A Dream Apart|TK

2. late

taehyung's hands were sweating when he was in front of the door to his classroom. in this room, waiting for him are his best friend, his classmates and his teacher. or his brother-in-law.

mr. kim— namjoon was taehyung's elder brother's mate. they married a year ago and namjoon moved to seoul. he was a teacher back in ilsan— a really good one— so it was easy for him to find a place as a teacher in seoul too.

but taehyung didn't expect him to get a job at his school.

he and the alpha are in cool terms though, taehyung loves namjoon, he is just like another brother to him. but the fact that he is his teacher and married to his brother scares him.

because, when taehyung is late, seokjin will know. means no meeting with jimin and he'll get grounded.

taehyung groaned lowly and then knocked. he heard a faint come in from namjoon and sighed, opening the door. "i'm sorry that i'm late nam— mr. kim. the bus didn't..." he trailed off but stopped, when the older already crossed his arms, looking at him with a sternly raised eyebrow.

namjoon didn't believe him first, but looking at his wet hair and soaked clothes, he guesses taehyung came by feet. so he really didn't take the bus.

taehyung looked down, playing with his feet. "it's okay, just sit and pay attention."

"thank you sir." taehyung whispered and while passing him, invisible for other atudents, he stuck his tongue out at the older. namjoon shook his head, a small smile forming on his lips.

no one can stay mad at taehyung.

the omega went to sit next to his best friend, who squealed and hugged him.
"you are late again." oops. forgot to mention— taehyung being late happened already five times this month. this month. he oversleeps a lot, due to the dreams, he never hears his phone ringing for him to wake up. that's how real this dreams feel.

"guess why." taehyung chuckled and jimin pretended to think. "hmm, your prince visited you in your dream again."

taehyung sighed. "that too, but there was some electrical error in the bus and i had to leave the bus and go by feet." he pouted. "and yeah, i dreamed about him again. i still don't know how he looks like though." he pouted and jimin looked at him in pity.

both omegas know, taehyung fell in love with that person. wether he knows the face or not, the personality is what counts in the omega's eyes. it is just like falling in love with a fictional character of your favourite anime. the difference is, taehyung can also feel how it is to be loved back.

because in his dreams, him and that alpha are deeply in love. in the beginning it confused him— the dreams confused him, because they felt just so real. soon he got used to it though. he felt like living two lives, one where he is taehyung, the omega in school and the other where he is taehyung, the omega loved by a strong alpha.

oh how much he wished that he could keep living in his dreams. but that's what dreams are. stupid imaginations your subconscious made for you.

"babe, i'll say it again— that alpha is your mate."

taehyung snorted. "i wish he was, but this isn't a fairytale, chim. he doesn't even exist in real life, how can he be my mate? aaaaand i love no one to be my mate yet."

jimin smirked. "oh bub, there's something called fated mates, what happens then?"

"are you seriously saying he's my fated mate? fated mates don't exist, chim. this is nothing more than a myth, my lovely best friend."
