Taehyung didn't manage to stay awake at school. The last night got him completely exhausted, not just physically, but mentally foremost.

Hoseok was sitting next to him, occasionally pinching the younger on the ribs in order not to make him fall asleep.

"Kim Taehyung, can you tell us more about the biodiversity of East Asia?" - The teacher noticed the boy was falling asleep and wanted to shake him up a little.

Taehyung was looking at seemingly mad professor with his eyes half closed. He didn't even hear what the question was, he just heard some random words coming out of professor's mouth.

Visibly annoyed professor gave Taehyung 10 seconds to give an answer but there wasn't a feedback.

"Ugh, some kids will never learn..,"  The professor said while rolling her eyes "That'd be an F, Kim Taehyung."

Taehyung just nodded, not really getting bothered by a bad grade. It's not his first, nor his last bad one.

He put his forehead on the table's surface, falling into a deep sleep this time.

The bell's ringing made him jump out of his seat. Hoseok grabbed the younger by the hoodie, dragging him out of the classroom.

"Why are you so tired this morning, you look like you haven't slept in years." - Hoseok asked concerned.

"That's exactly how I'm feeling." - Taehyung answered lifelessly.

"How about we skip the next two classes and go to our place right now?"

"Hoseok, by this tempo I'll get expelled." - Taehyung put a desperate look on his face, but deeply in wanted to go out from this place that he hated the most.

"Taetae, don't disappoint me, you're the last person who'd say such a pathetic excuse like that."

"Ugh, you know me too well, let's get out of here." - Taehyung smiled and started running towards the exit.

While the boys were running through the hallway, occasionally hitting into students here and there, Seokjin and Namjoon saw them while standing next to a big staircase that led to the first floor.

"Where are those jerks going? Ugh, if Tae keeps missing the classes like this, I'm really afraid he's gonna get excluded." - Seokjin shook his head and crossed his arms.

"We should check where they're going, maybe they'll make a mess that I'll have to clean for them." - Namjoon said and immediately started running towards the boys. He was stopped by the older's hand that pulled him by the collar.

"You're not going anywhere Namjoon, you've already missed too many classes as well." - Seokjin hissed through teeth.

"Seokjin, you're not my mom, don't tell me what to do."

"I won't give you a hand job tonight if you miss the upcoming class."

Namjoon stopped at those words and turned around with a large smile.

"Ok, Jin-ah, let's go to the classroom." - Namjoon said excitedly and pinched Seokjin's butt.

"Stop it, you pervert." - Seokjin complained and grabbed the younger's hand, leading him to the classroom.

Taehyung and Hoseok were walking down the street where Taehyung lived, both with their hands in pockets.

Taehyung seemed a little turned down and Hoseok noticed it. The boy was still tired and under impression because of the last night.

"Bro, you seem confused today, is there anything that bothers you?" - Hoseok asked looking at his friend's face that was looking at the ground.

"Um, no.. I mean," Taehyung didn't want to mention his workplace, so he put the blame on other problems "you know the whole situation with my mom and everything..."
