A/N: This is based off of real life events.
Throwing your pencil onto your desktop, you let out a groan of frustration and laid back into your chair. It was already late at night, and you still had yet to comprehend the magnitude of a vector and why it was important.
What are vectors? Why are they a thing? When were you ever actually going to use a vector in real life?
The questions regarding precalculus were endless. But all you wanted to do was simply pass the gosh darn test that you had tomorrow.
Take precalculus, they said. It's a good class, they said. Pfft, what a lie that all was. It was not a good class. And rather than kicking precalculus' butt by being really good at math, precalculus was kicking your butt.
Deciding that now would be a good moment to take a break, you picked up your phone and entered the Instagram app. Given the time, you didn't expect much to be on your feed. Just the same pictures that were posted six hours ago.
You were on the explore page, when you clicked on a random picture of a bunch of guys that were all posed together.
"Had a nice time out without the maknae," the caption read. In the picture, it was a selfie of eight boys sitting in front of a fountain trying too hard to look cool. The picture was all blurry, and it looked as if someone had taken it with their feet. Intrigued, you clicked on the comments where an argument appeared to have occurred. Oh yes, did you like drama. Even if you weren't apart of it, or even if you didn't know the people.
"Well sorry that I had to study for my exams," The top comment said from user, 'yang.i.n'.
"Sometimes it's okay to fail your tests. Be like me and just drop out of school," read the next reply from the account 'Fall.for.me.Felix'. You laughed at the comment, you felt so close to taking this Felix boy's advice that wasn't meant for you.
"No, it is not okay to fail your tests. Stay in school, and study hard, maknae," was from Instagram user 'know_minho'.
"I agree. Stay in school so that one day, when you're all grown up, you can be more successful than all of us," said 'Binnie.Bin.Changbinnie'.
"Thank you," replied Yang.I.N.
"You're welcome. Just remember me when you're all successful because I fully expect you to take me out to a fancy dinner when you become rich and famous," commented Binnie.Bin.Changbinnie
"-.-" said Yang.I.N.
"Seungmin, why does your phone quality suck so bad?" commented another user, 'Hey-hey-chanbang'
"You all wanted me to take the picture because none of you guys wanted to use your own phone. This is all on you. You all know how old my phone is," retaliated 'KimSeungmin'.
"You have enough money to buy a new phone, so why don't you?" asked Binnie.Bin.Changbinnie
"It's bc he's trying to buy a pair Jisung's stupid tea bag shoes," added 'Handsome.Hyunjin'
"My shoes DO NOT look like tea bags 😤😤" the account HaanJisuung commented.
"He's right. They don't look like tea bags. They look like trash bags," kim_w00jin said.
"LMAOOOO," was one of the last comments added by Fall.for.me.Felix.
"Ya'll are annoying me," Yang.I.N, said last.
The conversation between all the boys had ended with Yang.I.N's last comment. After having read all of it, you clicked on Yang.I.N's username to see his profile. His profile pic was a simple selfie of him showing a smirk towards the camera, and you weren't going to lie. He seemed pretty cute. Looking at his biography, you saw that his name was Yang Jeongin, and that he attended the School of Performing Arts. But what really got you was the last line of his profile which read, "How can I know so many digits of pi and not the 7 digits of your phone number?"
The cringe you felt after reading his profile seemed to be as ever lasting as pi itself. Nonetheless, you were very much curious about the boy; he seemed pretty cute. Without thinking, you quickly clicked on the button to request to follow him, and then you threw your phone back onto the bed. Returning to your math textbook, you continued to pore into the vector equations of U + V and so on.
After 30 minutes of not being able to comprehend a single equation, you grabbed your phone again only to see that you had a notification from Instagram.
Yang.I.N has accepted your follow request
Yang.I.N has requested to follow you
Quickly opening up your phone and entering the app, you accepted his follow request and began to look through his pictures, because hey, who doesn't do that when you follow someone new on Instagram? You began to discover things about him through his pictures, such as, he attended SOPA near you, he loved to sing, and apparently was a straight A student, according the picture of his report card that he had posted to brag about himself.
He's pretty smart, you thought. You were still scrounging account when an idea struck you. If he was smart... Then maybe he could help you.
Scrolling back up to the top of his account, you clicked on the three dots that were laid in the right hand corner of the screen. After pressing on the "Send Message" button, you proceeded to type out your message.
"Hey, I have a question." Was the first thing you sent to him. Almost seconds later, he replied back, which surprised you given how late it was.
"Do I know you?" Was his first response. Wow, that was the first thing he asked you? What a guy. He didn't seem to be as smooth as his bio gave away. Shaking you head, your fingers began to flit across the screen as the next message was typed out.
"No, you don't. But are you good at math?"
"Yes."
"Specifically, are you good at precalculus?"
"Yes, I have an A+ in the class."
"Okay good. You wanna help me with my math homework? 🤗" Of course, your question was very much random and out of the blue, but you were desperate at his point. He seemed smart, and you needed all the help that you could get.
"... Is that really all you want from me?" He asked.
"Yes, that's all I want from you."
"I don't even know your name."
"It's Y/N. Now, how does one find the magnitude of vector?"
"Well, first of all the equation is the square root of A1 squared plus A2 squared. You just have to input the numbers. And hello, Y/N. My name is Jeongin."
"Yes, I know that your name is Jeongin. Btw, you look like a cute baby chick in your school uniform."
"You know my name? What are you, a stalker?" Jeongin asked, clearly appearing off putted.
"No, I'm not a stalker. You put your name in your profile. Are you sure you're as smart as you seem 🤔?" You asked, throwing in an emoji for extra emphasis.
"Yes, I am smart. Do you want my help or not?"
"YES, I want your help," You replied back.
"Okay then, what's your next problem?"
And so, your tutoring session with your new acquaintance Yang Jeongin began. The entire conversation consisted of you asking Jeongin a question, him sending a picture of the solved equation, and you feeling stupid because he made it seem so easy. Your tutoring session ended when Jeongin accidentally fell asleep on you, and never replied back. But, he had answered all of your questions and you were now content with your knowledge about vectors. Turning off your phone and packing your backpack for school, you turned off your lights and headed to bed, feeling quite happy with how the night turned out.
The next morning, you woke up to a single Instagram notification from Jeongin. "We're going to be best friends now :))) "
Your new friendship with Jeongin began to grow. Eventually, the two of you began to move away from the topic of precalculus, and began to ask questions about one another. The two of you began to talk about music that you both liked, what your favorite colors were, if you were a fangirl/fanboy of any specific group. Still, you would occasionally slide back into Jeongin's dms to send a quick message asking how to solve a certain math equation. When Jeongin found out that you attended school near him, he immediately demanded to meet up with you on a Friday after school. He would very much like to see the girl that was struggling so much in math.
And when you walked into the cafe the next Friday after school, Jeongin almost dropped his drink and almost fell out of his chair. He did not anticipate you to be so pretty in real life, and was most definitely not prepared to meet you at all.
But when you approached Jeongin who was wearing his bright, yellow school uniform exclaiming, "Baby chick!" Jeongin couldn't help but groan. He most definitely wanted to look cooler than a baby chick for you. When you sat down, Jeongin tried to be smooth by attempting to pull a pick up line on you, he messed up the entire punch line. You laughed and responded with a pick up line of your own, which had Jeongin blushing and turning red.
"You know, you sounded really smooth and cool in your Instagram bio. But you're actually the cutest thing in the entire world, like a baby chick" You said giggling at the way that Jeongin blushed.
"But I'm not a baby chick though," He said shyly, scratching the back of his head.
When Jeongin went home that day, he quickly changed his Instagram profile. And when you looked on Instagram later on, you couldn't help but laugh out loud. Jeongin had changed his profile to, "Please stop calling me a baby chick."
A/N: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO END THIS. I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO END THIS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I WROTE THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU.
Honestly, this was better at the beginning. And then the end got rough. BUT oh well what can ya do. I hope you kind of enjoyed reading this.
