"I d-don't know h-h-how to kiss!" Jimin sobbed in a muffled voice.

Jimin cried into his hands, too afraid to take them away. Great, he thought, Yoongi is going to think I'm a cry baby.

He felt Yoongis hand on his shoulder, gently rubbing up and down as if that would help calm him down.

"What?" Yoongi asked. "What are you on about?"

Jimin didn't reply but shook his head instead and only cried more.

"Jimin..." Yoongi said, confused and concerned. "Sweetheart, why are you crying?"

Jimin pulled his head up from his head, momentarily stopping the tears but the sniffles kept going.
"W-what did you j-just call me?"

Yoongis mouth parted.

"I called you Jimin" he chuckled slightly "isn't that your name?"

"O-oh" Jimin stammered "Yeah..b-but–"
He shook his head and put it back in his hands. "Nevermind"

"What's wrong, Jimin?" Yoongi asked again.

Jimin ignored the older once again. His sleeves were becoming more damp by the second. Yoongi hated seeing the boy like this.

The older moved his hands so he was carefully running his fingers through the boy's hair. When Jimin didn't make a move to stop him, Yoongi carried on and played gently with Jimins hair in attempt to soothe him.
He smiled softly when he saw Jimin slowly relax his body and when his winces became quieter and quieter.

He wanted to ask again but decided there was no use if Jimin kept ignoring him. So he kept quiet and continued stroking the boy's hair until he felt calmer, calm enough to talk then.

Jimin sniffled as he wiped the tears from his eyes and gradually met eyes with Yoongi through his bangs. He was hoping the older wouldn't be able to see his puffy eyes and red blotchy cheeks.

Yoongi noticed Jimins eyes were beginning to close every now and then, where he would instantly re open them  only to do the same over and over again.

"You're tired" Yoongi said softly.

"I-I'm f-fine" the younger said after some hesitation.

"You're dropping off"

"Crying m-makes me sleepy" Jimin insisted.

Yoongi didn't go any further with that, even if he knew Jimin had looked tired even before he started to cry. Yoongi wished he could just take the boy home and put him to bed to rest.

After several more minutes went by, and Yoongi still twirling Jimins locks around his finger, both of them felt like they needed to say something.

But at the same time they were both happy enjoying the silence. Jimin felt calmer being petted and Yoongi was simply happy to be the one doing the petting. Yoongi smiled as he watched Jimin lean in to his hand.

Yoongi wished he could just know automatically what Jimin was thinking, so that he wouldn't have to say it out loud. But unfortunately, Yoongi wasn't a mind reader.

"Jimin" he spoke up after a while. "What did you mean... by 'I don't know how to kiss'?"

The younger swallowed and fiddled with his fingers. "I panicked"

"Panicked about what?" Yoongi chuckled nervously. "Did you... did you think... I was gonna kiss you?"

Jimin chewed on his lip, staring at anything but Yoongi. Jimin felt the awkwardness rise in the air, he hated it. He had just made everything awkward between him and Yoongi and now he was worried that the older would find him weird and leave.

When the younger didn't reply, Yoongi got worried that Jimin felt uncomfortable. Maybe Jimin hadn't have even thought that? Why would Yoongi think of such a thing?

"Jimin I would never kiss you" he said hurriedly.

Jimin deflated a bit. Oh. He should have known that.

"Not unless, uh, you wanted me to..."

Jimins face slowly turned red as he sat there blinking furiously. Don't make a fool of yourself. Don't say anything stupid.

Yoongi finally took his hand away and put in his lap. Had he made things weird?

"I'm sorry" Yoongi coughed to break the silence. "I didn't mean to, uh..."

"No it's o-ok"

Silence.

Jimin pulled his hands into his sleeves and fidgeted on the seat, wracking his brain trying to find out what he should do next. Thinkthinkthinkthink. He wondered if Yoongi was thinking anything at all as he also sat in silence staring at the floor.

Just as Jimin was contemplating walking out to avoid the awkwardness any longer, Yoongi sighed a little, attracting his attention.

"I was only going to tell you that I got a good score on my homework" Yoongi said. Jimin focused on his expression, it made him feel guilty. The older was smiling but only lightly, it seemed sort of... empty? A few tears welled up in his eyes again as he thought he had definitely made things weird, ruined everything. "Thanks to you helping me" he added.

The younger shook his head. "You did it o-on y-your own"

When Yoongi turned to face the boy again, he frowned when seeing Jimins glassy eyes fully with more tears. He raised his hand to the boys face and gently rested his palm on Jimins cheek as he caught a tear with his thumb and wiped it away.

Jimin had to bite hard into his lip to stop it from trembling. He patted his chest as though to say that's enough heart, calm down as it continued to beat rapidly.

"Don't cry, its ok" Yoongi said pinching the boys cheek slightly before removing his hand. "Whatever it is, I bet it's not worth the tears"

"O-ok" he choked. Jimin wiped his face with his sleeve paws and hit his chest again.

Shut up heart!

You can't be in love again already!

"You good now?" Yoongi chuckled. "No more tears?"

"N-no more tears"

Yoongi sticks out his pinkie in from of him. "Promise?"

Jimin shyly cracks a smile and links his own pinkie with Yoongi's. "I promise"

"Ahhh that's a good kid" He laughed as he ruffles the youngers hair fondly. Jimin tried to hide the blush.

Jimin was glad Yoongi knew how to change the mood and make him smile again. It made him feel a bit more at ease again, it took his mind of the embarrassing situation earlier.

The two stayed there until the bell rang and even then Yoongi didn't leave until the very last minute when he had to. And that was mostly because the student that usually sat in front of Jimin was giving Yoongi hard stares. Jimin was afraid she was going to pick the seat up and tip Yoongi off.

Even as Yoongi walked back down to his seat and as the teacher came in, he kept his eye on Jimin showing his adorable gummy smile. Jimin tried his best to keep a straight face but he couldn't help but grin like mad, face a soft pink colour. When Jimin would take his eye off the boy and then look back, Yoongi would still be sitting sideways in his seat giving him a thumbs up. It was only until the teacher began taking the register when he faced the front.

Jimin felt so much better.

He looked over to his left to see Taehyung and to his surprise, Taehyung was looking straight back at him, head resting on his hand with an eyebrow raised and a devilish smirk on his lips.

Oh no

Then Taehyung mimed something to him,

"Totally in love"
