Daddy Taehyung

"You seem to be getting too accustomed to this place for the wrong reasons my dear," Haeri spoke after she wrapped a bandage around Sooyeong's torso.

Sooyeong pulled her shirt down and played with the hem, "Twice isn't accustomed and it's not like I haven't been here before."

"Twice is too many. If there are people bullying you. Confide in me, and I'll report directly to the headmaster so he can personally take care of this."

"It's already being handled by him," Her feet edged close to the floor. "And if we're done here can I please go?"

The elder women gave a gentle smile and nodded. Sooyeong got up with a little groan and searched for her backpack but it was nowhere to be seen.

"If you're looking for your backpack that young man, Taehyung, has it."

Sooyeong looked over at Haeri, who seemed to be elated for some reason. However, she didn't question it, rather she just nodded. All she wanted to do was to get out of there and find her friends because she was pretty sure the headmaster would punish them all since they all made contact with the other party. She didn't want them to take the fall alone especially if she was part of the reason why things have been going awry.

"Thank you Haeri-nim, you always take good care of me." Sooyeong bowed before turning to leave.

It was after lunch now and Sooyeong followed the corridor which would eventually lead to Bang Shihyuk's office. However, as she passed the cafeteria, someone caught her eye.

"Jungkook ah?" her soft voice caught the said boys' attention. "What are you doing wiping the tables? And what did Principal Bang say?"

"Oh Sooyeong noona!" Jungkook smiled at her presence. "How is your tummy? Are you alright now?"

The amount of innocence Jungkook showed now phased her beyond human comprehension because just a while ago he was angry as *Snowball such that he could've taken on an entire army by himself.

"Haeri-nim bandaged it up. It hurts a little but I'll be okay." She assured but Jungkook embraced her in a warm side hug. "J-Jungkook,"

"I'm glad you're alright, and Hitman Bang ordered us on cleaning duty because he didn't want to dent our student record since it's our first time offence."

She awed in realisation, "Then let me help you."

She made to grab the cloth from Jungkook but he pulled back at lightening speed, "No!" He exclaimed. "You do enough of this already so it's time those jerks feel the pinch."

Her head turned in the direction Jungkook's head nodded in after he spoke. She noticed Minho, wiping the far end tables just like Jungkook was and not far from him was Dansae and a female student sweeping the floors.

"Is that Ahro?" she narrowed her eyes to get a good look.

"Yeah," he chirped. "She got caught in the crossfire which is good though..."

She just stared at him with raised eyebrows as he went back to cleaning as if it wasn't punishment. She watched as he aggressively knocked over the empty wrappers and bottles with each wipe sending them shooting to the floor.

"You're doing a stellar job with wiping the table tops clean but isn't that garbage packet next to you for all of the dirt you're hitting off the table?"

"Since those jerks are stuck sweeping the floor I might as well give them something to sweep." He shrugged and went onto the next table but Sooyeong only chuckled, and followed him.

"You're a real dork Jungoo and speaking of might as well, don't you live by the philosophy; if you're going to get into trouble for hitting someone you might as well hit them hard."

He gave her the biggest smile, "Of course and don't act like you didn't want to hit Dansae either. I just did you a favour since he was literally asking for it."

"Guess I have three knight in shining armours." She said pensively. "Thank yo-"

"No, you have just one."

"W-What are you talking about?" she began to feel flustered for some reason.

"Kim Taehyung." He sent her a wink. "Whose currently rinsing and putting away trays with hyung. Get you a man who can do both."

She gasped from embarrassment, "You're literally the Devil's spawn!" She whisper-yelled and grabbed the spare cloth he had but she couldn't help but wonder how Taehyung could literally switch from cute to hot to cool then back to cute or hot especially today when he defended her. It was like a mind game to her.

He sent her a glare, "I think you need Jimin's reading glasses because I look nothing like the Dragon Lady."

"I guess you're right," she smirked. "Because you're an International Playboy that's secretly soft for IU."

He threw a bottle cap at her, "She's talented, don't judge me... Mrs. Jackson Wang who-wants-to-be-the-t-shirt-that-covers-his-collarbones."

She narrowed her eyes, "You're such an irritant I swear."

"Does Taetae know he has competition," he continued his teasing reign.

"I feel like drop kicking you in stomach right now."

He laughed, "Hate to break it to you The Next Karate Kid but I won't feel a thing."

She just face palmed and turned away with a huge sigh, "I should have known Mr. 240 push-ups-a-day. Gosh I actually feel sorry for Dansae now."

She winced at the thought of Jungkook punching Dansae in the face but then she felt another bottle cap hit the back of her head.

"Ow, Jungko-"

"Strike first, strike hard, no mercy." She watched him with a defeated expression as he boxed on the spot. "You can't go feeling sorry for the enemy now."

"Cobra Kai would be overjoyed to have you Jungkook."

After Taehyung and Jimin finished off in the kitchen they both checked up on their two friends before waiting at the exit of the cafeteria. As they stood, they both watched Sooyeong from afar.

"If things go well between you and Soo," Taehyung looked over at Jimin who seemed rather calm. "Promise me you'll take good care of her and protect her like you did today."

Taehyung smiled, "You're talking as if you know she likes me back or something."

Jimin raised his eyebrows and looked at him because he damn well knew that they would get together sooner than later.

"But I promise to take really good care of her and cherish her even if she doesn't like me back." He looked down at the bracelet on his wrist.

Jimin patted his shoulder just as their two friends popped up and Sooyeong made to take her backpack from Taehyung but he pulled back with a straight face. She looked at him appalled, "It's fine, I can carry it. Don't baby me like this." She pouted.

"Let him be Sooyeong." Jimin informed as they made their way out into the hallway and Sooyeong decided to give in.

"Yah, I'm beat." Jungkook stretched. "And tired, can we like skip the last two periods and go home."

Jimin hummed, "I'm with Jungkook, let's just go home. Or maybe hit the arcade?"

"Yeah, that's a better idea hyung. What about you two? Wanna tag along?" Jungkook turned around to find Sooyeong staring at the bruise on Taehyung's cheek with a smouldering intensity.

"Does it hurt?" she asked, completely oblivious to Jungkook's question.

"No, I had an icepack on it." He answered as firmly as he could while trying to hide the blush that formed due to her staring.

"Yah?" Jungkook poked in the middle of them, surprising them both. "Are you two coming to the arcade or what?"

"Ah no," she shyly said. "I'm gonna spend some time with Tannie."

Jungkook looked at Taehyung for answer.

"No," he said. "I'll hang back for a while."

"Alright, suit yourselves." Jimin hollered as both boys skipped down the staircase. "We'll see you tomorrow!"

"Yeah, and good luck with that Chem test!" Jungkook called and soon enough the two faded into the distance.

Sooyeong crouched to the floor and sat cross-legged in front of Yeontan who softly barked at their presence. Taehyung had done the same not long after and the two just watched Yeontan jump around in his little box. The silence wasn't awkward but it still felt heavy.

"Thank you for earlier," she looked at him with a closed eyed smile. "You really are My Strange Hero."

He looked down shyly and played with Yeontan's paw, "Is Soojeong trying to patch things up with Boksoo?"

"Ah, I thought we already patched up?" she panicked internally.

He gave her a boxy smile, "We did. And I've been meaning to ask you... alone of course..."

His voice suddenly took on a deeper tone and she shuddered because it was almost enticing. Nevertheless, she hummed for him to go on but her mind was a complete mess because she was hoping he'd ask her to the Spring Festival so she wouldn't have to break the norm and do it herself.

From her peripheral vision she watched his flawless hands detach from Yeontan's paws.

"Daddy would like to know..." she was surprised at his husky voice and choice of words but she was even more surprised when she felt his hands gently slide over her waist and tummy. "Did Dansae hurt the baby?"

She gasped and literally almost died from how flustered she became. She couldn't believe how he remembered her stupid baby joke from a few days ago. At this point she was ready to be sent to the stars or to the deep depths of Hell never to return. Anywhere would be better for her than to be here with Taehyung right now. Even rolling down the stairs sounded like a better option.

Her breath caught in her throat and she was stuck. Dirty talk and flirting was not her thing despite it being popular among the youths nowadays.

"U-Uh... my tummy is f-fine..." she barely mouthed but Taehyung on the other hand burst out laughing and this made her feel even more flustered.

"You're really cute when you're flustered." He ruffled her hair as he stared at her. "Let's hope that's the case tomorrow too..."

"T-Tomorrow?" her voice was soft and they made eye contact.

She wasn't ready for Daddy Mode Taehyung 4.0 at this point because she hadn't forgotten the time when he wanted to touch her ass. He was just too much to handle but Taehyung on the other hand instantly cussed in his head because he wasn't supposed to say that out loud. He became flustered at his sudden confession and pulled away from her to play with Yeontan.

"Let's play with Tannie," he petted Yeontan but internally he shivered in nervousness, worried she'd poke at the topic.

"Yah," she poked his thigh. "If you tease me again, Tannie will take care of things. Won't you little buddy?" She babied and scratched Yeontan's fur.

"If I'm gonna get bitten I'd rather it be by someone else..." he crossed his arms, not looking at her.

"You have thick skin, yah?" She huffed. "Let's save Yeontan's teeth and roll you down these stairs instead."

He laughed and picked up Yeontan to hide his blush, 'I really wish I could just come out say I love you Sooyeong but if I did how would you take it?'
