Tae fixes his stuff around in order to make sure his area is clean. Tae looks around in the crowd of people. There's some pretty attractive people here. Tae though that Mr. Lee wasn't to bad himself.

Out of no where a blonde hair figure appears. "Kim Taehyung?" Tae looks at the man.
"Mr. Park?" The blonde boy smiles.
"It's nice to see you!!" The blonde boy then takes a seat next to Tae.
"Are you here for this class too?" Says the blonde as he puts on his apron and fixes his sleeves.
"Yes, eating eggs gets a bit boring after a while." The blonde boy giggles.
"I just don't really know how to cook, but my friend told me Mr. Lee was the best." The blonde boy says as he fixes his hair and smiles.

Suddenly, Mr. Lee takes the 'stage.' Lee gives instructions and pretty much lets people do their thing, he comes over and checks or helps anyone who needs assistance. After 25 minutes of mixing all the ingredients together they put food on the table. Mr. Lee never compared anyone's food. They were all unique. He did although point out if something could use more flavor, or more salt, or cooking, basics.

Tae's station was a bit messy, but he cleaned up once he was done with the dish. He started to clean his table when he heard a tiny whence of pain coming from his right.
Mr.Park had burned his palm while trying to clean up. "I forgot it was hot." In the heat of the moment, Tae went to quickly address Park's burn. It wasn't to serious, but Tae quickly pulled things out from his bag. Park noticed how prepared Tae was. He pulled out some ointment and put a patch on it, then grabbed some cloth and wrapped it around his hand. "I see you came ready for something like this." Park said smiling. He liked Tae's hands. They were warm, with veins, and felt smooth. Park was practically holding his hand.

"You can never be too prepared." Tae said while putting everything away. As they moved on to cleaning, Tae wouldn't allow Park to clean up his section.
"I'll do it for you Mr.Park, it's fine, really."
"No, no let me do it. I've already caused enough trouble, I don't want to be a burden."
Tae insisted and went on. Tae cleaned both their stations, and he took off his apron. Park was trying to, but his bandage couldn't allow him to do it.

Tae walked up to Park with no hesitation, got really close to Park, and undid it for him. Tae had to get really close to Park in order to see the knot. Tae was so close, basically to the point where he was on top of him. As Tae was undoing the knot, he smelled something. 'Honey? Strawberry? No, both?' He realized it was from Park.
Mr.Park smelled really nice.
Tae finally came to his senses and undid the knot quickly.
"Uh, sorry it took long, it was hard to get off." Mr.Park on the other hand didn't want Tae to move. Park smelled something as well, but to him it was different. He smelled a nice fragrance. Tae smelled like those expensive mall perfumes that you put on yourself, but never buy. "It's, uh, no worries." Park said laughing nervously. They both walked to Mr.Lee, thanked him for everything, bowed, then left.

*now we are seeing Yoongi's POV*

Yoongi was on his way to the store. He picked up some snacks. He wanted to talk to Tae later on, in hopes to cheer up his mood. He grabbed Tae's favorite snacks, and a few that he liked, then paid.

He was walking ok his way home when he noticed 'Family Video' a place where you rent movies. "He would love to see a movie!" Yoongi quickly walked inside. There was so many to choose from. Tae liked all kinds of movie, except gore. Yoongi looked in the action, thriller, comedy, horror, all of those, until he reached romance.

Yoongi knew Tae was a softy for romantic movies. At school everyone sees him as a bad ass. But his real friends knows he's a sweetheart.
Actually Tae enjoys being himself.
I think that's what really makes him happy. Yoongi looks up to the younger.
He finds him inspiring.
Yoongi picked out "Me Before You."
He paid and was now on his way home. Then he noticed someone who caught his eye. "Taehyung?" Yoongi mumbled under his breath so only he could hear.

*now we are back to Tae and Park.*

"Well today was nice." Park said as he smiled. "Well, your hand says otherwise." Tae said smiling. "It doesn't hurt, really! It was just a little burn. I'll be fine tomorrow." Tae grabbed Parks hand, and put the ointment into his palm. "Put this on your burn later tonight, put on a clean bandage, and wrap it up again." Jimin smiled at the cute remark Tae did. "Ok mom." Jimin said as he laughed. "Goodnight Mr. Park." Tae bower, turned, and walked away.

"Jimin."
Tae tuned around to face him, a bit confused on what he just heard.
"You can call me Jimin. Is it alright if I continue to call you Taehyung?"
Tae smiled. "Sure Jimin, I'd like that."
Jimin's eyes sparkled. "Really! Ok then. I'll see you later Taetae." Jimin said as he shot out finger hearts at Tae, turned around, and walked home.

Tae felt butterflies in his stomach. His face looked so genuinely happy. Tae took in a deep breath, and breathed out, slowly. He smiled, truly, for the first time in a long time. 'He called me Taetae.' Tae though as he walked home.

He replayed that moment a million times. He looked content. And Yoongi noticed it too. Yoongi sighed heavily, put on a smile, and walked up to Tae. "Hey! Taehyung! Wait for me!"

Wow 🥴
This story made no sense to me. If you guys can understand anything. You deserve an award, because that was difficult.
Anyways. That's the tea, and it pretty much gets more confusing.
