Soft Curls

Taehyung stared at Jungkook who blinked at him few times then gasped loud, making his lips twitch upwards.

Taehyung didn't think he would get to see his bambi in the garden. It was huge and was in the middle of all the buildings. The only place were all the students rested or goofed around on their free hours.

The bambi and his friend's loud voice draw their attention and when Taehyung caught a glimpse of his bambi's soft curls, he was already walking towards them before he know it.

Jin didn't understand how the younger was able to recognize him just with his hair.

''Hello?'' Jimin said when both of the males were having a staring competition with each other.

''Please, don't even try he won't be listening anyway.'' Jin said walking to them and looking at Taehyung with a sigh. ''And we lost Taehyung again.''

''Hii, I am Kim Seokjin.'' Jin smiled cheerily at the purple haired boy who smiled back at him.

''I am Park Jimin.'' He introduced himself. He nudged Jungkook to introduce himself. Jungkook flinched when Jimin discreetly pinched his arm to snap him out his daze.

''O-oh... I am Jeon Jungkook. Nice to meet you.'' He said with a soft voice, bowing his head, his soft curls bouncing slightly with the small movement.

''This guy here is my friend, Kim Taehyung. He is kinda... sick lately? And he sometimes stares like... this. So just ignore him, please.'' Jin said, poking at Taehyung's rips, who was shamelessly staring at Jungkook while the boy shied away from his bold eyes. He sighed when the guy didn't even flinch. This smitten bitch!

Jimin smirked at this and wiggled his brows at Jungkook who looked at his lap with a blush. Jin stared at them confused.

''Does your friend always stare at people like this?'' Jimin asked with a polite smile.

''No, it only happens... sometimes.'' Jin pulled the younger male's hand. Taehyung blinked, snapping out of his day dreaming--to Jin's relief.

''Hello.'' Taehyung greeted, his deep voice tickled the younger's ears. His heart picking up the pace with a single word.

Jackson came to their side few minutes after. ''Hey, Jimin!'' Jackson greeted with a smile.

Jin and Taehyung stared at him.

"Hey, hyung." Jimin greeted back with a grin.

''He is hobi's friend.'' Jackson said with a nervous smile. From the glare Taehyung gave him, told him that he was going have a talk with him, later.

''Where is hobi?'' He asked Jimin while avoiding taehyung's murderous glares.

''He went to his class. We have free time so we were waiting for him to go for lunch together.''

Jungkook took few peeks at the older while they chatted with Jimin. And everytime, his eyes met with the older's intense ones. He would lower his lashes shyly, unable to hold the strong gaze.

Jimin's mind was searching for some ideas to get the two to talk with each other. He secretly messaged hobi to call him. And he smiled triumphantly when the older called him. He quickly picked up the call, hiding a smirk.

''What? Someone asked you out, hobi hyung?!'' Jimin gasped dramatically, saying words way too loudly. Hobi was confused on the other side.

''What are you talking about?'' The male asked lowly, a frown on his face. He was in his class when the younger asked him to call. He thought it was something important.

''Who is that bitch that asked out my sunshine?!'' Jackson screeched, already looking alarmed. He wanted to snatch the phone away and ask hobi about his whereabouts and go to him.

''Wait-- is that Jackson hyung? Jimin! I swear if he misunderstand-'' Hobi yelled drawing the students and his professor's attention. He quickly apologized but the professor was already showing him to the door.

''You are dead when I get my hands on you!'' Hobi said threateningly.

''Oh, you want my help? I am coming!'' Jimin quickly cut the phone when hobi started scolding him through the phone.

''Where is he right now?!'' Jackson quickly asked holding the younger's shoulders and shaking him vigorously. Jimin internally apologized to the older.

''Ah, I know his class. Hyung, can you come with me? I might need you for a favor.'' Jimin asked, but he already know the answer. He felt bad for scaring the older like this.

''Jungkook, wait here for me, okay? I will come back in few minutes. Taehyung? Can you please keep him some company while I am away?''

Taehyung right away nodded his head in agreement, a little too eagerly. Jin gave him an amused smile. Jimin's plan was seen right through by Jin but he didn't say anything.

Jungkook knew that Jimin was upto something the moment he started talking aloud. And his suspiciousness was confirmed when he left him alone. But he was nervous to be alone with the older. He calmed himself by saying they will be not alone, Taehyung hyung's friend will be with them.

Jimin was running his little mind to take Jin away too, but the older helped him out with that.

''Ah, I was supposed see Yoongi! I forget about it. I have to go now. See you guys later then.'' Jin said smoothly, waving at Jimin and Jungkook. Jackson looked like he wanted to say something about Yoongi but shut his mouth when Jin glared at him.

''B-bye.'' He waved at him, wondering why he was going to the sleeping Yoongi who wants to be left alone.

Then, Jackson and Jimin were rushing to hobi, Jackson almost dragging Jimin after him.

It was silence after.

Taehyung sat beside the younger, a decent distance between them.

Taehyung and Jungkook looked at each other, Jungkook was the first to look away blushing.

They didn't... Talk.

Much to the displeasure of the pink head who was hiding behind a tree watching over them instead of leaving as he said.

Taehyung just... gazed at the boy.

Finally seeing him from this close was doing things to his poor heart.

The way his long lashes caressed his pink dusted skin. Those soft looking lips caged between his bunny teeth. Taehyung was tempted to rescue them, caress them with his own.

But he don't think that would be appreciated.

''What major are you?'' The dark haired man's deep voice startled the younger boy. He looked at him.

Finally, I can see your eyes. Taehyung thought with a smile.

Doe eyes blinked at Taehyung rapidly. The ravenette found the younger nothing but adorable.

''M-music and Art major, senior!'' He winced at his own high pitched voice but the older looked unaffected.

''I am business major and I wouldn't mind if you just call me by my name.'' Taehyung said kindly, his voice a lot gentle than the first time, not wanting to scare the younger in any way.

Jungkook couldn't maintain the eye contact and looked down at his lap playing with his dainty fingers. He nodded his head but then thought it would be rude to not reply.

''O-ok...'' He said softly. A small smile tugging on his lips which he tried to hide away.

''Taehyung.'' The ravenette said his name hoping to hear the bambi say it. Jungkook look at him with confused eyes but seeing the older gaze at him hopefully had him blush.

''Tae- Taehyung h-hyung?'' Jungkook asked shyly. He added hyung, thinking it would be rude to call his elder by their name without any honorific.

Taehyung smiled and the younger felt his breath hitch as he stared at the older with star-strucked eyes.

The older was even more handsome from close. Jungkook couldn't help but take few more glances between to see the larger male's perfect side profile. The older looked hot with his long hair, which was pulled up in a ponytail.

Jin looked at the youngers straining to hear their conversation and he almost smacked his head on the tree in frustration when the only thing Taehyung managed to ask was the boy's major. He was tempted go there and smack the ravenette on his head.

They pair have been sitting there for atleast thirty minutes! And they have only managed to exchange few words. They were mostly staring at each other without blinking.

Jin sighed helplessly. He did his part, now it upto Taehyung to do more.

''Taehyung hyung. Mhm... I like that.'' The older whispered making Jungkook smile bashfully.

He tucked his hair behind his red ears, and his fingers brushed on his bunny hair clip. He gasped cutely amd pulled the clip off his long curls. The hair clipped away by the baby pink, bunny hair clip fell on the side of his face. Whimpering, when he accidentally tugged on his earring along with it.

''What happened?'' Taehyung asked, looking at the boy's face. He couldn't help but love the way those soft brown curls framed his dainty face.

The bambi's hair was parted from the side. A part flowing down his one side in soft curls while the other half tugged away with a cute clip. But now that it was freely flowing, Taehyung thought that it looked lovely on the boy.

Jungkook let his hair hide his face when the older's intense gaze made his tummy feel fluttery. ''Nh-nothing.'' He mumbled embarrassed. He wondered if the older thought he was silly for wearing it.

The younger boy liked pretty things. Some people finds it weird. He was worried that the older will think the same. The bambi was feeling self-conscious. He peered at his clothes to make sure if they were looking okay. He was wearing a purple sweater and ripped blue jeans.

They are okay. He thought, clenching the clip in his hand.

''Can I see that?'' Taehyung asked suddenly making Jungkook look at him with wide doe eyes. Hyung saw it. Jungkook chewed on his lower lip anxiously, but passed the clip to the older's open palm.

Their skin brushed against each other. Taehyung smiled, locking eyes with the nervous bambi who quickly pulled his hand back, hugging it close to his chest with a flustered face. Adorable.

Taehyung looked at the bunny hairclip. It was a cute little thing, just like his bambi. ''May I?'' Taehyung requested, leaning close to the younger's face and the boy froze in his spot hardly even breathing. He blinked at the older who was patiently waiting for his answer, smiling at him gently.

Jungkook breathed out shakily and nodded his head softly, enable to say anything due to their close proximity. His shy gaze lowered down to his lap.

Taehyung threaded his fingers through the soft brown curls, taking few strands of the soft silky curls and twisting them between his long fingers.

The younger's sweet scent assaulting his nostrils. He resisted the urge to pull the younger into lap and bury his face in that pale neck and inhale his baby scent in.

His palm grazed the younger's cheeks who bit his lips and struggled to not lean into the warm palm of the older. Taehyung stared fascinated, as the apple of his bambi's cheeks gained colour, spreading further to his delicate neck. His eyes caressed the red ears adorned with a silver chain earrings, a heart threaded one. He wanted to toy with them with his teeth and tease them.

Taehyung tore his gaze away to look at the boy who had his eyes closed breathing softly. Taehyung leaned closer, clipping the cute clip on the soft and silky curls. His fingers lingered there for a second longer, then he was pulling away.

''Pretty.'' Taehyung breathed out.

Jungkook's eyes fluttered open. Already missing the older's scent which reminded him of forest. The older male smelled like...

Pine and petrichor

Jungkook liked it. He was almost disappointed when the older leaned back to his spot. He wanted to keep smelling the comforting scent.

Jungkook smiled bashfully, touching his clip with the pad of his fingers softly.

''Yes, it's very pretty. I like it.'' Jungkook giggled adorably, his soft curls bouncing with the small movement.

And Taehyung felt his heart do a flip at melodious sound.

The boy had his heart captive in his small palms, and he doesn't have an idea about it.

''I was talking about you, but yes, the clip is pretty cute too.'' Taehyung didn't even try to hide his pleased smile when he saw the bambi flush. His plump cheeks glowing in a pretty pink hue. He leaned his cheek on his palm, which was resting on his knee as he gazed at shy boy lovingly.

''T-thank you.'' Jungkook clenched his sweater paws close to his chest. His heart threatening to jump out his chest.

''You don't think they are w-weird?'' Jungkook couldn't stop himself from asking.

Taehyung frowned. ''Why would I think that? They are cute and they suit you very much. Very pretty.'' Jungkook smiled at the older's words. The older was very kind to him.

''Did someone say otherwise?'' Taehyung's voice went deeper even without him realising it. He was using more gentle and soft voice with the younger while talking. Jungkook's heart tingled hearing the deep voice. They sent pleasant shivers down his spine. Jungkook liked hearing the older's deep voice against his ears.

''Nhh-no...'' Jungkook dismissed with a shake of his hands.

Jin was dying in the sidelines, hitting the poor tree viciously with a crazed smile on his lips. If people gave him suspicious looks, he didn't care. He was too busy fangirling.

He can't believe Taehyung knew how to flirt?!

My cub have grown into a fine man! Jin thought emotionally, wiping his nonexistent tears off his cheeks.

He was so freaking proud of his kid!

He took a lot of videos and pictures of the pair before leaving them alone.

Taehyung made some progress with his self. Jin trusted that younger won't just dumbly stare at the bambi's pretty face this time and do some talking too.

So, he left with a wide smile on his plump lips. Eager to spill the news to Yoongi and Jackson. And of course, to Mr and Mrs. Kim too. And his dadd- ahem! He meant Taehyung's hyung.

Sadly, Jungkook had to leave for his next class as he missed his lunch break while spending time with the older. Both of them not realising the time passing.

He can't believe Jimin just left him, alone. The older didn't even come back for him. He will deal with him later after seeing him.

Taehyung didn't even realise the time passing. And he didn't like the younger going on the class without eating anything. He gave him a sandwich, which was Yoongi's lunch but did Taehyung care?

Nope, not even a bit. The man have priorities, you see.

Jungkook tried to refuse but one stern look and eat it in a deep voice had the boy shrink with a whimper and take it obediently. He thanked the older before leaving. Taehyung stood there until the boy left from his sight.

He sat under the cherry blossom, running his hands through his dark hair with a stupid grin on his face.

Until his eyes fell on something shiny on the ground between the grass beside him. He picked the shiny thing.

The bambi's earring.

The younger might have dropped it during his struggle with his hair clip. Taehyung thought endearingly.

The delicate silver metal rested in his large palm. He smiled at it before securing it in his pocket.

Not having any plan to return it.
