the talk

"Let's talk about what happened yesterday."

Yoongi's voice was like a icy sledgehammer to Taehyung. The latter had got approximately 0 minutes to prepare himself before being thrusted into the chair across from his counsellor, and to say he was upset was an understatement. His eyes were firmly screwed shut. Taehyung tried to sleep.

"Taehyung." Yoongi's voice was verging on anger, but didn't elicit a reaction out of the target. "I'm angry with you right now. Do you want to tell me why?"

"No.." Taehyung groaned, covering his ears. "Go away, I'm sleeping."

"Kim Taehyung, I'm warning you. If you carry on, I will punish you." Yoongi's voice was getting icier by the second.

It didn't faze Taehyung, who had endured hundreds of telling offs, exclusions, detentions and humiliation. It amused him a little, so when he let out a little chuckle it didn't surprise him. He heard Yoongi's shoes walk across the carpet and exit the room.

He had been gone for a while, and Taehyung couldn't hear anything. Should he open his eyes? No. He was slightly scared at what he would see, and he was far more concerned with sleeping. Yesterday had been a rough night. That's right, sleep.

"Taehyung, open your eyes."

Taehyung's eyes opened immediately. Yoongi was holding bread in one hand and a glass of water in the other.

"Open your mouth."

Taehyung felt strangely obedient, so did what Yoongi said and complied when he fed him the bread and made him drink the water. Next, Yoongi produced a cloth and told Taehyung to close his eyes. The cloth cleaned his face and neck and soon Taehyung was feeling a lot more calm and awake.

Finally, before sitting down, Yoongi gave Taehyung a cake. As Taehyung munched on the sweet, the older said again:

"Let's talk about what happened yesterday."
