"Tae! This is wrong. You shouldn't do it like that!" You frowned as Taehyung stuck his tongue out at you saying, "I do not care! I want to do this that way!"
"The puzzle says otherwise!"
You frowned harder. He shook his head, "No. I do not listen to what the puzzle says."
"God."
You sighed as the scattered puzzle pieces lay all over the cafe table. Taehyung sat beside you, knowing well he was teasing you. 

You both decided to solve a puzzle but knowing how easy you were to fool, he decided he could try doing that with you. 

"You told me on the phone yesterday that you knew this! Now you're messing up." You sighed. He chuckled and said, "I was just teasing you, dumbo." 
"Whatever."
You moved away the wrong puzzle pieces, taking a sip of the drink as he smiled, admiring you. You noticed him and frowned asking, "What?"
"Nothing."
He shrugged, looking away. You smiled and said, "You're handsome." 
"Oh? W-What?"
He looked at you shyly, his cheeks flushed red. You smiled and looked away, doing your work. 

"What's your schedule today?"
"Hmm... nothing. I will go home and work on my recent art piece." 
"Does your father still act like that?" 
"Well... when did he not? He even barged into my room last night wanting to see if I even do anything but... yeah... I hid my work from him."
"When will you show him your talent?"
"Maybe...  one day when I'm ready." 

He tucked your loose hair strands behind your ear as you smiled a little. A sad smile. 

"You know, yesterday me and mom fought... she was so stressed. Taewoo's been acting reckless and Mom wants me to take care of him. I just told her I was busy and that it'd take some time to tutor him and discipline him. She suddenly lashed out." He shrugged as you held his hand, looking at him sipping his drink.
"But, yeah... we'll probably make up today. I want to talk to her about Taewoo. Maybe... gonna clear up some schedules too?" 
"Does Taewoo have art?"
You asked. Taehyung nodded and sighed, "He's worst at that one."

You smiled a little and said, "Should I tutor him in art?"
"Ah, that's okay! You don't have to... I mean, he's a douche at times these days. Teenage rebelling, I think."
"It's fine. He's nice to me... hopefully. I wanted to tutor someone about arts actually. It'd be my experience."
You said. He thought about it and said, "Only if you're free." 
"Alright!" 

A few days passed by and you were at Taehyung's house, tutoring Taewoo. Taehyung's mom expressed her gratitude and wanted to pay but you refused. This was just an act of love and gratitude, no money-making here. 

"Noona, you're so pretty. Are you really not dating my brother?" Taewoo asked in the middle of the sketch as you bit your bottom lip.
"I hear you, idiot!" Taehyung's deep voice came from the other room as TAewoo sighed.
"He's eavesdropping, petty." 
"I still hear you!" 

You smiled a little and said, "Thanks for the compliment." 
He shrugged with a grin and continued as you guided him through the pencil strokes. You taught him how to blend with a pencil and keep his hands firm during drawing. Almost 2 months passed by in this way and he surely learnt well.

"Taewoo. You drew so well." You smiled at the little boy in front of you. He grinned and said, "Of course, you taught me."
"Smooth with drawing and smoother with words,"
Taehyung whispered, sighing. You smiled at him and said, "Well, Taewoo. Let's be disciplined. Your brother's having a hard time with you, you know." 
"Whatever."
He sighed. You gave him a bar of chocolate which he gratefully accepted and walked out with Taehyung.
