"Why do I have to come all the way here for a dance class? Why not just hire an instructor who actually comes to your home? I will pay for one if you don't want to but it's too early for this?" Jungkook whined all the way to the dance studio. Taehyung thought it would be fun if they did something outside of their home or private club, just the two of them but the problem was that he had to attend meetings with his mother all day hence the insanely early lesson on a Saturday.

"You are going to love it! This is the best studio in town... the owner does not allow home visits but he does private lessons in studio. If you hate it we will never come back but only after you have tried it." Jungkook glared at his best friend who was too happy for an early morning. "You see that you psycho even the receptionist has not come to work yet so why are we here!" Jungkook continued his protests.

"I pulled a lot of favors to get us this lesson so stop all that whining." Taehyung received a call from the instructor as they approached the studio room who told him that he would not be able to make it, his husband was hurt so in turn he would send his best instructor and also offer them a refund and although Taehyung was disappointed that the owner would not be there, he knew that the other instructor was just as good. He had heard of him as well... Jimin was his name he believed, if he was right so it was not so bad so he declined the refund since they would be getting a lesson anyway.

Jimin was an early riser so he was all ready for the day when he got a call from his boss to go in for a private lesson. It was his day off so he was a little reluctant until the man said he would pay him double for his trouble. It was already a blessing that Hoseok had hired him at such a young age. He started working there at thirteen doing odd jobs around the studio, running errands to help his brother out with bills which he was not very happy about so in the end he could only work weekends and Friday evenings.

Their house was only fifteen minutes away from the studio so he had only five minutes to have breakfast. He and his brother had moved out of the family home to avoid child services two years prior after their parents died in an accident. They had no other relatives and Yoongi was still two young to be his brother's legal guardian. The money their parents left them was not a lot so they used it for monthly rent and buying some clothing items if it was absolutely necessary and for food and other things Yoongi started selling his songs but that didn't always work out since he was too young, people took advantage of him.

He feel into a heavy depression after almost two years of fruitless efforts and their funds almost exhausted and he was hospitalized for three months. Three months of which Jimin had to fend for himself and that was when Hoseok found him wandering around looking for work and hired him, later giving him free lessons and Jimin discovering his talent in dancing. Through his depression Yoongi never stopped writing music and sending it out to different companies and he got a break when Big Hit hired him and things got better for them.

A year later Yoongi was old enough to take custody of him and so they moved back home. It had been three years since he started working at the studio, his hyung was also getting a sturdy paycheck but it still felt nice to help where he could and be able to buy things for himself and his brother. His classes were popular despite his young age.

"Hyung I am going to the studio I will be back in an hour!" He shouted from downstairs even though he knew it was worthless his brother slept like a log, he would probably find him still asleep when he came back. He arrived at the studio just in time. The second Jungkook opened the door laid eyes on him... He was mesmerized. At eighteen he had seen and dated all kinds of guys and never had he been so completely taken by a guy from only seeing him. His heart beat so fast and he couldn't help but smile when the guy smiled. "Hi... I am Min Jimin and I will be your instructor today." He introduced himself as he shook both their hands.

Taehyung could see the stupid look on his friends face and he knew he had made the biggest mistake of his life. All his life he wished Jungkook could look at him like that and wondered if he make that face too when looking at him. He thought a sexy dance lesson would get them closer together but it only ended in his friend falling in love. In that moment he resent the boy, he was jealous but it was too late because Cupid had struck his friend and the red string did not attach to him but to the new boy. He should have taken the refund when the instructor offered.

Jungkook started coming every Saturday with Taehyung and first but then his friend started being distant and rejecting his offer to come with so he went by himself and then started coming on Fridays and Sundays as well. Finally he found the courage to ask him out and his answer had been one that lead to the best years of his life so far. The more he knew about Jimin, the struggles he had gone through and still being able to smile like that the more he liked him. Jimin was his saving grace, in a world where
