Boy Meets What

Hoseok whips out a piece of paper the moment he and Yoongi alight the bus. Yoongi tilts his head at the complicate drawing on the paper, and Hoseok turns to explain.    "A map."    "Oh." Yoongi nods to himself. It didn't register to him the first few moment, but eventually he gets what that is. "I know that."   "I never said you don't." Hoseok smiles his signature sunshine smile. Yoongi subtly looks away to hide his embarrassed face, and also to avoid from going blind by staring straight at the sun. He has thought he had seen and learnt enough traveling with Jimin, but clearly there is still a very long way for him to get on with modernity and everything.    "We have to walk down this road a bit more." Hoseok says, pointing to a line on the paper. "There's a farmhouse whose owner I'm familiar with. She'll let us look around."   "Do you really need a map to the house of someone you are familiar with?"   The question makes Hoseok chuckle. To him, Yoongi sounds like someone who would never fall for any trick. If only he knew about the Eden incident. "I'm familiar with the owner, not her farm." He continues studying the map.    Yoongi oh's, and then nods again.    The road they're about to walk down on is a little muddy and narrow. If there were any vehicle, let alone a truck, to come through, it would probably sandwich both Yoongi and Hoseok to the granite wall. Hoseok knowingly extends his hand when they're nearing any puddle, and Yoongi grabs onto it to keep his balance as he skips over.    Because of the differences of their height—with Hoseok looming much taller—Yoongi can't help but feel more secured and protected. Whereas with Jimin he feels like the both of them would die altogether if the sky was to fall. But it's not that he doesn't trust Jimin—he does, very much. It's just that sometimes he forgot that Jimin has years of blood, sweat, tears, and wisdom in that tiny body of his, and that he might just be the wisest person Yoongi knows—if he started  acting like one.    Yoongi shakes his head. This isn't the time to let his thoughts wander back to Jimin. Or ever. He just doesn't want to think about that person.    Midway, Hoseok stops at a fountain and lays out his palm to scoop the water. He sips and makes a satisfied sound, looking energized. "You can drink this. It's clean."   "Are you sure?" Yoongi points to the worn out boot floating nearby and Hoseok spits out instantly.    "I haven't been here in a while." He says, clearly embarrassed. "I'll look more into it to tighten the manner of the people. Geez!"   "Look more into it?"   "Oh? There's the farm!" Hoseok points toward with a big grin. "Nearer than I thought? Or is this map a fake?"   Yoongi follows to find a one story farmhouse, the front gate standing tall and cozy and wide open as if expecting the visitors. There is a puppy with golden fur running around inside, and an elder woman is doing what looks like gardening—if poking the dirt with her finger is counted as such.    "Mama!" Hoseok calls loudly, and the woman looks up. Her smile grows so wide and she looks so happy. She waves back.    "Oh my, oh my, our Hope~!"   Hoseok runs to her and scoops her up in his arms. He swirls her around and they both chuckle. Yoongi watches the friendly interaction with somewhat envy feeling in his stomach. He wishes he had someone to run to and scoops up in his arms like that too.    "It's been so long!" The woman says, her smile is still imprinted on her face and her wrinkles fill the end of her eyes. She looks nothing less than 50 years old in normal human years. In Yoongi's years, she might pass for a few millenniums. "How are you, Hobi yah~?"   "I'm doing great. How about you? And Sehun? I miss you so much!"   "We're both fine. He's out of town with his grandpa. I miss you too, you have no idea, darling!"   Hoseok grins and the lady grins back. He then turns to Yoongi, as if he's finally realized there's another person standing there watching them.   "This is my friend Yoongi. He wants to have a look at the farm."   "Hello there," the woman extends her hand and Yoongi gently grabs it.  "Nice to meet you, but I'm just going to break the bad news."   "What is it?"   "Our animals have fallen ill. We can't let you in lest you contact the disease too. I'm sorry."   "Aww, mama, not even a glimpse?" Hoseok whines. The woman shakes her head with a sorry smile. "We've even come all the way."   "That's alright," Yoongi turns to Hoseok when he notices the woman look real
