JOY

"Namjoon? Namjoon!"

"What, princess?" He finally looked over at me for just a second before turning back to his game. "What is it?"

"I have to perform this Saturday for my fine arts entry and my parents are going to be there." I put my hand on his cheek and turned his face to me. "I need you to be there, too."

"Got it." He nodded and moved my hand. "But right now I need to be in this game before I die."

I groaned and stood up. "I have to get going, anyway. When you show, please look presentable. Suit and tie, okay? I don't know how daddy will react when he sees your sleeve."

Namjoon faltered, then quit his game. "Joy, why do I need to cover it up? They're not just pieces of ink on my skin, they have meaning."

I pursed my lips. "I-I know, but you know how he is," I tried to give him a smile. "He's very conservative and professional and I just want him to have a good first impression of you." I nodded, reassuring myself that my words came out okay more than reassuring Namjoon.

"Shouldn't his first impression of me be that I'm not ashamed of who I am? I mean, these tattoos are apart of me — literally."

I sat back down and rubbed his arm. "I know, babe, but just this one time. Please?"

Namjoon sighed and turned back to the tv. "He'll still see the ones on my hand."

"Of course." I nodded, then smiled slightly. "It's his preview for what he's going to see in the future." I hesitated before kissing him on the cheek. "Love you."

I paused, somewhat stunned but nevertheless waited for him to say it back...but he was already talking to the screen in front of him.

A brunette man walked through the doors of the music store. He pulled down his scarf from his nose and sighed, enjoying the heated building.

"Hello dear, what can I do for you?" An older lady stood by the desk with a warm smile as he walked over to her.

"Good evening, I ordered a custom violin sometime yesterday. I'm here to pick it up." He replied with his hands in his coat as the lady nodded.

"Our luthier worked extremely hard to prepare this one. One of our finest materials were included, as you requested." Her back was turned as she went over to the shelves in the back and picked up a violin case that was a matte black. The man peaked over her shoulder, all too excited.

She turned around and returned with the case; gently placing it down on the counter. Before she could open it the man stopped her.

"Hmm?" She looked up at him and he chuckled shyly.

"I don't wanna see it yet. Surprises are my favorite things in life so I'd rather not ruin the surprise for myself." He explained with a slight blush causing her to chuckle.

"Makes sense. Well, here's your purchase. I'm curious to know if you're performing for the showcase on campus this week. You'd be great—"

He shook his head, "Oh hell no—I mean, I'm flattered but I don't play. I'm more of
a ukulele person instead." They laughed before wrapping the case in its final ribbon and a larger gift box.

"Thank you so much." He picked up the box with a wide smile and walked (almost skipping) out of the store.

He paused, "Uh sorry but do you know where I could get a bouquet of white roses?"

"Yeah there's a place down the—"

"Actually never mind.  I'll go exploring. Ciao!"

"Class dismissed."

Yoongi waved as he dismissed his last class for the day. He watched as Joy got up from her seat and waited for her boyfriend as usual; being the professor that he is he studied how different their body language looked.

Stay out of it Yoongi. He sighed and looked up, waving to Joy as she left the classroom with a warm smile. He sat down in his chair, huffing before pulling out his phone. Contacts upon contacts with group chats full of teachers he rarely liked and the constant emails from students (he usually never replies to).

"Oh now don't look so depressed. You already have enough students here to do that for you."

Yoongi looked up from the screen only to groan and roll his eyes. "Piss off. I'm not in the mood to give you a lecture."

"Well that depends. Is it a private lesson, Professor Min?"

"Taehyung why are you here?"

The brunette laughed before making his way over to the stressed man whose wrinkles were getting wrinkles.

"I came to check up on my little sister's professor." Tarhyung leaned over and tightened Yoongi's tie then patted his shoulders.

"You're weird."

"And you're not telling me what I need to hear."

"So you're telling me you only come for the gossip?"

Taehyung flicked his forehead, "No idiot. What's going on with my sister and her,"—He cringed with a shiver—"boyfriend."

Yoongi smirked, "Well one thing I could say is that your sister isn't so innocent as you think." Taehyung's eyes bulged, almost jumping out of their sockets as he stood up.

"You wouldn't believe what she did. It's almost scandalous—"

"That boy is dead."

"—how she could be ten minutes late to my class. I mean if you're late at least show up with coffee as an apology."

Yoongi laughed, enjoying the annoyed expression on the younger's face as we paced around the room.

"You're the weirdo man." Taehyung wined.

Yoongi rolled his eyes, "Your sister is fine. I haven't heard anything bad or dramatic about them. As much as I don't trust the kid she's with, he's treating her well. From what I can see."

"Well looks can be deceiving." Taehyung turned his back to the professor who was doing what he did best. Studying people in plain sight.

"Are you speaking from experience or logic?" He asked. Taehyung remained quiet. The answer clicked instantly but Yoongi knew better than to pry. After all this was his student's sibling here and someone he himself had taught during his years as a high school teacher.

"Anyways, she'll do great. Just be the same older, idiotic brother you are now." Yoongi gave Taehyung a pat on the back before looking down on his phone again.

"Wish I could do that but I have to mentally prepare myself for the storm that night."

Yoongi raised a brow, "What storm?"

"Our parents are coming."
