TW: mention of injures

TAEHYUNG

He woke up to everything hurting. 

He wanted to cry. Taehyung sat up. He really needed to cover this up. He pulled on a turtleneck and put on his uniform over it. Worried about blood seeping through, he threw a grey zip-up over it and grabbed a mask.

He checked Yoongi's hoodie from the washer. It didn't have blood on it, and it was dry. 

He sighed with reality and put it in his bag, hurrying off to school.

He arrived a little late, after buying cigarettes from a store that was a little out of the way. But he would sell cigarettes to kids' underage, so Tae didn't mind. He pulled up his hood as he walked into the school, maybe no one would notice. He walked into class and apologized to the homeroom instructor and headed to the back of the class where Yoongi sat waiting and leaned over his desk looking concerningly at Taehyung.

Tae ignored him as the teacher continued calling out attendance. Once the class ended, Yoongi pounced on him.

"Are you sick?" Yoongi peered under Taehyung's hood. Tae nodded and pulled up his backpack. "Oh no, is it because of the water yesterday? Man, I knew I should've warmed you up more before you left." Yoongi pouted, his scar looked darker today, seemingly purple against his skin.

Taehyung shrugged and pulled out Yoongi's hoodie, giving it to him.

"Oh, thanks and I have this—" Yoongi handed him a keychain. 

It was a little chain with shiny flowers and stars. Ms. Han had given it to him last year as a little Christmas gift. well, he'd won a contest but there wasn't any prize, so she'd given him the little charm.

Taehyung took it and out it back on his bag. "So, should we go to the hide out—"

Taehyung covered his mouth, seeing Hana's friends eyeing him. She was supposed to come back soon. He felt fear creep into him.

"Ah right. let's eat lunch together?" Yoongi offered.

Taehyung pulled out his book. art room? Yoongi nodded and got up, returning to his seat as the next teacher came in.

 Taehyung tried to pay extra attention because of his three skipped days. He was ahead in most of his classes, so it didn't really matter. When Mr. Ahn came in he felt his blood freeze. His cold gaze flew over Taehyung, as if he didn't exist. 

Taehyung was perfectly fine with that and started to draw the ocean in his notebook, waiting to feel the sea water rush through his veins. He started to smile under his mask, thinking of going with Yoongi.

"Kim Taehyung!" Mr. Ahn called out his name. "You miss my class for two days and now you don't pay attention? Do you really care about your education?" 

Taehyung stared back at him. do you really care about your students? He kept that to himself and bowed to Mr. Ahn as an apology. He sat back down and zoned out on the whiteboard.

When art class started Yoongi followed him step by step and sat next to him in class. Taehyung decided to paint Yoongi that class. But Yoongi didn't know that yet. When he finished, he was very proud of himself. He never painted people very often, but this one turned out pretty well.

"Did you paint me?" Yoongi says excitedly, looking over Taehyung's shoulder. A smile grew on his face. "Aw, I look so pretty."

Taehyung nodded softly.

"Do you admit it? You think I'm pretty?"

pretty scary.

he wrote it under Yoongi's painting.
