**Hoseok's POV**

"Baby I'm outside." Taehyung giggles on the other line, hanging up. In about 36 seconds, he opens his door, smiling and pulling me inside.

"I missed you." He crashes his lips against mine and I happily oblige. I grip his sides, sneaking down to grab his ass. He moans, hopping up to wrap his legs around my waist. I don't even need to see below me to know it takes three steps to his stairs and seventeen steps up until his bedroom. "My parents aren't home." He mutters in between the kisses. The bedroom door was wide open, making it even easier to throw him on the bed and watch him bounce. He pulls off his shirt, wiggling out of his pants while I do the same. "We have to hurry up before my parents get home." His voice was already breathless, laying down wide on the bed in front of me. Yes it bothered me a little that he hasn't told his parents yet but... he will right? "Hoseok?" I snap out of my thoughts and strut over to climb on top of him.

He smirks, wrapping his legs around my waist again, lifting up his hips closer to mine. "Mmm baby." Through his boxers I could feel everything, only growing my insatiable hunger for more, for him. "Let's take it slower today." I whisper in his ear, sucking in his earlobe.

"H-Hobi~" His grip on the back of my hair became more apparent, tugging me down, closer to his neck. "I said let's hurry, my parents will get home from work soon." Okay, so maybe it still bothers me...

"Taehyung..." I sigh, sitting back on my heels. "I-I want to say something, something I've wanted to tell you for a while." He slides his bottom half away from me, sitting down criss-crossed.

"What is it?" His hair falls when he tilts his head to the side, giving a reassuring smile as encouragement.

"Well, you know that my parents already kno-"

Ring Ring Ring

His phone goes off, it's light glaring and annoying. He leans over to grab his phone, biting his lip when he sees the caller ID. "It's Jungkook." He puts the buzzing phone back on the nightstand and looks up at me. "He probably just wants to cry again." Cry? Why would he be the one who cries?

"Oh." I didn't really feel like saying anything else on the topic, focusing more on how I will tell Tae what I need to say without it becoming an argument.

"You were saying?" The phone finally stopped, temporarily lighting up with the notification.

"Y-Yeah. Uh..." My stomach started to hurt a little from the uneasiness but I had to continue. But was this a conversation to be had while only wearing boxers? "You should talk to Jungkook, he needs you right now." I look away, not waiting for a response before I dress up again.

"Hey, don't get all moody, tell me what you wanted to say." He gets off the bed, standing up and walking towards me. "Jungkook can wait, I know what he's going to say anyways."

I nod, not really declining again but pausing to collect my thoughts. "Let's just focus on them right now, we are not the ones in conflict." Yet.

He smiles, walking back to sit on his bed. "You're right. We're doing great for ourselves so let's focus on our friends." He calls me over and I don't hesitate to follow. When I land on his bed, I pull him in close, wrapping my leg around his waist. "Let's come up with a plan to get them together."

"Together? I'm not so sure about that..." My eyebrows scrunch up to the middle, my mind just isn't at a place right now to allow Jungkook to date Jimin. "Jimin's hurting a lot because of him, are you sure they should date? I was thinking they should just apologize and be friends."

Taehyung shakes his head, disagreeing with me. "They like each other it's so obvious. They could never be friends." His finger traces a line along my jaw. "He's hurting too. A lot about how Jimin was a girl but... I think it was more than that... I think he's more hurt about what he said to him."

"Of course he should be upset because of that! He went too far with Jimin. Do you know how long Jimin cried before he went to sleep? And the whole time he was thinking that he deserved it... I can't even look at Jungkook now. I know I will punch him in the face if I do." Taehyung didn't speak, letting me pour out my frustration about his friend. "I-I'm sorry, that was too far. He's your fri-"

"It's fine. I slapped him when he told me."

"What?" He slapped him?

"It was his fault. He knew how hard it was for me, growing up where I did." He snuggled into me, avoiding my gaze.

"Now I'm really going to kill him." How dare he hurt Jimin and Tae? No fucking way.

"I'm fine, he didn't mean it... It's over ok? Don't hurt him, he's my best friend." His voice cracks a little at the end, his hurt shines through. Yes Jungkook is Tae's friend and yes he didn't mean it. But it still brought up memories from the past that he doesn't want to remember.

"Shh shh baby I'm here. Those guys don't matter anymore. They can't hurt you." Taehyung told me all about them the first night we opened up to each other. I started liking him before then but I think that's when he realized our relationship was more than sex. He started to trust me and that was when I knew I needed more, I couldn't go back to being his fling. "I'm here to protect you. Always." His sobs slow down, his hands reaching for my cheeks but he doesn't kiss me. He stares at me with glistening eyes, giving the widest smile possible.

"I love you Jung Hoseok." Everytime he said it made my heart beat faster, and that was never going to change. The fact that we made it this far on our own made my heart swell. We do still need to hide from the public because of our age difference and the fact that I'm a teacher at his school but I know we can make it through this. We have to.

"I love you Kim Taehyung." I plant a soft kiss on his lips, not taking it any further. It was a sweet kiss. One to show just how I felt about him, happy that for all the waiting I did for him to realize he loved me back, it was worth it.

He pulls back, his eyes slowly fluttering open. "We go on our trip in a week."

"Oh shit. I forgot."

"I-" Tae looks uneasy, glancing down at the space between us. "I told my parents that I was going on a road trip with my friend. So they can meet you... kinda." He knows how much I hate that his parents don't know. He's got to, right?

"I'm happy I'll meet them." I need to stay positive, even if it's just for those little smiles he shows me when I agree with him or if it's for the possibility of being presented to his parents as his boyfriend. I need to wait. I am the best at waiting. "I'll be on my best behavior."

"Great! We need to pack clothing, arrange what we are going to do, help Jimin and Jungkook make up, get my school work done early so I don't have as much to makeup-"

"Ugh, Jimin and Jungkook." I know he makes Jimin happy but he's also made Jimin the saddest I've ever seen him. The whole night he was crying he did not once bring up that he could never dance with Madam Jae again but that he might never see Jungkook. It broke his heart seeing how hurt the little brat was. "I guess we could help them." Even though I won't like it.

"Yay! Ok but we've only got a week."

"Ok ok, a week." What a wonderful week this will be.

Hello everyone! This is as far as I planned for the book, woops. I have a bunch of stories lined up after this one just waiting to be published but there is one thing I need to do first.

I did not finish a previous book of mine even though I was only planning on doing one or two more chapters of it. I got too excited for this book and then I completely forgot about it.

I just don't want to leave things unfinished so once I am done with this book, I'll finish the other one. Theeeennnnn

I'LL FOCUS ON MY 4TH BOOK.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? BOOK #4?

I honestly never pictured myself as a writter, I only got wattpad to read books. But then I tried something new and here we are. So life lesson,

TRY NEW THINGS

If it doesn't work out, fine. If it does, great! Amazing! Wouldn't you be glad to find an aspect of yourself in something new?

I hope so. You don't have to take my advice but at least think about it. I think we should all be brave at least once in our lives.

Love you guys! ❤❤❤
