C7: He Seems Very Timid
Kim Bo-gum
Taehyung will trouble you for a while then.
Bo-gum said to Jung Hae-in. To which Hae-in replied.
Kim Bo-gum
Then let’s start today. You’ll have to work quite hard this week.
Working hard wasn’t a problem. If he did private tutoring every day, this meant that he could get a generous pay daily.
And Bo-gum had promised him that he would pay the tuition fees at the end of every day.
This would be able to solve the problems that he had with paying the medical expenses of his mother’s hospitalization.
If he were to be completely honest, Taehyung taking a break from school was timely assistance for Jung Hae-in.
Afterward, Jung Hae-in went with Taehyung to his study room.
Taehyung’s study room was more like a little girl. The Kim family only had one Omega child, so of course, they had raised him like a little princess. The study room was delicate and filled with the color pink.
Taehyung certainly did not like this pink theme. It didn’t fit his inner temperament at all.
However, Taehyung didn’t have time to modify the layout and style of his room. He had more important things to do.
As soon as Jung Hae-in entered Taehyung’s study room, he felt the vibe of a young immature omega.
It seemed like he was indeed the little princess of the Kim family. But according to the words he had heard from the forum, they had called Taehyung a devil.
Jung Hae-in did not have any interest in this little boy. It didn’t matter to him whether he was a devil or a princess, Taehyung was just a task that he needed to complete.
Hae-in took out the test paper Taehyung did for his last monthly exam.
Taehyung only just started at high school. The results of his first monthly exam were incredibly poor.
Out of Korean, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Politics, and History, he had failed six units and passed the remaining three with low grades.
His academic performance could be described as ‘tragic’.
Hae-in asked Taehyung to re-correct the wrong questions on the test paper.
Kim Taehyung
I’ll correct them myself first. If there are any mistakes, you can point them out for me.
Taehyung said as he tried to avoid as much contact with Jung Hae-in as possible.
Taehyung was still not used to communicating with people so he spoke slower than normal people.
When Jung Hae-in saw Taehyung insisting on doing it that way, he did not force Taehyung to do it some other way. He sat down on the sofa next to him and waited for Taehyung to finish the questions.
Taehyung took advantage of Jung Hae-in not paying attention to place the test paper underneath something. He took out his phone and started typing.
If Jung Hae-in were to walk over right now, he would see that all the words that Taehyung was typing were English.
After a while, Jung Hae-in came over to check how Taehyung was progressing with correcting the mistakes.
When Jung Hae-in came over, Taehyung hid his phone and acted seemingly focused on the problem.
Hae-in glanced over the question that Taehyung was answering.
He found out that although Taehyung had only corrected one question, he did it right.
There were no problems with his problem-solving procedure either.
The progress was a bit slow, so Hae-in decided to explain the questions whilst Taehyung corrected his answers.
As Hae-in approached, Taehyung carefully swiped his phone from under the test paper onto his thigh.
Hae-in didn’t see Taehyung’s phone. He only saw Taehyung cowering.
It seemed like he was very timid?
Hae-in didn’t think too much into it and began to explain a question to Taehyung.
Hae-in spoke incredibly well. He explained a complicated topic into simple words making it easy to understand. When he talked about key points, Hae-in took a pen and paper from Taehyung and wrote it down so it would be convenient for Taehyung to review later.
While he was holding the pen and paper, Hae-in accidentally touched Taehyung’s hands. Taehyung had immediately avoided him.
His reaction was akin to a frightened little kitten.
At that moment, Hae-in felt as though he had bullied a little omega.
However, Taehyung only reacted that way because he was afraid to have contact with strangers. Especially if the stranger was Jung Hae-in. That sort of reaction was instinctive to him.
