Kim Taehyung has only ever dreamt of being a figure skater. He dedicated his whole life to the art he loves with every fiber of his body. Him being a business major isn't something he wanted to take up, but that was the only way his father allowed h...

"Can you like stop spinning around for a minute? For the nth time, I need to talk to you!" Yoongi grumbled out from the bench he was sitting at.
He has been looking at his brother doing spins and splits for the past twenty seven minutes.
Yoongi came to the ice rink of their university to talk to his brother but his brother is too busy preparing for his upcoming show - where he is representing their university - to even listen to what Yoongi has to say. Finally, after three more minutes he noticed his brother skating towards him and he heaved a sigh.
"I thought I acquired the superpower of invisibility by the way you were ignoring me." Yoongi snorted out as he saw his brother taking off his skates.
"I decided to ignore you because I already know what you're going to talk about so I just wanted to delay the same talk." Taehyung replied with a small sarcastic smile as he walked towards the dressing room, his brother trailing behind him with his Puma Phase backpack slinging on one of his shoulder.
"Just hurriedly get changed, we need to be at some shitty place as well and you're my ride today so please be quick, I don't wanna argue with that old shit again." Yoongi grumbled out as he remembered how terrible his day went from the start. First, Professor Lee ate his head and then he got into a huge fight with one of the soccer player of their university and their basketball coach gave him an earful since he is the captain.
"What's wrong? You sound really upset....did something bad happen?" Taehyung asked as he walked out of the dressing room. His curly caramel hair is pulled up in a messy man bun, few fringes adorning his cheeks, just like his brother. From any angle he doesn't look like a figure skater, his oversized black T-shirt and baggy cargo is hiding all his curves underneath. Taehyung looks tired. Visible eyebags under his eyes, his shoulders slumped down and he's trailing lazily beside Yoongi.
"Meh, a bad day. Professor Lee asked about you and bugged me throughout the class, coach gave me an earful because we got into a fight with that stupid DaeJun and it kinda went out of control." Yoongi sighed as they ducked towards the hallway, only few students walking ahead of them.
"How come I have no idea about this fight?" Taehyung narrowed his eyes at Yoongi.
"You were busy with your skating the whole day, so I asked others to not inform you." Yoongi shrugged.
"By the way, you don't look any better. You look like you're surviving on caffeine for the last three days, in short you look like a raccoon." Yoongi snorted at his brother and received a smack in return.
"First of all, I don't drink coffee. Second of all, I indeed didn't sleep yesterday at all, or maybe I did for an hour." Taehyung shrugged, taking out his shades from his backpack to cover his eyes.
"Why? Did you finish another series?"
"No, I wish! Dad handed me over a dozen of files yesterday - which were full of mistakes - and asked me to review each one of them and hand him the reviewed files by today morning. Today at the breakfast table he asked me about all the files and about the mistakes in them and I swear it felt like I was sitting for my college entrance exam again. Anyway, so I basically didn't get time to sleep at all, because of him."
"Ugh, I hate him so much! Who the fuck does that to their own son?!"
"Our fathers. Anyway, you wait here and I'll go get my car." Taehyung walked into the parking lot to get his car while Yoongi was waiting at the gate.
Yoongi was scrolling through Instagram when he heard the engine of a bike going off. He looked up from the screen and saw the same boy who he asked to meet him at the basketball court tomorrow.
"Hey, Jungkook!" Yoongi walked towards the boy who was about to put on his helmet.
"Oh, hi." He greeted back and looked at the other with wide eyes, as if not expecting him to initiate any talk.
"Why're you so late? The classes got over about an hour ago." Yoongi asked casually.
"Well, I could ask you the same thing. Why're you so late?" Jungkook asked back and noticed how Yoongi's lips tugged at the corner into a small smirk, as if amused by his question.
"Was waiting for my brother. Now, what about you?"
"I needed to get my schedule and talk to the dean about my scholarship and all." Jungkook shrugged.
Yoongi was about to say something else when he saw the red BMW making it's way towards the exit.
"Ah, he's here, I'll get going. Good to talk to you, kid."
With that Yoongi jogged towards the bright red BMW and entered into the passenger seat, before it drove off, leaving a confused Jungkook behind.
"Kid? We're literally in the same class..." He mumbled to himself before shrugging it off.
"So? Who was that?" Taehyung asked, his eyes focused on the road.
"A new student. He's actually quite interesting if you ask me." Yoongi said as he dwelled back into the conversation he had with the younger earlier.
"Uh-huh...are you showing interest in someone else other than Hoseok?" Taehyung wiggled his brows teasingly, and received an eye roll from the elder.
"No, Jesus! I just said he looked interesting, and moreover he was more of your type than mine. He sure is younger than me, maybe about your age."
Taehyung snorted at that.
"You're literally two years older than me. You're acting as if you're 34 and not 24."
"Oh c'mon, I'm still older than you. I'm older than most of the people in our semester."
"That's because you took a break for two years and explored music, untill your evil father forced you into business again."
"Don't remind me!"
"Fine, sorry. By the way, did you talk to Hoseok? Did he reject you again?"
"I did not. I think I'll just admire him from afar until I get over him, cuz there's no way he'll ever accept me and I just can't bring myself to embarrass myself again."
"Oh my brother, when will you learn...." Taehyung let out a dramatic sigh.

"We make ourselves miserable by choosing to love someone we can't have." ~ unknown But oh...what's even love without the pain and misery? Even if the love isn't reciprocated and the pain tastes bitter, the shine in their eyes and the sound of their giggles adds the sweetness to the pain and suddenly it all feels worth it.
