VHope / Fluff
As the large room was so silent, Hoseok couldn't help but hear the mumbles of the people around him. He knew they really shouldn't be making any sounds but those of writing and turning pages during this exam, but he understood that they must be feeling anxious and stressed.
Was he feeling that way too? No, not at all.
Hoseok had been preparing for this university entrance exam for as long as he could remember. His parents had his future all laid out for him, and it was a future he also wanted, so intense studying had filled his personal bedroom nearly every single day.
Now that he was here, he felt so confident, and every question and scenario presented to him on the exam papers were all so simple and easy for him.
Still, his confidence didn't stop him from noticing the guy sitting beside him, clearly struggling. His mumbles of stress and worry rang in Hoseok's ears.
"Take a breath," Hoseok whispered, not even looking in the guy's direction. He didn't want to be caught talking; that would get them both kicked out of the room and disqualified from the exam.
The guy definitely heard him, the mumbles stopping. "But..."
"Don't look at every question at once." With his own exam almost complete already, Hoseok could spare a moment to help the fellow beside him with his nerves. "Imagine you're just studying again. This isn't an exam. You're in your room, calm and alone."
That seemed to work. The guy beside Hoseok took a deep breath and apparently found the ability to calm down. With no more mumbling, he sat in silence for a couple minutes before beginning to write, answering questions.
Hoseok resumed his own exam, glad that he could assist someone. Once he was finished, all he could do was listen to the ticking of the clock and wait for the time to be over. He expected that he did well, all the questions and scenarios being very similar to ones he'd worked through during his studies.
What he didn't expect was to be approached after the exam. But he was.
"Hey, wait up!"
Stopping in his tracks right outside the large exam room, Hoseok looked back and saw a guy hurrying toward him. "Yes?"
"Thank you so much for helping me calm down." The guy smiled widely. "I think I did well after that."
Realizing that this person was the guy who'd been sitting beside him during the exam, Hoseok smiled back. "I'm glad I could help. I always find it helpful to just imagine every exam and test as more studying."
Extending a hand toward Hoseok, the guy was practically beaming. "I'm Taehyung."
"Hoseok." Grabbing the guy's hand, Hoseok knew this was the start of a bond. "If you like, we can study together sometime, and I can give you some more pointers."
"I would love that." As soon as he retracted his hand, Taehyung fished his phone from his pocket. "My mom is going to be so happy that I did well and even made a study buddy."
All Hoseok could do was grin and give a small chuckle as he saw Taehyung's thumbs tap his phone with such excitement, sending the happy text to his mother.
