It was a new day, a new start. Taehyung as usual got up, did his routine and went down in the dining room for breakfast. His father having glass on the bridge of his nose. Reading newspaper like every rich person does. His mother preparing for them to eat.
He greeted them and took his seat. Eating their food having chats here and there. Taehyung being not that interested in the subject they're talking about.
Then going to the car, the driver already present there. The driver greeted him and the engine roared to life.
As soon as the car started taehyung went deep in his thoughts. Thoughts of 'what ifs' going through his mind. Like for example, 'what if he was born in different family', 'what if he was able to do what he loves' things like this crossed his mind.
It wasn't because his parents were like the typical villians from novels and movies we see. No, they were loving and caring. Spending time with him, traveling with him and all. But they unintentionally pressurize him.
How?
They want him to do what they feel is right for him but at the end will always say, 'do what you heart loves.' This was very absurd. Telling someone basically to do something you want and then guilt tripping them? Not cool.
And taehyung didn't like it. He didn't wanted to disappoint his parents. He wants them to be always proud of him. But seems like they always want him to do something across his limits. And that's why taehyung grew insecure.
He would always think that he's not enough. He feels that he will always disappoint people. And that he can never keep anyone happy.
Now who will tell him to not worry about it?
And that's why he likes how jungkook is unintentionally being patient with him. He will always respect his privacy but won't stop to show what he desires. He desires to understand the mysterious beauty named taehyung.
Whenever taehyung is thinking about everything in his life makes no sense, just then like light in darkness his thoughts drift away to jungkook. As if he's gripping on the thin rope of hope called jungkook. A rope to keep him sane and a reason to get up everyday.
His thoughts were cut off as the car came to a stop in front of the college gate.
He heaved a sigh and got out of the car after whispering a, 'thank you' to the driver. He closed the door and went to the college gate. Knowing that the driver will not drive away till he reaches there safely. Even when there was nothing to worry about.
He reached there and heard the car going away.
He lazily and zoned out walked towards his faculty. He like usual saw the board that had words imprinted boldly,
'Business faculty.'
A pure torture for taehyung. He just stared at the board. Remembering the days when he used to curse this very board in every language he knew. But now?
He feels nothing. Just numb.
After gazing at it for seconds he went inside. He walked straight into his class. Not waiting to have friends or talk with anyone. He went to his seat and opened some book he could study from.
Though he hated the subject, he needed the degree. And it wasn't like he was dumb to not understand anything. He was smart enough to do his work diligently.
Jungkook was in the same faculty as him. Business. But unlike taehyung, jungkook liked the subject. Since the start he was fascinated by it and wanted to it as his career.
Taehyung was doing his work when suddenly someone came to sit beside him. He didn't give a fuck. Not like he wanted to socialize. But snapped his neck to the side when he heard the chirpy voice,
"Hi taehyung. How are you?"
Beside him was none other than jungkook of course. Taehyung was shocked to the core. Though they were in same faculty and class. Jungkook never approached him. Why this change suddenly?
He was looking at jungkook with a look of daze. Which he came out pretty quickly and mumbled a,
"I'm fine. Thank you."
Jungkook didn't liked the reply. He pouted heavily. He wanted to start a conversation but the answer gave a clear answer of, 'I'm not interested.'
Atleast he replied though!
Taehyung looked at him through his peripheral vision and saw him pouting heavily. He had a ghost smile on his face. The younger's cuteness would be the death of him.
He subtly turned towards the other side and smiled widely. He wanted to giggle so bad but held it in.
The rest of the day he had at least a small smile on his lips.
Even while deciding which book to read he chose a happy or fluffy book.
Jungkook when he read the book was happy to see maybe... taehyung was happy because of... him?!
He also slept with a smile on his face. With his face reflecting solace and contentment.
