For Our Namjoon ☆Namjoon Birthday Special☆

5.

Taehyung ran into the kitchen and stopped when he saw Namjoon at the sink.

"Hey Tae, did you and Jimin make up? No more fighting right?" Namjoon asked with a smile.

Taehyung's face reddened in embarrassment, he hadn't meant to get into a fight with Jimin. He was just passionate about his burgers.

"Yeah, no more fighting Hyung. We're okay now, but I was wondering if you could help me with something?"

Namjoon finished washing his plate and nodded his head.

"What do you need help with Taehyung?"

Taehyung sat at the table, as did Namjoon and Tae took a big breath.

"I was wondering if you could help me with some more English words and stuff. I want to be able to talk to our international Army as easily as you do. I know it'll take some time but I'm willing to learn if you'll help me."

Namjoon smiled so hard he almost cried. Taehyung could have easily wanted to learn English from books or audio tapes but he wanted to learn from him, like Namjoon learned from watching Friends.

Namjoon went and grabbed a notebook from his room and went back to the kitchen. He wrote out simple greetings and small sentences for Taehyung to pronounce.

Taehyung would get frustrated and wanted to nearly cry when he couldn't get most of the words right, but Namjoon would tell him to take his time and slow his pace, that it wasn't a race.

"Repeat after me Taehyung, 'Hello guys, my name is V. It's very nice to meet all of you.'"

Namjoon said the sentence as slow as he could, but not too slow. He didn't want to make Tae feel like he was making fun of him.

"Hello guys, my name is V. It's very nice to meet all of you."

Taehyung beamed his boxy smile when the sentence came out clearly and he didn't slur. The sight warmed Namjoon's heart to see how happy he was making the maknae.

Jungkook occasionally popped into the kitchen and joined in with Taehyung, both young men took turns pronouncing words and speaking clear sentences, appraising Namjoon for taking time out of his day before his birthday to help them.

"You guys are catching on to this quicker than I thought. Pretty soon all the international Armies will want to hear more from you both."

Jungkook rubbed the back of his head and chuckled and Taehyung tried to hide his red face. Both were now really self conscious.

Namjoon laughed at them and stood then stretched.

"Ah, my birthday being tomorrow doesn't mean that I can't help my family when they need me. I wouldn't be much of a good friend if I ignored all of you."

His words touched Taehyung and Jungkook. They only ever thought he helped them because he was their leader and it was his job. Never had they figured they meant so much to Namjoon.

"Thank you Hyung." Jungkook said wiping a stray tear.

"Yeah, thank you so much for everything and all your help Namjoon-Hyung." Taehyung said brokenly, wiping a bunch of tears.

Namjoon hugged them both and went upstairs to his room for the night. After Taehyung was done crying he opened the cabinet above the sink, smiling at a box in green wrapping paper.

Taehyung smiled to Jungkook who smiled back then grabbed the present for Namjoon's birthday.
