Part 02 ❀

The school day was over, but it is now time for after school classes where students of all years get together and do activities, and Choi Beomgyu is in the music class.

He's been playing the guitar ever since he was a child, so he couldn't skip the opportunity to attend this class.

He waved bye to his cousin, and made his way to the classroom. The hallways were empty and quiet, walls tinted with the yellow rays of the sunset.

He opened the door and perceived a few students sat at their assigned seats. The class consists of 3 second years and 5 third years.

And of course the teacher made him sit beside Taehyun of all people. The latter was already there, gazing out of the window. Beomgyu lightly groaned before slumping on the seat beside him without saying a word.

The teacher soon came in, a really young brunette named Jeon Jungkook. These are spacial classes, so his young age doesn't matter. It's like a little part time job or hobby.

He's actually Taehyun's half brother, and the main reason why the latter is even attending this class, for moral support, since he just started. The new teacher can be quite forgetful, he forgot his papers so he quickly left the class to get them.

Beomgyu turned his neck to his neighbor and whispered "He's too good to be your brother"

"Could you shut up?!" He hissed. "Well he's too good for your brother"

Taehyun's half brother and Beomgyu's brother used to date in the past, much to the youngers misery.

Shivers ran down the older's spine "Ew please don't bring that up, thank god they broke up."

For the first time, Taehyun agreed with what the other said. "Imagine if they got married... that'll have made us..."

"...Yea.. we'll be related to each other in some way.." Beomgyu fake puked.

"Mhm.. I want nothing to do with you." Taehyun cringed and turned away to look out of the window again. He soon realised that it was raining, he gulped because he didn't have a hood nor an umbrella today.

"Oh no... I should've checked today's weather..."

The older turned to stare at the other and a grin appeared on his face "Oho do you perhaps possess the absent-minded ebys?"

"Something your cheek will certainly posses is my fist."

The teacher came back "Ok class! So uh today we're going to.." his eyes drifted to the blonde who gave him a smile and a thumbs up.

Feeling a tad more confident, he continued "To write lyrics! During this new school year, we'll be working on a big project that we will perform in front of the school at the end of the year. We'll start with the lyrics, then learn how to produce music then play instruments, singing and more."

The students were gaping at him, loving the idea and the fact that it's like they will be training to become a band or something.

Taehyun silently clapped.

Mr Jeon took hold of the papers that he left on the desk "I'll be giving all of you one, you'll try to write lyrics that go with the genre that's written on them. This month will be all about learning how to write a a good song and I'll pick 5 of the best lyrics for the show."

He started distributing a sheet to each student, they were each assigned a different genre.

"What in the... 'romantic song?'" Beomgyu frowned not liking this at all.

His seat mate chuckled hearing what he muttered out loud "Well good luck with that"

"Thanks for the luck" he said sarcastically "But you, what'd you get?"

"A sad song, it conveys my feelings of being sat beside you pretty well" Taehyun made an 'okay' gesture.

Music class was over, they didn't start writing today, since more than half are inexperienced. It was just an hour of explications.

People started leaving the class and Taehyun darted to his half brother "it's pouring outside, do you somehow have 2 umbrellas or we can share yours"

The forgetful teacher slapped his forehead "Shoot! I forgot to bring mine. Besides, we're not going towards the same direction Tae. And be careful, your ebys certainly doesn't cope well with water"

The younger deeply sighed and left the classroom.

He slowly walked to the exit, opened the glass door and stared at the heavy rain.

'I guess I'll just have to wait for it to calm down'

Taehyun then sensed someone advancing towards his direction, it was Beomgyu.

The ravenette took the umbrella that was in his bag and opened it. He then leered at the younger and smirked "Good luck~"

He lifted the umbrella over his head and stepped out of the building leaving the blonde behind. Taehyun wished he could use his ebys on the male right here right now. But that won't be a good idea " Yo Choi! I hope you fall in a pit that leads to a sewer and drown!"

"I hope you get struck by lightning. Now bye" Beomgyu waved not looking back.

It was winter so it was already dark at this hour. After only 4 minutes, Taehyun got impatient and decided to leave as well. He needs to catch his train. So he walked the long path towards the station.

'Walking alone in the dark while it's raining without an umbrella? This sure is inspiring for my song' He then let out a little sneeze.

Beomgyu lives around the corner so he was already almost there. And for some reason, he felt this urge to check behind him. So he did. And glowered at the sight of Taehyun from a distance.

"Is he crazy?" He muttered out loud "Does this fool want to catch a cold?"

He then faced in front of him again.

Beomgyu clenched his fist and hastily turned around, "I need to—" but his eyes widened at the sight of the blonde suddenly under someone's umbrella.

"Wow fellow Kang, on a scale from one to ten, how dumb are you?" After asking that amazing question. The other male searched in his sports bag, pulled out his sweatshirt and put it on the other's head "It's clean don't worry, keep it on your head or you'll get sick. You can give it to me tomorrow."

Taehyun was blinded by the sudden hoodie covering his face, so he made a small opening that showed one of his doe eyes and looked up at the taller like a puppy "If it isn't the super speed ebyser, Kang Minhee."

"The one and only. But why are you acting like we weren't both attending music class a few minutes ago?"

Taehyun shrugged his shoulders "Well thanks for sharing your umbrella, you're in class 2-B right? I'll make sure to wash it and give it back to you" he smiled genuinely.

Minhee smiled back "Heh anytime"

But Taehyun couldn't help but let out another sneeze, and the taller just had to say something, with quite a confused tone "Huh? Why do you sneeze so cutely?"

The blonde looked up at him blankly "Am I supposed to answer that?"

"Question is, how are you supposed to answer that?"

"Why did you ask me an unanswerable question?!!"

"But it's weird how do you sneeze cutely Kang?! Also that dab was unnecessary."

Beomgyu stared at the two boys who were walking to a different direction far behind him with no visible expressions on his face. When they weren't in sight anymore he silently sweared and kicked a pebble, for no apparent reason.

"Taehyung hyung?" Beomgyu suddenly spoke up after finishing eating with his brother "How would you write a love song? I have to do that for school"

The older hummed "I would think of Jungkookie" he wiped a fake tear.

"Move on!" Beomgyu snapped "Just give me a tip.."

Taehyung sipped his coke then said while contemplating the glass "I did. I'm no expert, but think of someone you really like and ideas should probably come easily"

The younger stared at the ceiling,

'Someone I really like?'

"By that, do you mean someone I have feelings for?' Beomgyu asked that with a disgusted look on his face, he's not the biggest fan of romantic stuff. And since his luck adores him, he got a love song to write.

"Exactly! And I think I know that someone, since you used to tell me everything. Well you don't anymore...Aw I miss little Beomgyu" Taehyung pouted "I'll give you hints"

Beomgyu's face became a bit more serious, how does his brother know and he doesn't?

"So you two have similar heights, but you're taller."

'Someone whose height is similar to mine?'

"They're younger than you"

'Similar height and younger than me, well I know a lot of people like that'

"You were always in the same school, well except elementary"

'Someone who was always in the same school as me...'

"Big eyes.. A sweetheart who hides behind a cold facade. You've always thought they were prettiest."

'Someone I've always... huh?'

"And you've always liked them more than a friend. They were occupying your mind so much that you had trouble concentrating at school"

'. . .'

After a short silence,Beomgyu spoke up "Hyung. I have no idea who you're talking about and I don't feel that way about anyone too..."

The older lightly shaked his head and gave him an evil smile "You suuuuure? By the way, it's a guy"

Beomgyu gazed at him with confused eyes open-mouthed "Huh..? Hyung... I'm not gay, I don't like boys like that" a bit discomfited, he drank a bit of his water.

The older sighed then leaned forward to boop his younger brother's nose, "Well looks like Taehyun-ah is an exception~"

Appalled, Beomgyu promptly spit the water that was in his mouth which made him cough. He kept on coughing while tapping his chest.

Taehyung casually handed him a napkin "Need some water?"

"I just spritzed out water and you want to give me more?!!"

"Well just make sure to clean up your mess." Taehyung grinned.

Beomgyu blinked thrice then scoffed "This is the best joke yet. So I like Taehyun now?"

"Only 'like'? Now that's an understatement. No one's going to judge you and I promise not to tell Taehyun-ah. You have my word baby bro!"

"What are you on about?!" Beomgyu asked sounding angered.

His brother pat his head

"You've been crushing on him for years now, even tho Taehyun neve—"

"HYUNG!"

As the heat raised to his head, the younger got up and thumped the table with his fists

"I'm sorry for yelling but I told you that I want to forget all that. It was just some stupid childhood crush. I don't like him anymore, I hate him for a matter of fact, that I wish he never f*cking existed"

"Gyu.... Come on.,"

"I mean I guess he's not like too bad looking but everything else about him freaking sucks, I grew to learn how heartless of a human being he is. I do not like him, I can't believe you would even think that I do Taehyung hyung.."

"But you- I-" The older looked genuinely confused. "That wasn't just a 'thought' of mine, wasn't that a fact—"

"I was asking for a love song not a hate song" he said lowering his voice, he was quite unamused by his older brother's abrupt utterance.

"It's really such a shame" Taehyung said stretching his arms upright "It was so cute how close you two used to be"

Beomgyu glowered at his brother who made an innocent smile "Ah I remember how a long time ago when I invited Jungkook over, Taehyun-ah would tag along just to play video games with you upstairs"

The younger brother rolled his eyes "Well that was before, things changed okay?" He then left the table "I'm leaving since you won't give me any real advice"
