Fire on Fire ~TaeJin~

chapter 14: remedy

It was a month after new years. It was raining roughly. Taehyung had an assignment for today. A natural scenery paint.he. he did it with all his passion, care and love. He was satisfied,. He didn't know if teacher will like it or not. It wasn't his first painting. Sure he had painted before as an art student still he was worried. He carried the canvas carefully to his collage, took a taxi for preventing it to be wet. He entered class with confidence. Actually he was confident until one of those asshole classmates bumped into Taehyung. Canvas fell down. The other classmates took the canvas and observed it like they were the best painters.
"It's so simple"

"Every child can paint better than you"

"Have you ever painted in your life?"

"The paint you've used is cheap and shlocky"

"You don't know anything about art Tae"

Taehyung could hear voices from all over the class. He couldn't tolerate. He ran out of class. He couldn't hold his tears anymore, he was never confident about himself. He never could be. He sometimes wondered if he worth to be in this article collage. Still with all of his unconfident he loved art and always wished to be a professional painter in future. Unfortunately everything effected and influenced him easily. Jimin and Jungkook would do their best to comfort Taehyung about his talented paints but soon it would disappear. He had so many insecurities and out his art skills.
The incident was too much, his classmates weren't bullies. They were only assholes toward the unconfident, shy boy of the class. Taehyung was running and crying under the rain. He didn't know where he was running. He ran and ran untill he stop in front of one particular shop "the truth untold ". Taehyung was hesitating to enter. He was wet and crying with red, swollen eyes. Still Taehyung knew the owner of the shop could take care of him very well. He closed his eyes and entered the shop. Heard the ringing sound with classical music, he opened his eyes only to see Seokjin and a customer looking at him. Seokjin was shocked with a frown plastered on his lips, Seokjin was frozen and didn't respond to the customer. Only stated at Taehyung. Soon the customer got bored of the silence and exited the shop. The door sound brought Seokjin back to reality. He approached the crying boy rapidly. Seokjin hugged Taehyung tightly. This action was enough for Taehyung to sob hardly. His head on Seokjin's shoulder, hands fisted against Seokjin's chest. Seokjin was patting Taehyung's back lightly. Caressing his hair.

"Don't cry Taehyung, it breaks my heart" Seokjin said with concern. Taehyung pulled back.

"So.... sorry h....yung. I made you wet " Taehyung stuttered.

"Hey its okay, just don't cry " Seokjin answered weeded the tears away. Taehyung nodded. Tried to fight back his tears.

"You should tell me what happened Taehyung " Seokjin said, removed Taehyung's locks from his eyes. Dried Taehyung's face with his hand. Caressed Taehyung's cheek. Seokjin leaned in and planted a deep kiss on Taehyung's forehead. A calm, relaxing kiss.

"First let's change your clothes, you'll get sick" Seokjin said before kissing Taehyung again. Seokjin pushed Taehyung delicately toward office and went out. Taehyung was crying calmly the whole time. Seokjin came back with a baby blue hoodie.

"Change your clothes while I'm making tea for you, okay?" Seokjin said, Ruffled younger's hair before heading to kitchen. Taehyung took off his wet, cold clothes and wore the warm oversize hoodie. He breathed deeply. The whole hoodie was smelling Seokjin's vanilla aroma. This scent, those touches were remedies for Taehyung's soul.
Seokjin came back with two cup of tea. He observed Taehyung.

"It's suits you so much" Seokjin said with a bright smile.

"I'll wash and return it tomorrow. I promise" Taehyung answered shyly under Seokjin's burning gaze.
