「five」

"taehyung-ah! hey, taehyung!" hoseok taps the younger on the back.

taehyung opens his eyes. "wait, what's happening?"

"you fell asleep in class again." hoseok chuckles.

the teacher gives taehyung a look, then resumes the lesson.

"sorry..." taehyung whispers to hoseok.

"it's okay hyung, everybody falls asleep in class every once in a while." jungkook leans over and pats him on the back. taehyung just sighs.

"oh no, you better not be thinking about chanyeol again. you're so much better than him-" jungkook gets cut off.

"no, i promise it's not him, kook. i'm just tired."

it's true. taehyung hasn't been able to sleep well at all over the last couple of days. he doesn't know why, honestly. there isn't anything in particular that has been keeping him up, no persistent thought or feeling of anxiety. insomnia is just a bitch.

"so anyways! are you doing anything after school today, taehyung? jungkook and i were thinking of going to the movie theater." hoseok says.

taehyung thinks for a second, then says, "i don't think i can go today, hobi. i have band practice."

"again? you have it, like, every day now!" 

"i mean, i'm pretty busy. i don't make up the schedule, i'm sorry."

"it's okay taehyungie, we'll go another time. don't worry about it." jungkook flashes a smile and turns back around in his desk.

"thanks, kook." taehyung's eyes follow the younger boy, even though his back is already facing him.

jimin isn't here.

namjoon has been waiting for a while now, and still the woods show no signs of the short boy.

he checks the time again, like he has done every minute before. his watch reads 4:08 pm.

namjoon knows jimin isn't obligated to show up, as they haven't exactly agreed to any set time. maybe jimin is just doing something more important right now.

but namjoon's paranoid side has gotten to him, and so he worries.

what if jimin is in trouble? what if he needs help? what if he got abducted by aliens and needs to find a secret code so he can escape the spaceship and land safely back to earth-

"namjoon."

it's jimin. he's finally here.

"oh, there you are! i was beginning to think you had forgotten about me." namjoon teases.

"no, i didn't forget about you. how could i?" jimin breaks out into a shy smile.

"gosh, you're so sweet."

"i try my best." jimin laughs and shows off his eye smile.

they stare at each other in comfortable silence before namjoon remembers the question that has been on his mind.

"oh wait, i was actually wondering if i could get your number? i mean, we've gotten kind of close, so..." namjoon mutters awkwardly.

"yeah, that would be great! can i see your phone for a sec?" jimin asks.

namjoon hands over his phone and jimin types his number in, then saves his name as "jiminie💜💜". he hands the phone back to the owner.

"thanks, jimin."

"it's nothing." jimin pulls the sleeves of his sweater over his hands, making him look like he has little paws.

"so, i was thinking. we need a name for this spot, don't we?" namjoon gestures to the woods around him.

"you're right. we can't keep on calling it 'the spot in the woods' anymore, that's too long."

namjoon agrees, so they sit down and start brainstorming.

thirty minutes later, they have finally come up with a name for the clearing. it's The Minjoon Hangout Spot™, or TMHS for short. the "minjoon" is a combination of their names, jimin and namjoon.

"yay, now we have a name for this place!" jimin claps his sweater paws together and namjoon can't deny he looks really cute when he does that.

it's moments like these that namjoon cherishes. the little things, the random conversations and the shared laughter. the silences between them that aren't really silent because their eyes say what their mouths won't. the way jimin looks like moonlight and sunshine at the same time, or like a galaxy full of stars.

this is just the beginning.

hii, i didn't think i would be able to get this chapter up but i finally did! :)

i know you guys (including me) are hoes for texting stories, so the next chapter will be full of that. stay tuned!!

in case you didn't realize, the first part of this chapter was not real. it was a dream that namjoon had. obviously galaxies don't just go out like that, lol. it was supposed to be symbolic and all that hjhdhfd.

i love you guys, remember to take care of yourself and love yourself and idk just be happy. see you in the next chapter💜
