"I feel like I look tired but I don't know why. I'm drowning in sorrow, sorrow in my mind."

"You know, I can't believe it."
"Can't believe what...?"
"You. I can't believe that I've only known you for two days now, yet you're as close as I have gotten to anyone in my life. I swear Jeon Jungkook, you're dangerous."
"Hehehe isn't that a good think Tae hyung, it means that we can get along with each other even years from now. Plus, that's a rare and beautiful thing don't you think."
"I suppose."
Taehyung cheekily grins his rectangular smile while Jungkook laughs, swinging his arms around Taehyung shoulders and bringing him closer for warmth against the cold wind, while making their way to Jungkook's house.
"It's beautiful. Everyone is still asleep right now, so peaceful."
"Yeah, it feels like we're in a different world or something. I think this is the first time I wake up this early."
"Really..? I love this time of the day. Some days I stay up for this moment."
"You're kidding Taehyung, you would stay up and sacrifice sleep for this?"
"Well yeah. If it's something you love then don't you think some things are worth the sacrificing."
"I suppose."

Taehyung stood outside in the morning cold while Jungkook quietly rushed around grabbing his belongings and getting dressed. He had offered multiple's of times to wait inside but Taehyung had refused each offer. He was much more comfortable rubbing his hands against each other while hiding his face in his scarf every time there was a gush of morning wind, then standing perfectly warm and awkward inside the unknown home filled with unknown adults. Around 10 minutes later, Taehyung looked back at the front door as he heard the sound of a door nob being turned. But to his dismay it was not Jungkook.
"Good morning young man. May I ask who you might be?"
"Good morning sir, my name is Kim Taehyung. I am Jungkook's friend." Taehyung took a few steps back being intimated by the tall older male dressed in all black. His black tie perfectly in place like everything else. He bowed as politely as he can while maintaining a safe distance.
"Ohhh you must be the friend he was so worried about last night. He looked so frantic and worried, are you feeling any better now?"
"Yes sir, much better now. Thank you for asking."
Mr. Jeon chuckled while eyeing the young boy. All he can really see is half of his face while the other half hid in the scarf. "You can drop the formalities, just call me Jeon. It was nice meeting you Taehyung but I better head off to work now."
"It was nice meeting you too Mr. J- I mean Jeon. Have a safe drive."Taehyung bowed again with a prominent blush due to calling him "Jeon."
Only after Mr. Jeon drive off to work did he release the painful breath he was holding inside. He looked like a much older intimidating version of Jungkook but his personality was very kind, something Taehyung felt comfortable around. He can only imagine how sweet Mrs. Jeon would be. Jungkook came out a minute or two after he drove off. He had his backpack slung over his left shoulder, coat zipped up and his hair was styled differently today. Today, Taehyung and all the student body was blessed with the sight of Jungkook's forehead. His hairline split his hair a little more to the left. It had a nice curly bounce to it.
"Thank you for waiting. You good?"
"No problem, let's go pick up Jiminie~. Oh, yeah I bumped into your dad just right now though."
"Anddd...? How did it go?"
"It was good, he seems really sweet. Made me call him Jeon."
"Hahaha he made you call him Jeon, omg he does that when he wants to sound and look young. Sorry about that." Jungkook face palmed himself out of embarrassment.
"hahah that's funny though. He does look young though, you take after him a lot."
"Yeah? We'll I hope I don't look too much like him. I plan to be much hotter when I am older."
"hahaha alright there!"
"I'm being serious Tae!"
"Alright alright I believe you, but you'll need a lot of luck."

And Jimin was happy but a bit confused on the sudden tight interaction and skinship that Jungkook and Taehyung shared with each other.
"Morning hyung~" Jungkook happily chirped as Taehyung smiled wide and big at Jimin.
"Morning to you too miss little sunshine. Why so happy?" Jimin locked the door as the trio started heading to school that's roughly 8 to 10 minutes away.
"Nothing hyung, it's just a nice day that's all."
"Ha, nice my butt. If you haven't looked around it's the middle of winter and everything looks so blue and gray." Jimin scoffed and shoved his cold hands down in his pockets. He was a happy kid himself but come on, the winter weather would put a damper on anyone. Well anyone except Jungkook and Taehyung of course, because they were both on cloud 8. Taehyung pushed his dark thoughts back into his bedroom and decided that today is going to be a good day, hopefully.
