rebound :: yoonseok [slow updates]

0.3

yoongi woke up in the morning to a storm, the threatening sound of thunder rang throughout his house. he snuggled closer to his stuffed animals, searching for just a few more minutes of sleep, before he realized that he would be late to school in less than 15 minutes. he jumped out of bed and ran to get his clothes on, before running out into the freezing cold, and of course, forgetting his umbrella.

when he arrived at school, he was already late to class, and got scolded by his teacher. after the teacher's incredibly long lecture about not being late to school because blah blah blah would happen and how lucky he was to not be blah blah blah, he quickly sped to his seat, embarrassed, and fumbled to get his things out. he looked over towards hoseok to greet him but just saw him smiling ahead of him, dreamy eyes and all. and of course, unsurprisingly enough, the object of his undivided attention and affection was none other than kim taehyung.

yoongi just breathed out a silent sigh, wondering what about him wasn't good enough, and the more he thought, the more answers he came up with.

then came last period, and by then he had thought of over a million answers to his question, picking himself apart little by little. to him, everything about himself was an imperfection, from the way he looked, to his stupid goofy smile. the only thing that he could think about was "it's not wonder why hoseok doesn't like me and likes taehyung more".
while he continued to put himself down, the storm outside raged on.

dismissal came around and yoongi had officially dug himself a larger hole of self-hatred and willingly jumped into it. he walked out onto the wet sidewalk, the rain continuing to make an extremely unnerving pit-pattering sound as it hit the ground. he was going to take his umbrella out before realizing that his idiotic self left the umbrella at home. he stayed there, waiting for the rain to stop. but, like in every cliché story, it never did. he waited for a solid 10 minutes before giving up and deciding to walk home alone in the pouring rain.

fortunately, a kind student had seen yoongi there waiting all alone, and decided to help him out by sharing his umbrella. romantic, right? though i guess that it was a bit weird for yoongi to realize that while out on the middle of the street, the rain had suddenly stopped. he looked around him and found the student holding an umbrella next to him, smiling as he saw the surprised look on yoongi's face.

"hello, nice to meet you. i'm jimin."
