The Beauty and The Geek✔ (taekook)

Taehyung packed the iron man plushie inside his bag and checks everything he needs for their weekend beach vacation before heading to the door. He went back to the plushie store yesterday and remembers how he cringed after hearing the price of the plushie. Let's say, it was quite an amount of money. But Taehyung never regret buying it, as long as it's for Jungkookie.

"Granny I'm going now, gonna be back tomorrow night." Taehyung said after hugging his grandma goodbye.

"Okay sweetheart. Take care and tell Jungkook happy birthday." Granny said smiling.

Taehyung nods and walks out of the house and heads to Yoongi's.

Granny watched her grandson walk away, thinking about how he'd grown into a smart young man. She's thankful that Taehyung had become independent and responsible, since she's already old and someday her time will come. She's afraid that one day, Taehyung will be left alone and she will not be there to take care of him..

Granny gasped as a slight pain surges through her chest. She clutches the area and winced. She had been feeling these chest pains a lot lately, like something is squeezing it, but it would always pass shortly and then leave her heart palpitating fast.

Even so, Granny didn't tell her grandson about this. And she never will. She intends to keep this since she doesn't want Taehyung to worry about her, considering the boy had already a lot going through his life. And besides, they don't have money for treatment.

With hands still in her chest, now massaging the area, Granny walks to the kitchen and opens a cabinet. She takes out a pain killer from a container and consumes it before the feeling gets worse. She clutches her hand at the edge near the sink and continues to massage her chest, like how she always does, gradually feeling the medicine taking effect and the pain slowly subsides.

She sighs, thankful that Taehyung would not have to witness that. She knows she's old and she understands that one day, with her weak health, she will fall apart, but she's still afraid. Afraid for leaving Taehyung behind.

"Hyung, let's go?" Taehyung asks as soon as Yoongi opened the door and the brunette was greeted with a glare. He smiles at the elder sheepishly and waits for him to move.

Yoongi exhales irritatedly and both boys started walking out the Min's house.

Taehyung is really quiet. He knows his hyung is mad but he knows the older still can't resist him. He needs him to come since Taehyung needs someone he can run to when everything doesn't go too well.

He remembers the day when he persuaded Yoongi to come, they were in the studio. He had entered the room without knocking and he accidentally saw his hyung scanning someone's social media account in his computer.

Taehyung was intrigued since Yoongi had told him earlier to not disturb him for he shall be busy working all day, and from the looks of it, he was indeed busy. He was busy scanning pictures of a certain short guy with crescent smiling eyes.

Yoongi was red faced when he realized Taehyung had caught him red handed, and the brunette can't contain his laugh. Taehyung then saw a smart opportunity to invite the older again.

Despite the protests, Taehyung blackmailed the pale guy, that if he won't go, he would tell Jimin that Yoongi was stalking his account. And Yoongi heavily denied that.

After a lot of arguments and persuasion, Yoongi defeatedly gave in with a tired face. Hence, now as they are waiting silently for Hoseok's car to arrive.

Not long after, a black car came to a stop in front of them and the window rolled down from the front seat.

It was Jimin's smiling face who greeted them, but turned into horror when his eyes caught Yoongi's glaring ones.
