When My World Falls-JAEYONG

9 | normal

Taeyong immediately ran towards his department's building. He wasn't running because he's late. He wanted to find someone who apparently knows how to drive. Everything that he's doing right now is stupid, very stupid, but he does want to drive and go together with Jaehyun. It's very weird to other people but he has a big crush on the guy, for god's sake.

The boy snapped out of his thoughts which made feel flustered. He just made his way towards the classroom, barging in and good thing the professor wasn't inside. Taeyong made his way to his friend that was seated at the back, with his earphones on while he's on his phone.

"Johnny, you need to help me!"

The man flinched in surprise. It was because the boy said it suddenly and in a rush. Johnny could only raise an eyebrow at him as he removed his earphones out of his ears.

"Help? On where exactly?" the man asked.

Taeyong smiled sheepishly, "Driving."

"What? You're joking."

"Unfortunately, I'm not, John."

Johnny looked at him suspiciously. With his eyebrows knitted together, eyes wincing and his lips frowned. Taeyong knew his friend would react like this but Johnny would surely help him.

"Come on, Johnny. You haven't said no," the boy said, teasingly.

"Well, this might be your lucky day, Yong--"

Taeyong pouted and gave him pleading eyes, "Please, John? I really need it!"

"Why do you even need to drive? Your family does it for you," the man said, trying to get a reason from his friend.

"E-Exactly, I don't want to bother them anymore," Taeyong excused.

"Then why don't you just go to a driving school?"

The boy looked away, "It's...urgent?"

Johnny crossed his arms, "You're trying to impress someone, huh?"

The boy jolted, "I-I didn't say anything! And why would I want to impress someone?! Also, who do I want to impress? Absolutely, no one," he said confidently. He was pretending that Jaehyun wasn't in his mind.

"Uh-huh, he spoke to you already?" the man asked and went back to his phone, typing something.

"Who...?"

"We're going to act dumb now, Yong?"

Taeyong pouted with eyebrows furrowed, "I just want to make him feel that he's not helpless and actually has a person who wants to help him, genuinely."

"Took you long enough. Let's go," Johnny stood from his chair and grabbed his bag from his seat. Taeyong was just looking at him, still processing his friend's words, and made Johnny roll his eyes, "I don't want you to bump into things, okay? So, let's start early. The professor won't be attending today, I guess."

The boy's eyes sparkled as he let out a gasp and happily clapped. Taeyong skipped his way and walked beside Johnny. He looked like a kid who just got his favorite toy. He could possibly learn how to drive in just a few days. He was able to know the pedals and rears so he should be good. He should be easy to teach.
