Taehyung’s POV 

Jimin Hyung, me and Jungkook decided to start our investigation. This festival is perfect, we could just pull off our favorite cover. It’s easy, we could pretend that we’re just drinking the night away ignoring all our responsibilities. Plus, every bit of information slips into anyone’s mouth when they’re drunk. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. Luckily, Jungkook and Jimin Hyung were really strong drinkers. As for me? Not so much! 

As soon as we stepped outside the hwarang house we felt someone else’s presence. The spies are here! Thus, we start the facade. They never left us, they’ve been watching us for hours now and I’m beginning to be annoyed. I cannot drink anymore or else I’ll be really drunk this time. We already heard few rumors from the locals but we still need to validate if it could be used as an important information or if it’s even true. 

After hours and hours of pretending, the spies got tired also and left. We gathered numerous amounts of rumors. I hope this could be useful. I didn’t sacrificed my welfare for an unsuccessful investigation. My head sort of hurts, the backlash of alcohol is kicking in. 

•Flashback•

"Wooooow! Jungkook it felt just as it was before! It was so small like when we were children" I said feeling like a genius. Of course we’re all acting out but to be honest I’m feeling kind of drunk now. 

"Yaaaa! Stop it! When did your hands even grew this big?!" Jimin said.

They continue on bickering. You know, bickering is the best way to annoy those spies. I’ll say few more fake fights and they’re gone. 

While making our “way home” (of course we’re just pretending). We’re going to do an extensive investigation the second the spies disappear and stopped following us. Damn! My head is aching a bit. I held my head slowly and saw Yoongi hyung running fast in my peripheral vision. 

"Oh Yoongi hyung?" I said rather loud than I expected. 

Jimin and Jungkook didn’t heard me and continued to bicker. 

I observed the person trying to verify if it was really him. Hmmmm it was really hyung but what is odd is that he was wearing a female's hanbok and ?! With a longer hair?! Whaaaaaaat!

"Guys why is Yoongi hyung wearing a female's hanbok?" My words slurred, slightly from the alcohol but mainly from shock? I don’t know. But that’s him right? I can never forget those pale complexion, sharp eyes, thin lips and button nose. If I’m gonna be honest, he’s the most beautiful young maiden I ever saw. If that’s even possible. He makes a fine young lady. 

"Hyung that's okay you're just drunk" Jungkook said. He must’ve thought I am still pretending and just decided to say random things. Well, I couldn’t blame him. That’s what I have been doing for the past few hours. To make them believe that I’m drunk. But this time it’s real! I saw what I saw! 

"Oh right I am!" I simply said. Thinking Jungkook wouldn’t believe what I am saying now. Still not leaving Yoongi hyung in a hanbok with long hair. I just stared at him. Then it hits me. Oh right he crossdresses sometimes. When we were really young I caught him crossdressing when we were playing hide and seek. I really think that it was so witty of him to think of that as a young child. Thinking about it now, he must’ve been starting his investigation also. But where is Seokjin hyung? Shouldn’t he be with Yoongi hyung? Hahaha! Does that mean Seokjin hyung was crossdressing also? 

"BUT ARE WE REALLY GOING HOME?! WHO'S IN FOR THE NEXT STOP? I HEARD THERE WAS A REALLY GOOD RESTAURANT SERVING GOOD RICE WINE NEAR THIS PLACE" Jimin shouted. 

"I'M IIIIIN" both Taehyung and Jungkook exclaimed 

"LET'S GET IT!" Jungkook screamed while we were still walking hand in hand. Jungkook hates this idea but what do you know it worked wonders. Jungkook will definitely kill us later. And with that the spies totally left us alone. 

•End of flashback•

Oh right, Yoongi hyung ... one of these days I’m definitely gonna . Suddenly I felt an excruciating pain in my head. Oh no! I have to get away from them. Jungkook and Jimin Hyung cannot see me like this. The spies were gone so I couldn’t blew up our cover now. I... argh! It hurts like hell! I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol that is making it worse or what but I am definitely in pain right now. I have to get away. They shouldn’t know. I won’t let them. I straighten up and did my best to act as normal as possible. 

“Jimin hyung! Can I excuse myself for a second? I think I- I ... saw someone I know!” I said smiling slightly. I wish they would believe me and let me go immediately. I don’t think I can keep on pretending any longer. 

“We’ll go with you Tae! Just to make sure you’ll be safe. You’ll never know when those leeches decided to jump out at you.” Jimin hyung said trying to grab my wrist. 

Without thinking I pulled my hand with such a force before he could even reach my wrist. My vision suddenly became blurry. 

“IT’S A GIRL ALRIGHT?!” I finally shouted. I’m sorry Jimin hyung but I cant hold on any longer. I saw Jimin hyung’s shocked face. He might never thought I would raise my voice over him but I have no choice. I feel guilty so I added saying “Aish you’re only going to embarrass me if we went together” hopefully it would make it seem less harsh. 

“YAAAA! JIMIN HYUNG! TAE HYUNG’S AFRAID WE MIGHT STEAL THE GIRL! With these killer looks everyone is going to be shaking. You might steal his possible love. Let him go! He’s a grown man already.” Jungkook said patting Jimin hyung’s shoulders. I never expect Kookie to side with me, it’s weird but I will be forever thankful for this. I can’t think much right now because of the pain I’m feeling, it’s almost unbearable now. I feel like my head is about to rip off. 

“Eeeyyy! You could’ve just told me earlier! Go! Go now or I’ll beat your out if I change my mind! Go!” Jimin hyung said slightly chuckling. He’s so precious I don’t deserve him. 

“Hehe! I’m sorry I’m cutting our trip short but love shouldn’t wait you know! Got to go! See you at home guys! I love youuuuu” i said slightly acting cute with a peace sign. I’m sorry hyung. I’m sorry kookie. But you guys can’t see me like this. I hurried walking almost like running into the streets trying to find a place where no one can go. I went into the forest to go to the abandoned watermill. I looked back and forth and search if someone is following me. I doubled checked and there’s no one. Before I could even go inside the pain strikes again. This time random scenes were flashing in my mind. Arghhhhh! I’m not sure if these were my memories or just my dreams. I don’t know what is happening. I only know the pain and how bad it hurts. I screamed again while clutching my head wanting the pain to stop. Tears were already flowing from my eyes. Thread of memories of some people calling someone Hansung and why am I seeing the young version of my father? And was that uncle dogbird? I don’t understand. Uhhhh! The pain is getting worse every second. A twig snapped and I froze. Someone is there. I don’t think I can handle them. Oh god not now. I’m quite open and I don’t think I can even defend myself. 

I slowly turned. I’m on the verge of passing out when the person spoke. “Oh god are you okay?! What is happening?!” The person hurriedly catches me when I’m about to fall down. Our faces we’re just inches away from each other but my vision is really blurry now. Those pale complexion, sharp eyes, thin lips and button nose I get this familiar feeling but I couldn’t lay my fingers on it due to the pain. The person has been what it seem, shouting... but I couldn’t hear anything. Everything is a blur and any sound is blocked. “Wake up! Wake up Tae! Please wake up!” One more glance to the stranger and I passed out. 

~~~ 

“YOONGI HYUNG!!!!” I woke up with a deep gasp and shouting the prince’s name. I feel like I’m moving and in some else’s back. 

“Sorry to disappoint you but not Yoongi hyung. I’m carrying you” Jungkook said. 

What? Jungkook? How did he? What happened? I can’t remember anything. Oh no did they see me in pain? Please, please I hope they didn’t. I don’t want to worry them. 

“What ha-“ I’m about to ask Jungkook what happened when he cuts me. 

“Yoongi hyung saw you, passed out because you got really drunk. End of story” Jungkook said uninterestingly. He’s still carrying me on his back. 

“But how did you-” I wanted to ask him how did he know but I was cut again by Jungkook. 

“I wanted to see that young lady of yours but I saw you with Yoongi hyung instead.” Jungkook said. Does this mean Yoongi saw everything? 

“He said you were too drunk that you passed out.” Jungkook said shrugging off every question. 

“How about Ji-“ again he cut me for the third time.

“Jimin hyung ran across his informant, Taemin hyung, and decided to disclose the information somewhere else, leaving me to wonder off alone. I got curious about your young lady and decided to bug you instead.”  Jungkook said monotonously. For a second I thought he was worried. I was relieved that it is possible that they saw nothing but I have to talk with Yoongi hyung at what really happened. 

“Also, hyung...” Jungkook began to spoke, still carrying me on his back. I just hummed to let him know that I am listening. 

“I ... uhmm ... I... I’m sorry that the beautiful lady that caught your eye was actually Yoongi hyung.” He chuckled a bit “Honestly, Yoongi hyung looked ... b-beautiful in those hanboks” Jungkook said struggling to find right words. 

“OH GOD KOOKIE YOU SAW THAT TOO?! I THOUGHT YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE ME SINCE  I KEEP ON SAYING RANDOM THINGS BECAUSE I WAS DRUNK AND AL-”  I was too shocked and a little excited? I don’t know. 

“Hyung what are you talking about?” Jungkook asked. “Don’t you remember who’s the last person you’re with?” He asked again. 

Oh no. I can’t tell him that I couldn’t make up who it is. But how did Yoongi hyung found me? There’s a slim chance that he was just passing by and be like ‘oh tae it’s you!’. 

“I ... uhm ... can’t rememb- oh wait!” Memories from last night began to flash on my head. 

•Flashback•

I slowly turned. I’m on the verge of passing out when the person spoke. “Oh god are you okay?! What is happening?!” The person hurriedly catches me when I’m about to fall down. Our faces we’re just inches away from each other but my vision is really blurry now. Those pale complexion, sharp eyes, thin lips and button nose I get this familiar feeling but I couldn’t lay my fingers on it due to the pain. The person has been what it seem, shouting... but I couldn’t hear anything. Everything is a blur and any sound is blocked. “Wake up! Wake up Tae! Please wake up!” One more glance to the stranger and I passed out. 

•end of flashback• 

“What?! That’s why he felt so familiar! It was Yoongi hyung! Wait WHAT?!” I almost screamed not believing my own memories. But what shocked me the most is that I didn’t even recognized him when I should have. 

“Yeah yeah! Please don’t tell anyone hyung or else we’re dead meat! Yoongi hyung would never forgive us.” Jungkook said. 

“Why is he-” I asked him feeling like Jungkook would’ve guess my question though.

“Crossdressing? Something to do with the investigation. Just please don’t tell anyone. NOT EVEN SEOKJIN HYUNG.” Jungkook said. 

The whole walk was quiet after that. Jungkook carried me up into our house. He refused to let me walk. Saying that if I forced myself, it would’ve cause more serious injury. I wondered what is going on with Jungkook’s head. It’s making me worry. He keeps on acting in a very unusual manner. I promise I’m going to ask Yoongi tomorrow but for now I’m just going to let the wind cradle me into sleep, in the arms of our youngest. Jungkook’s anterior must’ve been cold but I can never explain how warm and sweet he truly is. Especially now. I am thankful for him. I really am. Even just for a moment, I felt all the pain disappeared. As if I had someone to share my pain with. Someone who looked out for me. Someone who lifts all the burdens without me not even knowing all his good deeds. Someone like our maknae line. Someone who is named “Jeon Jungkook!”
