Work Text:
Creep past the hours like the shorter hand on the clock
Hanging on a wall of a schoolhouse somewhere
We wait for the bell
And we dream of somewhere else
-Paramore, Daydreaming
"Class dismissed. Don't forget your assignment!" All students groaned but nodded their heads, nothing else to do. Seokjin smiles and goes back to the teacher's desk, arranging the pop quizzes of today's Home Eco. From the corner of his eye, Seokjin could see a student writing something. It was Yoongi.
Seokjin takes a deep breathe. "Yoongi, aren't you going to eat?"
Yoongi shakes head and looks at Seokjin, raising a piece of paper in his hands. "I'm writing a recipe. It's for Seokkie and I'm gonna make it later!" He pipes up, and Seokjin grins. "Can I see?" the young boy nods and goes over to Seokjin's desk, sliding the piece of paper on his mahogany desk.
"I'm making apple pie! Grandma taught me back in Daegu, but I'm still remembering it... Is it okay, songsaenim?" Yoongi timidly asks, and Seokjin chuckles, ruffling Yoongi's light blonde hair. "I'm sure Hope-sshi will appreciate this, Yoongi."

"Achoo!"
Hoseok sneezes, and rubs his nose. Kim Namjoon turns around and narrows his eyes at Hoseok. "Mr. Jung, manners." Hoseok snorts and mumbles something under his breathe. Namjoon sighs and continues to write on the whiteboard, focusing.
"This is quadrilateral LKJI. If segment LT is equals to 3x-14 and segment KJ is equals to x+10, what is segment LI?" A bunch of numbers are written on the board. "...Our x is 12, so in order to find the value of segment LI, we must substitute 12 with the x in segment KJ's equation. Why? As stated from the properties of quadrilaterals, a quadrilateral has two opposite sides that are congruent, thus if segment KJ is equal to 22 after substituting the x, then segment LI is equals to 22."
The bell rings, and the students cry out in joy. Hoseok yawns and Namjoon frowns. "Mr. Jung," Namjoon calls out sternly and Hoseok turns to look at his teacher, tired eyes.
"Yes, songsaenim?"
"...How is Seokjin?"
Hoseok lets out a laugh and his angelic smile is appearing. "I swear you're whipped for him, teacher. Yoongi says Seokjin-hyung is doing fine, but he's overloaded so any hopes of a date with him will be impossible," Hoseok smirks and Namjoon blushes. "I-I do not have any plans to date him!"
"Say what you want, songsaenim. God, I swear both of you are stupidly in love with each other. Just fucking confess, damn it. Stupid old geezers..." Hoseok mumbles and grabs his book bag and exits the classroom, yawning. Namjoon slumps on his chair, heart beating fast. Did Seokjin also love him? Couldn't be right? Seokjin is beautiful, talented, gorgeous, smart and everything Namjoon wishes in a partner. While Namjoon is a dork, a nerd and an untidy person.
No, no. I'm sure Hoseok is bullshitting. He's fucking known for spouting bullshit everytime.
A small, timid knock disturbs Namjoon in his thoughts and looks over at the door, seeing Park Jimin, their new English teacher leaning on the door frame. "Care to get some lunch, Mr. Kim?"
~*~
"Wait, wait what lunch? I still have work to do, Yoongi!" Seokjin exclaims while Yoongi pulls him out of the gates, running. Yoongi doesn't say anything and continues running, a smile gracing his face. Seokjin sighs and lets himself be dragged. A lunch out of the school cafeteria wouldn't be bad, he thinks but the consequences of being seen outside school hours will ruin his reputation.
They stop in front of a restaurant. A soup restaurant.
Yoongi opens the door and Seokjin gasps softly as he spots Hoseok, Jimin and Namjoon-- Namjoon -- sitting in one table. And god could this day be better. Yoongi pulls him to the table where the three were at and Seokjin flusters as Namjoon smiles at him with his cute dimples. Jimin and Hoseok snort together and Yoongi grins, making Seokjin sit down on the chair beside Namjoon while he sat at the end of the table. A waiter smiles at them as he readies his notepad.
"So, I'll order chunky vegetable beef barley soup," Yoongi says.
Jimin flips the menu and whispers to Hoseok. Hoseok nods. "We'll have clam chowder. How 'bout you old geezers?" Hoseok teases and Namjoon directs a glare at him. Seokjin chuckles. "Lovely words as always, Hoseok."
Namjoon looks at the menu intently. Some were expensive, and his palms were sweating. What if Seokjin thinks his choice of soup sucks? He can't have it, he'll have to stretch his wallet for soup. Meanwhile...
Seokjin gulps as he scans the menu. Would cream of mushroom be okay? Maybe he should go for chicken soup. Yeah, chicken soup sounds awesome.
"I'll get chicken soup."
Seokjin and Namjoon looks at each other and blushes. Hoseok snickers behind his palm and Jimin and Yoongi snorts. The waiter smiles a bit too knowingly and repeats their order before leaving their table. Seokjin feels his heart beat fast and Namjoon could feel a cold sweat run down his face. Hoseok and Jimin chatter among themselves, while Yoongi clings on Hoseok's biceps. Seokjin could see Jimin forcing a smile to Yoongi as Hoseok introduces him to Yoongi.
"And this is Jimin, Yoongi. He's my English teacher."
Yoongi looks at Jimin from head to toe. Jimin gulps and Yoongi gives him a stink eye. "Meh." Hoseok sighs and ruffles Yoongi's hair.
"Yoongi, he's nice--"
"B-But Seokkie!! He's gonna--"
Seokjin clears his throat and eyes the three of them. "The food's here, brats. Eat," Seokjin says, and Yoongi happily digs in his serving, forgetting the little stare-off he had with Jimin. Jimin doesn't say anything and continues to eat, while Hoseok rolls his eyes and eats.
They end and separate ways in complete silence.
~*~
A short beep wakes Seokjin from his nap. He became a light sleeper ever since he taught high school. It's 4:30 in the afternoon, four hours after the lunch incident. Seokjin opens his phone and smiles. It's a message from Namjoon.

"Seongsaenim?" A familiar voice pipes in, and Seokjin jumps, almost throwing away his expensive phone. He wills his blush to fade away and sits back down, flashing an apologetic smile to his student.
"Yes, Hyejin?"
"Um... I-I actually need help with the homework. I don't r-really understand it..."
