"Woah!"Taehyung was astounded, the sight he was offered was not of any house, it was literally a MANSION. Mansion would be an understatement, it was a freaking palace. And well, don't judge Taehyung, it perhaps was his first time, seeing a mansion up close, and trust me although he is a dead rock when it comes to fantasies, he couldn't help but think it as some kind of a fantasy, including a prince who comes as a knight in shining armor and protects the lost princess. He just believed himself to be the prince and Jungkook the princess, or wait was it the other way round? No ways, Jungkook could and would never be someone's fantasized prince, he looks like one but is definitely not, and anyways he best suits a role for one of those annoying lame nightmar(ish) horror stories, based up off no grounds and always ends on some rituals worsening the case furthermore, yikes let me not talk about that!  Of course I'd be the prince between us! Oh wait! What the hell am I thinking? Taehyung blushed deep red, and if you asked why, Taehyung wouldn't know, there seems to be lot of things happening around nowadays without Taehyung knowing the main reason why. Anyways, yeah the main topic! The house! It was amazing, the chic and lush garden, the stone graveled road which led to the main entrance, which was holly molly damn! The three storeyed house was something Taehyung had only seen from afar, like really really far. And seeing one of the biggest ones, he was completely awestruck. Jungkook must live a luxurious life! Taehyung thought.

"Like what you see?" Jungkook teased, the look on Taehyung's face, mouth wide agape with shock, eyes shimmering with light, blank yet such profound expression , it was something that only Taehyung could've pulled off, and Jungkook thought it was cute, he would've never admitted it though.

Taehyung replied with just a nod, the blank and mesmerized expression never leaving his face. 

"What are you waiting for? Come on! Don't fantasize too much, it's real" Jungkook said, exactly answering the doubt that was growing on in Taehyung's mind. 

Taehyung followed Jungkook through the lush green garden. It was truly a heavenly place. When he reached the front gate and Jungkook opened the doors for him, he was too anxious to step in. The feeling of awkwardness attacked his mind and he wondered if he should really enter the place or not!

"Come on! Are you frozen now? Do you want me to carry you!" Jungkook teased, because really with the look that Taehyung had on his face, he couldn't help but tease him.

"W-what o-oh n-no!"

"Oh come on princess, fast!" 

Can he read my mind?

"Oh what are you thinking! Come in fast or else both of us will freeze to death!!!" Jungkook managed to pull Taehyung inside, abruptly but he did and as soon as he did he locked the doors and went up the stairs. A moment later, when he reached the room, he felt the apprehension of someone's absence. Oh Taehyung!  He rushed downstairs, but what he saw later was really fascinating!

He didn't know Taehyung observing the room with such delight would be the best thing that he has ever seen and he would ever want to see. He didn't want to disturb Taehyung and wanted him to carry on the whole Oh-I-am-in-a-palace-and-this-is-all-a-reality thing. But well Karma! He just had to trip on the stairs and come tumbling down! 

"Ow! SHIT!!" He let out a groan!

"Hey you alright?" Taehyung moved out to Jungkook's aid as soon as he heard the thud sound signalling of someone's fall. "Yeah, oh shit NO!" , came the reply and that was enough for Taehyung to dash off, with concern and worry itching his body.

Jungkook was laying down, he had had a pretty dreadful fall. Taehyung rushed forward to carry him up. "Hey is it really bad?" He asked, the solemn and sincere feeling of concern never leaving. 
"Yeah I don't know" Jungkook answered, as coherently as he could, because no matter how much he tried to hide away the tinge of pain shooting up his body from his ankle, he couldn't, and trust me the hurt and pain was evident in his voice. And Taehyung was not dumb because, "Come on! I will help you up! Is it hurting too much?"

"No, ah! M-maybe! Maybe I sprained my ankle!"

Taehyung assisted Jungkook on his way up the stairs, and into his room, and laid him on the bed. 

"Here stay, I'll bring some ice pack. Are there some on the fridge?"

"Yes probably"

"Okay lemme go check!" 

Taehyung returned back with handful of ice packs a moment later.

"It's just a sprain you know, I am all ri-- ow!" Jungkook said, while standing up so that he could prove that he was alright and there was nothing to worry about, but as soon as he stood up, he fell back down, damn did he really fall that bad.

"No your not! And could you not be odious for a while and just lay down! Let me take care of you!" And with that said, Jungkook blushed deep red, he doesn't know why, but Taehyung's words did succeed to bring a pang of warmth in his heart. 

Growing up, Jungkook had lost his mom, it was not the most pleasant childhood he could've asked for. Sure he had his dad and money and everything that a child could've asked for. He had grown up basking on the sunshine of his dad's earnings. But he always was an introverted person, always keeping things to himself. Till eight, when his mother was still alive and breathing, he was just a child, as childish as anyone could be. But after she died of cancer, he had lost his childish nature, he locked himself up for days, inside a room, never came out. Like many of you might've thought that after his mother's death, his dad might have changed, you know, abusive and all. But no, he didn't, he kept strong for Jungkook, didn't even shed a tear, well at least in front of Jungkook, no matter how hurt and anguished he was. And that is why Jungkook loves his dad, a lot! But it was not Mr. Jeon's fault for not knowing how to rear up a child. Don't blame him for being a single parent, who didn't know much about a child's feeling! It was on his onus to rear up a child, and he did as best he could, but he should not be declared guilty for not having the proper knowledge as to how. All this time, he thought giving Jungkook everything he wanted was the way he could make Jungkook happy, and that was the reason why he would spend all his time in earning riches. But he wasn't the one to blame, for he didn't know what Jungkook wanted, it was not riches, it was not money, was not play stations or any games and materials, it didn't lie on some concrete, well built and expensive substance, it was something that is abstract, well hidden from the materialistic world, invisible on the eyes of the physical world, it was  love and care, something that could never be bought from riches, something that he never got from his father, because his father was too busy, striving to give Jungkook what he  thought he had wanted through money and gifts, but he never understood that Jungkook wasn't hungry for such things but he was desperate for love. And they say society shapes you up to be the one you are right now, the faith of an innocent child is on the hands of the society, the background and the environment where he is raised up. And due to the background he was raised up, profligate and extravagant, he became one too, arrogant and conceited.  A well off child can be  as depressed as a poor one, a poor child is just hungry, he wants and needs food, but a child like Jungkook, he is hungry for something that is indescribable.

And when Taehyung showed his worry, care with such sincerity, he couldn't help but feel happy, euphoria tic even. This was, after so long, the time he felt something so deep grow in his heart, and he couldn't help but stare at the later. Yes he had felt, a lot of times, that Taehyung was handsome, although a geek, he was stunning, but never till now had he been mesmerized by Taehyung. It was his smile, his eyes, everything that just seemed so perfect.

"Here is it okay now? You should rest for a while, I'll go make you something to eat!" And maybe there, he fell a little for the guy with big glasses, the guy with the most beautifully surreal smile, he fell for a geek, A Geek Charming indeed.
