dance teacher

《train ride》

As they sat and time passed, Jungkook scrolled through his feed again so he could show Jimin the post about the dance classes. He found it and rushed to show a sleepy Jimin. He slighty shook his shoulder as he positioned the phone in front of Jimin.

"Hyung I wanted to show you this earlier... here, take a look."

"Jungkook, I was-
Oh my God is THE Jung Hoseok actually at the university?"

"Yes, hyung!!
Isn't this great?
He's at our school!!"

Jimin was so shocked he started to blush at the thought of a famous dancer being at their new school. He looked down to hide his flush.

"Of course that would be amazin-"

Jimin cut himself off when he saw the cuts on Jungkooks ankles. With hesitation he looked up and asked;

"Jungkook, what happened to your ankles?.."

"Hm?... Oh, nothing hyung"

Jungkooks expression changed to a reassuring, somber one. He didn't want his incident to be the center of attention. Thus, he decided to say;

"As I was walking here I must've walked into some thorns or something. It's nothing!"

He smiled his innocence bunny toothed smile, making Jimin give in to his white lie.

"Ok hyung, as you were saying?..."

"Oh yeah, it would be amazing to meet him!"

Jimin knew a lot about Jungkook's situation. Jungkook's mom had an ongoing drinking problem, usually taking her anger out on the poor boy, and Jungkook had his way of coping... Jungkook would cope by dancing until his legs gave out from underneath him, and would fall to the ground, sweaty and dazed. Sometimes, he wanted to butt in and help Jungkook in anyway possible, but Jimin knew he would decline his offers and tell him everything was fine. He used to try, but Jungkook kept refusing, so he just sits idly by and watch in anxiousness.

He only wanted to see his friend happy, and maybe one day he would appreciate Jimin more.

"Hey Jungkook,
where did you plan on staying when we got to the university?"

"Hm? Oh- I didn't think about that yet... Maybe I'll find somewhere to stay when we get there."

"I got a dorm for us to stay in over there, it's pretty big... I was wondering if you wanted to stay there so it'll save you all the trouble."

Jimin just wanted the best for his friend. He wanted to always be near his side, so Jungkook could count on Jimin. He loved his maknae; he meant the world to him.

Jungkook contemplated for a while, and looked out the window into the mist.

"Come on now, I'll need an answer before we get there so I know whether to make breakfast for two or not."

Jimin said jokingly as he leaned forward. Jungkook snickered at his sarcastic joke, and nodded his head in agreement.

"Yes hung, I'll stay with you, if only you actually promise to cook."

"Yes, yes of course I'll cook. I dont need you burning the kitchen."

They both heaved a greatly needed laugh, and discussed more about their stay.

Time passed as they talked, and eventually they arrived in Seoul, where they got off and collected their items.
