The innocent boy and the obsessive teacher

03

......

In the late afternoon, the garden was quiet and peaceful. Jungkook and Jimin sat together on the bench, enjoying the calmness around them. Jungkook leaned against his brother, feeling safe and loved.

Inside the house, Namjoon and Jin were discussing something important. Namjoon had received a phone call earlier that taehyung wanted to visit. Taehyung had just moved back to town and was eager to catch up.

Namjoon was a bit surprised but happy to hear from Taehyung. They hadn't seen him in years, ever since Taehyung had graduated from university and helped Jimin when he got hurt. Namjoon remembered how kind Taehyung had been, taking Jimin to the hospital and staying with him until he was safe at home. He also remembered Taehyung meeting Jungkook that day and how jungkook felt scared.

**Flashback**

It was Taehyung's graduation day. He was excited and happy, ready to step into the world after years of studying. On his way to the university, he saw a young man sitting by the road, holding his leg in pain. Taehyung quickly pulled over and ran to help.

"Are you okay?" Taehyung asked, kneeling beside him.

The young man looked up, tears in his eyes. "I got hit by a car," he said, wincing. "It drove off, and I don't know what to do."

Taehyung helped him to his feet. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

After getting him treated, Taehyung learned that the young man's name was Jimin. They talked as they waited, and Taehyung found out that Jimin lived with his younger brother and uncle. When Jimin was discharged, Taehyung offered to drive him home.

"Thank you so much," Jimin said as they reached his house. "Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"

Taehyung agreed, feeling a connection with Jimin. Inside, they were greeted by Namjoon, who thanked Taehyung for his kindness. As they sat in the living room, Taehyung heard soft footsteps and looked up to see a small boy with a stuffed rabbit.

"This is Jungkook, my little brother," Jimin said with a smile.

Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. Jungkook was the cutest boy he had ever seen. "Hi, Jungkook," he said gently.

Jungkook looked at him with wide eyes, then quickly ran back upstairs, scared of the new person.

"Sorry," Jimin said. "He's very shy around new people. He's home-schooled and doesn't have many friends. He is our baby"

Taehyung nodded, understanding. But from that moment, he couldn't get Jungkook out of his mind. He felt an overwhelming need to protect him, to be close to him.

"Can I maybe ask how old he is? Taehyung asked. "Our jungkookie turned 10 years old this September" jimin said.

"baby you are very younger than me but still I got so attracted towards you, in my 20 years of age i never found some one this cute. I rejected many girls and boys yet I think I am loving you already little kid" he thought to himself smirking and mocking himself for having a feeling for a 10 years old boy.

Call it a obsession or what but he wants jungkook by hook or crook.

That day, he decided to become a teacher and homeschool him as it's a only way to meet jungkook and get closer to him.

**End of Flashback**

"Jungkook, can you come inside for a moment?" Namjoon called from the back door. Jungkook looked up and nodded, slowly getting up from the bench. Jimin followed him inside, curious about what was going on.

"An old friend is coming to visit us," Namjoon said, looking at Jungkook. "His name is Taehyung. Do you remember him?"

Jungkook frowned, trying to remember. He had a faint memory of a tall, kind man who had come to their house once. "I think so," he said quietly. "Is he nice?"

"Yes, he's very nice," Namjoon reassured him. "But if you feel uncomfortable, you can always stay in your room."

Jungkook nodded, feeling a little nervous but also curious. He hadn't met many new people, and the idea of seeing someone from the outside world was both exciting and scary.

Taehyung parked his car outside the house, his heart pounding with anticipation. It had been five years since he last saw Jungkook, but he hadn't stopped thinking about him. The image of the cute boy with his stuffed rabbit had stayed with him, growing into an obsession. Taehyung knew it was strange, but he couldn't help how he felt. He had even become a teacher, knew that one day his path would cross with Jungkook's again.

As he walked up to the front door, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He rang the doorbell, and after a few moments, namjoon opened the door with a welcoming smile.

"Taehyung, it's so good to see you!" Namjoon said warmly. "Come in, come in!"

Taehyung stepped inside, feeling a wave of nostalgia. The house hadn't changed much. It was still as cozy and inviting as he remembered. Jin and Jimin were in the living room, and they greeted him with smiles.

"It's great to see you again," Namjoon said, shaking Taehyung's hand. "Thanks for coming by."

"Of course," Taehyung replied, glancing around the room. He couldn't help but wonder where Jungkook was.

"This is my husband Jin by the way" namjoon introduced jin, "Nice to meet you jin hyung I was wondering who you are" taehyung said laughing and "How have you all been?"

"We've been good," Jimin said. "Busy with school and taking care of Jungkook."

At the mention of Jungkook, Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. "How is he?" he asked, trying to sound casual.

"He's doing well," Namjoon said. "He's still very shy and prefers staying at home, but he's happy and healthy."

Just then, Jungkook appeared at the top of the stairs, peeking down curiously. He was still holding his stuffed rabbit, looking just as adorable as Taehyung remembered. Their eyes met, and for a moment, everything else faded away.

Jungkook hesitated, feeling a little scared. New people always made him nervous. Slowly, he walked down the stairs, clutching his rabbit tightly.

"Hi," he said softly, standing next to Jimin.

"Hi, Jungkook," Taehyung said with a warm smile. "Do you remember me?"

Jungkook nodded slowly. "A little."

Taehyung's heart melted at the sight of the shy boy. "It's nice to see you again. You've grown so much."

"How can you be this ethereal, I've been craving to see you since 5 years. You have grown so beautifully, just some more days baby boy and I will be your tutor or should I say keeping you in-front of my eyes" taehyung thought to himself eyeing jungkook head to toe subtle.

Jungkook blushed and looked down, unsure of what to say. Jimin put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, Kookie. Taehyung is a friend."

Jungkook nodded, feeling a little more at ease. They all sat down in the living room, and Taehyung started to talk about his job as a teacher and how he had moved back to town. Jungkook listened quietly, still feeling a little strange in Taehyung's presence.

As the evening went on, Jungkook started to feel little relaxed. Taehyung's gentle nature and kind smile made him feel safe. He even found himself smiling a little, something that didn't happen often with new people.

It was time for Taehyung to leave, he felt a pang of sadness. He didn't want to go, but he knew very soon he will see jungkook every day. "It was really nice seeing you all again," he said, looking at Jungkook. "I hope we can see each other more often."

Jungkook nodded, feeling a little sad too. "Me too."

As Taehyung walked to his car, he couldn't stop thinking about Jungkook. His obsession is growing even more stronger after seeing jungkook. He was determined to be a part of Jungkook's life, no matter what.
