another two weeks passed and it was a saturday afternoon.

jeongguk was lazing around in his room with nothing to do.

suddenly, his phone began to ring from the desk across the room so he quickly got up and scurried over.

he saw the contact and immediately picked up eagerly.

"hi taehyungie!"

"hello dollface, how are you?" taehyung asked, putting his phone on speaker as he played video games.

"i'm good~ why did you call?" jeongguk questioned.

"well, i wanted to ask if we could go out." taehyung said.

"of course! when?" jeongguk agreed, already excited.

"hmmm... tomorrow? good?" taehyung suggested.

"amazing. where d'you wanna go?"

"suprise." taehyung simply said with a smile.

"perfect." jeongguk giggled, "see you tomorrow?"

"uh huh."

"bubye then."

"goodbye doll."

jeongguk hung up and immediately squealed in happiness, jumping around his room.

then, suddenly, he realised that he agreed to taehyung's request while blinded by the thought of being alone in the outside world with him without actually thinking to ask his parents.

now he was just hoping and praying they'd say yes.

~ten minutes later~

"no."

"please mum!"

"no."

"oh come on, honey. let him go out. he barely asks us for anything so just give him this, yeah?" jeongguk's father interviened.

jeongguk smiled at his dad and then looked at his mother with hopeful eyes.

she sighed, "who are you meeting?"

"taehyung."

she reluctantly spoke, "alright. but you better be careful and be home before your curfew. he better get you home safe or-"

"yeah yeah, i'll be fine! taehyung will take care of me, chill out." jeongguk rolled his eyes and skipped back up to his room.

once he got there he immediately took his phone back out and called jimin.

"heyyyy, ggukie." jimin greeted.

"hi! guess what?"

"what is it babe?"

"i'm going out with taehyung tomorrow." jeongguk giggled.

"alone?" jimin questioned, sitting up.

"yeah-"

"so like a date?"

"i-uh... i dunno. i don't think so. we're just hanging out." jeongguk said.

"how did he ask?"

"he said 'i wanted to ask if we could go out'. see, nothing suspicious."

"hmmm, i guess." jimin said skeptically.

"what's your problem with taehyung?" jeongguk sighed, sensing the tension that his two friends had.

"nothing. i just don't trust him fully yet. he only got here like two months ago and he's already asking you out on dates and getting you to tutor him after school." jimin huffed.

"it's not a date! and i don't blame him for asking me. if you were fresh from another country then wouldn't you want your closest friend so far to help you fit in?" jeongguk reasoned.

"i guess... have fun then. just... be careful. don't talk to anyone you don't know. and tell me if he acts like a dick. make sure he takes good care of-"

"i'm okay jimin, i'm 16." jeongguk rolled his eyes.

"yeah, alright. i love you."

"love you too, bubye!"

"see ya."

and so they hung up and went about their day.

~the next day~

jeongguk woke up with a smile the next morning and immediately jumped into the shower.

taehyung had DMed him and told him to be ready at 1pm and right now it was 11am.

it was forty-five minutes later when jeongguk got out of the shower.

he looked at himself in the mirror and immediately looked away before walking back into his room to get dressed.

he slipped on his outfit and looked at himself questionably in the mirror once again.

"i should wear something oversized so i don't look fat..." he mumbled, taking off his shirt and looking for another one.

once he went through all his clothes, he finally found an outfit that made him feel slightly good about himself.

he smiled slightly before fixing his hair and applying his makeup.

meanwhile with taehyung,

taehyung was making a final check over his outfit.

he smiled into the mirror.

a

s he walked downstairs, kissed his mother's cheek and left the house, all he could think about was how adorable his doll was going to look today.

~twenty minutes later~

taehyung was stood at the end of jeongguk's street as he saw the boy walking towards him.

"hey tae." jeongguk smiled.

taehyung smiled back fondly. he swore that he could put this tiny little baby in his pocket.

"hello doll. let's go?" taehyung suggested, holding his arm out which jeongguk gladly held.

"of course."

with that, they began to stroll.

"where are we going?" jeongguk soon asked.

"i said suprise." taehyung answered.

"but i wanna know~" jeongguk whined.

"nuh uh." taehyung shook his head, booped the other boy's nose and then took his arm from his grasp.

"follow me." he said before running into a forest-y area with the smaller boy trailing behind.

"taehyungie!" jeongguk called, no longer being able to see the other boy.

he began to panic slightly.

abandonment issues didn't come in handy when the person you were following is suddenly out of sight in the dark-ish woods.

"taehyung!"

he was about to call again but suddenly he felt someone grab him from behind and spin him around.

he screeched but instantly calmed down when he saw taehyung's face below him.

he wrapped his arms around the taller boy tightly.

"oh- oh my god, taehyungie, you s-scared me! i thought-"

"calm down, doll. we're here." taehyung said, turning jeongguk's body around.

when jeongguk looked where taehyung had directed him, he saw a pretty feild in the clearing.

"woah..." jeongguk said.

"i know."

"it's so pretty... how did you know about this?" jeongguk asked, still looking out onto the flowers with sparkling eyes.

"i found it when i was looking around. mother told me 'explore' the area." taehyung said.

"ah, i see. it's beautiful." jeongguk commented.

"tu l'es aussi." taehyung said to him.

[trans: so are you]

"huh?" jeongguk turned to him.

"your french lessons don't work." taehyung deadpanned.

"oh shush." jeongguk giggled.

the two boys sat in the grass and talked for hours.

to them, it felt like no time at all.

"so then i told him that i wanted banana milk not strawberry but then it was too late because the bus was leaving already so i had to suffer with pink milk instead of yellow!" jeongguk complained, outraged.

"i'll buy you all the yellow milks." taehyung said, kissing his cheek.

jeongguk blushed deeply and simply nodded shyly.

"but now... come, let's get boba. i'll pay it." taehyung said, getting up and brushing himself off before helping the younger boy up too.

"yay!"

~time skip~

so there they were: walking down the street with green tea boba in hand.

jeongguk yawned and looked up to the sky. he saw that the sun had pretty much set so he brought out his phone and saw that it was past nine o'clock.

"oh no! my mum is gonna kill me!"

"what? why?"

"it's past my curfew!"

"cur-curfew?" taehyung asked.

"the time i had to be home!"

"oh... whatever." taehyung shrugged.

"what d'you mean? i'm so gonna get grounded." jeongguk pouted.

"shush, i'll walk you to home." taehyung said, pulling a sulky jeongguk by the hand.

once they finally reached the front door, they faced eachother with a smile.

"i had a lot of fun today." jeongguk said.

"me too, doll." taehyung said, kissing his cheek once more.

jeongguk blushed just like before and unlocked his front door.

"bubye..." the small boy said, waving slightly.

"bye." the older boy said before waving and begining to walk home.

"so is that taehyung?" his father asked.

"yeah." jeongguk sighed dreamily, still looking at him from the window as he walked away.

his father hummed and gave him a pat on the back before leaving to the kitchen.

before he got away, jeongguk tapped him.

"umm, dad... it's 9:30... convince mum not to ground me?" jeongguk begged, fluttering his eyelashes for effect.

"don't worry. i think she forgot. my lips are sealed." his father chuckled.

jeongguk smiled at his dad before rushing upstairs to his room.

"was he okay? did that boy bring him back in one piece?" his mother asked as her husband entered the kitchen.

"yes dear. he seemed more than fine." he assured, recalling his son's infatuated expression.

she sighed in relief, "good. do you think they're dating?"

"i don't think so. it's not been that long. besides, he would tell us if they were." he said.

"okay. okay, good. he's too young for a boyfriend." she said.

"he's 16 honey." he reasoned.

"and that's too young. our baby is too innocent for all of that. i hope that taehyung kid backs off soon." she said.

he sighed, "whatever you say honey."

meanwhile with taehyung,

he was laying in the living room, watching tv, when his phone rang.

he looked at the contact and raised an eyebrow.

jimin? he's never called me before...

he answered the phone and greeted the other boy.

"hello jimin."

"hey taehyung. can i have a favour?" jimin asked.

"what is it?"

"back off of jeongguk." jimin said shortly.

"huh?" taehyung asked, confused.

"stop trying to lure jeongguk into your little trap. just because he's innocent enough to fall for your sweet talk doesn't mean i can't see past it." jimin sneered.

"i don't really understand..." taehyung stated.

"don't play dumb. i know you're not 100% fluent in english but you know what i'm trying to say. back off of jeongguk."

and then jimin hung up.

taehyung frowned.

yeah right. he thought.
