"By the way, since when did you broke your nose?"
"You noticed that just now?"
They're now having dinner and are having a lot of fun getting to know each other more, it's safe to say that the parents already approved and accepted Jungkook as part of their family.
As if Jin feeding the youngest like a baby isn't obvious enough.
"In my defense, I was going to be a worried father and demand answers-"
But then Joon cut his lover's sentence off, finishing the sentence for him.
"But you saw Jungkook and he's more important than such minor injury?"
"Babe, you complete me"
Taehyung scoffed at the heart eyes his appa was giving to his father, it's not like he was wishing him and Jungkook would be like that in the near future.
Speaking of the latter, the older felt his soft hand touch his shoulder. Taehyung turned to see Jungkook open his mouth to explain about the incident with his broken nose.
"Taetae hyung here wanted to play volleyball with the students and the ball hit his face"
Hearing the explanation made Joon raised a brow, he looked at Taehyung confusingly as if not believing what he just heard.
"Since when did you start playing volleyball?"
The son knows he's fucked, he wanted to send a telepathic message to his father to not say anything, sadly this the real world and not some fantasy book.
"Father, please-"
"You never played any type of sport before"
Jungkook was a bit surprised at this and looked at his hyung, who was busy avoiding his gaze, the younger thought he can play since he was the one who initiated the whole thing.
This led to a puzzled look on the younger's face since he doesn't know why his Taetae decided to play with them.
Taehyung could feel his appa's knowing gaze on the side of his face, but he chose to stay ignorant and looked down on his meal like it's the most interesting thing in the world.
"Hyungie, why on earth did you try to play with the kids when you don't know anything about volleyball?"
May the Gods please save Kim Taehyung from this treacherous situation that has laid upon his head that is full of dumbassery and whippedness on a certain doe-eyed beauty with white pearls in his mouth whenever a smile appears on his angelic face.
Sadly, the only being that is with him is a Devil and it's none other than his own Appa.
"Also, he doesn't like sports. I don't understand why he suddenly wants to join you"
"... I have a change of heart" the poor art professor tried to defend himself... weakly.
"That fast? I remembered just this morning you dread sports because you suck at it"
He really didn't show any mercy on his own son. Here Taehyung thought Cinderella's step mother is evil, Kim Seokjin is the worst.
"That was the old me, Appa!"
The poor son is starting to think about how on earth he got into a teaching business when he can't even defend or talk himself out of this situation.
"In the end, Taetae hyung should stay away from the court and be more careful with physical activities" Jungkook scolded his hyung and the appa of the house sighs fondly at him.
"Jungkook is such a sweet boy, if only I can adopt you"
"No way, then Koo will become my little brother!"
Taehyung immediately rejected the idea of having Jungkook as a step brother, he might commit something illegal and forbidden.
Unfortunately, his sudden rejection made the youngest pout, saddened that his hyung didn't want to become a family. The older saw this and started panicking, he could clearly see a pair of bunny ears flattened on his head.
"Taetae doesn't want to be brothers with Koo?"
Taehyung choked on air when he heard the little one address himself in third person. He almost went in a flashback on how the 10 yr old Jungkook did the same thing and he can feel his heart breaking out of his chest.
"N-No- I mean.. that's not- I want to be-"
Joon and Jin were enjoying the show on seeing their ever so calm and reserved son being a complete mess, all because of a pretty boy's pout.
"Koo wants to be a family with Taetae hyung..."
"W-We can be a family in different way!"
This made Jungkook perk up, he tilted his head slightly on what Taehyung meant by a different way. The latter knows what his Koo is thinking and he is not ready to kneel down and propose to him yet.
Well... confess is what he meant.
He nervously took a quick glance at his dads, asking for help, but they were too busy feeding each other and being such a gross lovey dovey couple.
"I-... I'll tell you.. soon, but not- not today"
"You can tell me in school! I think we have free period together somewhere between Tuesday and Fri-"
"It's in Thursday" Maybe Taehyung should've kept his mouth shut on how he obviously memorized both of their schedules by heart.
Good thing Jungkook didn't really notice or mind, but... his two fathers did.
Judging by the way they threw him teasing smirks and annoying thumbs up- can't they atleast be subtle with the gestures?! Jungkook is literally right in front of them!
"Then in Thursday you can tell me!"
Taehyung let out a relieved sigh that the youngest didn't really acknowledge his parents, but immediately froze after fully processing what he just said.
Does... does that mean he has to confess in Thursday?
Yeap, he's fucked.
••••••• ••••• •••••••
It's Monday and Taehyung's feeling every nerves in his body shaking.
Not because the meeting with his family was terrible, it went extremely well... too well that one of them literally cried that Jungkook has to leave and go home.
Doesn't really take a genius to know who it was.
It was the thing in his hand was. A book he borrowed from a fellow professor and the title is just mocking him, pressuring him about his upcoming confession to his crush.
The title is "Please, Fall for ME"
He already hates this book.
Although he doesn't want to admit it that he thoroughly read the whole damn thing and is genuinely thinking about actually doing what this book tells him to do.
"Why are you glaring holes to that poor book, Bestie?"
Hoseok was shock when the art professor looked up and has eyebags underneath his eyes. He started to wonder if this book has a tragic story and is ready to ask the title of it, but Taehyung suddenly spoke.
"I feel like puking and I'm ready to die in 2 days..."
Then turned around and left a puzzled Hoseok behind. The dance professor murmured to himself, worriedly.
"Was the book that good?"
He should ask Taehyung the title next time he sees him, he wants to read it too.
Taehyung is on his way to the office to look for a certain professor. He peeks through the door way to check if he's there and sees the familiar mop of hair.
The art professor approached Jimin's desk and went through his messenger bag to fish something out. He took out the book and gently placed it in front of the math teacher.
"Here, thanks for letting me borrow one of your books"
With furrowed brows, Jimin slowly lifted the item in absolute confusion, as if it shouldn't even exist here.
"But.. I.. I never gave you...?"
He couldn't form the words "When the fuck did I let you borrow my books, you annoying grumpy face cyborg?!"
Before he could professionally demand an answer from the art teacher, Taehyung already disappeared. Jimin may not like the guy, but he knows the ice prince teacher would never go as far as just taking things without consent.
Then he realized.
"MIN YOONGI!!!"
