Everything was different after that fight. No one bothered anyone involved, it only took a week for the rumours regarding Jimin and Taehyung to stop. It also helped that one of the most popular kids in the school, Namjoon, debunked it. Life slowly went back to normal Tae and Jimin's wounds quickly healing. Slowly Namjoon started to spend more and more time around them. Everyone was quick to accept him into their little group.

One of the many things that changed was Jimin, and his relationship with Taehyung. During lunch Jimin wouldn't make weird comments under his breath for only Tae to hear. They didn't theorize about the next episode of their favourite tv show anymore. Taehyung tried to engage but Jimin just couldn't. Jimin almost never spoke while they all hung out. He couldn't help but feel awkward all the time. It was amazing how one little kiss could change everything.

Another thing that changed over the course of a few weeks was Hoseok and Yoongi's relationship. They didn't have to hide as much anymore. When they walked in groups the two would hold hands, when they sat together they'd lean on each other and hug each other. Hoseok would even give Yoongi kisses every once in a while, when a lot of people weren't looking. Everyone cooed at them when caught, causing both to flush a bright red.

Over the next few weeks Hoseok, Yoongi and Namjoon had to start sending out college applications. Hoseok and Namjoon being the people they were had already spent months researching and creating applications for different colleges and universities. Yoongi on the other hand had done almost no research. He didn't even know what he wanted to do in the future. Sure something with music would be amazing, but there wasn't anything really reliable. If Yoongi was being completely honest he didn't even really wanna go to college.

The thought of paying thousands of dollars to listen to someone talk couldn't sound any less appealing in Yoongi's mind. Maybe he'd just go to school for music or something, that could work. Hoseok and Yoongi worked together looking for schools. Hoseok was very passionate about dance and performance so he looked for a school that specialized in that. Yoongi looked for programmes in those schools that seemed remotely interesting to him. However there was a consistent problem that kept arising. Hoseok and Yoongi were both very different people, Hoseok paid attention in class, did the homework, got good marks. Yoongi on the other hand barely passed his classes. Unfortunately most of the schools Hoseok was looking into need higher grades. Something seemingly unobtainable for Yoongi.

The couple spent weeks researching schools they both had interests in, they wanted to stay together. Most people say that you weren't supposed to choose a university based on what your boyfriend wants, but Yoongi didn't really want anything. On the side Yoongi looked for jobs and internships around the different places Hoseok wanted to go. Just because he wasn't in school doesn't mean he couldn't do anything.

.......

Report cards were coming out within the week, which means that Hoseok and Yoongi finally needed to make some decisions. Universities were now expecting applications which only elevated everyone's stress levels. Because Hoseok liked to hold everything in, the stress seemed to really effect everything he did. He wasn't as focused in class, he wasn't as funny while talking, he wasn't as energetic as he danced. This only got worse as the application date approached.

Because Hoseok wanted to apply for a dance programme, most schools also required a demonstration of your dance skills. Hoseok and his teacher worked for hours trying to come up with choreography. But no matter how many times be practiced it wasn't good enough, it wasn't absolute perfection. He spent every second he could perfecting that dance. During lunch he snuck off to the theatre to practice after getting permission from Mr.Kim. After school he went directly to the dance studio to practice, even before the teachers got there. There was no sleep, no food, no anything until he managed to get the choreography perfect. And as exhaustion started to set in, that task was becoming more and more difficult.
