Last time...

"Go away, brat," Yoongi huffed harshly. "I already have to interact with you enough for this damned presentation."

Jimin felt a wave of relief. Yoongi was still the normal, angry Yoongi he always is.

After about half an hour of sitting through presentations, Jimin and Yoongi's presentation was next. The two boys got up, picking up their note cards, and walked to the front of the room.

To Jimin's surprise..

The presentation went smoothly.

Neither boy messed up a single time, and their presentation's information was well put together, despite the challenges it took to make it.

Both Yoongi and Jimin were shocked to get a 100% on the presentation, Yoongi especially. Yoongi never got this kind of grade on anything.

When the presentation was over, and the boys were walking back to their desk, Yoongi stopped and faced Jimin.

"You know, despite how much I was dreading this presentation, it wasn't that bad," Yoongi said to the younger boy. "Th.. thank you for helping with the presentation," He continued. His gaze drifted to his feet and his voice got much quieter as he said this. "now sit down, you brat," Yoongi quickly added with a growl.

Jimin chuckled and smiled. He's still the regular old Yoongi. Jimin thought with relief.

Unfortunately, to Yoongi's dismay, being in the same classes as Jimin isn't always good. For some reason, fate likes to do Yoongi dirty, because the two boys ended up in another project. Only this time it was in their music class.

"How is it that by chance, we ended up as partners again?" Yoongi grumbled as they walked out the front doors of the school.

"Isn't that good for you, Yoongi?" Jimin asked. "I'd help you get a better grade anyways."

"W-well.. yeah, but I hate working with other people," Yoongi huffed. Especially you.

Jimin chuckled.

"Well, what do we have to do for the project again?" Jimin changed the subject as he tried to do his best in the project, even if his partner isn't the most positive.

"We have to make and record a song."

"Well that sounds easy enough! Though.. I don't have any equipment for that. It's too expensive, and my parents aren't that well off with money."

"Don't worry, kid, I have a whole slew of equipment at home," Yoongi said with a smirk.

"Really?" Jimin's eyes lit up like a christmas tree.

"Of course. I make my own music all the time."

Jimin stopped in his tracks, Yoongi soon doing the same.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go over to your house to work on the project!" Jimin exclaimed. Yoongi almost smiled at the younger's enthusiasm. 

It didn't take long before they arrived at Yoongi's house and had quickly settled into his bedroom. Jimin waited patiently on Yoongi's bed as Yoongi set up his equipment.

Once everything was set up, the older boy got out a piece of paper and a pencil.

"Alright, let's start coming up with ideas," Yoongi started.

"What genre should we focus on?" Jimin asked.

"Hm.. rap? That's what I usually make anyways."

"Uh.. I don't really like rap that much. I was thinking something like a slower soft song?

"Let's just mix the two," Yoongi offered.

"Maybe that'll be good!" Jimin smiled.

After an hour or so of writing down ideas for the song, coming up with lyrics and composing an instrumental, the two boys were finally able to start recording their lines.

It didn't take long for Jimin to get used to the fancy, expensive equipment, and his lines were soon after finished.

And just like that, everything was put together and complete.

"Can you believe we finished the project so fast?" Jimin remarked. Yoongi smirked.

"You know what, I'm almost glad we hung out and made this project together." Yoongi said as he gave Jimin's back a pat. Jimin shoved his arm away playfully, and hit him back. Before long, the two boys got into a playful fight, smiling and giggling.

Then Jimins' foot got caught on a series of cords snaking across the floor.

.

.

Jimin tripped and fell.

.

.

The last thing heard was a loud thump, followed by a crash.

.

.

Utter silence.

.

.

Then Jimin's whimpers as tears began to slide down his rosy cheeks as Yoongi yelled at him.

.

.

The expensive equipment used to make their greatest accomplishment together had been dragged to the ground, broken.

"What the hell, you fucking idiot! How could you have broken all of that? That costs a fortune!" the older spat at the younger, his skin flushed in rage.

"Y-yoongi.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! My foot got caught, a-and I t-tripped, and it fell with me.." Jimin stammered, the tears now coming down in a constant flow as he used his sweater sleeve to soak them up.

"You're paying for all of it." Yoongi stated.

"B-but.."

"I couldn't care less about what you have to say."

Jimin nodded and sniffled, his bottom lip quivering, his hands shaking, as he continued to wipe the tears from his soaked face.

And with that, Jimin was kicked out of Yoongi's house.

"Don't come back until you've got the money to pay for it. All 2.2 million won* of it."
