The innocent boy and the obsessive teacher

04

.......

The next morning, Taehyung couldn't stop thinking about Jungkook. He was determined to see him again and be closer to him. He decided to call Namjoon and propose his idea.

"Hello, Namjoon," Taehyung said when Namjoon answered the phone. "I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Not at all," Namjoon replied. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, everything is fine," Taehyung said. "I was actually calling because I had an idea I wanted to discuss with you. Can we meet up sometime today?"

"Sure," Namjoon said. "How about lunch? We can meet at the café near my office."

"That sounds perfect. See you then," Taehyung said, feeling a surge of excitement.

At the café, Taehyung waited anxiously for Namjoon to arrive. When he finally saw him walking in, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"Thanks for meeting me, Namjoon," Taehyung said as they sat down.

"Of course," Namjoon replied. "So, what's on your mind?"

Taehyung took a deep breath, trying to sound as casual as possible. "I've been thinking a lot about Jungkook. I know he's home-schooled and doesn't get out much. I was wondering if you'd consider letting me tutor him. I have a lot of free time since I don't have many students in town yet."

Namjoon looked thoughtful. "It's funny you mention that. I've actually been looking for someone to tutor Jungkook. My work at the office has been keeping me busy, and I don't have as much time for him as I'd like. But it's been hard to find someone I trust, given how shy he is around new people."

"I understand," Taehyung said, nodding. "I know Jungkook is very shy, but he seemed to be comfortable with me. I think I can help him with his studies and also help him feel more comfortable around others."

Namjoon smiled, looking relieved. "That's good to hear. I'm actually happy with your offer. I trust you, and Jungkook already knows you. But of course, I'll have to talk to Jungkook first and see how he feels about it."

"Of course," Taehyung agreed, trying to hide his eagerness. "I hope he'll be okay with it."

Back at home, Namjoon found Jungkook in the garden, reading a book. He sat down next to him, and Jungkook looked up with a smile.

"Hey, Kookie," Namjoon said gently. "I wanted to talk to you about something."

"What is it, hyung?" Jungkook asked, setting his book aside.

"You know how I've been very busy with work lately and haven't had much time to help you with your studies?" Namjoon began. Jungkook nodded, looking a bit sad. "Well, Taehyung offered to tutor you at home. He's a teacher, and he has a lot of free time right now. I thought it might be a good idea."

Jungkook hesitated, feeling a little anxious. "But... I'm scared of new people, hyung."

"I know, Kookie," Namjoon said, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "But Taehyung isn't really new. You've met him before, and you seemed to get along with him. He's very kind, and I think he can help you a lot. But it's your choice. If you're not comfortable with it, we can find another way."

Jungkook thought about it for a moment. He remembered how gentle and kind Taehyung had been. He didn't feel as scared of him as he did with other people. And he knew Namjoon was very busy and wanted to help him.

"Okay," Jungkook said softly. "I'll try."

Namjoon smiled, feeling relieved. "Thank you, Kookie. I think this will be good for you."

Namjoon called Taehyung to give him the good news. "Jungkook agreed," he said. "You can start tutoring him tomorrow. How does five hours a day sound?"

"That sounds perfect," Taehyung said, trying to contain his excitement. "Thank you, Namjoon. I promise I'll take good care of him."

"I know you will," Namjoon replied. "See you tomorrow."

Taehyung hung up the phone, feeling a rush of triumph. He was finally going to be close to Jungkook, to spend time with him every day. He knew his obsession was strange, but he couldn't help how he felt. He was determined to be a part of Jungkook's life, no matter what it took.

The next day, Taehyung arrived at the house early, his heart pounding with anticipation. He was greeted by Namjoon, who led him to jungkook where he was waiting.

"Good morning, Jungkook," Taehyung said with a warm smile.

"Good morning," Jungkook replied quietly, feeling a little nervous.

"Are you ready for your first lesson?" Taehyung asked gently.

Jungkook nodded, clutching his rabbit tightly. "Yes, I'm ready."
