Seconds turned into a full minute as Jungkook was mesmerized by Jimin's attractive looks. He never expected to stop right where he sat and glance up at the tutor he believed was just an old man hiding behind a perfect picture. Jimin smiled with his plump lips and tilted his head to see Jungkook right before him; completely silenced. Of course, Jimin took no long minute to observe Jeon Jungkook right before him. But seeing the young student before him doing so, caused a smile to appear over the older man's face.

“Hello, Jeon Jungkook. Are you surprised my picture wasn't fake?” Jimin spoke up and was very intelligent when it came to figuring this one out. He caught the young man off guard and this made Jungkook blink his eyes and blush. “Don't be shy, talk to me. I'm very talkative.”

“I-I was a little surprised…” Jungkook replied, avoiding eye contact before throwing the lid of the laptop down halfway. Leaving Jimin to look at the keyboard of the young man's laptop. “Now that we've seen each other, I think having a conversation like this will work. Maybe… The lessons will work like this?”

“What a lovely keyboard… Ah, don't humor me, Jungkook. Look at me. Where did you go to hide? I'm no monster, Jungkook.” Jimin added with a sigh before pressing his body back against the bed he sat over to look down onto his screen.

Jungkook let out an exhale once more and rose the screen until it was pointed towards his face. “Here I am… I'm sorry, I got nervous. Maybe video chat isn't my thing… I feel embarrassed.”

“There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Let me look at you. I'm trying to get the name matched with the face.” Jimin stated. Jungkook also took a moment to fix his eyes onto the man's unbuttoned shirt. His hair was rolled back, eyes filled with such a serious look falling onto the screen, plump lips curved upwards and fair skin over his own slightly, tanned, body. “See? You don't have to hide from me now.” Mentioned the man and made an adoring smile. “Alright, so.. tell me about yourself. I'd like to get to know my students before tutoring them. As in, why do you need this and what do you lack.”

“O-Oh I-”

“Don't stutter. There's no way you could be scared of me… Are you scared of me?” Asked the older so suddenly and made Jungkook swiftly shake his head. “You're just shy. I see…”

“A little…” Replied Jungkook and finally looked at the small camera above the screen. “I've never video chatted with anyone outside of my family. This feels so new to me..”

“You're like a child. Grow up, Jungkook this is serious. I can see why you like texting more than having a conversation. You don't like it when I stare at you, don't you?” Chuckles then erupted from in between Jimin's lips as his head tilted to focus onto the boy through the screen. “Oh Jungkook, what goes on in that little head of yours?”

“Nothing apparently, I can't seem to do anything right when it comes to schoolwork and I… I'm desperate for help…” Jungkook confessed and looked away most of the time. “I need help with my class requirements to get into Medical school.”

“Doctor? Such a tough job. But, I believe in you. Talk to me, Jungkook. What do you need help with now? Are you passionate towards it?” With every tone to the soothing voice Park Jimin had, Jungkook grew distracted for most of it. He pictured Jimin's voice soothing him to sleep instead of tutoring. With this, Jungkook just knew his focus would be thrown out the window.

“Calculus. But I don't seem very passionate towards anything at the moment. Not even the road to becoming a doctor.” The boy opened up and nervously touched the knuckles of his own hands. “At times, I want to give something up… But, thinking back at how far I've gone, I don't ever want to stop until I just get it done. It's so competitive in the medical field. I don't like it… I'm not giving the best of me.” As Jungkook spoke, he didn't feel so shy and he stuttered less now. On the other hand, as his eyes fell over the screen once more, he noticed Jimin writing down on a clipboard. “Jimin you aren't listening! I-I need help…”

“The name is Mr. Park, Jungkook. That is the only name I should hear coming from you when you address me. Don't get sassy with me either. I want you to be more polite.” Jimin replied calmly and blinked his eyes up to the screen where he tipped his rectangular glasses down. “Let's try that again in a more… Suitable tone for Mr. Park.”

“Mr. Park, I need help… Please help me..” Jungkook spoke into a softer tone. “I'm sorry… Mr. Park…”

“You weren't kidding when you told me how desperate you were for help.” Spoke the young man as Jungkook let out a sigh. “It's okay, Jungkook. I'll help you. Besides, I was listening to you all along. I never miss a thing or a word you say. So, I made up a schedule for our sessions. It seems like you will need all the help you can get.” Jimin suggested and pushed his own glasses up. “We could have a session every night after you get home from school. But, I do want you to listen to your parents and cook for them if they-”

“I live alone…” Jungkook interrupted as the man through the screen chuckled and bit his own bottom lip once his head tossed down in silence. “Mr. Park…?”

“You're interrupting me… Jungkook.” The man pointed out and tilted his head with a smile that made the situation seem lighter than usual. However, Jimin took it seriously. “I don't like being interrupted while I'm in the middle of talking, Jungkook.”

“I'm sorry, Mr. Park.”

“I accept your apology. Anyway, now that I know you live alone, then that means I don't have to talk to your parents to agree with late night reviews before you get to sleep. Living on your own… That's a pretty big step to do at such a young age.”

“It's not like that, Mr. Park. I'm not all alone. My parents agreed to letting me get my own place and they pay for me and my tuition. Ah, it's not the best place but it's all I have.” The young student added.

“Do you know how to cook? You should at least know how to make rice on your own. Eating is also a good thing to keep in track. It keeps the body going and the brain thinking. Please don't tell me you just sit around and eat instant, frozen, dinners…” Jimin wondered and to his surprise, his own student remained silent and allowed his face to do the talking. “Jungkook, that's not good for you. I think it's better you learn to cook or else, just go home and stay right there. This life isn't cut out for you to sit around and pour boiling water into dry noodles and call it a meal. You need to start taking things seriously.”

“Thank you, Mr. Park. Maybe I will give cooking a try, thank you for the good pointers.” Jungkook thanked the older and smiled. He never thought how careful and intelligent the man was. Jimin was respectful and gentle. All in which Jungkook found very suitable for him to be his new tutor. “So, how much will I have to pay you each week? I might be late on pays though…”

“Late?”

“Well, I'll have to find a job. However, my family doesn't really want me to do that. They cover everything for me… But they don't know about you. So, I have to go out of my way to pay you personally. I-I don't want them thinking I'm not as smart as I told them I was.”

“You know, Jungkook… Since I'm in such a good mood today, I think it's fair to pick you up even on the rainy days. I'll be your tutor, free of charge. Would you like that, Jungkook?”

“O-Oh yes, Mr. Park! Thank you! Ah, it's been such a crazy day for me… I'm so thankful to finally hear something like this. All free? Please let me give you something, Mr. Park.” Urged the man as Jimin smiled to himself with interest sparking the golden specks in his round eyes.

“Don't sweat it, Jungkook. I know how it feels to be in that position.” Jimin claimed and just when the conversation began to die out, Jungkook seemed to have a glow on his face to continue asking Jimin many things.

“I… Want to get to know you better… Which University did you go to? What type of pictures do you take?” Jungkook questioned and now, he just couldn't keep his eyes off his own tutor.

“You have such interest in me, Jungkook. Normally students will only focus on their studies and not ask me any questions. But you… You're more kind and less shy now. Did I make you comfortable? Ah, I would answer those questions, Jeon Jungkook… But I'd like you to focus on the things I tutor you on. You have no room to care about me in any way. I hope you understand that I do this for your own good.” The older spoke and slowly buttoned his shirt up. “Isn't that the reason why we are here? Because I am your tutor.” Park Jimin had a smart mouth, his words were always intelligent and spoken out to a calm tone. Never during the video chat did Jungkook feel so out of place. Jimin was sure to mention the things that always bothered him and Jungkook followed by it.

“It doesn't hurt to know you a little more. All I know about you is the fact that you love photography, love travelling, graduated college… I want to know a little more about you.” Suggested the boy, curiously.

“Fine, if you want to know, I'll say. Okay, Seoul National University, the pictures I take is mostly my friends and nature. Sometimes, people hire me to take pictures of weddings or even pictures of them getting their profiles in. Travelling… I've don't that plenty of times. I'm never home at Busan, I'm always up and about. I'm in Japan currently and I came from Paris. Then, I'll travel to London and probably America. It's fun for me. I'm in a business, so I travel for my boss so I can extend our empire. Isn't that nice? Now you know.” Jimin mentioned warmly and folded his arms. “You should be getting to sleep by now. It's almost eleven. Getting a perfect amount of rest really helps, Jungkook. However, don't think I didn't notice the bags under your eyes just because this was a video chat. I know it all.”

“O-Okay, Mr. Park. Here's my number so we wouldn't have to only text here.” Jungkook said with a yawn and rose his phone over to the screen so Jimin could copy it down. “I'll get some rest now, Mr. Park. It was a pleasure meeting you.”

“The pleasure is all mine. Goodnight, Jungkook.” Jimin concluded and with that, Jungkook logged off. Leaving Jimin to stare at the screen and finish up writing the schedule he had written for Jungkook. However, he never really showed Jungkook the end product. As the man looked up at the screen to see the call ended, he slowly licked his lips and bit down on his bottom lip while gazing at Jungkook's profile picture. Through his gentle lip bite, Jimin then smirked to himself after. “Jeon Jungkook… I like the sound of that..”
