why haven't I heard about this until now?"
Seokjin shouted,because the race cars are too loud,for the others to hear him.
Hoseok heard what Seokjin said
and answered,"Since he was a child,I guess."
"Haven't you seen his car collections? Have you not went to his room?
He has so many toy cars. Anything you can think of
from old fashioned to the latest cars." Jungkook explained.
Seokjin shook his head,
"I've been to his house,but not in his room."
They watch as Taehyung drive the race car-which Jungkook said,
Taehyung's baby-and go on to the fastest pace. Three more laps till it end,
Seokjin and Yoongi are happy to hear that,
and Taehyung's on the lead.
"He's going for it,he's going for it,he's going for it!"
Jungkook and Jimin kept chanting when they saw that Taehyung
has only one more lap till he claim the title as First Place.
"And Kim Taehyung is the first one to finish! Congratulations!"
The announcer stated and the six of them clapped happily
as they saw Taehyung come out of the car.
"Yes,yes. Give it up for Choi Chunsang,Lee Jaeyang and,
of course,Kim Taehyung!" Everybody clapped and cheered for the winners
as they gave the medals and trophies at the awarding ceremony.
"It's the first time Taehyung won,right?" Namjoon asked.
"No,not really. He won a lot of times,
but this was the first time he got first." Jimin clarified.
Namjoon understood and nodded.
Taehyung went up to them with a wide smile while holding his trophy
on his right hand and his helmet on his left.
The six cheered and shouted while they hug and squeeze Taehyung.
"Dude,congratulations!" Jimin said while grabbing the trophy
out of Taehyung's hand and looking at it intently.
"Thanks." Taehyung said still has that wide wide smile
plastered in his mouth "Dad,will be so happy."
"When are you planning to tell them?" Jungkook added.
"Maybe when I come back." Taehyung said with
only he and Jungkook can hear.
The others were too busy taking pictures of them
holding the trophy and talking about the cars they saw.
Jungkook raised an eyebrow,"What do you mean,hyung?"
"I'm going to L.A,remember? The finals is going to be held there."
Taehyung said,still whispering to Jungkook.
Before Jungkook replied,Jimin jumped into them
"What are you guys talking about?
Don't keep a secret from me!"
"I'm going to tell you later,just act like nothing happened."
Taehyung said with a serious look.
And the two nodded in agreement.
"Yah! Taehyung! Aren't you going to treat us?"
Yoongi shouted as he came closer to the three
followed by Seokjin,Namjoon and Hoseok.
"Yeah,let's go to Cloud Nine!" Hoseok chirped.
The others,specially Jungkook,looked at him with a disagreeing look.
Cloud Nine-a club owned by Taehyung's parents,
located at Gangnam area, walking distance to Symphony.
"No. No,Hoseok!" Seokjin chanted "We are not going into a club,okay.
Jungkook is still not legal. And we need to eat,not get drunk.
There's still school tomorrow."
Hoseok pouted and stumped,"Okay fine.
How about Purple Veil?" He said.
"Fine. I need to eat sweets as well." Taehyung ageed and told the others
that he'll just go and change. They can wait at the van.
Jungkook,Taehyung and Jimin are at the back seats,as usual,
in the middle is Namjoon,Seokjin and Yoongi,and in front is Hoseok.
Taehyung thought this was the perfect timing to tell Jimin
what was he and Jungkook were talking about. When he told Jimin
,Jimin almost shouted but Taehyung covered his mouth.
Jungkook then joined them,begging Taehyung that they should come
with him when he goes to L.A. Not because they want to go to America,
but because they don't want one of then to go,alone.
They've never done that,they never left each other.
"But when are you leaving? Why don't you want to tell thw others?"
Jimin whispered as the others first got off the van.
"I just don't like making a fuss out of it." Taehyung said
while he go out of the van as well. Jimin followed him,
"Come on,man. We're your friends."
"You can tell them when I leave." Taehyung stopped
and looked at Jimin "By then I already left
and then they won't follow me at the airport."
"Hey guys! Come quick!" Jungkook called Taehyung
and Jimin while he opens the door to the café.
Taehyung,Jimin and Jungkook had separate tables
from Namjoon,Seokjin,Yoongi and Hoseok.
Seokjin noticed that the three were quiet,not really talking to each other.
Other than Yoongi and Hoseok who are not fighting-which is weird-,
the three aren't loud for the first time.
"What's with everyone these days?" Seokjin whispered into Namjoon's ear,
and Namjoon flinched.
He looked at Seokjin with a curious face,
"Who do you mean by 'everyone'?"
"You know,those three" pointed at Jimin,Taehyung and Jungkook
who are just sipping their coffees,"And them" he pointed with his lips
to Yoongi and Hoseok,who are in front of them lost in their thoughts.
"I don't know either. It's weird isn't it?
Seeing our crew so quiet." Namjoon said.
"Yeah,I feel like I'm in another universe,where Yoongi and Hoseok
are good to each other,and wherein those three are so so quiet."
Seokjin laughed quietly.
Namjoon glanced at Seokjin,"But you never changed."
he whispered to himself.
"What?" Though Seokjin might happened to heard the mumbling,
and Namjoon got his senses back.
"Nothing,it's nothing." He shook his head
and sipped his coffee.
"I'm leaving this Wednesday" Taehyung quietly said,
after he finished sipping his coffee.
The two nodded idly.
"We know." Jungkook answered.
"Have fun." Jimin added. Then it was silent again.
They're pretty much happy for Taehyung
being able to go onto the finals,but they're not happy
that Taehyung's leaving them
for who-knows-how-long!
"Guys,it's just a few days." Taehyung said looking at Jimin
and Jungkook who are poking the mocha cake in their plate.
Jimin snorted,"Yeah,few days aka few months.
Dude,don't you know how long practices are before
the 'official' battle starts?" he said,with a sad tone.
Taehyung just sighed followed by silence again.
The three stayed like that for a couple of minutes before
Namjoon and Seokjin decided that they should go home
and get ready for school. They noticed that the five was being so quiet,
to the fact that they were happy hours ago when Taehyung won the race.
When they got home Namjoon called Seokjin to tell him something.
"Seokjin hyung,we need to help them."
"What can we do,then?"
"We'll have shortened classes on Wednesday,right?"
"Yeah,okay,so?"
"We can go to a carnival or something-I mean,it'll be fun-though
I've never been to a carnival or amusement park
but I know that'll be a great opportunity for us to hangout!"
"Wow,okay. But how about this,we'll go with partners."
"Oh! That'll be great! Let's be partners,then Yoongi hyung and Hoseok,then the other three."
"Yes,exactly. I surely hope everything will be the same after this 'plan' that we're having"
"It will! You go text them okay? I need to go."
"Okay,okay. Bye."
"Goodbye."
Namjoon asked Seokjin to tell the others about it,since they'll not meet at the green house tomorrow
and on Tuesday because of the exams,which will end on Wednesday.
To: Yoongi,Hoseok,Taehyung,Jimin,Jungkook
Guys,are you free on Wednesday? Around 6pm.
Let's meet at the green house. Bye! Have a good night!
From: Seokjin
Seokjin received a text from Hoseok saying that it's alright for him.
The others might have not seen it yet.
They're probably sleeping now,it's almost 10pm,he should sleep now as well.
