"Me?"

"Yeah, just to work on that second last mission? The one carrying the blocks?"

"Sure-- I mean, now?" Yoongi shrugged and nodded, fixing his cutches. Tae smiled. "Yeah, I can come-- let me tell Hoseok hyung first."

"I'll get going-- Park's getting the keys. Meet you in the library."

Tae nodded and Yoongi hobbled off, leaving him alone. After letting Hoseok know he was off to work on his robot, Tae left, thrilled Yoongi asked him to help.

There were many people from the team that had come to the dance also. For Yoongi, who was obviously the best programmer and who'd worked on the robot the most, to ask Tae to help out? It was really an honour.

"Min?"

"Yeah." Tae pushed the door open and rolled up the sleeves of his suit, heading right over to get to work. "I'm just running through all of them first."

"Are you going to be doing it tomorrow?" 

Yoongi shrugged, not bothering to look up. "Hope so."

"Cool."

They worked in silence for a moment, just speaking to pass over the controls. "Are you looking to get into the university downtown?" Yoongi asked. Tae looked up.

"Which one?"

"The one with the really good comp sci program?"

Tae shrugged and nodded. "I think so-- my dad said that one's a good school." Yoongi nodded. "You?"

"Yeah."

"I was thinking of applying out of country t--" Tae's heart raced a little as his phone buzzed in his pocket. What if they'd been caught and you were calling him to warn him?

When he saw the name that flashed on his screen though, his heart sped up further. "You gonna get that?" Yoongi asked

"Ye-yeah-- gimme a sec." Tae stepped away a little and hit the green button. "Hello?"

"He-hey? Tae?"

"Yeah," Tae sighed. "Wha-what's up?"

"I need your help, Tae." It sounded like t/ex was crying. "Her heart monitor is going crazy and I can't tell if it's bro-broken or not because she sounds okay but I'm really scared."

"Oh-- oh--"

"Can you come? I need a ride to the hosp--hospital--"

"Yeah, okay, I'll be there in a minute." Yoongi looked up, eyebrows raised as Tae ended the call, coming over to grab his coat. "I need to go, Min."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah-- my girlfriend needs something." Yoongi nodded slowly. "It's not-- it's not something stupid," he said quickly, reading the look on Yoongi's face. Yoongi looked up again. "Her grandma's pretty sick-- she needs a ride to the hospital."

"Oh." Tae nodded and without another word, ran out of the library to his car.

By the time he got to t/ex's house, she was already outside, pacing around. She looked up from her porch and gasped, running over as he pulled into her driveway.

"Tae!"

"Hey--" He got out of his car, phone in hand. "Where is she?"

"She's inside-- she can't walk well. Should I get her wheelchair?"
