Baby Daddy

Chapter 4

Taehyung had been glowing this past few days. Mrs Gong noticed that his eyes sparkled with happiness. He was more energetic than before. Ever since his parents' last argument that threw him in a slump, Mrs Gong didn't think she was ever going to see the shine in his eyes again but they were back and those eyes shone brighter than ever.

Even when his father spoke in his usual dull tone.

"Taehyung make sure you get your grades up. Do not do anything to tarnish the image of this family"

Taehyung had replied in an uncharacteristically vibrant voice. "Don't worry. I have it all under control" He had said.

His father was quite surprised with his tone. For as long as he could remember, Taehyung had never spoken to him normally. He always sounded rude, distant and cold.

Mr Kim cleared his throat a bit nervously.

"Mmh... that's fine. You may go now!" He said and returned to his phone but one eye was watching his son's bouncy steps as he left the house.

His wife passed by, her nose in the air.

"Yeobo, do you know why your son is so excited?"

But the woman didn't reply. She was ignoring him just as she had been this past week since their last argument. He berated himself for being the first one to speak to her when he had sworn not to do it.

He cursed under his breath and went back to focusing on his phone. Mrs Kim stood there looking at him for a minute. Without a word, she walked off.

"I'm glad to see you this happy" Mrs Gong said to Taehyung as he was about to enter his car.

"Really? I look happy?"

"Yes Tae! You're glowing!"

Taehyung's eyes shifted. She could tell he was thinking about something. He finally shook his head.

"I think you're right. I am happy"

He gave a smile before entering into his car and driving away. When he arrived at school, he headed straight to the class. As soon as he entered, his eyes met his. The other blushed and lowered his face. Taehyung chuckled to himself.

"Mr Kim, do you realise you're already late for the lecture? Why are you just standing there?"

Taehyung bowed his head. "Sorry maam"

He said and went to his seat which was behind Jimin. He watched the other, enjoying the sight of his beautiful black hair and fair skin from behind. Class ended and he watched Jimin gather up his things and head straight to the library. He wanted to play a prank on him so he waited for him at the corridor close to the library. As soon as Jimin appeared, he poked him in the stomach. Jimin nearly screamed but managed to hold himself back.

"What on Earth are you doing?"

"Pranking you!"

Jimin rolled his eyes. "I thought that we agreed not to be seen together in public"

He cautiously looked around. "There are many of your fangirls who hate seeing us together. They don't believe we're just friends which we really are"

Then he placed a hand on his hair wearing a pale face. "I don't want my hair to be dragged because of you"

Taehyung laughed. "Don't be ridiculous. None of that is going to happen"

He looked at Jimin. He really did look worried. His eyes cautiously roaming around them. Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let's go!"

He said. Their usual meeting point of study was at the rooftop. As soon as they settled down, Jimin brought out his books and began to tutor Taehyung. The first half, Taehyung was attentive but then the remaining half consisted of him staring at Jimin without shifting his gaze. Jimin tried to ignore his intense gaze but it didn't help.
