okay! i don't know if this one is really your style as i imagine it being set in a high school setting and i don't know if you just prefer to write older characters but anyway again you can switch who is who but i imagine taehyung who has been homeschooled his entire life and was taken out of school very young (the reason can be up to you!) but his parents (i imagine him having two moms, no idea why and you can change if you want but honestly just he is a complete mamas boy in my mind) are always subtly trying to convince him to start real school again but he likes being homeschooled. in the summer break before his last year he finally agrees because he wants friends. (to be honest i have no idea how accurate this is, i don't know if you can just join a whole school just for senior year but for the sake of taekook let's pretend it's very accurate (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) ) so he goes to school with the intention of making friends. the only person he knows at this point is yoongi as he is a family friend but he isn't that close with him. but if all else fails he can try and hang out with yoongis group at school. anyway here is where jungkook comes in. jungkook hangs out with the wrong crowd, at first all his friends were fine and he had fun with them but over the years they became more and more mean and rude towards other people and were basically a really hostile group. jungkook himself never got involved in any of it he just sat back and watched it happen but he slowly became more cold and closed off and his spark kinda disappeared. but he doesn't see any point in leaving as he only has to get through one more year and he doesn't want to deal with the drama that would happen if he cut them off. anyway because he hangs out with the wrong people he becomes more careless and rule breaking and the principal decides that a good way to prove himself is to be a 'buddy' for the new student (taehyung). jungkook doesn't like this idea. he doesn't want to spend his time babysitting some new kid but he agrees anyway because it's either that or being punished. so he goes in early to school as instructed and meets taehyung for the first time in the principals office. i imagine it being a very awkward but endearing fic. and i imagine taehyung having autism but wether that's explicitly stated in the fic or not is up to you. anyway it's a lot of taehyung being awkwardly social and not really knowing social cues but jungkook finding him endearing for some reason and becoming very attached to him. jungkooks friend group maybe aren't the kindest to taehyung as they don't see the sweet boy jungkook sees they just see a new weird kid who is being forced to hang out with them. but it's taehyung who helps jungkook get rid of them and makes jungkook realise they aren't good for him. taehyung is the one who helps jungkook leave and helps him get his spark back. while jungkook becomes everything taehyung ever wanted, a friend and something even more than that. he defends taehyung when anyone tried to say anything and taehyung didn't defend himself. basically right person right time. there's lots of like little bits i imagine and little scenes all jumbled up at different points of the story like for example taehyung the night before his first day googling how to make friends or a lot later on taehyung goes to a party with jungkook and ends up hating it and escapes, jungkook finds him and comforts him and shows him a way for them to sit outside on the roof where they can feel the cold night air and taehyung sleepily admitting that he doesn't like jungkooks friends as he falls asleep on jungkooks shoulder, or a scene where he meets jungkooks friend group for the first time and compliments his friend's girlfriend just to be nice but it's taken as him hitting on her and they don't take it well and stuff like that happening quite a lot throughout the fic. just little scenes like that which obviously you don't have to include at all IF you do end up taking inspiration from any of this but just like to get across how i see the vibe of the fic and how i see them. sorry this is INCREDIBLY long i just don't know how to simplify things haha and i get if this isn't your style it's just an idea that's really been on my mind of two sweet boys meeting when they need eachother most but didn't even know it themselves and i think you could write that really well ^⁠⁠⁠_⁠^ (also when i first had the idea i initially thought of them with the roles switched but then i thought of how i typed it now and i love it either way. i feel like the roles this way kinda match how you often write taekook more but if you switch the roles and prefer it that way of jungkook being the homeschooled one and taehyung being the other role then that's completely fine too!
