ever since the seokjin incident, taehyung became clingier than ever.

he would follow hoseok literally everywhere, (even in the bathroom, though hoseok drew the line when the taller insisted on entering his cubicle.)

nonetheless, hoseok didn't protest.

taehyung, as annoying as he was, actually turned out to be pretty useful, by helping the smaller boy with his math homework, letting him copy off his notes and even buying him food.

and even though he was an introvert, hoseok did need at least one friend.

nobody mentioned how taehyung had gotten possessive and dominant that monday and both boys were fine with it.

anyhow, hoseok did make taehyung promise that he wouldn't manhandle the older again and the latter had agreed.

surprisingly, hoseok hadn't bumped into kim seokjin again and he was more than thankful to that.

it's not like hoseok never got into trouble. actually, he usually had to face a lot of consequences because of his sharp tongue and reckless actions.

despite that, he continued being sassy anyway and ignored all the drama which came later.

what could he say, hoseok loved being an ignorant bitch.

however, the boy couldn't not give a damn when taehyung didn't show up to school for two days straight.

hoseok hadn't thought of it much when taehyung wasn't present to school after the weekend.

he could be skipping school or be sick for all hoseok knew.

even though worry had began to brew in hoseok when taehyung hadn't turned up the next day either; the boy just brushed it away, reassuring himself taehyung was surely gonna show his ass the next day.

but he didn't.

and that's when hoseok began to worry.

standing by his locker, hoseok frowned when he didn't get greeted by the familiar boxy smile and annoying chatter of his friend. (whom he thought more of an acquaintance.)

despite being the school's playboy, it was totally unlike taehyung to skip school.

him being ill was the most legitimate reason hoseok could think of for skipping school.

sighing deeply, he pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, opening the messaging app and scrolling through his contacts.

they weren't much; mostly of his mom texting him to come home early instead of sitting in the library or asking him to do some of her errands.

hoseok stopped at taehyung's contact, tapping it open and biting his lip.

they had exchanged numbers a few days ago. (after a lot of begging from taehyung of course.)

the smaller boy never replied to taehyung's texts, too caught up in his pride to do so.

they may be friends (or acquaintances in hoseok's opinion) but that didn't mean he was gonna waste his time replying to all the texts taehyung had sent him when he was probably on crack.

maybe he should text him now, asking if he was okay?

but first, he was gonna read all the previous messages he had ignored.

hoseok scrolled upwards to the first text taehyung had sent him and began to slowly read all of them.

kim taehyung:

hobiiiiiii!!
7:32 pm, tuesday.

yo, hobs, it's ya boi,
skinny penis.
7:33 pm, tuesday.

jk, jk. lmao, it's me,
taetae!! :)
7:33 pm, tuesday.

hobi? :(
7:34 pm, tuesday.

hoseok frowned. he swore he could basically see taehyung's pout and puppy dog eyes when he read the last text.

nonetheless, he continued, reading all the texts in taehyung's voice.

kim taehyung:

nuggets!
3:14 pm, wednesday.

hobi, are you there?
4:05 pm, wednesday.

9:30 pm, thursday.

hoseok tried his best not to giggle as he read taehyung's texts.

he didn't know why he hadn't ever bothered to read them, only opening them so he could leave taehyung on seen and make it obvious he wouldn't reply to his texts.

yet, that was what motivated the other boy more and more.

taehyung thought hoseok was playing hard to get.

anyways, as hoseok read all of taehyung's full of crack texts, he couldn't help but admit that he...

that he kinda missed him.

annoying as he was, taehyung's optimism was contagious and he couldn't help but feel better around the boy.

hoseok almost couldn't believe it when he had came to know taehyung was the school's playboy; he didn't act like one at all.

chuckling while going through taehyung's texts, hoseok shut his locker and began to walk down the corridor, heading to class lazily because who gave a shit about physics anyway?

his eyes were so glued to his phone that he didn't notice the six foot tall heap of masculinity in front of him.

which of course, caused him to bump into it.

snapping his head upwards, hoseok opened his mouth to apologize whoever was in front of him.

"hey dude i'm--"

but hoseok didn't need to continue.

that's why he was staring right into the eyes of someone he had been successfully trying to hide from for the past two weeks.

"ah, we meet again." kim seokjin smirked.
