Listen (Taekook)

                                    

                                          
Taehyung got up from his seat as soon as the bell rang. He hide his face in the shadow of is cap and walked along the hallways. He didn't like being noticed so he always tried to leave the building as fast as possible.
He didn't dare to look up once he exited.
When he arrived at his busstop he took of the cap and sighed out loud. Another day in this ugly building with these ugly teenagers. 
                          
Taehyung knew exactly what he wanted to do when he was done with school. 
He wanted to travel.
His dad shoved the money up his ass even if he didn't want him to. Of course for collage. 
Little did he know his son had already different plans. 
Whenever the topic came up to which collage he would apply he simply shrugged it off with a »To those that want me.« And he could easily say that since he was an ace in school. Taehyung could probably apply to any collage he wanted but he didn't want to.
                          
He looked on his phone to check the time. The bus was late again. He sat down on the bench near by and waited. He smiled to himself when he saw the words scratched in the wood of the really old bench. Kookie and Taetae forever. With a heart beside it which didn't look like a heart at all. He loved to think of the times when he had a friend. His only friend he ever had. But then...
                          
The bus came and Tae got up from the bench. He greeted the driver and sat down. He was rich and could've had a personal driver of course, but he told his dad that at least for school he should let him go on his own. Because as soon as he enters the gates of his house he will never have a minute for himself. 
He plugged his headphones in his ears and looked out of the window, watching the trees pass by. He didn't play any music on his phone. He just kept them in.
At his stop he left the bus without saying goodbye. 
Today was one of these days he couldn't go home right away. He made his way to the park he used to play as a child.
He didn't sit down he just crossed the park while memories played in his mind. He watched some other kids playing on the playground that was settled in the park.
When one little girl caught his eyes.
She didn't play with them. It seemed like she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Tae didn't think twice when he walked up to her. He smiled and got on his knees. »Why are you here and not playing with the others?« He asked the girl. Her eyes got teary and she opened her mouth to say something but only weird sounds came out of it. Tae knew these sounds. He pointed at his ears and the girl nodded. »I am Taehyung and you?« He asked her in sign language. »I am Hyuna.« He smiled. »Do you want to play too?« She nodded fast. »But they won't play with me because I can't talk.« She wiped a tear out of her face with her small hands. »I can play with you. Okay?« »Are you deaf too?« He shook his head. She nodded.
Then he grabbed her hand and played with the little girl for hours. After some time the kids around began to realize it and asked them if they could join. When Tae asked Hyuna if it was okay, the kids got surprised by the signs he made with his hands.
One girl walked up to Hyuna and grabbed her hands »I want to be your friend! Teach he your hand magic.« Hyuna smiled up to Tae and told him to say her she loved to be her friend and she can maybe teach her.
After three hours or so Tae told the kids he had to leave. He gave Hyuna a big hug. She thanked him for today and then he left.
He was pleased with himself and felt good, but a sad smile plastered his face, when he crossed the street and looked up to the empty house. It will be taken down soon since no one lived there anymore anyway. 
                          
When he got home he didn't bother to search his father to tell him he was back. He went straight to his room and threw himself on his bed. Tae hugged the small stuffed, pink bunny he owned and started to cry helplessly. Yes, today was one of these days.
                          
When he woke up the next day his throat felt sore. His eyes burned from dried tears. He decided he should take a shower before school.
After that he felt a little more alive, but still awful.
Tae put on a black hoodie and hide his face in it's hood. He also wore a simlpe dark blue jeans. When he was fully dressed and pleased with himself he grabbed his bag and phone and ran downstairs, where he was greeted by his father. »Morning son.« He said in his business tone. »Hello.«
The man cleared his throat. »Jerry will drive you today. You can take the bus next week again.« Tae knew better than to start a fight so he only gave him a simple nod before passing by and leaving the house.
Jerry waited in front of the car and opened the door for Taehyung. »Good morning, sir.« Tae didn't answer but sat down.
