It was now after school. People were either staying in for after-school activities or clubs or they were heading home. At least that's what Yoongi saw through the window of his classroom. Yoongi was sitting in his last class finishing up some extra work.

Jin and Namjoon wouldn't be able to walk Yoongi home like they usually did. It was because Jin had some kind of family emergency or something and he wanted Namjoon to come with him. Yoongi may not be able to relate but he understood.

Yoongi was perfectly fine walking home by himself. Little did he know that Jin told Taehyung to walk Yoongi home before he left with Namjoon. Taehyung obviously agreed. Maybe he and Yoongi could become closer because of this?

Yoongi walked out of the class and down the long hallway. He had finished all his work and was now heading home.

The school was rather empty, apart from the few clubs inside the building. Yoongi walked past the school gates outside and started walking home.

Meanwhile, Taehyung was being held up in class. The few people that stayed after-school were bothering Taehyung. He has something to do, why can't people just leave him alone?

Taehyung didn't ask to be popular. In fact, not too long ago he was a nobody. That is until his parents became well known and rich. His mother was a model while his father was the CEO of a company.

That was when everyone wanted to be around Taehyung. After a few minutes of pushing past people, he made a run for it. He used to run track so no one could catch up with him

After running in the direction of Yoongi's house Taehyung stopped at a nearby corner to catch his breath. Damn, it had been a while since he ran that far before.

As Taehyung was catching his breath he decided to peak past the corner of a building. What he saw shocked him.

It was Yoongi and two other guys. One of the guys were kicking at Yoongi's sides while the other was poking him with something.

Before Taehyung could react the two of them ran off for some reason. Taehyung ran beside Yoongi. He was just sitting there, tears lightly falling down his small face.

Taehyung looked over Yoongi and gasped "Baby you're bleeding!" Yoongi shook his head as he tried to stand. He fell back down to his knees, clutching his arm.

"Aw, babe" Taehyung said as he picked up Yoongi bridal style, much to Yoongi's displeasure.

Goddamnit, Yoongi thought. Now he was being carried by Taehyung. He had said he was taking Yoongi home to fix him up.

Yoongi didn't want to admit it, but he liked this. Not being hurt. He liked being in Taehyung's arms. The reason why this was different from his past relationship is that Taehyung didn't reak of alcohol and he had good intentions. At least, Yoongi hopes Taehyung has good intentions.

Finally, they reached Taehyung's house. It was quite a huge house. Taehyung opened the door and gently placed Yoongi upright on a nearby couch.

Yoongi watched as Taehyung rushed to the bathroom. He came back with a first aid kit. Taehyung set the kit down and unloaded its contents

"Babe the shirt needs to come off," Taehyung said casually. If it weren't for this situation that statement would've been taken the other way.

His ex said the exact same words, but they were in a different context. Taehyung looked over to see Yoongi hadn't taken off his shirt.

He walked towards him and kneeled to his eye level "Yoongi, please I need to make sure you're okay" Taehyung said softly.

Yoongi looked away from him. Taehyung's expression looked so full of concern, yet care. It made his heart skip a beat.

This is how it went last time, with Min-jun. That was the first and last time his heart skipped a beat.

When Yoongi looked back to Taehyung he was staring at him with the fondest look he's ever seen.

Yoongi gave in. He took off his shirt and threw it to the side. Yoongi looked away as Taehyung studied his body in shock.

Taehyung looked at the bruises on both of Yoongi's sides. He knew that those bastards did that. However, when he looked at Yoongi's arms there were cuts. Some looked deeper than others.

"Yoongi? Did you do this to yourself?" Taehyung asked slowly and softly. Yoongi didn't answer. Instead, he cried.

Actually cried was an understatement. He was sobbing. Yoongi didn't understand why. He never broke down like this. Why was Taehyung breaking down all the walls he had built up over the years?

Taehyung hugged Yoongi close. Muffled sobs filled the room. Taehyung, in an attempt to comfort and soothe the younger, started to pet Yoongi's head.

This seemed to have worked. Yoongi's sobs turned into sniffles as Taehyung played with his hair. Yoongi felt, oddly calm now. He hasn't felt this calm in almost two years since his last breakup.

He was so calm that he didn't even fully process the fact that Taehyung planted a soft yet loving kiss on the top of his head.

Taehyung felt amazing. Almost euphoric. He was doing something he'd always wanted to do: cuddling with his soulmate.

Doesn't matter if you don't consider this cuddling, Taehyung does and that's all that matters right now.

Eventually, Taehyung had to pull away to his disappointment. Little did he know that Yoongi also experienced a little displeasure when he pulled away. He had to bandage up Yoongi. So that's what he did.

Taehyung felt around Yoongi's torso for any broken bones, which made Yoongi squirm under his touch. Taehyung didn't feel anything broken thankfully.

After bandaging Yoongi up, including his cuts, Taehyung stood up. He walked away to some other room. Yoongi watched as Taehyung entered the room with a black t-shirt in his hand.

He walked up to Yoongi and held his arms up. Taehyung then proceeded to put the shirt on Yoongi like he was a little baby.

Yoongi didn't protest though. He loved oversized shirts or sweaters. In fact, most of his closet was filled with oversized shirts.

Before Yoongi could comprehend what happened, Taehyung picked him up and carried him upstairs and into a room.

He set Yoongi down with care like he was going to disappear without a trace. Taehyung yawned as he sat beside Yoongi.

Then he spoke up "Yoongi, why did you cut yourself?" Taehyung didn't think that Yoongi was going to tell him but he asked anyway.

When he heard a faint sniffle come from Yoongi he instantly pulled him close and pet his fluffy hair again.

"You know what? I'm sorry for asking. It must not very easy to talk about so I'll let you decide when or if you should tell me" Taehyung said as he smiled a boxy smile towards Yoongi

And, for the first time, Yoongi gave Taehyung a little smirk

Taehyung will forever keep this moment in his head
