"Oh God, my pain is nothing compared to yours," Yeri cried.

"Mine too," Jaeson said.

"You have no pain, meanie," the girl smacked his head, causing him to hiss and snatch her hair.

"I see chemistry between you two," Jungkook said as he moved away.

"Where are you going?" Yeri asked.

"To the canteen," he answered.

"You don't even eat at the canteen," Jaeson remarked.

"The old lady always forgets that Taehyungie hyung can't eat spicy food, so I have to remind her every day. And moreover, I have to keep an eye out if anyone is bullying him," he said as he disappeared.

"Lord, no one can love Taehyung like Jungkook does," she said, looking at the fading back of the younger boy.

"I know, right," Jaeson commented.

"Let's get them together," Yeri said determinedly.

"Lady, wait. Weren't you crying that you were rejected by Taehyung?" he remarked.

"I know, but maybe I didn't like Taehyung, not even close to what Jungkook feels for him. They belong together, don't you think so?" she said, to which the other nodded.

Taehyung was disturbed by a bang in the library. Hustle and bustle started as Jaeson vacated everyone out, a sort of soft bullying. Taehyung panicked looking at it, he stood up, but Jaeson sat him down, pushing him to the seat.

Yeri came forward and sat across from him.

"I told you already, Yeri, I don't love you," he said, pushing his glasses back in place.

"Why did you reject Jungkook?" she asked, to which the elder's breath hitched.

"I... don't like him," he said.

"Oh really? Then I can go and propose to him and have babies. Nice talking to you," Jaeson said nonchalantly.

"Ba-bies?" Taehyung muttered, "with my... Baby bunny??," he added quietly as he remembered their childhood.

Taehyung was obsessed with the younger, his smile, his talks, his wants, everything. Even if there was a huge space, his baby bunny would just go and sit in his lap, be fed by the elder. He was so cute, sweet, and lovable. He just loved the kid. Not in a platonic way, but a romantic way, and it scared him when everyone around him realized it.

"Tae, you know it's illegal, right? You're a pedo if you like him that way." This sentence from his friends fell on him like a thunderstorm. He made a girlfriend he never liked, they mutually acted to gaslight the younger. He hated himself for doing this to his baby, his love, but what else could he do? And when he was going to say goodbye to his baby forever, he couldn't help but give his baby’s favorite thing to him—pecks all over his face.

"Okay, now it's not illegal, right? Then what's the problem?"

"Do you think I am even eligible to look at him? He is everything a person dreams of. I can't even provide him with anything, a good home, nothing. I am a failure. I don't deserve him. He is my baby bunny; I want everything good and better for him," Taehyung said emotionally.

"Taehyung, it's wrong in many ways. You are not only hurting yourself but him too," Jaeson said.

"Give him what he wants," Yeri added.

"And you have what he wants. He wants your love. Taehyung, you will regret it forever. Money will come and go, but this is a one-time thing. That's all we can say," said Yeri and Jaeson as they moved out.

"You can meet him at downtown, at the underground racing point. He is racing tonight," Jaeson said before going away.
