"Taehyungie, pay attention to me," Seokjin whispers tapping his boyfriend's shoulder.

"I know honey, but it's a surprise for you," he reassures still drawing in the sketchbook.

Seokjin leans over to the side to see what he's drawing. Through the messy sketch lines, he can clearly see himself.

"Okay I'm done," Taehyung mutters turning the drawing over to the boy.

Seokjin looks down at the drawing which immediately brings a smile to his face. It looks exactly like him. "You weren't even looking at me, how do you do this?" Seokjin asks eyes still focused on the detailed drawing.

"From memory. I could never forget your beautiful face," Taehyung replies leaning in to kiss his boyfriend.

Seokjin moves away and whacks the boy with the sketchbook. "We're in class Tae," he mumbles shyly.

"So? Like they are going to say anything. Everyone knows you're mine," Taehyung mumbles pulling the boy closer to him.

"Who can't tell? Especially with all the hickeys, you leave on my body," Seokjin says stifling out a laugh as his boyfriend kisses his neck.

"It looks nice on you," Taehyung teases gaining an eye roll from the older.

The last bell rings and they both jump up from their seats. Taehyung carries his boyfriend's bag, pushing both their chairs in before walking out the classroom. Seokjin takes his bag as they walk to their shared locker.

"What are you doing after school?" Seokjin asks opening the locker.

Taehyung pretends to think, stroking his imaginary beard. "Walking my wonderful future husband home," he says lovingly. "Dad wants me home early today."

"I can walk home by myself, I don't want you to get in trouble," Seokjin mutters worried about what might happen.

"Its fine baby, I don't mind," Taehyung reassures.

Seokjin is quiet for a moment before looking up at the younger male. "Can you call me if he does something, please? You know you don't deserve it, right? You're such a wonderful person and I love you so much," he says pulling the boy in for a short kiss.

"I know, I love you too," Taehyung mutters between the kiss.

"Kim Taehyung and Kim Seokjin! Stop kissing in the middle of the hallway," a teacher shouts startling the boys.

"Do you see his lips? I can't help it," Taehyung jokes kissing the boy again, teeth softy drawing on the older's bottom lip as he pulls away.

"Seokjin, I will call your parents. You already know how they feel about that boy," the teacher scolds.

Jin gives Taehyung an apologetic look before grabbing his hand. "I'm sorry. We'll go now," he apologizes dragging the younger out of the school with him.

"Why did you apologize to her?" he asks noticeably upset.

"They will make me break up with you," Seokjin mutters hugging onto the boy. "You don't understand how much I need you Taehyung."

"Alright, babe. I get it it's fine okay?" Taehyung says.

They silently walk along with each other, swinging their intertwined hands childishly as leave to Seokjin's house. Taehyung stops, pulling out his camera to take pictures of his beautiful boyfriend.

"Pose for me, baby," Taehyung orders lovingly pointing his camera at the older.

Seokjin turns around aware of what is going on, he shakes his head childishly once he sees the camera out. "I want to take a picture of you," he says pouting cutely, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Come on Jinnie," the younger persists. "Let daddy take a picture of you."

A blush flushes over Seokjin's face as he obediently poses looking off into the distance. "How does it look?" He asks peering over to look at the picture.

"Beautiful," Taehyung mutters before grabbing his lover's hand and walking off again.

They make it to Seokjin's home to see his parents standing there waiting for him. "Hey, sweetie and Taehyung," Seokjin's mother greet, awkwardly.

"I don't like that boy," his father whispers loud enough for both boys to hear.

Taehyung rolls his eyes before smiling."It's nice to see you too Mr. and Mrs. Kim," he says sarcastically.

"He's going now," Seokjin says trying to shoo his boyfriend away, noticing the tension between him and his parents. "Bye Taehyungie."

Taehyung chuckles grabbing his boyfriend by the waist before he could walk in the house. "Nope, what do you usually say, baby?" He teases.

"Seriously?" Seokjin pouts annoyed. "Bye, daddy."

"Good boy," Taehyung teases pecking the older on the lips before walking away.

"Seokjin!" His father yells while is mother stands there shocked.

"Sorry, father? I had to do it," Seokjin laughs walking inside the house.

Taehyung chuckles still able to hear the exchange between them. He walks back home alone already knowing what's going to happen once he gets there. Hiding somewhere runs through his head, but he knows it will get worse if he does that, he's already risking it by coming late. He stops in front of his house thinks about the punishments he might, an ass beating, a week without food or both.

He opens the house door, trying to walk around the beer bottles that are littered all over the floor. Holding his breath, he looks around the corner to see his drunk father asleep on the couch. He exhales happily, internally celebrating he tiptoes his way upstairs hoping not to wake his father. He's it all the way to his bedroom, quietly dropping his bag near the door and hiding his camera in a box. If his father knew about it he would break.

Taehyung lays down on his bed unwinding until he hears the footsteps making their way up the stairs. He sits up in a panic when his father steps in, slamming the door open. "You thought you could sneak away from me, huh?" His father growls as he shakes his head in response.

The older man pulls him off the bed by his hair making him stand up. "When did I tell you to be home?" He yells in his ear.

"After school," Taehyung whimpers tears starting to fall.

"Don't cry now you little bitch," he laughs out punching Taehyung repeatedly until he finally drops. "Do as I say and maybe this wouldn't happen."

Taehyung stays on the floor waiting for his father to leave, once he hears the door close, he silently cries wiping his blood away with his sleeves. He spots his phone on the floor and quickly picks it up calling Seokjin.

"Do you need me to come over?" Seokjin asks answering the phone almost immediately.

"No," Taehyung whispers out.

Seokjin is silent for a moment before finally speaking. "I'll be there in the morning, okay? What do you want me to do now?" he asks.

"Sing me to sleep?" Taehyung asks and Seokjin starts singing for him immediately.
