[Primary School]

Taehyung is his cousin. And Minseok loves the younger boy like he would love his own brother. They have grown up together. They share same interests in most things. They are in the same class. They are in the same soccer team.

Minseok wants to watch over him like an older brother would. He does not want to see him get hurt, or hurt him. He does not want to cause even a slightest pain.

So, due to the above reasons, the boy with round cheeks has fallen into a deep thought, in the midst of choosing a book, in their school’s huge library. He goes through the book titles meaninglessly. Nothing interests him at that moment, because he’s trying to think of a way to divert Jongdae’s attention from Taehyung.

He has been watching his cousin for the past few days. And, he can clearly see that his cousin has a crush on his best friend. Taehyung has successfully caught Jongdae’s attention by his cute behavior. Jongdae is more interested in Taehyung than him. Minseok does not want to admit it, but, yes, he feels bad and… jealous. And he feels annoyed and disappointed in himself because he’s envious of his cousin.

Even right now, in the library, Jongdae is chatting away happily with Taehyung. They seem to have completely forgotten about him. So, he heaves a sigh, and laments the past days when Jongdae used to stick to his side all day.

First books, then video games, and now Taehyung. The world seemed to be against him and Jo
