"I'm sorry.. about him.." You sighed, looking down at your feet. Taehyung only smiled softly. He took your backpack and carried both of yours. He took your hand, intertwining it with his. Blushing softly you both walked to your house. "Thank you.." His deep mellow voice broke the silence, as you two approached your house. "For what..? I didn't really do anything.." You questioned, your eyebrows knitted together and furrowed. The hybrid's sleek ears drooped shyly and he was so soft spoken you had to strain to hear him. The height difference didn't help much either.

"I was used to being treated like an animal... but you treat me kindly... I just want to thank you YN." He voiced quietly, his ears still slightly drooped a bit. You blushed slightly, hugging him. "How sweet.." You grinned at him. He winced a bit, but hugged you back. "A-Ah I'm sorry I didn't mean to! I just g-got carried away!" You apologized frantically. "No you're alright YN. I'm just not used to that. Getting hugged I mean.." By this point the hybrid was rubbing the back of his neck out of bashfulness. "Well in that case, I'll give you more." You smiled up at him. Which in return he did the same.

Once you and Taehyung entered your house, you went upstairs in your room and set your backpacks down. Getting out your books, you set everything up and got out all your supplies. "Tae, do you want anything to drink?" You got up, heading for the door, looking back at him. "Ah sure! Thanks again YN. You're such a sweetie!" He gave you his signature box smile, his canines showing. You shyly nodded, at a loss for words, just staring at him for a moment. Realizing you've stared a second too long, you scramble to the kitchen, grabbing two glasses.

'He's so cute. He's so sweet too.'

Filling them up with water, you shook your head trying to shake the thought of Taehyung. No, you couldn't be thinking things like that. Entering your bedroom again, you set the two glasses on the small table in front of you. Scooting over next to Taehyung, you grabbed a pencil, Taehyung bit his lip, your thigh now touching his. Grabbing an English notebook, you flipped open to lesson 2. "Alright TaeTae.. now where does the comma go?" You asked, pointing to the unfinished sentence in the notebook. Taehyung whined, then put his hand on his chin, as if in deep thought. "Right after that word right there!" He said with overflowing confidence. You giggled. "Nope! But you're close TaeTae!"

"TaeTae?" Taehyung questioned, raising one brow. "Ah I'm sorry.. I never asked you if i cou-" You went on hastily, rambling on, but he interrupted you. "No no! It's cute!" He smiled softly. Before you both knew it, two hours had passed and it was now 5:00. "Ah I should probably get home." Taehyung explained, gathering his belongings. "We should uh.. get some coffee or something sometime." He awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck, eyeing you a bit. His yellow eyes made you feel so mesmerized. "Yeah definitely!" You smiled at him. After that he left, you closed the door behind you only to get a call from Jennie.

"YN, we need to hang out right now!!! I'm coming over!!" Jennie yelled into the phone. You flinched a bit. At least expecting a greeting. Her bold and persistent actions made smile to yourself. 'Just like Jungkook', you thought. Suddenly, you felt a bit guilty. You and Jungkook always walked home together.. and today you didn't. You'd have to make it up to him.

"Wait wha?!-" Before you could finish your sentence, there was a knock at your door. Aish, this girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jennie laid spread out on your bed, her nose currently stuck in the latest magazine. You were currently playing a game on your gaming console. Mortal Kombat to be exact. "It's so violent I don't know how you play that!" Jennie explained with a shiver. You just grinned and gave her a shrug. At least it meant you and Jungkook had fun game nights at each other's houses. "Sooo.. what's going on with you and Jungkook?" Jennie asked casually.

You went silent. The sound of her flipping through the thin flimsy pages of the magazine suddenly stopped. You suddenly couldn't hear the grunts from the game, and your fingers hitting the buttons on the controller anymore, you didn't even notice until your character died that is. "W-What do you mean..?" You stuttered, eyebrow twitching in irritation. "Cmonnn you can tell me YN. You two would make a cute couple! Go for it, what are you waiting for?" She tilted her head, tossing the magazine aside, it now laying wide open to a random page with bright cascaded colors. "Well... Jungkook and I.. well I don't know. We're best friends Jennie." You stayed matter of factly, standing up, wiping yourself off in the process.

"YN, you have to like him, or maybe he likes you.." She wiggled her eyebrows at you. Which instantly caused you to scoff and playfully roll your eyes at her.

"Hm and what does it have to do with you."

"Because you're my friend! I can't let you be under this dry spell forever!" She explained, her arms flailing around, her eyes wide. "I so do not have a dry spell. I'm just busy with other things. Like school and other... stuff." You had to pause and think for a moment before you could even retort back at her. Ok.. maybe she had a point. "Have you seen how many girls look like lost puppies because of Jungkook. He's hot. He could get anyone he wanted." Jennie sighed, inviting herself over to your closet, opening it.

"I guess you're right. Then I wonder why he spends time with someone like me.." You pondered, not bothering to question what the hell she was doing. "Duh. He likes you and I'm so gonna help you get that di-"

   "Ooo!! What about Taehyung?! He's a cutie! I see you talk to him a lot lately. He seems kinda shy, but that's nothing we can't fix!"

"Jennieeee.." You groaned, throwing one of your accent pillows on your bed at her. There was no doubt that your face was red from embarrassment. "I don't even see Jungkook like that, and I don't know how to feel. I just met Taehyung.." You sighed, staring up at your dull white painted ceiling. Jennie rummaged through your clothes, letting out an exasperated gasp. "Yah what?!" You shot straight up, snapping your head at her. "You need to borrow my clothes, YN." She gave you a serious look, putting a hand on your shoulder as she looked down at you. "Why." You pouted, cutely looking up at her. "You wear grandma clothes and we're going to Hoseok's party tomorrow night. Jungkook wont want to see you in grandma clothes YN!" She dramatically but violently shook your shoulders, causing you to shriek.

"Maybe Jungkook likes my grandma clothes." You glared, sticking your tongue out which caused her to let out yet another exasperated noise. Jennie laughed, shaking her head. "What am I gonna do with you?" "Nothing. You love me." You shot back. "I can't wait for this party tomorrow. You best bet Taehyung and Jungkook will be there too, YN." She grinned. "Just let me wear my 'grandma' clothes." You groaned. "No, I'm dressing you up. We're gonna have everyone droolinggg!" She went on, taking a huge scoop of chocolate ice cream and shoving it in her mouth. "Fine. But unlike you I'm actually very fond of this dry spell I supposedly have!" You pouted.

   Jennie gasped. "Do I really need to prove to you that you have a dry spell?"

   You pouted more, shaking your head in disapproval. Jennie quickly dialed Jungkook's number, giving you a smug look on that pretty little face of hers. As if to prove her point any further. Jungkook answered and Jennie put him on speaker, holding the phone between you two. "I'm with YN. At her house. Well we were talking you see.." Jennie sighed dramatically, looking over at you with glossy-like puppy dog eyes. "Yah Jennie don't!!" You huffed, reaching for the phone, in response, she held it up in the air. "Ooo go on!" Jungkook laughed. Ugh, why were your friends finding amusement in your misery?

   "YN doesn't think she has a dry spell." Jennie unexpectedly blurted out. Jungkook laughed. "Yeah she totally has a dry spell! How does she not see it?" He laughed harder. "Hey you're on speaker Jerk! I do not!" You retorted, snatching the phone from Jennie. "Do tooooo! I mean you're cute, so who cares. It means you're good." He cooed into the phone. Blushing heavily you stayed quiet. "Well maybe I don't want to be just cute, Kookie."

Jungkook's eyes widened, trying to find the hidden meaning laced under those words. Jennie hung up and he could hear the call being disconnected.
