he's sexy, isn't he?

it was friday of namjoon's last week helping assist seokjin when jeongguk finally met him properly.

he'd asmired the self-assured way namjoon spoke and the way he carried himself with graceful poise. having him as stand-in professor for the past two weeks had been more than bareable—hell, jeongguk looked forward to hearing namjoon speak.

in between his tips and teachings, he'd retell funny stories of how the classroom's professor was when learning english. he assured the students that everyone felt awkward at first with the foreign syllables struggling to fly off their tongue, but that could be easily fixed with practice for improvement.

jeongguk had left class with a mini packet for review. its contents were mainly conversational topics that he was fairly comfortable with. taehyung was pretty happy with their easy homework as well, going as far as thanking the proverbial god when he flipped through the questions.

the rest of his day had gone by fairly smooth, yet despite all that, he felt like deadweight leaving his last class.

with a pursed pout on his lips, he trudged down the sidewalk leaving his campus and heading towards the subway. there was a slight petulant waddle in his steps as well, jeongguk sleepily weaving through passerby's and wanting nothing more than to be home.

while on the train, he'd grabbed his phone and began going through his social media before a reminder flooded the screen:

you need groceries bitch!
or perish! -tae<3

jeongguk groaned and then whined and then huffed. his mini tantrum in his corner seat garnered the attention of an elderly woman in front of him and a businessman standing to the side of him, both eyeing the student warily with bother.

during lunch earlier he'd told his friends about how barren his pantry and refrigerator were, joking that he now had pet dust mites he loved and cherished.

the groupchat was park jimin's idea, however. it was supposedly to keep up with the antics that went on in their lives so no one was late in on the 'tea'. hoseok was busy over at the engineering building so he wasn't present when the decision had been made, but was added regardless.

can you perish instead?

jeongguk didn't want to go shopping. he wanted to strip himself of his clothes, shower, and then nap. seokjin hadn't invited him over today, but that was fine. the student didn't feel up to making the whole trip across town again anyway.

there was still something nagging him though. seokjin hadn't invited him over for an entire week, not since the last time he was there with min yoongi. they both messaged quite often in the early hours of the morning, but once two am dwindled down to three, jeongguk knew he wasn't going to be asked over.

that was fine. jeongguk knew it was fine. his brain did, at least, but his body craved the older's presence. ugh i feel like a leech. he wanted seokjin in the most harmless way; just being with him was enough.
