Chapter 6
Missing PiecesTaehyung walked beside Jimin as he chatted animatedly about training and his childhood while they walked to their new living arrangements. He wasn’t sure if he should say anything so he just smiled at the young Matoki and laughed when he felt necessary. They made it to their room and stepped inside. It was a simple room, just like what was described, with two twin beds, dressers, a shared closet and a large hollo tv.
“Nice! Looks like we’ll be living good in here.” Jimin said as he tossed his bags on his bed closest to the door. “I’m gonna take this bed if that’s okay.”
Taehyung nodded and went to immediately unpack his things, careful to put the journal in his latch bag that’d he’d carry around everyday for class. They moved around, putting things away but it was very entertaining since they both started singing random words together. They left their door open as they put their things away, getting glances and giggles from the hallway as others passed by them.
“You guys are sure having fun.” Taehyung turned to the door and saw a matoki male standing in the doorway he didn’t recognize. “Jimin! C’mon introduce me to your roommate! Mine is a total bore.”
“Oh hey Bobby! This is Taehyung. Son of the Lieutenant on EXO Planet.” Jimin said while greeting the other Matoki in a brotherly manner.
Bobby whistled and grinned at Taehyung who stood shyly by his bed. “High ranking officer kids are something else. They even look different.”
“Taehyung this is my goofy friend Bobby. Don’t let his smile fool you, he’s actually pretty weak compared to the rest of us.” That caused Bobby to put Jimin in a headlock. Jimin pretended to struggle which made Taehyung laugh brightly.
“It’s nice to meet you. Who’s your roommate?” He hoped it wouldn’t be Sehun. That would make things uncomfortable.
“Some stiff with bags under his eyes. Why? Know him?”
Taehyung let out a sigh and smiled. “He’s an old friend. He’s really nice when he’s not with certain...other Exotytes.”
“Ah I feel you on that. We got that type. What’s the kid’s name again?” Bobby looked at Jimin.
“Oh you mean Kenny? He’s not so bad. I used to play with him when I was a kid.”
“A kid can change. Especially when he doesn’t want anyone else around you know who.”
Taehyung looked between them confused. “Do I want to know?”
Bobby and Jimin glanced at Taehyung before Jimin spoke. “You know that girl you were looking at before? The Captain’s daughter? That’s who you want to be careful around. Kenny has a huge thing for her and pretty much is the only guy allowed around her with her father’s blessing. Anyone else gets near her and it’s interrogation time.”
Taehyung took in the information and huffed. It wasn’t like he had anything to do with her. “Okay. So who’s this Kenny?”
“He’s the son of the Captain’s best friend. The Lieutenant’s son, like you.”
Taehyung’s eyes went wide and he nodded. “Sounds okay to me. My fathers would probably get along with his.”
Jimin and Bobby laughed at Taehyung’s nonchalant attitude. “I like him Jiminie. He’s cool in my book.”
“Wasn’t your senior supposed to meet you later Jimin?” Taehyung asked, sitting down on his bed.
“Oh Hoseok? , I almost forgot about him. I should definitely call him...tomorrow because tonight is
