Loving You ~ pjm + kth ✓

o n e

Taehyung and I have been together for 2 years now. We've known each other for 5. Ever since the 6th grade, we've been best friends. I still remember the day we met vividly.

I saw him on the first day of school. Everyone was in the courtyard since it was our free period. It was a sunny, yet cool day. In my opinion, it was the perfect weather, but Tae would disagree. He prefers rainy days. He likes to run and sometimes even simply walk around in the sweet serenade of the rain.

The courtyard was a rectangular piece of land that had ceramic-tiled floors and was at the back of our school. There was a metal fence to keep us confined in the school space. It made me feel like an animal. 

There were a couple of long wooden tables that surrounded the place, acting as a second fence to make sure we were secured. It was also where people - including me - sat. There was a lot of space for kids to run around, in the middle of the courtyard. A lot of the kids did too. Including Taehyung. 

I was seated at one of the tables, alone because I was a very shy kid. A lot of people say that I'm still a very shy and somewhat introverted person but I think that it's a massive upgrade from my past self. 

A couple minutes into our free period and I was eating a sandwich that I had prepared for myself since no one else would. However, my eyes were redirected by the stares of the 11-year olds. They were staring at a boy with the fluffiest hair. The boy was jumping around, his hair joining him, and playing as if it were the happiest day of his life. Everyone wasn't confused as to why he was playing, but rather why he was playing alone. People found it odd and hard to understand why a person would do such a thing alone. The only explanation the kids passed around to each other was that Taehyung was crazy. 

It hurt me to hear such a thing since I knew what it felt like to have no one to play with. That's how it was at my house. My mom and dad were always busy working and when they weren't they only paid attention to my baby brother. I love my brother but it hurts to feel like a ghost in your own family. Especially at that age, when all a kid wants is to be praised for his good grades, or taken out to get a toy, or at least be made a sandwich for his school lunch. 

Without a second thought, I put my sandwich down on its plastic wrapper and made my way to Taehyung. I wouldn't just sit there while others made fun of a kid that just wanted to play. 

When I approached him he came up to me in the most well-refined course. And said "Anyeonghaseyo! My name is Taehyung. Your name is?"

"Jimin," I said enthusiastically. To this he replied by smiling. 

The only other thing he said to me for the whole free period was "Come on! Let's play!"

And we did. For the whole break, we - including Tae's hair - jumped around and raced each other. Not paying any mind to the judgmental eyes or the whispers spread around the whole courtyard. It was like we were the only ones there. 


Present Time


A wave of people exited the room. It was where the school band practiced. Everyone exited with their instrument cases in hand. Everyone but Tae. 

When the rush of people stopped. I peeped my head into the now empty room, curious as to what was taking Taehyung so long. The teacher wasn't in the room so I figured he had left to go to the bathroom or something of the sort.

Tae was sitting in his chair. Slowly packing up his saxophone. He seemed to be in deep thought. So I thought it best to allow his thoughts run wild without interruption.

I had managed to enter the room and stood in a corner of the room, resting my hands on my bag. It was last period so there was no need to rush. No one would be expecting us at either of our homes anyways. 

As he packed his saxophone, with his eyebrows remaining furrowed. I hoped that whatever realm he was in, wasn't a negative one but it looked to be that way. I still didn't want to intrude on his thoughts so I stood and waited a couple minutes until he looked up, finished from leisurely packing his beloved saxophone that he spent each day playing beautifully. 

When he looked up, a smile overtook his beautiful features.

"How long have you been waiting there, you creep?" He said as he made his way over to me. I made an attempt to get closer to him as well. That's what I liked about our relationship. It was never one-sided. We both made an effort to be closer together. It was as if we were magnets in a world of deterrent judgment.

"That's not important," I said with a smile as we finally met each other with a hug. "How was class?"

The hug was short but when it was over, Taehyung snaked his arm around my waist and kissed my neck. Giving my heart that warm, fuzzy feeling that I have come to love. The feeling was almost as if my heart were to snuggle into a blanket. The blanket was only warm when Tae was around.

"It was good. The teacher says I'm improving a lot and that I should consider taking a higher level class." He said, nonchalantly.

"What?! That's amazing! Do you wanna go sign up?" I'm so happy for him. This was his dream. To play the saxophone. I'm glad that he's taken a step further to get where he wants to be.

Taehyung looked down. "Let's just go home for now." 

I wanted to ask him if he was okay or if there was anything he wanted to talk about but I decide that it would be best to just leave him be for now. Hoping that he would tell me later on in the day.

"Alright," I said. I stopped walking, knowing no one would be in the hall we were in, and Taehyung followed. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him. Tae tensed at first but relaxed after he realised I wouldn't pry — yet. I love him but I hate it when he keeps things inside of him. Especially things that make him upset. I know that him being upset is inevitable but I try my best to postpone that time as much as possible. 

The kiss was deep and I could feel Tae's smirk grow under it. Taehyung deepened the kiss, his smirk disappearing. His movements had turned from being teasing and gentle to being very passionate as if he needed me. He moved his hands down from where they had placed themselves on my waist, to grab me from behind and I could feel the kiss start to get heated.

I pulled away, not wanting to start something we couldn't finish right away. As we were in the middle of the hall, the school's exit being less than 10 feet away. 

When I pulled away, Tae smirked again. "Too much?"

I rolled my eyes. "Whose house is it today?" 

We always liked to spend the day together. It was as if the more time we spent together, the more the need to be with each other deepened. And since both of our parents never cared much about us, it made the need to be with each other deeper. We needed someone to understand what the other was going through. And Tae and I always understood when the other needed something. We always tried our best to provide what the other needed too.

I was in no mood to be around my parents. I didn't want to remind myself of them at a time like this. I'm guessing Taehyung saw that. 

He bent his head down to kiss me swiftly, smiled his award-winning smile and said "My house."

With that, he held my hand and we were off.
