Last semester. June 26, 2017.

Taehyung was on his way to gather his belongings from the bag room after his long 2-hour test. The college provided students with bag rooms where they can safely store their belongings during their exams. Taehyung had just finished the exam with a few minutes left to spare, so the blonde had proceeded to grab his bag and phone. 

Reaching the middle of the bag room, Taehyung grabbed the large apple phone from the electronics basket and left to meet with Jimin at the nearest café. 

However, as he was walking an unfamiliar sound from the phone in his hand had notified him from a new message.

Opening the phone, Taehyung first noticed the unfamiliar big green tree wallpaper spread across the locked screen. After a couple of seconds, the notification appeared and caught his attention.

"I don't think we can meet today, Joohyun-unnie just texted me saying that she had to tutor a new student who failed 1st-year hospitality. I mean it's the ea…" Taehyung read in a low whisper. 

Taehyung's interest was perked with the mention of the name Joohyun. Intending to further read the message, the blonde boy attempted to unlock the phone. However, after consecutive tries, the boy abandoned his mission to unlock the phone as he thought that the owner may be upset with another person attempting to snoop around their phone.

"It couldn't be," He whispered thinly. "What are the chances that the owner of this phone is friends with Joohyun-noona?" 

Upon rereading the latest message, Taehyung had decided to monitor the names of the sender. The first message was from a female foreigner - he assumed -  named Wendy. Before he could even consider the possibility of having the wrong Joohyun, another message had popped up on the locked device.

"Is that even possible? Can you fail 1st-year Hospitality?" Taehyung giggled as he re-read the message. Indeed it was difficult for an individual with common sense to fail hospitality - much less in its infancy. Taehyung noted that this message was from another girl named Seulgi. 

Another quiet buzz notified Taehyung of another incoming message. This time a reply from the foreigner.

"Apparently so," He laughed. "She should really quit working though, she's nearly graduating so she should focus on her studies." 

It didn't require a genius that the girls were talking about this girl named Joohyun. Knowing Taehyung's level of intellect, it wasn't long until he pieced all the pieces of the puzzle together. Bae Joohyun has been renown for her grace and peaceful movements, so it wasn't a wonder that the girl had excelled greatly in hospitality even in its final years. In fact, the hospitality department had utilized her face and campus fame as an attractor to students who are choosing extra subjects. 

However, in all of Taehyung's stalking days, he has never come across any form of information regarding a part-time job as a tutor in the Campus Tutoring Services. It wasn't an information that he could have missed, he knew almost everything there is to know about her - he checked. The boy had contemplated taking Hospitality as an extra unit within his previous semesters in hopes to gain the girl's attention. However, his simple rolled egg or instant ramen skills didn’t seem enough to wow his beloved Noona. 

If CTS was out of the picture, the only other possible tutoring services commercially available was the Underground Tutoring Program. Now Taehyung may be a little bit odd but he wasn't stupid. He has heard of the infamous rumors regarding the Underground Tutoring Program. The tutors - as they are commonly called around the campus - are a group of bright college students who remain unknown to the majority of students and college officials.

Before he could further ponder about his recent theory another message from another girl named Yeri arrived. 

"Joohyun-unnie should just lessen her workload," Taehyung wondered what had prompted his Noona to participate in a part-time tutoring gig. Just the thought of his beloved Noona needing to participate in a stressful work environment to support her education and daily needs brought chills down the blonde's spine. 

Once again his line of thought was broken by another notification from the phone in his hand. 

"Yeah, like taking clients who only need tutoring in easy subjects," Taehyung noted that this message was a reply from Seulgi. 

Re-reading the latest message, Taehyung thoughts were once again interrupted by a final reply from Yeri. 

"Like Social Science." 

And with that, an ingenious idea popped into the head of the blonde boy.

A/N: 
Hello everyone! Guess who??? IT'S ME!!! I'm alive and writing~
Sorry for the very late update I was just caught up in a lot of things I will try to update much quicker this time around. I am trying to update my other series so please do be patient with me. 

I'm sorry if you guys are a bit annoyed with the speed of the plot. It is a somewhat of a slow boiler. lol. But tomorrow I promise to finally introduce our favorite girl! I am just reminding you that if a story is a slow boiler - I like calling it that - then when we do reach that fluff and other drama then we can prolong it and enjoy it tastefully. So, let's all be patient and wait for the exciting bits to come up~

Do suss me out! Try to figure out with other stories/series written by me. Try to figure out my English tendencies, like are there any words that I like to use? Have you noticed that I use a lot of weird words? 

But I will be updating 'Glimpses of Joy' next so look forward to that~
