His little month of vacation for the end of the school year was too, too, too long. He did not do much. He watched a lot of series, watched movies, tormented a lot of people practicing his trumpet, painted and slept on a shitty schedule because he will have to get used to getting up early again.

Through social media he saw Jimin having a nice vacation period with Jungkook, Hoseok and Yoongi went to Jeju Island for three weeks. They looked very happy, having fun and doing a thousand and one silly things within reach. Jimin invited him several times to go with them, Taehyung refused every time.

He wants to have Jimin as little as possible in his life. Let him stay away. To forget the closeness they have with each other and continue as just acquaintances at work. In the process, however, the opposite happens. He vaguely remembers in his childhood that friend now with a face and vibrant two-colored eyes.

How much they played and laughed together. Walking each other home, helping each other in class, having no one else in the world but them. Trivia, assorted nonsense, kid stuff in general. At the same time, there was one constant that kept repeating itself, and that was that he liked Jimin's eyes.

He liked his small hands.

He liked his full lips.

And he liked the way he purred every time he grabbed his face.

In the quest to rid himself of the very distinct sensations it provokes, he assumes that this is a usual impulse. That his self from fifteen years ago has taken over part of his consciousness and that's why he likes to see Jimin. It is not desire, expectation, longing, excitement, romance, no: it is nostalgia making chaos in its wake and nothing else.

For his total peace and quiet, he is an elementary school teacher. They spend less time together because they don't share spaces or class groups. It's easier to avoid him. He has to play dumb more often and that's it!

"Because of the good results from the previous school year, I have decided to have Jimin take Mrs. Eunji's place now that she has retired. The schedule is adjusted so that he can teach in the afternoon for high school students and in the morning for elementary students. Please be kind to him and welcome him!" announces Jin. Jimin greets with a bow and a smile. Hair fastened in a ponytail that leaves a couple of strands loose. Taehyung looks at him and...

Fuck my fucking life.

The welcome was very cheerful. After all, he's one of the few teachers or staff on campus who can boast of being friendly with everyone. Hoseok being one of them equally. Taehyung wants the earth to swallow him up. His idea just went down the drain. Jimin's space is quite far from his, but Taehyung has no doubt that Jimin will run into him multiple times throughout the student days.

Taehyung doubts he can handle teaching so many classes, but if he wants to risk it, no way. He'll end up quitting somewhere. He's sure of it. Or well, he was, however, Taehyung decided that he's done tempting fate with his speculations.

"Excuse me, Professor Taehyung do you have any chalk? Professor Jimin ran out of any."

"Take these to him." Taehyung tends the box to the retreating student. Taehyung returns his attention to his book. It's time for an activity so he doesn't need to pay so much attention to the students. Out of curiosity he decides to step out for a moment. See how Jimin is doing in his high level classes.

Taehyung thought Jimin would give up soon, but he seems to be doing well after a week. He has heard the whispers from the student body regarding him. They mention that he gets to be a bit scary, that he is very strict, but explains so well that it is almost a crime not to do what he asks because they don't understand it, just being very complicated and complex. They also highlight him as being one of the easiest teachers to deal with when in doubt and being nicknamed the "Fluffy Teachers" because of the hair, species and general appearance.

Taehyung peeks into the classroom and notices a long text on the board, the Omega dedicated to giving his explanation. So far he hadn't noticed, but as he explains he holds his tail very still and his ears twitch ever so slightly, pupils constricted watching the attention of everyone in the room. Taehyung is relieved that there are no issues regarding caste. Very few teachers are high school Omegas. Usually left for preschool and elementary school, at those ages there is no question of caste. The story is different in adolescence: crazy hormones, superiority, absurd ideas typical of adolescence.

Taehyung leaves quietly and without the teacher noticing. He goes back to his classroom and resumes what he was doing. Unnoticed by the immersion, the students pass papers to each other.

I bet twenty thousand won that he went to see Jimin sonsengnim.

The other day I saw Jimin sonsengnim making out with the principal.
I don't think he's that slutty to hang out with both of them!!!

Sure he is. He's a Ragdoll, they're loose ass.

I am loose ass if I have Taehyung sonsengnim
and Jin-nim for options ಥ‿ಥ

There are no flaws in that logic ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.

He would look cuter with Taehyung sonsengnim.
Both of them are so cute.

Shit, I'm looking forward to fuck Jimin sonsengnim.
Where do I sign to get it?

The bell rings and they start to arrange the tables back to their places. Taehyung gives a brief indication to the task at hand. The small group discreetly tosses the papers away. More than once Taehyung has noticed them discarding messages on notebook papers. It has been horribly embarrassing.

"Taehyung-sonsengnim, here, thank you very much for lending them to me." Jimin holds out the box of chalk and Taehyung nods without looking at him. A pair of Alphas elbow each other, convinced that this is a sign that if something happens between them.

Jimin gives a short sigh, watching Taehyung teach his class. He has this hour free, wanted to arrange a couple of things and in the process stood admiring Taehyung from outside. Truth be told, it's no wonder half the student population is in love with him. It's impossible not to be with how tender he can be and how elegant he is as a rule. It's very curious how someone with such a head of hair manages to be like that. Jimin's tail waves eagerly and his ears flop gently.

Taehyung is a dreamy, perfect Alpha; how much he wish could move forward with him, yet Taehyung is avoiding him. That much is very clear. At least he's doing it discreetly so he doesn't feel so bad, but not bad enough. Jimin understands that not everyone likes him, the difference with Taehyung is that he seems to be doing it to totally drive him out of existence and why, why after so much? It doesn't make sense.

He also carries himself "close" when they coincide. His body language and scent is an inviting one. It seduces him to approach, not walk away. Everything about Taehyung says yes, then a couple of little things say no. It's lean and depressing.

"Jimin-sonsengnim, is something wrong?"

"No, nothing. Uh... I'll be leaving early because my heat starts tomorrow and it's usually worse when I'm around a lot of people" the Omega counters and Hoseok nods. "Can you let my class know for me? I wouldn't want to interrupt the teacher."

"Sure, sure, I'll take care of it. Have a good one." says Hoseok with a warm smile. Jimin waves goodbye, goes to pick up Jungkook and leaves with him. A couple of hours later, right at home, the martyrdom began.

The good fortune is that, having him with a child, he can just cuddle and spoil him to make it less annoying. Given Jungkook's canine nature, that made him very happy. Cuddles, face kisses and purrs from Jimin while watching TV or sleeping tucked up to his head.
