chapter two.
— ✿

taehyung can't contain his feelings.

spending three days and two nights with jimin on a class trip, makes his heart bursts like an exploding stars on the galaxy.

jeongguk and seokjin are with them—riding on a bus to go home while jimin is heavy asleep on taehyung's shoulder.

they are near their stop, jimin seems to be really tired and won't wake up no matter how softly taehyung slaps his cheeks—his fluffy cheeks to be exact.

"you're not hitting him hard enough, that's why he won't wake up." jeongguk says, as he slightly gets up from his seat. he wants to volunteer on slapping the cheek of his hyung, whom he's favorite to tease.

taehyung mentally rolls his eyes. how can he even slap jimin? just look at him, he looks defenseless and fragile. he's not going to hit him hard, he carefully taps jimin's cheeks once again—more like touching jimin's face with a feather.

"chim? chimchim!" he chants, weakly shaking the older's body in attempt of waking him.

the bus is really close to their stop.

"i'm going to carry him home." taehyung finally, whispery says. not wanting to wake jimin as he positions himself to piggyback the little boy.

"w-wait, what about your bags? how are you going to carry it?" seokjin says, standing up on his seat that is next to jeongguk. he helps assisting jimin on taehyung's back.

"i'm going to get it to your house later or tomorrow morning jin hyung. for now, i'm just going to carry jimin home. annyeong ggeuk, take care to the both of you."

he makes sure that the sleeping boy is safely place on his back before he carefully gets out of the bus.

little did taehyung know that the hyung on the bus is observing him—and jimin as well.
