DADDY ISSUES.

six

TAEHYUNG sighs as he places down his phone, rubbing his temples. he gets out of his bed, wobbling to the closet to get some new clothes. an oversized t-shirt and boy shorts wouldn't be very appropriate to wear to a therapy appointment.

he puffs up his slightly chubby cheeks as his eyes wander around his closet. he grabs a white shirt, black sweatpants and a very oversized, grey jacket.

he quickly rips off his t-shirt and doesn't bother taking off his boy shorts, him planning to just wear them under the sweatpants. he throws the shirt over his head and slides the pants up his legs. he tightens the drawstring around his small waist before putting on his jacket. he puts on some adidas slides as he grabs his keys and phone. he exits the small apartment, the one he's been living in ever since she died.

he quickly runs down the stairs, not paying attention at all. he was already late. he screeches when his delicate body comes in connect with a solid build, causing him to fall backwards. he looks up wide eyes to be met with a bright red face and cute, brown, doe-like eyes that he could easily get lost in.

"t–taehyung?" the person studders out, breaking him out of his daze.

"h–huh? oh- do i know you?" taehyung questions.

"oh, erm.. we went to middle school, high school and we go to the same college." he says timidly, fidgeting with his fingers.

"oh-... now that i look at it, i do recognize you.. um... j.. jeonghan, is it?" taehyung asks slightly wide eyed, studying the now familiar boy.

"um close.. its jeongguk.." the person chuckles a honey sweet laugh, making taehyung's heart slightly been faster.

"oh.. sorry for getting your name wrong..  c-can you help me up?"

"o-oh, sure...!" he says anxiously as he reaches out his hand and delicately helps him up. taehyung's heart pounds against his ribcage and as he stares at their two hands, a feeling that he never really felt before but he kind of liked it. he lets go of the latter's hand and quickly bows, apologizing a quick thank you.

"um, see you around?"

"yeah. see you." jeongguk mumbles, slightly bowing his head as he waves shyly.

taehyung smiles at him and quickly runs out the building. he presses a button on his car keys, it beeping as he makes his way towards it. he enters it quickly and places his hands on the steering wheel, a grin plastered on his face.

"jeongguk, huh?"
