Encoded in our DNA (A BTS Reverse Harem x OC story)

Bonus Chapter #7 - Neil

Author's Note: So consider this a belated BTS anniversary present. I honestly have had about half of this finished, but the second half was just eluding me.

You might all be asking. WTF? Who the fuck is Neil?

Well, just be patient. It will be answered toward the end, although I am pretty sure most of you, if not all of you, will catch on pretty fast.

Oh also, there are slight mentions of M/M sexual relations in this chapter. It's pretty minor, and toward the end. Which would also make it ever so slightly NSFW as well.

Neil age 3 - 1997

The toddler reached up to the sparkly item dangling from his grandma's right ear while she carried him to a room that was filled with her guests. Right before he could latch onto the shimmering item with his chubby little hand she stopped walking and turned her pretty smile down to him. "You must really like the earrings I am wearing today, Neil. Is it because of how shiny they are? Maybe how they sparkle?"

Now shiny and sparkle weren't words that the toddler completely understood. But, then his sweet grandmother asked him a much easier question; one he could more easily answer. "Do you think they are pretty?"

His mouth breaks out into a huge grin that puts his small baby teeth on full display, before nodding his little head to punctuate his sweet wonderment. "Pwetty gahmah."

Over the next couple years he grew to understand that any time lots of people would come to his grandparents' big house that his grandmother would always pull out the 'pretty sparklies.' Which is what he would continue to call them until shortly after his seventh birthday.

Neil age 5 - 1999

"Grandma!" A five year old Neil runs over to one of his two favorite people in the world after entering the large front doors. He couldn't help but be excited at the prospect of spending the weekend with the two of them while his parents go traveling to places unknown, leaving him behind.

His parents weren't really bad people, but they didn't play with him like his grandparents did. They were simply both two busy with their jobs and other ventures that he didn't fully understand.

Once he gets to his grandma, she kneels down so she can fully embrace him at his height level. "I've got an adventure planned for us to do together." She says once she pulls back to release his small body from her arms. She takes his small hand, and he looks up at her with immediate excitement shining bright from his eyes.

"An adventure?" His growing curiosity and enthusiasm has him repeating.

"We'll be going on a treasure hunt, but we need to first find clues to discover where the treasure could be hiding. We'll be doing that by playing games and doing other activities." She takes out a piece of paper she had tucked away in her pocket while guiding him to the kitchen. There they find a big clear square shaped plastic container filled with rice, and Neil is able to spy other items buried in it from the side closest to him. "Here we have to find the puzzle pieces buried in these grains of sand." She kneels closer to him once more and whispers. "Let's just pretend that the rice is sand." He smiles widely up at her before he climbs up on the chair to study the container more closely.

Neil notes that the couple of puzzle pieces he saw were letters of the alphabet. He pulls the first one out that isn't buried too deep under the grains of rice. "Now before placing the puzzle piece this note says you also have to name the letter you are holding as well as three words you know that begin with that letter. The clue won't be displayed to us until you finish." His grandmother pulled out a large notebook and filled it with the letters and the words he said out loud so he could start to connect the phonetic sounds with the spelling of each word.
