"good morning, mr.min" mr.jung smiled, yoongi smiled back and waved. after the argument from the previous day, yoongi had placed a polaroid of him and namjoon in his phone case and a picture of them on his lockscreen.

"good morning, how's your morning been?" yoongi asked as he ate, he wanted to eat with namjoon, but how could he when hoseok was sitting on his desk?

"it's been great, thanks for asking! do you want to grab coffee from the lounge with me?" he asked, "i actually already have some, sorry" he nervously chuckled.

"mr.min, could you help me in the copy room? i must've misplaced my key" namjoon smiled, mr.jung took off his lanyard and handed it to namjoon.

"you can borrow mine" he said, yoongi and namjoon internally face palmed themselves, "i need the key for the colored printing room" namjoon said as he looked at the keys, yoongi nodded and stood up.

"also, mr.jung, they're having donuts today in the lounge if you want to have one" namjoon said as he left with yoongi. yoongi was relieved to say the least.

—

"i have to feed holly. can you pick me up?" yoongi asked as he packed up to go home, namjoon nodded. he was eating some m&m's (they were for yoongi's students, but namjoon didn't care) on yoongi's desk.

"you're not supposed to be eating candy, joon" yoongi said, "you're not my orthodontist" namjoon stuck out his tongue, "i'm second in line after puttinf a nail clipper in your mouth"

"you tell me to not bite my nails, yet you put that bacteria filled thing in my mouth" namjoon shivered, "i offered the plier" yoongi mumbled, namjoon shrugged.

namjoon and yoongi turned to see mr.jung walking in, "mr.min, are you leaving soon?" he asked, "yeah, i have to feed my dog" yoongi said, namjoon kept eating his chocolate.

"oh, i was thinking we could grab a cup of coffee to work?" hoseok asked, yoongi shook his head, "can't, sorry" he simply responded, "i'm leaving now" yoongi smiled, "bye, mr.jung and dr.kim" he said, namjoon bowed towards both boy, "i'm leaving too" he smiled widely.

"your apartment is cozy, i love it" yoongi smiled as he flopped on the boy's couch, "thank you, seokjin helped me with the inner decor. i only did the things in my room" namjoon said, flopping next to yoongi.

"i tried to decorate my own apartment and jimin kept saying it looked bad, so i gave him money to do it instead of having him nag at me" yoongi scoffed, putting his head on namjoon's shoulder.

yoongi opened his computer to look at a pet adoption website, "are you thinking of getting another dog?" namjoon asked, "no, i just like looking at the website. they have a bunch of cute pets" yoongi said, "you're weird"

namjoon cooed at the different pets on website. a lot of them were cats who had been abandoned, "look at that cat! it was abused by its owner!" namjoon frowned, "i know, it makes me sad"

"you don't seem sad! i'm about to cry about a cat i don't know!" the tall boy frowned, "why don't you cry about the  state testing rubric?"

"you think i haven't cried about that yet?" namjoon sniffled, yoongi smiled and pinched namjoon's cheeks.

after watching a movie and eating dinner (along with a bajillion snacks before and after), it was time to go to bed to get their beauty sleep.

the boy's brushed their teeth in front of the mirror. yoongi was done in two minutes while namjoon was still brushing his molars, "you're slow" yoongi said as he flossed his teeth.

"this is the fastest i can go with my stupid braces" namjoon said, spitting out the toothpaste in his mouth, "how long does it take to floss? considering you have to go in between and stuff?" yoongi asked, "a long time"

yoongi laughed, "ah, you're so cute" he said, "cuter than my sugar? i don't think so"

—

the small boy groaned upon feeling the warm body next to him stand up and open the blinds, "what time is it?" yoongi mumbled, putting the blanket over his head, "it's 5:30am, sugar"

the boy whined, "why are you awake so early?" he asked, "because i have to get my braces tightened, are you coming or not?" namjoon asked, yoongi hummed, "i'll go" he mumbled, sitting up on the youngest's bed.

—

yoongi sat in the corner of the room where namjoon was getting his teeth checked. he was half asleep, he wasn't used to waking up at 5:30am.

"bite down" the man instructed, namjoon did as told, "are you wearing you rubber bands as instructed, mr.kim?" the man asked, "yes, he wears them routinely. also, he's dr.kim" yoongi mumbled, "i do" namjoon agreed, "that's good. also, dr.kim? what's your phd in?" the man curiosly asked, "child development and early education" namjoon said.

"ah, i see. that's awesome. how've your teeth been feeling? any concerns?" the man asked, namjoon shook his head, "love to see that. i'm going to give you thicker rubber bands because your jaw isn't where i want it to be by this stage of braces. i'm going to give you a powerchain and change your wire, sounds good?"

"what's a powerchain?" namjoon asked, "helps align your teeth quicker and close tiny gaps. they're usually used near the end of treatment when teeth are straight, but your teeth are already straight, so it's just for perfection. i think the rubber bands will take about 8 more months to fix your underbite" man said, namjoon nodded, not really caring.

"eight months?" yoongi mumbled, the orthodontist smiled, "yeah, teeth and jaws take their time to move as adults" the man said, "so mean" yoongi sleepily mumbled.

the man finished and sat the tall man up, "it might feel more tense than usual because of the thicker rubber bands and powerchains" the man said, "i'll see you in six weeks, dr.kim"

—

the car ride to work was silent. yoongi slammed the breaks hearing a small sniffle from namjoon, "are you crying, honey?" yoongi asked, "it hurts" the boy cried, feeling stupid about crying over some pieces of metal.

"we still have an hour before we have to clock in, let's go to mcdonald's and get you something cold, sound good?" yoongi asked, "i guess so" namjoon sniffled, yoongi held namjoon's hand in hopes to ease the pain.

—

"doctor guy said it's supposed to be tense. tense and hurting is not the same thing" yoongi said as they sat across eachother. to their surprise, the ice cream machine was working, so yoongi bought namjoon an oreo mcflurry, with the request of the oreos being extra crushed or else he would get a refund.

"you didn't have to buy me ice cream" namjoon said, he had taken off the rubber bands to ease his mouth a bit while he ate, "it's fine, you deserve it"

namjoon showed a tight smile, "i think i look really stupid with so many bands and brackets in my mouth" namjoon said, "they do not! in fact, the black powerchain has increased your hotness. i was blushing the whole car ride" yoongi smiled, namjoon blushed like crazy.

"you're crazy"

"then so be it"

—

yoongi opened the car door for namjoon once they got to their workplace, namjoon was still pouting.

they saw mr.jung walking towards the entrance too, "oh hi! how have your mornings been?" he smiled, yoongi smiled, "we've had a great morning"

"me too!" mr.jung smiled, it seemed like he never stopped smiling. the tall boy didn't say a word, he didn't want to move his mouth at all.

—

"don't you think dr.kim is a bit childish? i don't know, he just doesn't give off the right vibe, but you seem close to him. are you, mr.min?" the man said, "i'm close to him. i don't get what you're saying about vibes" yoongi mumbled, "he's a bit childish with his actions. plus, the clothing and braces. it's like he wants to be seem as a child"

"first of all, please get off my desk because i can't work. second of all, i don't appreciate you talking bad about a coworker behind their backs, it's unprofessional' yoongi said, his expression was no longer smiling.

"i don't see why you're so defensive. are you dating him?" he smiled, "my love life is none of your business, but i am" yoongi said as he stapled some papers, "you could be dating me, yoongi oppa" hoseok smiled, "what are you even saying?"

the small boy sighed, "just leave me alone" yoongi said, "c'mon, look at how pretty i am compared to him. you can't even kiss him properly and he's mean. he didn't say good morning to me this morning. it's like he has something against me" he pouted, yoongi stared at him, "are you serious right now?" the man asked.

"yes"

"get out of my room" yoongi said, pointing towards the exit, "seeing you mad is hot" the man said, namjoon walked in and there was an awkward silence, "it's somewhere in my backpack, joon" yoongi said, "so, tinsel teeth, how'd you get into snu? daddy's money?"

namjoon stared at him, "no, i grew up poor" he mumbled, he loved using that to make people uncomfortable at times, "therefore, the adult braces? not often you see adults with that many rubber bands in their mouths" he shrugged, yoongi stared at him, "what's your problem? you have no reason to talk bad about him!" yoongi said, namjoon sighed and left the room.

"got you a smoothie and mac and cheese" yoongi said, namjoon slowly chewed the food. yoongi smiled seeing the boy, "do you want me to chew it and spit it into your mouth like a mama bird?"

"very funny"

yoongi laughed, "i know!" he smiled, namjoon just stared at him as he ate his food, "does it hurt that bad?"

"these rubber bands are so thick that it's doesn't even stretch! it's an annoying and constant pressure!" the boy huffed, "fair enough"

"by the way, thank you for the food" namjoon smiled, "anytime" the older one reassured, he was eating a sandwich.

"namjoon-ah, you're really pretty"

"i think you're the prettiest"
