"Is that Kim Taehyung?" Whispered a voice.

"Him? wait, is it?" Another added

"Damn, did he have some kind of glow up over the weekend or is it just me?" Someone commented.

Kim Taehyung had never felt this much attention on him since he had been the first person in his class to lose his tooth. All the stairs, all the whispers were making him regret his bangs, now he couldn't hide behind his long hair.

Furthermore, Taehyung didn't understand why he was getting so much attention all of a sudden. he was still the same guy, with his neat uniform and bored expression. He'd just cut his hair, and worn his glasses because he forgot his contacts at Jungkook's after their city date.

"Someone got popular over the weekend." The familiar deep voice of Namjoon said behind him just as he reached his locker.

Taehyung turned around, facing his friend from the art club.

"I don't even understand what's happening." He said, taking out his books for then advanced math class he was about to attend.

"Your new hairstyle looks good on you." Namjoon said, eyes darting to Taehyung's hair as the boy thanked him with a small nod.

"Are you dropping by the art club this afternoon?" The older asked as they walked towards the same hallway.

Taehyung nodded.

"Well, see you then." Namjoon said with a smile, waving the younger off.

Taehyung continued his small walk to his classroom, excited to enter, go to his seat and just sleep for the next two hours. Despite being in advanced math and sleeping in his class, Taehyung was one of the best students of his class, simply because math was just easy to him.

He pushed the door open, looking down at the floor and completely in his own little world, walking a few steps into the classroom, before realising it was dead silent and raising his gaze to see most of the students looking straight at him.

"Morning Taehyung." Said a voice from one of the seats in the front, to whom his eyes darted.

"Good morning, Jimin." He said with a short nod of his head.

With the small interaction between the two, most of the conversations were back to their ridiculously loud level, relieving Taehyung of the discomfort he felt when all eyes were on him.

"What an entrance." Jimin teased as he sat next to Taehyung, making him turn to the older.

"People have been staring at me all morning, i don't understand why." He sighed.

Jimin giggled, it reminding Taehyung of how cute Jungkook was when he giggled, before his eyes darted to Taehyung's hair.

"Well I mean, now that your hair is shorter, people can finally see your pretty ass face." He said. "Plus those glasses look hot."

Taehyung cleared his throat, not yet used to receiving compliments from anyone other than Jungkook.

"Thanks?" He mumbled, feeling incredibly awkward.

Jimin giggled again, noticing the other's discomfort and deciding it would be best to change the subject.

"Hey did you understand the whole derivative shit, because i've been lost for the past week and i need help." Jimin whispered as he took out his things before the teacher came in.

Taehyung chuckled but nodded.

"Can you help me out at lunch?" He asked.

"Sure." Taehyung answered in his smooth and deep voice, making a chill go down the girl sitting in front of him's spine.

Jimin nodded, shifting back to face the front, a small smile on his features.

***

"Hey Tae." A familiar voice said behind him as an arm wrapped around his shoulder.

Taehyung was just about to get a platter for his lunch when a certain someone interrupted him, making him turn around to greet the other.

"Hi Kookie." He said back lowly with a small smile, pushing Jungkook's hand away to get the platter and his chopsticks, Jungkook not minding the action because he knew his boyfriend wasn't fond of PDA, especially not at school.

"How was your morning?" Jungkook asked, following after him in line.

"Weird." Taehyung answered. "Everyone was staring at me in the morning, i felt like i had toothpaste on my face or something."

Jungkook giggled. "I think it's just because your new hairstyle suits you."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, though deep down, it made his heart flutter a little.

He chose a bowl of steaming hot noodles for his lunch, raising his platter to go take a seat in his usual table, at the back of the cafeteria, where he ate with Namjoon.

"Yah! Taehyung." A voice called out to him, making his head jerk to the side to meet the small wave of Jimin's small hand, inviting him to join their table.

Remembering he had agreed to help JImin, he changed his direction to head to them, sitting directly in front of Jimin.

"I saved you a seat." He said with a cute eye smile, Taehyung thanking him. He was sitting between Seokjin and Hoseok, who Jimin had asked to scoot over to make space for Taehyung, making Hoseok very offended. Jungkook came by soon after, sitting next to Jimin and across from Hoseok.

"See i don't understand this." he immediately said, not wasting a second to ask his new tutor.

It didn't surprise Taehyung, Jimin had always been a hard working student, despite not being really good in math to begin with.

"Well, you have to know your derivative formulas, once you know them you can just use them to find the derivative of that function." he said calmly, the slurping on some noodles, noting they weren't as good as the ones Sangmin made.

Jimin looked at him with big round eyes, question marks almost visible in them.

Taehyung noticed this and took Jimin's notebook and the pen he was holding, placing them in front of his lunch and scribbling in his usual messy handwriting under the amazed stares of the other four.

"See, this is a function in a function, because there is a power and a multiplication. So first you derive the first function multiplied to the second, then you add that to the second function derived, and multiply it to the first. You simplify the answer, see here you can cross out both the two's since it's a fraction, and you have your answer." While explaining, Taehyung wrote what he was explaining, pointing at certain points with the pen. In the midst of talking, he didn't realise the whole table falling silent to his explaining, Jimin's eyes completely wide with his eyebrows knitted.

"Taehyung."Jimin sighed. "I'm really sorry for being a dumbass but i didn't understand a word you just said."

The whole table laughed, Taehyung chuckling along. Jungkook was looking at him from across the table, recovering from the shock of how sexy Taehyung had looked with his glasses falling down his nose slightly from looking down at his own explanation. He felt a sense of pride, seeing his friends being impressed by his boyfriend.

"I'm honestly amazed." Hoseok said. "I was taught this last year and i can't even explain it to Jimin when you just talk like it's simple subtraction."

Seokjin nodded.

"It's fine, i like math." Taehyung said, earning judgmental looks from the others. "Anyway, Jimin. Remember we saw formulas for derivative functions right?" Jimin nodded. "Well one of them was the 'function in function' so f(g(x))." Jimin's eyes suddenly widened as they went back from Taehyung's notes to his own eyes.

"OH! wait i get it now! Damn Taehyung thank you so much."

Taehyung smiled, getting back to eating his noodles.

"Isn't it ironic that Taehyung, the math genius is dating Jungkook the imbécile." Seokjin said from next to Taehyung, looking across the table to Jungkook who shot him a glare.

"I'm offended." The youngest said, making the rest of the table burst out into laughter, Taehyung drinking his water with a small smile, before his eyes caught a certain someone looking around.

"Can Namjoon sit with us?" He asked, looking at his hyung frantically scanning the lunchroom for him.

"Of course!" Jimin piped, to which Taehyung nodded, waving at Namjoon, who finally spotted him and smiled an adorable dimpled smile.

"Hey Namjoon-hyung." Taehyung greeted, the older looking around at the table of unfamiliar faces, except two.

The black haired boy who he knew was the captain of the football team and who he had seen come in the art room to talk to Taehyung, and Seokjin, his crush.

"Hey, everyone, my name is Kim Namjoon." he smiled awkwardly, putting his platter across Seokjin's since it was the only seat left, under the knowing eyes of Taehyung and Jungkook.

The rest of the table introduced themselves before Jungkook sparked up a conversation about football, the rest of them joining in, even Taehyung and Namjoon saying a few things through the conversation.
