My Forever Boy | TaeGi

Chapter Five

"Go ahead and change out of your uniform, I'm going to go down to the library and use the computer to find you a school. Could you go grocery shopping?" Yoongi's mother asked as they sat in the car outside of their apartment complex.

Yoongi nodded and smiled. "Yeah, should I just get the usual or do you need anything special?" Yoongi asked. His mother shook her head. "No, just the usual." She said as she handed him the cash.

Yoongi nodded again. "Okay, I'll see you when you get home." Yoongi said before he got out and walked inside.

Yoongi walked over to his apartment and unlocked the door. He walked inside and went to his room to grab his skate board and empty his backpack before he left again to go grocery shopping, setting the money on his desk.

Once he was outside, Yoongi slung his empty backpack on one shoulder before he ran a bit and jumped on his board as he dropped it to the ground. He smiled a bit as he rode all the way to the store.

When he got there, he kicked his board up and put it in his backpack. He walked inside and tried his best to ignore the way everyone looked at him. He grabbed a basket and walked around the store collecting the groceries he needed.

As he was getting closer to the wines and flowers, he heard a familiar voice. "Yeah, the best flowers you have. Plus a dozen roses."

Yoongi smiled brightly as he rounded the corner. "Joon-hyung!" He said enthusiastically.

Namjoon turned and smiled. "Hey!" He said happily at first. "Hey!" He said sternly right after. "Why aren't you in school?" He asked.

Yoongi smiled. "Mom withdrew me. She's trying to find me a new school right now. She told me to get the groceries." Yoongi said. "What are you doing, hyung?" Yoongi asked. "Don't you have work?"

Namjoon nodded. "We had a half day... you know, I could probably get you into my school!" Namjoon said.

Yoongi scrunched up his nose. "Don't think I belong at a rich kid school. Also, doubt mom could pay for the tuition." Yoongi said.

Namjoon shook his head. "I'd take care of it." He said.

Yoongi smiled. "That's very nice of you, hyung but I couldn't let you." Yoongi said. Namjoon smiled and patted the younger's back. "Yoongi-ah, you're a kid... you have no choice in the matter. I'm going to talk to your mother." Namjoon said.

Yoongi sighed softly. "She won't let you either. Well, I'll see you later, hyung. Can't let the frozen stuff melt!" Yoongi said before he waved to the elder and walked away.

Yoongi sighed softly as he waited for the cashier to finish ringing up his items. He looked over at the doors as they opened and a boy about his age stumbled in. Yoongi watched as an employee at the store approached him.

"Taehyung, you're late! You said you could come early today-" the employee said. "I know, I know! I'm so sorry sir! I'm very grateful that you're letting me work extra hours today! I promise I won't be late again!" The boy said enthusiastically.

Yoongi's mouth hung open a bit as he took in the boy's gorgeous profile. "Whoa..." Yoongi whispered to himself before he junped a bit as his cashier spoke to him. "That'll be 277,470.82 won, sir." She said.

Yoongi quickly patted his pockets down in search for the cash. "I um... I'm sorry just give me a moment." He mumbled as he pulled his backpack off and pulled his skateboard out and let it hit the ground, making everyone look at him as he frantically searched his backpack.

Yoongi blushed with embarrassment as the people behind him began to talk amongst themselves. Namjoon walked past the line Yoongi had held up before he pouted and made his way through the people. "Yoongi-ah, it's okay. I got it." He whispered to the younger.

Namjoon turned to the people behind them. "Sorry! He was waiting on me." He said as he added his things to Yoongi's bill. Yoongi pulled his hoodie up as he grabbed his groceries and shoved the unbreakable things inside of his backpack. Namjoon watched him with a frown before he smiled again and took the receipt.

Yoongi looked up after he had put his backpack back on, his eyes meeting the boy who had caught his attention earlier. Yoongi blushed more as the boy didn't even glance his way, he didn't seem to know or to care what was going on like everyone else in the store. Yoongi gulped at the boy's pretty side profile.

"Yoongi, you ready?" Namjoon asked him as he grabbed his bag. Yoongi kicked his board up and nodded as he watched the pretty boy walk away with the other employee.

Namjoon watched Yoongi as they walked out of the store. "Yoongi, you okay?" Namjoon asked.

Yoongi groaned as he remembered what just happened. "Mom's money! I fucking lost it, hyung!" Yoongi said. Namjoon nodded. "Wanna go retrace your steps? Maybe it fell out on the way here." Namjoon said.

Yoongi sighed and nodded. "But I gotta get the frozen stuff home..." Namjoon patted his back. "We'll take that back first. Come on." He said as he lead the younger to his car.

Namjoon lifted the couch as Yoongi got down and looked underneath it. Yoongi sighed out as he stood back up. "No..." he said as he looked down. Namjoon grunted after he set the couch back down. "Go check the trash can and sink, we'll look everywhere. if I find it though, you're coming to my school." He said as he went to go look in Yoongi's room. Yoongi sighed out as he walked over and checked the trash can and sink, not finding anything.

"WELP! SEEMS LIKE I'LL BE SEEING YOU EVERYDAY!" Namjoon shouted as he walked out of Yoongi's room with a wad of cash.

Yoongi ran over and hugged Namjoon tightly. "Oh my god! Thank you hyung! THANK YOU! H-How much do I owe you?!" Yoongi asked as he took the money and started to count it.

Namjoon smiled. "Come to my school. That's how you can pay me back. Come and don't get into any fights. I just want to see you succeed in life Yoongi-ah." Namjoon said. Yoongi shook his head. "No no, I have to pay you back!" Yoongi said. Namjoon shook his head as the front door opened.

"Well... I couldn't find anyone willing to take you... looks like we'll have to move." Yoongi's mother said as she walked into the apartment.

Yoongi quickly hid the money behind his back. "We'll have to move?" Yoongi asked in a low voice. His mother nodded as she walked further into the apartment. "Oh, Namjoon, I didn't know you were here." She said.

Namjoon looked at Yoongi before he looked back at her and smiled. "Actually, I ran into Yoongi-ah at the grocery store... he told me what happened and I was wondering if I could help?!"

Yoongi's mother furrowed her eyebrows. "How sweetheart? I've called every single public school in our district and in my mother's."

Namjoon adjusted his jacket. "My school! I teach English at Bogyum Prep! It's a Private High School. I could get him in there free of charge!" Namjoon said.

Yoongi's mother raised her eyebrows. "You really think you could get him in? That's one of best schools in the country!" Namjoon nodded. "Yes! And his tuition, books, and uniform cost would all be covered. Plus I'd be there to keep an eye on him! What do you say, Ms. Min?"

Yoongi's mother looked at Yoongi before she looked at Namjoon. She smiled as she teared up. "Oh thank you so much, Namjoonie!" She said as she engulfed the younger boy in a tight hug. "You and Jinnie take such good care of my baby! I promise we'll make it up to you! And Yoongi promises to behave and try his best! Right, Yoongi?" She asked.

Yoongi sighed out. "Yeah... thanks hyung. Can't wait!" Yoongi said with a small smile as the two adults smiled and spoke further about the school.

"Bogyum Prep... please don't suck." Yoongi said to himself before he was pulled into a group hug by Namjoon and his mother. "You'll love it there, Yoongi-ah! I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends!" Namjoon said as he squeezed the younger. Yoongi sighed. "Yeah, I bet..."
