ever since the seokjin incident, taehyung became clingier than ever.
he would follow hoseok literally everywhere, (even in the bathroom, though hoseok drew the line when the taller insisted on entering his cubicle.)
nonetheless, hoseok didn't protest.
taehyung, as annoying as he was, actually turned out to be pretty useful, by helping the smaller boy with his math homework, letting him copy off his notes and even buying him food.
and even though he was an introvert, hoseok did need at least one friend.
nobody mentioned how taehyung had gotten possessive and dominant that monday and both boys were fine with it.
anyhow, hoseok did make taehyung promise that he wouldn't manhandle the older again and the latter had agreed.
surprisingly, hoseok hadn't bumped into kim seokjin again and he was more than thankful to that.
it's not like hoseok never got into trouble. actually, he usually had to face a lot of consequences because of his sharp tongue and reckless actions.
despite that, he continued being sassy anyway and ignored all the drama which came later.
what could he say, hoseok loved being an ignorant bitch.
however, the boy couldn't notgive a damn when taehyung didn't show up to school for two days straight.
hoseok hadn't thought of it much when taehyung wasn't present to school after the weekend.
he could be skipping school or be sick for all hoseok knew.
even though worry had began to brew in hoseok when taehyung hadn't turned up the next day either; the boy just brushed it away, reassuring himself taehyung was surely gonna show his ass the next day.
but he didn't.
and that's when hoseok began to worry.
standing by his locker, hoseok frowned when he didn't get greeted by the familiar boxy smile and annoying chatter of his friend. (whom he thought more of an acquaintance.)
despite being the school's playboy, it was totally unlike taehyung to skip school.
him being ill was the most legitimate reason hoseok could think of for skipping school.
sighing deeply, he pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, opening the messaging app and scrolling through his contacts.
they weren't much; mostly of his mom texting him to come home early instead of sitting in the library or asking him to do some of her errands.
