SEVENTEEN

Hoseok had reviewed all the rules about museum etiquette. Not to linger too long, not to take pictures with the flash of your camera on, not to eat food or be too loud.

The rest of the students seemed aware of these rules too, because as they approached the museum, they all quieted down.

The architecture of the exterior of the museum was brilliant. It really caught Hoseok's eyes. It sort of reminded Hoseok of the palace; it looked regal, in a way.

The group of students followed the teachers inside, where the teachers quietly said that they could explore the museum, but to meet back at the park across the street in two hours.

Taehyung took Hoseok over to this area with paintings. He whispered to Hoseok, "Hey, aren't these cool?"

They were cool. Hoseok couldn't imagine having that much talent in his hands. Taehyung, while he was extremely talented himself, still marveled at the paintings done by other people.

Hoseok took out his phone to take a few pictures of the pieces that caught his eye. The museum wasn't very full today, despite it being a Sunday.

He wasn't sure when he and Taehyung had split up exactly, but Taehyung returned eventually. He made his presence known by slipping a hand around Hoseok's waist, guiding him over to a sculpture.

"Look at this!" Taehyung whispered, excited. Seeing Taehyung so happy made Hoseok's heart swell. As he looked at the sculpture, he heard the small click of Taehyung's camera shutter.

They spent the rest of their time looking around. Technically, their time at the museum was supposed to last longer than this, but since the bus had broken down and they had to walk all the way here, their time had been cut short.

Hoseok got a few pictures of Taehyung posing next to some pieces. He watched the way Taehyung's eyes lit up everytime he saw a painting or sculpture he thought was cool.

Despite all the art in the room, Hoseok still found himself staring at Taehyung.

Eventually their time at the museum ran out, and Hoseok and Taehyung walked to the park across the street. Many of the students were already there, sitting on blankets or the curb of the sidewalk, eating and chatting.

When all of the students arrived at the park, Taehyung grinned widely. "I'll be right back, okay? Make sure you get a front row seat."

Hoseok was confused. Front row seat? But Taehyung had made his way to Mrs. Choi, and Hoseok watched as they talked between each other, Mrs. Choi smiling fondly at Taehyung, since he was probably her favorite student. Taehyung looked excited, and he began to open his violin case.

Mrs. Choi rounded up the students by clapping her hands. "Who wants to hear some violin?"

Taehyung was behind her, getting set up. The students saw this and cheered. Taehyung got a shy smile from the attention, and ducked his head.

Hoseok sat down on the grass, making sure he had a good view. He wanted to be able to see Taehyung's smile and hear his violin without anyone blocking his view.

Once everyone was properly seated, Taehyung gave a sheepish smile to them all. "This might sound a little awkward with no one backing me up, but, uh. . ."

Watching Taehyung get nervous was cute. One of his friends, Hoseok assumed, called out, "You got this, man!" Cheers followed and Taehyung's eyes lit up.

He raised his violin and put it underneath his chin. His right hand, holding the bow, came upwards, and he began to play.

It started off slowly, so Hoseok watched the way Taehyung's fingers moved along the strings, the way his eyes were closed. He swayed a little bit with the music, and the wind ruffled his hair as he played. Hoseok would be lying if he said he recognized the song, but it was pretty.
