Chapter Text
"I feel like I should get a haircut" taehyung said taking few strands of his hair.
"so do I" jungkook agreed mirroring Taehyung's actions. "there's berely hair on your head, what do you want to be bald or something?" mocked taehyung.
"watch your mouth before I teach you a lesson" jungkook waved his fist. " don't bother. the one responsible for our teaching is already here" minho announced as the footsteps became louder and soon yoongi entered the room.
On instinct, the first thing yoongi did upon entering the class is checking on the kid subtly before turning around. "y'all should start preparing for your finals. It's approaching" yoongi announced and continued his job.
"finals? So soon?" minho asked. "what soon? It's already year end. And, here I don't even know how I am gonna make it" jungkook sighed placing his head down on the desk.
"what about you, tae? Have you started your preparation for exams?" he asked looking at the boy who looked lost. "I am going to be killed by my father if I don't make it this year" taehyung sighed dramatically and lied next to jungkook looking at younger's face.
"don't say that. You need to pass this year or else I would kill you myself" jungkook threatened making taehyung smile. "I try my best jungkookie. I even did my best last year too but I just-" taehyung trailed down not knowing what to do.
"that won't happen this year, because now I am with you too. And, I'll make sure that both of us get promoted this year so that we won't be parted. Promise! !" he offered sticking his pinky finger and they locked their fingers with wide smiles on their faces.
Both of them jumped as they heard a loud thud on their desk. Looking up, taehyung found yoongi standing there glaring at him.
" don't take your eyes off of me" he said and Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. "when I am teaching and same goes for you too jungkook-shi" yoongi completed, walking away. Taehyung's eyes followed him.
Yoongi's fingers continued to fiddle with his sleeves. He was feeling oddly exposed today, and he wasn't sure if it was because him wearing only shirt with no extra layers or because of the pair of round eyes hawking at him.
It was a strange feeling which yoongi had after a long period of time. He was feeling embarrassed and conscious about his 'looks' rather than his disability.
'what is he even doing staring at me like that'. It was uncomfortable and impossible to concentrate while being stared on. But then again he was the one who asked him to not get his eyes of-yoongi cringed at the memory of saying those corny words.
' why did I even say it' he facepalmed inside his head.
The bell rang and slowly the class emptied except for two people. Jungkook tried to convince the older for a few minuted before running off leaving taehyung all alone.
Cautiously, yoongi took a few silent step towards the boy who was almost immersed in the art piece he was working on. Without saying anything yoongi took the seat in front of him looking at the drawing. The dwarfing was Almost like the wierd soulmate tattoo he had earlier.
"what is this?" yoongi asked out of curiosity.
Startled , taehyung looked at him with shocked eyes before their eyes met, and his sharp features softened.
"ah, its a snake?" taehyung answered making a snake figure with his hand.
"Why? Why are you drawing a snake?" yoongi didn't know what he wanted to hear by the boy exactly.
"I don't know, they're not even cute. Maybe, because they're easy to draw?" taehyung shrugged with a pout. Not satisfied with his own answer.
"or maybe because it reminds me of that snake!" taehyung came up with a better answer .
"that? Snake?" yoongi asked.
"ah, there was a snake which sneaked into my house on my fifth birthday. And wrapped around my leg! I was terrified!" taehyung stated excitedly.
"then? Did it harm you?" yoongi liked knowing a bit about the mysterious boy. Who seem like a totally different person from inside.
"No. Strangely it just stayed there for a second and left quietly. Sometimes, I feel like it came to meet me" taehyung exclaimed.
"you and your weird thinking. I could have been dangerous" yoongi shook his head.
"... Taehyung, this is not finished drawing, right?... Can you tell me what the remaining part look like? I mean, the missing part? What is it? It's colour? Or just anything about it?" yoongi had no idea what he was expecting as the answer.
He just knew that the art looked a lot like the tattoo he had. And, maybe somewhere he expected taehyung to know what the missing part is. But the confused look on Taehyung's face told clearly how his expectation was baseless.
"I... Don't know hyung. Maybe, something? I feel like I don't know what to do next" taehyung said looking at the incomplete artwork.
Something broke inside yoongi. Of course, what was he expecting. Moreover , he did not even remember the tattoo himself. Maybe, its just in his head and the drawing does not actually look like the tattoo.
"I am doomed" taehyung said closing the drawing book and slammed his head on the desk still looking at the older . yoongi gave him a questioning look.
"I don't know hyung but I don't think I'll be able to make it this year too" taehyung explained.
"have you even tried to study?" yoongi asked.
Taehyung pulled out a notebook from his bag and placed it on the table. "see! I tried studying but I just-can't do it! I don't know what to do any more!" he said in despair.
Yoongi looked at the notebook and then back at taehyung. "it's blank" he commented in disbelief and the latter nodded.
"fine, don't sulk now. I'll help you with your studies" yoongi simply stated placing the object back.
"you will!?" taehyung asked excitedly.
"yeah" yoongi confirmed with a nod.
"really?!" taehyung asked with shining eyes.
"yes" yoongi replied.
"are you sure hyung!?" again the same question with different set of words.
"huh?" yoongi asked confused.
"what?" taehyung mirrored his expressions.
"I told you I will help you already. Why are you asking me again and again?" yoongi asked sighing and taehyung finally calmed down.
Taehyung wanted to say 'thank you'. He really did but he has no idea when those words converted into "can i take you out?" before coming out of his mouth.
It caught yoongi off guard. His heart started pounding against his chest as if it would come out of his mouth any time soon. He looked at the guy sweating in front of him.
'add something to clarify yourself!' a voice inside him shouted. He knew how inappropriate it might have sounded. He really wanted to tell yoongi he wanted to buy him dinner as a 'thankyou'.
Closing his eyes shut he decided to speak those words before he heard Yoongi's voice. Not sure what yoongi said because his loud heartbeat managed to overpower Yoongi's timid voice.
"yes?" taehyung asked looking at yoongi. Trying to know what he said.
"I said okay. I'll allow you to take me out" yoongi said, his lips getting dry with each word he said. He wore a teasing smirk to mask that stupid smile.
"let's go!" yoongi announced to avoid the awkward situation and he started walking until a bunch of fingers wrapped around his wrist stopping him.
"not today hyung! Tomorrow! I'll pick you up from your place" taehyung said remembering how messy his hair was at that moment. And there was no way he would look like that on their first 'date'.
"pick m-? No no, that would be too much. Just let me know where you want to go I'll be there tomorrow" yoongi suggested.
"No! I'll pick you up. Please hyung ~" taehyung requested and Yoongi's cheeks turned the lightest shade of pink. And he nodded screeching the back of his neck and realised that taehyung was still holding his hand making him a shade darker.
Maybe. His face was too honest for taehyung to realist that too. He let go his hand and bowed as an apology.
"you don't know my address" yoongi said clearing his throat. Taehyung looked at him.
"let's go I'll tell you where I live" yoongi said exiting the room quickly and taehyung collected his stuffs before following yoongi with a giddy smile.
They walked for few minutes after getting off the bus before yoongi stopped, looking at taehyung he informed "here, this is where I live" pointing at a building.
"oh" taehyung said looking around trying to remember the location.
"come inside" yoongi offered.
"No, hyung next time! I'll pick you up tomorrow around 4!"taehyung announced waving his hand before he ran off.
Yoongi stood there looking at him leave before he decided to go inside. His phone rang and yoongi picked it up greeting "yes hobi" he said entering the building.
