School is a drag for the first three periods of the day until they get to fourth.

Hoseok and Taehyung have the same fourth period and they usually walk together but Taehyung is not where they usually meet so Hoseok just walks alone.

When Hoseok gets to class Taehyung stands off to the side talking to who Hoseok guesses is the substitute for the day.

Hoseok knows the substitute. And he knows that Taehyung knows the substitute very well.

Lee Donghae.

Hoseok still remembers how excited Taehyung was when he told him about how he got Donghae into bed.

Hoseok at first didn't believe him. Mr. Lee was a teacher and he had to have more sense than to mess around with a student.

Especially because Taehyung was only 15 at the time.

One time the creep had overstimulated Taehyung so much that Taehyung called Hoseok and cried for hours remembering the pain.

Hoseok glares at the old creep as he takes his seat.

Donghae writes something down on a sticky note and hands to Taehyung who smiles and takes it before walking over to sit next to Hoseok.

    "Hey Hobi." Taehyung says tucking the note in the back of his binder.

    "Why are you talking to that pervert?" Hoseok asks in all seriousness.

Taehyung chuckles and shrugs. "It's just for fun."

    "He's a grown man Tae. With a whole wife." Hoseok says.

    "Well I would hope it was a whole wife and not half of one." Taehyung says laughing a little at himself.

    "I'm serious. I understand messing with kids our age but not men with families. That basically makes you a home wrecker." Hoseok says.

    "It's not a regular thing Hobi." Taehyung says.

    "It doesn't matter. If his wife finds out I don't think she'll care how many times it's happened. Just that it happened." Hoseok says.

Taehyung shrugs and takes out the class work from yesterday.

    "The guys a creep. Sleeping with kids." Hoseok mumbles doing the same.

    "I'm not a kid anymore Hoseok. I'm almost 18. And you have no say in what I do with my life so just save your breath." Taehyung snaps in a low voice.

    "You weren't two and a half years ago." Hoseok says in and equally as harsh tone.

    "Fuck you Hoseok." Taehyung says turning away and pretending to be focused on his work.

    "Right. Fuck me. The one person who actually gives two shits about you in this world." Hoseok says but the second he says it he instantly regrets it.

Taehyung acts as if he didn't hear him but Hoseok knows he did.

    "I'm just trying to look out for you." Hoseok says.
 
    "Whatever Hoseok." Taehyung mumbles.

Hoseok sighs dropping his pencil and laying his head down on his crossed arms.

They both continue to give each the silent treatment at the same time when the bell rings.

Hoseok disappears in the crowd leaving Taehyung by himself in the hallway.

Taehyung sighs and takes the sticky note from his binder staring at the address. It wasn't his home address of course.

Taehyung crumbles the paper in his hand and drops it in the trash can in the hall.

    "Hey Tae." Jungkook suddenly appears beside him startling him a bit.

    "Jeez. You scared me half to death." Taehyung says.

    "Sorry." Jungkook laughs walking beside him. "I was going to ask if you wanted a ride home."

    "Thanks. But I can just take the bus." Taehyung says.

    "Really? I don't mind." Jungkook says.

Before Taehyung can speak again he is cut off by a female voice calling Jungkook.

Taehyung turns to see Lisa waving him over.

    "Thanks Jungkook. But I'll just take the bus. I'll see you later though." Taehyung smiles.

    "Alright. Call me if you need me." Jungkook says.

Taehyung feels that warm fluttering feeling when Jungkook says that. "Thanks."

Jungkook frowns as Taehyung walks away in the opposite direction of the buses.

    "Jungkook-ah." Lisa says walking closer to him.

    "What do you want Lisa?" Jungkook asks angry that she interrupted his conversation with Taehyung.

    "I was saving you from his trap." Lisa says dramatically.

    "He's not trying to sleep with me Lisa I already told you that. He's my friend." Jungkook says trying to walk away but Lisa only follows. 

    "You can't just be friends with Kim Taehyung." Lisa says.

    "Do you have something against him?" Jungkook asks.

    "No. I just like you a lot and I don't want you getting caught up. You can't tie a guy like that down Jungkook. So why waste your energy trying?" Lisa asks.

    "Thanks for caring but I don't need you to protect me from anything. Taehyung's a nice guy and I won't let his reputation define him." Jungkook says. "I have to go."

    "Wait. Jackson and Mark are having a small get together thing and they wanted me to invite you. It's small so no plusses. Sorry." Lisa says.

    "I'll think about it." Jungkook says.

    "Hope to see you there." Lisa smiles before turning and leaving, her ponytail swinging as she walks.

Jungkook sighs walking to his car when he gets there Hoseok paces back and forth in front of it.

    "Damnit. I thought you'd be with Taehyung." Hoseok says when he sees Jungkook.

    "I saw him but he said he wanted to take the bus. Why? What's up?" Jungkook asks unlocking the doors.

    "I just think I said something to make him upset and I wanted to apologise." Hoseok says.

    "Get in. I'll take you home." Jungkook says.

Hoseok climbs in the car with a sigh.

    "I'm sorry Taehyung. I didn't mean to offend you." Donghae says rushing to stand from the bed.

    "You didn't huh?" Taehyung says pulling his shoes back on.

    "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed." Donghae says laying a hand on Taehyung's shoulder.

    "Fuck you!" Taehyung yells pushing him away.

    "Taehyung." Donghae says in a cautious tone.

    "Did you pay me before!" Taehyung yells in his face.

    "No~"

    "Did you pay me before?!" Taehyung asks again shoving Donghae harshly.

    "No. And I'm sorry I~"

    "Who the fuck do you think I am!" Taehyung continues to yell. "Do you really think that lowly of me? Do you really think I'm here for your fucking money?"

Donghae just sighs and remains silent knowing nothing he says can make the situation better.

    "Go to hell Donghae." Taehyung says starting to leave.

Donghae quickly grabs Taehyung by the wrist.

Taehyung snatches his wrist away and his palm comes in contact with Donghae's cheek with a loud smack.

    "I'm not a fucking hooker!" Taehyung screams.

Donghae looks unfazed by the slap.

    "Here. Take it anyways~" Donghae tries to hand Taehyung his money.

    "Fuck you. I don't want your money. Take it home. To your wife you fucking faggot." Taehyung spits and storms out of the room.

Taehyung throws his backpack over his shoulder and quickly exits the hotel.

Taehyung wipes the tears from his eyes angrily as he steps off the elevator into the cool night.

He has never felt so embarrassed or degraded in his entire life.

Sure plenty of people had assumed that Taehyung sold his body for money but those were just rumors behind his back.

This was the first time someone had actually tried to give him money.

And it had to be someone he thought he could trust.

Not only because of the secret they both shared but because Donghae being older made Taehyung feel even more secure than normal.

Taehyung hated himself for being so vulnerable and naive.
