Masterlist

Summary: You've met Kim Taehyung. Everyone has. [a drabble in which you go to the same school with the Bangtan gang and are tiring to figure out if that's what they really are. a gang? or a pack?] Word Count: +1k Note: Make sure you read Namjoon's chapter first. Basically, there's no first or last chapter with this little series, but Namjoon's chapter kinda creates a basis. (idk, it just makes sense to me.) dedicated to my precious baby @dope-boss who ended up with Tae as her bias because she couldn't choose and asked me to do it for her ✨

Gif not mine, credits to the owner.

You’ve met Kim Taehyung. Everyone has. Either in the cafeteria, in class or in the green park that this school flaunts as its biggest attraction. Although everyone knows that’s a position already occupied by the slim, cheeky Taehyung. He’s part of the Bangtan gang for sure, always linking arms with Jimin and pushing his nose into Jungkook’s hair - a friendly gesture the shy younger one tolerates.

However, his closeness with them doesn’t deter him from meeting every student in his grade individually, taking at least one break to pass the time and the gap from I know you by sight to We’re acquaintances and I wouldn’t mind hanging out with you. You’re not sure how he does it, but he is a true social butterfly, denying no one the smooth tone of his voice or the bright bubbling of his laughter.

But the fact that astounds you to no end is that he actually remembers almost everything. He may be chained to low grades in Mathematics and Chemistry class, but all social information just sticks on him like he’s honey. And the fact that he’s talking to literally everyone lends him vast knowledge.

The first time he came to sit with you, he’d initiated small talk that transitioned to weightier topics faster than you could think. Unlike with others, Taehyung’s listening gaze and body posture had been soft as you willingly listed the reasons for your current unhappiness. He had attentively listened and even given helpful advice that had embedded itself in your chest ever since. The next day, you had found a sweet note on your desk together with a small care package, all of it decorated with Jimin’s neat handwriting and Taehyung’s thoughts.

“I hope you know that you are precious,” it whispers in beautiful calligraphy. “May your trials end in full bloom.” It’s only then that you realize that Taehyung had never asked you to reveal your burdens to him. He hadn’t prodded or poked, his presence had merely made you so comfortable that you had dropped everything on him without even asking. The thoughtful care package had almost made you feel guilty then. Talking to your friends that day, making them revisit their own memories about their first encounter with Taehyung, you all realized something shocking. All of them had been in a similar situation with him.

Something about Taehyung seems to make people entrust him with their secrets. Maybe it’s the big brown eyes that spell home. With rosé cheeks, you think that you don’t actually mind Taehyung knowing so much about you. There’s not a single time anyone had ever seen or heard him gossiping. Behind his back, people admire his purity and his innocence. No, you trust Taehyung for some strange reason.

Returning to the second time you met the skinny energetic boy, which had been almost two months after the first time, your brain pointed out that talking to him increased a sense of comfort in you. It gave you a feeling of completeness. He casually picked up where he left off the last time, asking about your family, your hobbies. Being the active listener he is, you end up with tears of being touched and not an inch of knowledge about him (just tidbits, even though he answers each of your questions truthfully).

However, he appears in the school play during the summer drama, wrapped in a Greek chiton, letting a naked shoulder excite the girls in the grade beneath and the row before you. They giggle. Obviously, they are enamored. It doesn’t really make sense to you until another actor puts a golden laurel on Taehyung’s head.

Under the stage lights, his black eyes turn into blue crystals, his eyes connect to yours. It’s a second maybe but it’s a weighty, long second at the same time. Like his mind connects to yours for this moment in the universe, you know that he is indeed looking at you, not the crowd all around. As if it’s your soul he’s picking out consciously from all the people here. You shiver albeit feeling heated. Taehyung nods, either because he accomplished or accepted something or even just because his drama role requires him to, but you sense that nod in your heart. When he goes back to the next scene, you drown in the thudding of your soul. Something’s happened. You just don’t know what it is.

After that, it’s almost like you can smell Taehyung. Every time he’s around, no matter if near or far, your mind just knows. He doesn’t talk to you much apart from friendly conversations about presentations and projects, but the strange feeling seems to be mutual, albeit a little secretive.

What you can count on are Taehyung’s gentle, kind eyes on your bad days. On the days that suck, your focus is easily drawn to the glorious lighthearted banter that the boy shares with his friends. It makes you want to join in, tempted by this mysterious feeling of closeness, but then you remember that you’re not part of the Bangtan gang, so you stay away. The strange connection to him is comforting even if you have no idea what it is exactly that holds the two of you together so tightly.

Finally, when you step up to the platform next to Namjoon, you understand. Taehyung greets you first out of all the pack. The fur of his cheeks is at least as smooth as his voice as he caresses your hands.

“Take your place in the pack,” he advises, “we’ve all been waiting for you.”

He’s the Wise Wolf, the secret-keeper, the wolf of knowledge to advise the Alpha. The old soul in a young body, drawn to what’s good and pleasant. With a deep breath, you feel the impact he has on the pack. It’s become peaceful, more balanced with his presence, able to read the crowds around them. If he says that there are no potential threats, everyone relaxes. Maybe that is why the wolves are so calm with you around. On second thought, maybe they just like you. His brown eyes twinkle along with the stars before he sets off to play with Hoseok.

“Welcome home, soul-friend.”

Thanks for reading! :)
