good luck w the testing and a happy early new year!!
thank you it's already happened when this was sent but we all did get one free point for the listening section bc the audio fucked up and we didn't get to hear the part with the last question's answer. but I will now think this is luck borrowed from the future when this ask was sent
#bakuspeech#ask#I tweeted a storm inbetween the written competencies (morning) and the speaking test (afternoon) lmao#but its on my wretched personal acc so it's for me. it's just for me#I dressed. and this is not me being unkind to myself. like a mister bean character to that test. like I got a woolen suit jacket on#with the dress shoes of mismatched laces. AND Ive been bald recently#honest to gods can Not tell how well I did in the written tests. like I finished all of them with at least ten minutes to spare#but it's because they kept putting a giant timer on the projector screen and it scared me so bad. delf trauma#the content of the test itself I straight up. dont know if its any good#the thing with me. that u can probably tell by idk looking at me and hearing me talk and stuff. is that I speak english but I am#VERY bad at tests#which makes any formalized english testing for me extremely fucking funny#and like it's supposed to be in the same structure as an ielts set of questions and apparently that means#they kept asking me to confirm or deny that the author of the text agrees with the statements they got in the questions#and I was sitting there like okay you made me read about weird phrenology shit and then you ask me this?? like are we asking#textual or contextual or. how deep into the rhetorics are we talking here. cause two of these three authors are certified weirdos#(yes the reading segment had three texts. one was about physiognomy and how there was definitely a grain of truth in there#one was about tea - this is the inconspicuous one - and the last one was about the potentials of toxinology#with a general vibe of pseudomedicine zeal to its writing. it's probs from a family magazine or something)#so straight up yeah I can defend my quiz answers to a judge but that does Not mean it's gonna be the one on the answer sheet yknow#kinda the same with the writing segment. where like they gave me an extremely easy to expand on subject and then a piece of paper#the length of a receipt. and that just. I could NOT parse the expectation of that setup#like I saw that and was like. so do you want me to do it badly? or do it so excellently I deliver all I think in like 100 words or less?#cause I'm capable of one of those things and the distinction is important here#and like. yes I know it's a language aptitude test. they're looking to know if I speak english#and I Have done something like this before multiple times just with a different language. but that was. idk I have never had a ladder here#I know I speak the language. YOU can probably tell I speak the language. would this test's result reflect that? I don't know!#it's a baffling experience. I'm still thinking about it the day after. tldr it's really not about the english for me it's about the testing#it's so. it's reflected so clear in the listening test where I missed an entire question (other than the one they gave us for free) bc#my brain just noped out of my body for three seconds and when I yanked it back the tape's already moved on

Pairing: Yoongi x Reader
Genre: Fluff(lots of them), a drop of angst, Single Dad! AU, College! AU, Introvert! Yoongi, Tutor! Y/n
Word Count:1.8k
Synopsis: Yoongi found a basket left in front of his dorm room one day, and turns out it was his daughter, left alone crying. Puzzled and scared was an understatement. When his 4 semesters roommate Jimin left for his hometown, he was left with the last straw of help, turning to his physics tutor a.k.a friend-that-I-only-know-name-but-have-no-interest-in-knowing-more; you.
Series: Masterlist l Part 1 I Part 3
                                    Pt.2-It’s a girl, dumbass
                                                 °•. ✿ .•°
It took a while for you to realize but as soon as the bottle ran out of milk, you were taken aback by the sleeping figure in your arm. You smiled softly as you take in the infant’s features, starting from its’s soft baby hairs to those closed eyes and lastly to the little pair of soft faint pink lips. Even in sleep, the peaceful feature of the infant enhanced the mint polka dot clothes she wears.
“Your back must’ve hurt, I’ll help put her back into her basket.”, Yoongi reached out his hands but you take a small step backwards.
“Ah no no it’s okay, I wanna hold her a little bit longer.”
Yoongi nod, turning his head away and scratched the back of his neck. Now what?
“I don’t want to put her down, but that doesn’t mean I want to stand all day.”, you laughed softly.
“Oh right, come sit at the sofa.”
As both of you sit down, the room fell into a deep silence again, only accompanied by soft breathings and Yoongi’s thumping heartbeat (he wish you didn’t inch closer, you’ll hear it for sure). Why is he so nervous again? Yeah yeah, his physics tutor is here, coming back after what Yoongi assumed wouldn’t and she’s holding his child. His!
“Are you gonna keep her?”
“Firstly I dunno it’s even a girl”
“Seriously Yoongi? Her clothes say it all.”
“Okay okay I don’t major in children like you.”
“It’s actually early childhood education you moron. But knowing her gender by her clothes is actually basic in life!”
“There’s unisex clothing”, Yoongi defended.
“She’s wearing a dress!”, You half yelled half-whispered and glanced downward to make sure the infant in your hand didn’t wake up from the commotion, but soon you heaved a sigh as the baby snuggled close to you, seeking warmth. That’s when it hits you that the room temperature could still be cold to the baby as their skin is still too thin.
“Hey, hand me a blanket or something. I think I saw one in the bag, the green one.”
Yoongi stand up and reached for the bag, which you left on the kitchen counter. He rummaged through it while walking back to you.
“And second, I actually don’t know if I could keep her”
He didn’t get a response, so he lifts up his head, to see you frowning on the sofa, face edged with worries while staring at his daughter. A sudden wave of warmth wash over him, but he quickly refocus on the task beforehand, his hand still rummage through the bag.
“It’s actually a towel.”
Yoongi showed you the green material in his hand, which truly, is a towel.
“It’s too small, won’t cover her feet though.”, your eyes travel upward to Yoongi’s body and stare maybe a bit too long for Yoongi’s liking.
He cleared his throat and speaks again, “Now what?”
“Take off your clothes.”
“What?!”
The baby in your hand stirred a little, whining before falling back to sleep. Once you were sure she was in dreamland again, you shoot a death glare to Yoongi.
“Sorry, but you, you want me to, take, take off my clothes?”
“The first layer, Yoongi. Your shirt is big enough to wrap her wholly.”
“O-oh”, Yoongi quickly wiggled himself out of his grey checkered print button-up shirt leaving him in his black plain shirt, and hands it to you.
“Spread it open, then put it here”, you patted a spot beside you on the sofa and Yoongi complied.
Once the shirt is layed on the sofa, you carefully put down the baby in the middle of the material, careful not to wake her up from her deep slumber. Suddenly, you froze midway and turn to him, wide eyes.
“Please say this is clean.”
Yoongi scoffed, “I just did laundry. If you come here two days ago I would've a different answer.”
“Sorry, its just...baby are sensitives to this kind of thing, we should be careful.” You then take the right side of the shirt before pulling it to the left side, slipping it under the baby’s small figure, working the same on the left side. Yoongi watched in silence as her daughter soon turned into a small bundle of burrito in his shirt, he nearly teared off, his eyes are watery just by the sight of it.
“You order a 32 weeks old smol size of burrito, sir?”, you reached out Yoongi’s daughter to him, hoping that he take it but Yoongi didn’t get the message though.
“How do you know she’s 32 weeks?”
“I assumed, infant isn’t supposed to open their eyes before reaching 26 weeks old. Since she did, that means her eyes are fully developed so she must be older. Judging from her cry, her voice is clear so that means older than 28 weeks. So yeah, 32 weeks.”
“Wow… you aren’t lying when you said kids are your passion.”, Yoongi comment quietly.
“I learnt about this Yoongi, even if you ask other students in my course, they’ll have the same answer as mine”, you retracted your hand, keeping the baby close to you.
“I’m gonna try you know”
“Huh?”
“I said I don’t know if I could keep her, I have, dare I say negative experience in this child-raising thing. But that doesn’t stop me from trying, she’s my child, by blood and I’ll keep her for my whole life.”
“Okay, sounds good enough to me”, you smiled, “Now come sit, or are you planning on standing forever?”
Yoongi slowly stride over, sitting beside you and smiled at his daughter. That’s when a question spring into your mind.
“What’s her name?”
“I dunno? It doesn’t say in the card.”
“Well, what do you want to name her then?”
“Me?”
“Yeah you, she’s your child, by blood and all”
Yoongi pondered on it for a moment before breaking out a small smile, eyes on his daughter.
“Inara…Min Inara”
“What does that mean? That doesn’t sound korean”
“It’s Arabic which means Light, the light of my life.”
“That’s…awfully sweet, I need to do a health checkup to find out if I got a diabetes hearing that.”
“What?”
“You know diabetes, the excessive glucose in blood? Cause your words just now is extremely sweet and sweetness could be associated with glucose which could cause diabetes so…”
“You know, when you explain it, you sound so much dumber than you already are.”
“Excuse me, I didn’t get a freaking five for my physics test like seriously…five? The hell did you do?”
“I wrote my name, stand up and submit the test.”
Your mouth dropped open, it was your first time asking the reason how he got a freaking five, and to be honest, you did not expect this level of unbothered. But at the same time, you shouldn’t be, he’s the great so talked Min Yoongi. Heart of stone, unemotional, hard to crack, but as someone who had been tutoring him for less than a year now, you could prove none of those gossips were true. Yoongi is…well, Yoongi. He’s unique in his own way, emits his own vibe and talk what he wants to say, not what people wants to hear. That was what you secretly admire about Min Yoongi, he shines in his own galaxy and one time, you wanted to be in his orbit though if you told him you were sure he’s gonna judge you silently, like all those sharp comeback and dagger stares.
“If I knew you were that helpless I would’ve said no.”
“Would you?”
Right, would you? You even goes all the way from the other side of the campus to the boys dormitories, almost trip at the stairs, run to girls dormitories to meet Kim Woyeon to ask her for some formulae powder because she once got pregnant and have a son for a while, you figured she would still have some left, then run back to Yoongi’s dorm to feed his daughter. You did so much already in the span of two hours, would you reject his offer way back in the past? You weren’t sure but sudden fear filled your thoughts. Why did you become so selfless when it comes to Yoongi? Why were you so submissive? No, it was an act of kindness to a friend. Min Yoongi is a friend. You were sure of it, but it scares you that you need to chant it over and over in your head as if you were convincing the fact to yourself.
“You could’ve save all the hustle and ask Namjoon instead. He’s one of the alphas too”
Yoongi snorted and lean back on the sofa, shaking his head in strong disagreement.
“You think I don’t? But I quit after like, two weeks or something.”
“Why?”
“Imagine going out to hang with your friends only to be held from sitting until you explain the definition of Newton’s first law, or solve a physics pop quiz right on the spot”, Yoongi grunt and closed his eyes. He seems traumatized by it.
“That hard?”
“You don’t know Kim Namjoon well enough, you think you do, but the truth is you don’t. You never been his student and I swear I hated going out more than before. I’m even scared to cross path with him during class hour. He’s a good guy, but without all his books and papers, yeah.”
You need to agree to the last part, that one is true.
“Different from you, you were hard, but not that extreme, I could tolerate you enough.”
“Oh really? I’m grateful to he-“
Yoongi cut in your words, “But I do consider cutting ties on the first day after your said gel pen is better than ball pen.”
You take advantage of his lack of self guard to hit him square on his upper arm, to which he grunted in response.
“How can you hold a baby and still hit me that hard?”
“I have two hands Yoongi.”
“Oh Y/n look”
You hold back whatever comeback you wanted to throw straight to his face about how gel pen is better, you almost pull out a 50 slides of presentation to support your words, but all of that was held back when you were met with a pair of the most beautiful eyes you ever seen. Those wide eyes shows that she had been listening to both you and Yoongi’s conversation for a long time. Meh, not that she’ll remember anyway, her memory storage part in her brain isn’t fully developed yet. Oh, you remembered that she’s staring at a stranger so you, for real this time hold out Inara to Yoongi, if he still didn’t take her, you swear you’ll throw the baby right at his face. Okay, no that was an extreme hyperbole.
“I…don’t know if I can hold her. I, I don’t know how.”
“It’s okay, I’ll guide. Right, so hold out your hand like this”
You tried to transfer the baby in your arms into Yoongi’s but she cried as soon as she’s halfway there. Yoongi retracted away, you could see how stress he look.
“Hey relax, okay? Baby can sense when you’re uncomfortable. Just take a deep breath”
Yoongi look deeply at you and inhale.
“And out. In, and out”
After seeing Yoongi calmed down a bit, you step closer, you socks covered feet meet his bare one.
“Okay so, an infant’s head is the heaviest part of their body because the head developed first in the womb other than other organs which develops at a slower rate, so support her head.”
Inara is safely transferred to Yoongi, his hand is under her head.
“Good, now this hand-“, you take Yoongi’s other hand that is supporting Inara’s waist awkwardly, “-hold here”, you drag it to hold Inara’s bottom as you speak.
“Bring her close to your chest, baby feels calm when they hear your heartbeat. Try it.”
Yoongi pull Inara closer to him, her head rested sideways on his chest and as that, Inara who had been wiggling around stopped.
“Is she dead? I killed her!”
“No Yoongi”, you let out a scoff along with a small laugh, “She’s relaxed. Look, you’re bonding. How does it feel?”
“It feels…calming”, you could swear you catch a faint smile appeared on Yoongi’s lips.
“Yeah, holding your child is a healing process, and actually a chance to get closer.”
“You must have got an ‘A+’ for this in your class.”
“Actually,”, you tucked in a stray strand of hair to the back of your ears, “I only learn this theoretically. I practice this umm, out of class hour.”
“Where?”
“At umm, at my place.”, you nervously fidget with your fingers.
“Your neighbourhood got a lot of kids?”
“You bet, tons of them, variety of age even.”
“Wow, I think you’re, you’re an incredible person, Y/n, just wanna put it out there.”
“Thanks Yoongi, and I think you need a tissue now.”
“Huh why-“
“Inara just barfed on your shirt.”, you giggled.
“Awh Inara! It was a black shirt!”
“Hold up, I’ll help.”
Yoongi watched you rushed into the kitchen to grab some paper towel in pure awe. Maybe, just maybe, receiving Inara out of nowhere is a blessing in disguise.
