"Ay, Namjoon-ah! Everything's going to be fine! The chance that I'll burn down your dorm room in this two hours is smaller than that you will burn it in two minutes!"

"You know, that's not the reason I am nervous...."

"Ay, no teacher will see me!"

"That's also not the reason."

"I know, Namjoon-ah. Chill, he is also just a boy. Uhm, sorry: man."

Namjoon sighs. He really appreciated that his friend wants to cheer him up, but he can't help feeling dizzy with his mind full of thoughts about the private lessons he will give Seokjin in less than half of an hour.

"You should go, Namjoon-ah! Or you'll get late for your date with prince charming."

"Ay, Hyung!"

"Ah, and Namjoon! If Yoongi asks about me, don't tell him I am here. Please!"

"Sure, Hoseok-Hyung. But I think you should forgive him. It's not his fault to fall out of love. And he told you... That's better than cheating, isn't it?", Namjoon tries to sound motivating.

"It's not that I am angry on him. It's just... I still love him, Joonie. But look at his new one. That guy is an model. I just want to forget our love, so it hurts less..."

Namjoon nods, not knowing what to answer. He wouldn't know Hoseok without Yoongi, who is his best friend, but at the same time: Yoongi and Hoseok were together for longer than one year and in this time, Namjoon learned to love Hoseok's friendship nearly as much as Yoongi's. But he knew Yoongi since they are small kids... He feels unsure what to do.

"Don't think too much, Namjoon. I'll live here for a few days and then I won't disturb you anymore."

"You don't disturb me. You could never!"

Hoseok smiles. His smiles are always so warm. He will miss them...

"I am out then. Make yourself at home."

Hoseok waves goodbye as Namjoon leaves the small dormroom. His way to the library isn't long. He is there ten minutes too early. But he isn't the only one.

"Sunbaenim! You are already here?"

"I am... Let's go. I want to be home as soon as possible!"

Namjoon nods and follows Seokjin in a quiet corner. He always looked up to Seokjin since he saw him for the first time. Even in the library or the coffe shop he seems like a king. Just his presence makes you want to kneel down and... whatever.

"Let's start with literature!", Namjoon nods. They learned for about one and a half hour. Seokjin really missed a lot. But he plays it off like he is still better than Namjoon. It makes Namjoon feel small. The younger one knew Seokjin is arrogant. And he sees it now too. But he can't stop himself of thinking mostly positive about the other one. And now that only the two of them sit opposite each other he sees more things. As an example: Someone here is insecure. And Namjoon knows it's not him.
