"Gguk, would you go to school with me every day? I want some support you know. I want company. In case of woojin is there." They were done with the assignment yet Taehyung refused to leave just yet. It's not like jeongguk was complaining at all.

"Yeah sure Hyung, I go alone regardless," Jeongguk said, settled on his study table.

"Yah, let's go to the library, I have to return a book. I almost forgot." Taehyung stood up from the bed, grabbed his hand taking him along.

"Are you taking me with you because you're worried about Woojin Hyung? Am I like your personal bodyguard now?" Jeongguk was grinning playfully, he allowed Taehyung to drag him wherever he wants.

"Shut up, that's just for school, I am taking you because you're my best friend and I want to spend time with you." Jeongguk would be lying if he said his heart didn't skip a beat. Taehyung went straight to his room. Taking Jeongguk with him.

It was his second time visiting taehyung's room, the first time wasn't pleasant and he didn't notice the strawberry scent, a sweet cologne of Taehyung. They combined perfectly. Jeongguk took a deep breath involuntarily.

From the next day, they walked to school together and Jeongguk decided he should make Taehyung feel beautiful, for which, he should be healthy, fresh-minded.

He suggested they could go jogging every morning, Taehyung accepted.

They were spending most of the time with eachother now, it was almost a week later they decided to play games together, last week was different, a good type of different, for both.

Jeongguk casually kept telling him how his fingers are long and beautiful, how uniquely beautiful his eyelids are, how his smile seems like a square, even his body hair; how his arm has beautiful hair, and how unique his 'TaeTae language' is.

Taehyung's own style of talking, his words, pronunciation, or lisps made his language special and Jeongguk had named it 'TaeTae language'.

He kept complimenting his random habits, actions and words, he would complement his way of walking, or how he places the back of his hand under his chin while talking. Or how he chews like a baby, or how his eyes grow bigger when he's curious.

How his lips form a pout while he's eating and his cheeks become puffy. Jeongguk noticed every details about him.

Taehyung started to feel like he mattered for Jeongguk, felt he can be himself while being with him.

Taehyung could wear whatever he wants, tight, pink, purple, short, oversized, whatever he wanted, he could eat with him without thinking about being fat, he can be his real self.

Still, he was not satisfied, he still thought he needed to lose some weight, Jeongguk was working on his insecurities about being ugly right now. He wanted him to realize how beautiful he utterly was.

His voice, his eyes, his moles, his hands, especially his elephant mole on his right arm. He uses to keep mentioning them, their beauty.

He remembers when Taehyung asked him if he has some special moles, except the one under his lip.

Jeongguk showed him his own elephant mole on his thigh. What Jeongguk failed to notice was how taehyung eyes lingered there for a unnecessarily long time.
