namjoon stared as he watched mr.kang place a kiss on yoongi's cheek. as namjoon watched this, he realized he never had a chance with yoongi.

he wasn't as beautiful as mr.kang.

mr.kang was athletic, his body had to be one of the most prominent and most attractive features. he had strong legs and a small waist that would make anyone fall in love. mr.kang had beautiful hair, like the one of a shampoo ad.

not only was mr.kang athletic and beautiful, but he was talented.

he was great at everything he did. he was a natural all-rounder. namjoon wish he could name something mr.kang didn't shine at.

yoongi was the exact same. he had the body of everyone's dreams. his facial features could make anyone fall in love. his eyes turned into crescents when he smiled, he walked like a model everywhere he went, he ran his hands over his hair all the time which made him look even better, and not to mention, he was also good at everything he did, just like mr.kang.

compared to mr.kang, namjoon was a nobody.

he wasn't athletic. in fact, he was the complete opposite of athletic. he wasn't good at running, let alone shooting basketballs into hoops. he knew he couldn't participate in whatever intensive sports mr.kang was involved in.

namjoon wasn't handsome like mr.kang. he wasn't even half as handsome as mr.kang. the tall boy knew he would never be pretty enough for yoongi. yoongi was way out of his league.

but gosh darn it, he liked yoongi so much. he thought about yoongi all the time and was constantly reminded of him in his every day life. wanting yoongi to like him back was as unachievable as his attempt to run a mile in 10 minutes (in hopes to become as athletic as mr.kang).

why couldn't he be good enough? why couldn't he just be pretty enough? why couldn't he just be athletic—?

namjoon woke up in cold sweat to his loud alarm. he breathed out and turned off his alarm.

he knew it was a dream, but it felt too realistic. way too realistic. it was so vivid that now namjoon was standing in front of his full-body mirror to scan for his flaws.

he huffed as he looked at himself. it was a tiring task. eventually, he realized he had an orthodontist appointment and began getting ready because looking at himself was a tragic event.

—

namjoon showed up to work with a smoothie to help his aching teeth. he would talk to yoongi, but his dream felt so vivid that he was scared that it would actually happen.

he sighed as he typed on his computer. today's email was a parent concerned with the amount of plants he had in his class. respectively, 6 years of college education never prepared him for a conversation this stupid.

namjoon showed a tight smile seeing yoongi walk in with a big smile on his face, "g'morning, joon" he said, sitting across namjoon, "morning, yoongi. how's your morning?"

"it's great! i woke up to holly next to me! it was the cutest thing ever! let me show you a picture" he smiled, searching through his phone for the pictures he had taken that morning.

namjoon nodded, a small smile appearing on his face as he saw the pictures, "he's adorable" he said, yoongi nodded, putting his phone away. he studied namjoon's facial expression.

"are you okay, joonie?" he asked, namjoon forced a wide smile on his lips, "i'm fine, yoongi. if anyone, i should be asking you. have you seen your therapist or psychologist since you got out the hospital?" he asked, taking a sip from his smoothie.

"you know i don't like it when you lie to me and you know we fight when we lie. besides that, yeah, i talked to my therapist" he said, namjoon took a deep breath out.

"do you think mr.kang is better than me?" he whispered, looking towards the door to make sure it was shut so non one could hear their conversation.

yoongi frowned, "of course not. he's weird, i don't really get along with him. i'm scared of him, he creeps me out" he said, beginning to caress namjoon's hair as he saw tears pool up in his boyfriend's eyes. the tall boy sniffled, "i had a bad dream"

"is that so, honey? what was the dream about?" he asked, namjoon tried not to cry, "in my dream, we weren't together and you were dating him. he was so much better than me. he was pretty and athletic and everything i'm not!" he frowned, yoongi absolutely hated seeing his boyfriend so upset over a stupid dream.

"joon, you're beautiful. i tell you that multiple times every single day. plus, i don't even know if he's athletic, but i know you can ice skate and play hopscotch. what more could a man possibly need?" he asked, namjoon shrugged and sighed.

"just for clarification, you love me and we're dating?"

"yes, my love"

yoongi looked at mr.kang who was approaching his desk. today was not a good day for triggers, he would actually have a full blown panic attack.

"hey, baby" mr.kang said, getting closer and close to yoongi, yoongi's eyes widened, "n-no! don't!" he screamed, his hands shaking.

"c'mon, quiet down" the man softly said, "help! help!" yoongi screamed, scared of everything happening all over again. he couldn't go through that again.

next thing he knew, there were a bunch of teachers gathered in yoongi's classroom. none of them knowing how to approach the situation.

mr.kang awkwardly stood there with yoongi who was shaking, his eyes wide. namjoon's ethical side was the only thing stopping him from grabbing mr.kang by the shirt and slamming him on to the floor.

"so, what was going on? i want a clear description" namjoon said, yoongi's bottom lip wobbled, "h-he—"

"there was a spider on the wall. he's just a little scaredy cat" mr.kang chuckled, "what? but mr.min is the one everyone usually calls to kill bugs. my students basically know him for that" a teacher said, "c-can everyone l-leave?" yoongi quietly asked. per his request, everyone left. however, namjoon stayed there.

"are you deaf? he said leave" mr.kang said, yoongi shook his head, "j-joonie can stay" he said, "joonie? what kind of name is that?"

"i think it's none of your business. now, get out of here" namjoon said, the man put his hands up, "alright, boss" he scoffed.

yoongi sniffled, "he's horrible" he said, "what did he do, sugar?" namjoon asked, "nothing, just called me baby, but i was scared" he whimpered like a frightened puppy.

"i'm glad nothing happened. start locking your door whenever we don't have students in class" namjoon said, yoongi nodded, "okay, i love you"

"love you too"

"i don't think we should get 40 cookies, that's a lot of cookies" seokjin said as they walked through the aisled of snack at the store.

jimin glared at him, "but i need it" he said, "minnie, you can have one pack or the other. you pick" seokjin said as he looked at other snacks.

that was enough for jimin's hormones to strike. he cried into his bucket hat as seokjin pushed the cart further down the aisle.

—

jimin

seokjin won't buy me cookies

im actually crying

seokjin's mother

Thank you for letting me know, Jimin.

I will handle this accordingly.

—

"hello?" seokjin answeed the phone, pulling it away from his ear upon hearing his mother shout at him.

he heard what his mother was saying and looked at jimin who was indeed covering his face with his black bucket hat, "okay, mama. i'll text you later" he said and sighed.

seokjin took the bucket hat away from jimin's face and was met with the boy's puffy cheeks and eyes, "oh minnie" he breathed out.

"you won't buy me cookies" he sniffled, "because we don't need forty cookies! pick one flavor and let's move aisles, it's really not that serious"

jimin snatched the bucket hat from seokjin's hands and continued crying into it.

"minnie, people are going to think i'm abusing you" seokjin said, "because you are!" he sobbed, seokjin turned red as he felt the eyes of people on them, "it's literally just cookies"

"after you called me and your child a burden, i think i deserve more than two packs of cookies" he cried, "you said you forgave me" seokjin mumbled, "i said that i did for the most part!"

"plus, i didn't mean it like that" seokjin said, jimin just continued crying. sometimes seokjin couldn't tell if jimin was having a baby or becoming the baby.

"fine then, have all the cookies you want" seokjin said, jimin pulled the bucket hat away from his face, "i deserve it"

—

"no, i'll drive" seokjin said when jimin approached the driver's seat, the short boy shook his head, "i'll drive" he said, "nope, go to the passenger's seat" seokjin said and buckled up in the driver's seat.

jimin huffed, hopping into the passenger's seat with a pout, "why don't you let me drive? it's my car!" he sighed, "because my parents will kill me if something happens to you and the baby. better safe than sorry"

"yet you wouldn't get me two packs of cookies" he mumbled, "that's different" seokjin said, jimin sighed and just looked out the window.

seokjin was being pretty mean these days and jimin didn't like it.

"why have you been so mean since you found out i'm pregnant? is the baby really a burden to you?" he mumbled, picking at his nails.

"what—? no, jimin. i've told you this like 20 times in the past two days" seokjin said, "then why are you being mean?" jimin asked, not fully convinced that seokjin was telling the truth.

"i'm sorry about that, i'll make to work on it" he said, stopping at a red light, "that wasn't the question. the question is why are you being mean?"

seokjin bit the inside of his mouth as he thought about it. it was sort of his defense mechanism. namjoon knew it well after living with him while assisting a rigorous school.

"it's because i'm so scared and nervous" he admitted, feeling a lump in his throat, "why's that?" jimin asked, his voice was calming. it was like the beach on a sunny day.

"being a father. will i be good enough for our kid? i'm scared of messing anything up. i'm scared of hurting you and i'm scared something will happen to you or the baby" he frowned, jimin held seokjin's hand, "you're going to be the best papa our baby could ever ask for. it's okay to mess up, mistakes are normal" he said, "and i will do my best to keep the baby and i in top health" he said, patting his stomach.

"thank you, baby. it means a lot. i got so overwhelmed at work and my boss got mad at me so he sent me home early" he said, "what'd you do?"

"i started crying in the middle of a meeting. it was kind of humiliating and cringe. he stopped his whole presentation and said, 'kim seokjin, i don't have time for your cries and weeps, go home' so that was pretty embarrassing" seokjin said, biting his lip as he tried not to cry again.

"he can take it up with me. i'll scream at him like there's no tomorrow" jimin huffed, "i know you would, but i just went home. anyway, do you want to get something to eat really quick?"

jimin nodded, "mhm, preferably a cheeseburger"
