     "Jimin, wait up!" A demanding voice commanded Jimin to a halt before he could escape into his car from school. He whirled around to find a winded Taehyung vigorously flagging him down at full speed.

     "Um... hi, Tae?" Jimin shouted in the form of a question so that the jock could hear him over the decreasing distance between the two.

     At last, Taehyung caught up to him, taking a moment to catch his breath. "Look!" Shoving a paper in Jimin's face, Taehyung intently waited for a reaction to spark from his tutor.

     Jimin inspected the handwriting plastered at the top reading: 98% A+.

     "No way! I knew you could do it!" Jimin squealed with pride as he pulled his crush in for a congratulatory hug.

     "And I owe it all to you!" Taehyung's cheeks burned bright red as he showered his tutor with gratitude for helping him earn such a high scoring grade on his exam.

     Jimin pulled back from the blushing boy, showing an eye smile that Taehyung had never seen before. This only made him blush even more.

     "Well, I'd better get going. I'll see you tomorrow." Jimin replaced his hand on his car door handle, waving goodbye.

     "Actually, wait!" Teahyung lurched forward, grabbing Jimin's shoulder to stop him again. He took in a deep breath. "I was thinking... maybe we could go get some coffee together... if you want."

     Jimin furrowed his brows in confusion. "But it's Monday; we don't have another study session until Wednesday."

     Taehyung eyed the ground shyly. "Not for studying, Jimin. I just wanted to, you know, hang out." The jock scratched the back of his head nervously as he waited for a response.

"O-oh," Jimin was taken aback. Did Kim Taehyung just ask me if I wanted to hang out!? Like... other than tutoring!? "I'd... I'd love to!" Jimin somehow remembered how to speak and accepted his crush's offer. What the fuck is happening!?

     Suddenly, Taehyung's face lit up. "Great! So-"

     "Wait, don't you have practice?" Jimin interrupted.

     "Nope, coach's wife is in labor. That's why I thought this was perfect timing to go chill at the cafe, but without the studying this time. Just you and me." Taehyung explained with an entrancing smile, releasing an entire zoo of butterflies inside Jimin's stomach.

     "S-sounds perfect! Do you need a ride?" Jimin felt as if he could combust right then and there with all of the emotions welling up inside of him.

     "Actually, Yeah. I was supposed to catch a ride with Junhyeon, but I'll just text him that I found another one." With that, Taehyung waltzed around Jimin's car and situated himself in the passenger seat while Jimin positioned himself in the driver seat, managing to subdue his nerves enough to safely drive to the coffee shop accompanied by his crush.

     The entire car ride to the cafe was filled with thoughtful silence, both boy's brains occupied with their own nerves. Jimin could tell he wasn't the only one being eaten alive by butterflies as he could sense Taehyung experiencing a mutual feeling.

Why is Tae nervous when I'm the one with a crush on him?

     Putting a pause to their congested minds, Jimin parked at the cafe, walking along Taehyung's side through the busy doors.

     "Two vanilla beans, please," Taehyung spouted when it was their turn to order. Meanwhile, Jimin went to claim a table for two before the crowd beat them to it.

     "What's up with this place being so busy on a Monday?" Taehyung pondered, joining Jimin at the table he selected while they waited on their drinks.

     "Not sure, but I haven't seen anyone from school so we shouldn't be getting any strange looks," Jimin added, earning flustered giggles from his crush.

     "Hey," Taehyung began, "playoffs are coming soon since we've only got one game left of the regular season. If we win, we're definitely making it!"

     Jimin loved the way Taehyung's eyes lit up when he talked about football. He genuinely had a passion for it and watching him rant on and on about the sport made Jimin's heart flutter. As little as he knew about the sport, getting to know Taehyung really allowed him to  learn a lot.

     "That's so good, Tae! And I'll definitely be there to support you at every game because I know how much that means to you." Jimin became aware, from past conversations, that Taehyung's parents weren't much of a support system for him, so he thought it would help if he stepped up and filled those shoes.

     The silver-haired boy couldn't help but smile. "Ahh, you make me so happy. The world needs more Park Jimins, immediately."

Does this man realize what he's doing to me? Jimin contained himself, pretending to check something on his phone. Tension was the only thing that became apparent in the air almost instantly. A special kind of tension.

"Two vanilla beans for Taehyung!" The shrill ringing of a female voice overpowered the tension causing it to vanish as Taehyung briefly left the table to retrieve their drinks from the barista.

Jimin kept his eyes glued to his crush as he padded away towards the counter. He noticed the way his broad shoulders implied such a masculine aura to him and the way his veiny hands sent shivers down Jimin's spine.

Since when did Tae's ass look so good?

At that thought, Jimin caught himself and silently giggled at himself for shamelessly checking the jock out. He couldn't help it. Taehyung was irresistible.

"One for me and one for the gentleman," Taehyung sang, returning to the table with their drinks.

"Why thank you." Jimin received the drink, promptly taking a sip.

For the next two hours, Jimin and Taehyung laughed and talked and got to know each other even more, resulting in them growing even closer than before. Each moment they spent with each other seemed to get even more enjoyable by the second. It was like they were on top of the world and nothing could bring them down. Except, maybe one thing.

What Jimin and Taehyung didn't know was that Junhyeon had entered the cafe while they mindlessly bantered and he witnessed a sight he thought he'd never see. His best friend, the jock, and the school nerd having coffee together after school. How suspicious.
