My Sister's boyfriend

chapter 1: prologue

hi lovelies, thank you for stumbling  over this fic; I really am working hard for it and i hope you enjoy reading!

note: TA stands for Teacher's Assistant and he/she is usually the teacher who gives seminar classes.

Morning classes are probably the worst thing to ever happen to Yoongi and Monday morning 8am statistics seminars may be the worst thing yet. Yoongi is dead to the outside world, or at least he's sure he looks asleep enough to not be bothered. He has his head pillowed on his arms, face hidden in his sweater. There is absolutely no way he looks at all interested or even aware of his surroundings.

This is why Yoongi has no idea why the boy who sits next to him (instead of one seat over and next to the other guy) greets him like he expects a response. He hears the boy shift beside him, but he's not curious enough to look. Since this was a first year class that meant this kid was probably a first year student, and it is always first year students who are looking to make new friends.'You chose the wrong person', Yoongi thinks but doesn't say or bother to look up.

Several minutes like this go by; several minutes meaning their TA is late. Yoongi decides to be a good acquaintance and at least recognize the kid as existent. He turns his head over slightly to eye the boy that sat beside him, “Shouldn't our TA be here by now?” He says conversationally.

The boy looks down to him surprised, “Yeah, I think so.” He looks down at his phone, “It's 8:01.”

Yoongi squints up at the boy, “You know if we all leave now then none of us can be considered individually responsible.”

The boy laughs quietly, “They're only a minute late at this point, you know.”

Yoongi grunts, “Well, wake me up when its time to ditch.” he pillows his face back in his arms, “Or if our TA ever get here I guess.” his voice sounds muffled by his sweater. Asken to be woken up turns out to be an unnecessary precaution as the TA enters the room only a minute later. Yoongi still gets a poke in his side to make sure he hadn't fallen asleep in those sixty seconds of quiet.

They go around the room to introduce themselves to each other. The process is painful and uncomfortable, but Yoongi learns that the boy beside him's name is Jimin. He also, by the end of the day, has forgotten this important detail.

Jimin sits beside Yoongi almost everyday after that, having arbitrarily chosen to focus on Yoongi as his friend in that seminar apparently. Yoongi finds he doesn't actually mind at all, and indeed Yoongi discovers that the good days are the days where he sits beside Jimin. The boy is all lame jokes, marshmallow cheeks and eye smiles. He's easy to talk to; nonjudgmental and easygoing for the most part. He's also cute. Really really cute. So cute that it makes Yoongi simultaneously want to be around him more and also run for the hills. Yoongi settles for the compromise: just seeing him during his Monday morning seminars.

And so it happens that Yoongi develops a small negligible crush on his statistics acquaintance that he has also forgotten the name of.

. . .

There's a final project to do come second semester that the students were either allowed to do alone or in groups of two. Yoongi had immediately assumed from the first day of hearing about it that he would be doing it alone, but judging by the way Yoongi meets Jimin's expectant eyes and growing smile the minute the TA brings it up, Yoongi thinks safe to say that working alone was never an option. Not that he would have chosen that option given the choice.

That day Jimin and Yoongi leave the seminar room together already discussing the days they will meet and their expectations for the project. The fact that Yoongi is even willing to start discussing the upcoming project two months before it was due may have more to do with a certain cute statistics partner rather than the actual distant deadline of the project.
