Jin whooped once and Yoongi had to gesture to quiet him down. He stayed silent until Jiho finished, but then he applauded and Jin joined in excitedly, finally cheering out loud.
"You are like Mozart, Jiho!" Jin just said the first music name that came to mind. Yoongi laughed, but he nodded.
"You are clearly very advanced, Jiho, very talented. We will arrange for solo lessons, I will talk to your teachers so we can find the best times." Clearly one of this better students, he could tell by that one piece already. "Would you be interested in taking part in competitions? You don't have to tell me now, it's something to think about. You should be proud of your talent and practise a lot."
"I don't know if I have time. I have to study, I'm not doing so well at... at everything, actually. And then there's my brother. Maybe? I don't know. I know I have to be good at something or I'm good at nothing." And if he wasn't good at this, he was a failure. Still, if he had class and competitions, Tae would be at home alone. With their father. Nope, didn't seem possible.
"I'll get back to you." Jiho idly played a scale as he turned to Jin, smiling and wishing he could play a piece just for Jin -- which was weird, he knew, on hindsight but Jin was special. He could already tell.
He wanted to play more for him already. "I do practise a lot though. I have a piano at home."
"I dunno, my last school was nice to. I'm the problem. I can't help being stupid." He was okay with it, he didn't even seem all that sad as he stated it. It was something he had been told as a fact almost all his life - by now, it was just words. He was stupid. He failed every subject. He probably flunked kindergarten!
Still, he could play and maybe that was his way to being good at school. He played a little bit again, smiling as he did so. "Eomma said music was forever too."
She said it was the best language in the world. So even if he struggled with Korean, he would always have music.
"You can't be stupid if you understand music this well. Might just mean you are smart in a different way." Yoongi shrugged, playing a little bit to make his point. "I never cared about anything but music and it worked out for me too."
"Yoongi-ssi is a real musician! There are CDs you can buy, I will show you." Jin was excited that his new friend got such praise. "I bet you could be on CDs too, like an idol. You are so good, Jiho!"
"You are famous?" Was he all famous and special because he could play piano? That was so cool. He looked at Yoongi like he was the best thing to ever happy, his eyes wide with excitement. "Yoongi-nim, you're so impressive. I didn't know. My abeoji said there was a good music program here but I wasn't sure cause he doesn't get music."
Some people didn't get music. He did. TaeTae did too. He looked at Jin, climbing off the bench. "You can show me the CDs."
"I wouldn't say famous. But I do some stuff." It had kind of fallen into place. Yoongi had been ready to give up on his dreams and on life, really, when he had met Namjoon. Somehow that had led to him getting the teaching job here and around the same time he finally got the recording deal he'd been waiting for, which meant that the school now paid him more, since it meant they could boast about being especially prestigious. They did have a good music program, even if he had to put up with a lot of unqualified brats.
"I look forward to teaching you, Jiho." Yoongi bowed a little, smiling when he saw Jin taking Jiho's hand again. Cute. "You'll have a good time here, when your friend is the school's tiny idol."
Jin beamed and pulled a red heart out of his pocket. Made of paper. He kissed it and then handed it to Jiho. "I'll come to all your concerts, Jiho!"
Jiho took the heart, blushing furiously as he looked at Jin with awe. So much awe that he walked into the door, not out of the door. He was in love. There was nothing he could do about it, it was all too late. He was in love. All was lost.
He had to tell someone. He could tell Tae tonight.

Maybe not what a teacher should say, it certainly made Jin laugh, shaking his head. "Namjoon-ssi will be mad if he hears that, Yoongi-ssi!"
"Then you just don't tell him, huh?" Yoongi reached out to ruffle Jiho's hair. "You might have a better time here than your old school. It's nice."
Cost a lot, but at least it tended to be worth it.
