Chapter 2
The Transfer Student[Jungkook could only smile at his words. Earlier, he had been internally thinking that he was being hasty with the feelings he'd been starting to get for the other, but obviously he was okay feeling what he felt. He knew that this was going way too fast and he knew that Tae knew as well. But They can totally make the friend thing work right? And maybe add some subtle flirting too?]
Tae: so...does that mean we're cool? And we can retry this whole friend thing?
Jungkook: yeah *smiles*
[That answer was all the reassurance he needed and he was glad that Jungkook didn't just want to run away from him right then and there]
Tae: well *smiles* you hungry?
Jungkook: I had some ramyun *looks over at my bowl*
Tae: *shakes my head and glances over at the half eaten bowl of ramyun* I know for a fact that wasn't enough for you. You're a big guy *gets up* come on, I'll get you something
Jungkook: you're gonna buy me food?
Tae: uh...yeah? Come on
[Jungkook had barely gotten a chance to get his shoes on before Tae was dragging him outside with him. It was already dark and was pretty cold out too. He could see the stars in the sky though. It wasn't cloudy for once and then he looked down and noticed Tae was still walking ahead and holding his wrist. When did he stop holding his hand? Jungkook figures there's nothing really to worry about. It was a fairly decent walk to the small restaurant but it was nice and seemed quicker since they talked the entire time. Tae ordered their food and Jungkook found them a place to sit. They spent the first few minutes eating silently, but only because the food tasted that good]
Tae: so...*sips my soda* where are you from?
Jungkook: like... my hometown?
Tae: mhm
Jungkook: Busan
Tae: what? Really? Jimin's from there too
Jungkook: and hes the same age as you or...?
Tae: yeah, we're the same age. I'm from Daegu though
Jungkook: do you visit home often?
Tae: I try to every few months, what about you?
Jungkook: *looks down and shrugs* My family is...
Tae: complicated? *smiles sadly*
[Jungkook wasn't expecting Tae to immediately understand, but he did. That was the first time Jungkook didn't have to explain himself entirely to someone. It felt good to meet someone that understood, which that he knew that Tae would wait for him to open up about it]
Jungkook: *nods and continues eating my food* well...how'd you get into art?
Tae: hmm...*looks out the window* I grew up in the country and I would always go outside for walks. I have a thing for nature so if you were to look through my sketchbooks that's mainly all that's in there
Jungkook: well that is pretty cool. I'm more of a people person when it comes to my art
Tae: oh, so do you have plans to paint me like one of your French ladies?
[The both of them stop all movement and burst out laughing. They continue to talk and grow closer while they eat their food. After, they walk back to the apartment, they go ahead and say goodnight since its been a long day]
[The next day, Jimin and Jungkook were able to get more acquainted with each other. Jimin agreed that he approves of Jungkook and gave Tae a look that Jungkook was somewhat confused about. Since Jungkook had the same major as Tae, they had all the same classes coincidentally]
[At lunch]
Jimin: Jungkook, meet Hobi! Hobi, meet Jungkook!
Hobi: I'm actually Hoseok, but everyone usually calls me Hobi *sticks my hand out*
Jungkook: *shakes your hand and smiles* nice to meet you
Jimin: oh! He's the youngest out of all of us too
[Hobi's eyes widen at Jungkook and then they form into crescents when he smiles]
Hobi: geez Jimin, he's the youngest but he's taller than you
[That comment earned him and elbow in the stomach and a bubbly laugh from Tae who had been silently observing the whole interaction while playing a game on his phone]
Jimin: you guys bully me too much *pouts*
Tae: it's because we love you
Jimin: whatever. It seems like Jungkook is the only one that won't be mean to me. Right? *looks at him*
Jungkook: uh yeah *smiles to play along*
Jimin: *smiles* good choice
[While Jimin and Hobi start discussing what they should fix in their dance routines, Tae and Jungkook started their own conversation about whatever]
Jimin: oh snap, I completely forgot...
[Everyone looks at him]
Jimin: there's gonna be something going on tonight at that one club we go to all the time. They're supposed to be having like a neon theme so it'll be all glowy and stuff
Hobi: oh shoot, we can get everyone to come. And It can be like a welcome party for Jungkook
Jungkook: what? Really?
Hobi: well of course
Tae: you're one of us now *smiles at him*
Jungkook: *looks at Tae and smiles back*
Jimin: *calls my hands together* then it's settled! We're getting drunk tonight! And I'll let everyone else know
Hobi: you know you're gonna have to go directly to Yoongi's in order to convince him
Jimin: yeah, yeah I know which is why I'm actually gonna need YOU to text Namjoon and Jin *smiles and waves at everyone before running off*
Hobi: *shakes my head and pulls out my phone to call the other two* well, I'll see you guys later *gets up and leaves as well*
Jungkook: and then there were two
Tae: Yeah *chuckles* do you have anything to wear for tonight?
Jungkook: yeah, I'm sure I can find something. It wouldn't be the first time I've gone clubbing
Tae: well, I can't wait *smiles at him*
Jungkook: what about you? Do you know what you're gonna wear?
Tae: hmm, I have some ideas but I might ask Jimin for some help
Jungkook: well I'm sure whatever you wear, you'll look great in
[Taehyung tries his best to hide his blush but fails miserably. Luckily it goes unnoticed by Jungkook and they continue talking about whatever and getting to know each other throughout their next class and on the way home]
[Finally it's about time for everyone to be leaving. Hobi is waiting in the living room with Jungkook while Tae finishes getting ready]
Tae:
[Tae continues to look in the mirror and fixes his hair up to perfection or at least what he considers perfect. He pulled his hair back to expose his eyebrows and stole Jimin's leftover makeup to put just a little bit on his eyes. He had spent most of the day figuring out what he would wear and decided to go with a loose dress shirt with rolled upsleeves and some really skinny jeans. After he deemed himself okay to go, he snuck one last look in the mirror and thought to himself "hopefully he'll like it" before leaving the bathroom. In the meantime, Jungkook and Hoseok had been getting to know each other pretty well. Hoseok was the first to see Tae because of the way the couch was angled, Jungkook had his back to him.]
Hobi: Finally, look who decided to show up!
[Jungkook turned around and looked Tae up and down multiple times. No, he was not checking him out. Not at all. He was just...looking at how utterly mouthwatering he looked. After looking at him from top to bottom again, he locked eyes with Tae and nearly choked since he was also looking right back at him]
Jungkook:
Hobi: Come onnn *grabbing onto Tae's arm* let's goooo. You look amazing but now we're gonna be late meeting with everyone *taps Jungkook to get his attention* come on, chop chop outta here. It's time to party!
[Hoseok pushed both of them into the back of the car before driving off to the club. It was really weird and awkward. Jungkook hadn't said anything to Tae since he saw him and now Tae was getting anxious. Tae looked over only to find that Jungkook had his eyes glued to the window.]
Tae: *sighs*
[Before long, they're all standing outside the club with everyone and waiting to get in]
Yoongi: welcome to the group kid
Jin: hey, he's still an adult...
Yoongi: he's a kid to you also
Namjoon: *shakes my head and laughs* It's nice to meet you Jungkook .
Jungkook: nice to meet you too, um, so... Let me make sure I have it right. Jimin, Hoseok, Yoongi, Namjoon, Seokjin, and Tae...hyung...
Hobi: *smiles* Yup, you got it. Now you'll probably forget everyone's name including your own once you get the drinking
Jin: wait, he's old enough to drink?
Yoongi: yes, we already established that or did you forget because of your old age
Jin: yah! You're old too
Jimin: anywho~ let's go in guys *already pushing people along*
[Once everyone had gotten inside, Jimin was able to finess them a VIP section with unlimited drinks. Don't even ask how he did it. For the beginning of the night, Jin and Namjoon had been trying to get to know Jungkook a little bit better. Tae kept on looking at him and almost lost it when he realized what the younger was wearing: a white t-shirt (that turned into a highlighter yellow once they got into the club with all the cool lights) and probably the tightest black, leather skinny jeans he'd ever seen. When Jungkook had gotten up with Jimin and Hobi to go dance with them, that's when he got a much better look that was probably going to be the death of him. The pants were really tight and showed just how much muscle the guy had]
Tae:
Yoongi: you gonna keep staring at him like he's a snack?
Tae: *still staring at him on the dancefloor* he is a snack... *subconsciously my lips*
Jin: oh Lord...alright, tell us. How long did it take for you to get the hots for him?
Tae: *looks at them* instantly...or...maybe when he gave me a piggyback ride...
[The remaining three just look at each other and shake their heads]
Yoongi: well you better go after him before Jimin takes him
Tae: he's not gonna take him *sounding very adamant* but...
Namjoon: but...?
Tae: I don't know...I tried really hard on my outfit tonight and Jungkook didn't say anything about it...honestly he hasn't even said a word to me. And...I haven't said a word to him either...
Yoongi: wow...you two are that far ahead in the game where you can't even talk to each other now and compliment each other *shakes my head and makes a tsk sound*
Jin: hey, well if it makes you feel any better, I saw him looking at you a lot like you're looking at him right now
Tae: what? Really?...every time I looked at him, he looked away
Yoongi: well duh, because he didn't want you to catch him looking at you
[Tae makes an 'o' with his mouth]
Namjoon: just drink some more and go dance with him
Tae: *glances over at the three on the dance floor and nods before ordering multiple drinks for myself*
[Meanwhile, Jungkook had been getting more and more loose with each drink he down and with each step he took. He was starting to feel really good. Jimin and Hobi were killing it on the dancefloor and Jungkook's pretty sure he was too with all the eyes that were on him every time he moved. It wasn't until he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see Taehyung. From Taehyung's point of view, he could clearly see that Jungkook was pretty out of it. His cheeks were all red and rosy, but he seemed to still recognize him.]
Tae: hey...
Jungkook: *breathe out* Hey Tae...
Tae: *glances around and sees Jimin and Hobi are far enough away where they can't really hear anything* *smiles at him* um...so...
Jungkook: do you wanna dance with me?
Tae: um...sure...
Jungkook: *smiles* great
[Suddenly the music changes and it just so happens to be one of Tae's favorite songs]
Tae: *slightly yells into Jungkook's ear* This is my favorite song
Jungkook: Really? Mine too *smiles*
[They both dance together through their shared song and many more to come. As time went on, they were both really starting to feel the alcohol settling into their systems and found themselves dancing fairly close to each other. Suddenly, Jungkook gives Tae's lips a quick peck.]
Tae: *gives him a surprised look* what was that for?
Jungkook: S-sorry...
Tae: well I mean, you don't have to apologize
Jungkook: no, the kiss was my apology
Tae: *slightly confused*
Jungkook: I'm sorry I didn't say anything about how you looked tonight
Tae: oh... It's fine
Jungkook: *holds your hand* no, it's not and...you look...amazing by the way *smiles*
Tae: t-thanks...you look...really good too *smiles*
Jimin: Jungkook! Tae Tae! Come dance with us!
Jungkook: *looks at you* seems like we're being summoned
Tae: yeah its best we go now before he gets all fussy and throws a fit
Jungkook: *nods*
[The rest of the night is spent dancing and drinking with all of the guys with Jin as the exception. He was the designated driver and only drank water. By the end of the night, Yoongi had actually drank until he passed out, so Namjoon had to carry him. Hoseok was stuck having to babysit Jimin who was very, very tipsy and all over the place. Jungkook and Tae were clinging onto each other like they were newlyweds but also innocent little boys. Jin and Namjoon took care of Yoongi, while Hoseok went ahead and called an uber for him and the other three back to their dorm. Once they got home, Tae dragged Jungkook into his bedroom; leaving the semi-drunk Hobi with the and emotionally drunken Jimin who passed out soon after accidentally confessing to him.]
[Tae woke up the next morning to the smell of eggs and bacon which he knew was Hoseok's cooking. He also felt something warm brushing across his neck which was sending shivers through his body. Then, he finally recalls the night before and realizes that he and Jungkook slept together. Now the real question is did they sleep together or did they "sleep" together. Well...they're fully clothed from yesterday which means all they did was actually sleep. Bummer.]
Tae: *slowly maneuvers myself so I'm facing him* eek! You're awake?
Jungkook: *smiles* yeah, you were moving around and stuff
Tae: I just...wasn't expecting you to be staring at me like that
Jungkook: *shrugs and sits up* you look good in the morning
Tae: *looks away and smiles*
Jungkook: *gets up and starts heading to the door* you coming? I smell food
Tae: yeah *gets up as well and walks into the kitchen area with you*
Jimin: *squeals* Aw! Look at you two~ *gets up and hugs Tae*
Tae: *hugs you back* how are you feeling? You were pretty out of it last night
Jimin: I'm okay. I drank too much but I'm okay *pulls away and looks between the both of you* and...what about you two? *wiggles my eyebrows*
Hobi: ah Jimin, leave them alone. They didn't do anything last night. Now at least go get some plates, breakfast is ready
Jimin: *pouts and sticks my tongue out at him*
Jungkook: I'll help *goes over to the cabinets with the dishes and starts pulling some out*
Tae: *sits at the table with Jimin and watches*
Jimin: *nudges you and gives you a cheeky smile* So you guys really didn't do anything? What about on the dance floor? I saw you two
Tae: *glances at Jungkook in the kitchen and shakes my head* hmm...it's kinda hard for me to remember
Jimin: aw come on, you can't remember anything?
Tae: *shakes my head* nope
Jimin: you're just not telling me *pouts*
[Hobi and Jungkook come back to the table with plates of food. Jimin switches spots and sits next to Hobi so Jungkook and Tae can sit next to each other.]
Tae: ah, thanks for making us food Hobi
Hobi: eh, it was nothing. Come on and eat up
[For a few minutes it's silent at the table while everyone is eating, but of course Jungkook and Tae steal glances at each other every now and then. Jimin catches them but doesn't say anything]
Hobi: so, what's everyone's plans for this weekend? *glances between Tae and Jungkook* well...what are you two doing?
Tae: oh um...I have some art pieces I need to finish still
Jimin: oh yeah, aren't you showcasing some of your pieces at the university's art exhibit?
Tae: yeah, I still have two left to finish
Jungkook: there's an art exhibit happening?
Tae: yeah, its tomorrow. You can participate in the next one if you sign up
Jungkook: is everyone else going?
Hobi: I can't, I've got my own thing going on. Gonna be practicing all day for my recital
Jimin: *sighs* same~ I'm already tired thinking about it
Hobi: yeah, we've all got lots of work to do
Jungkook: oh... *looks back down at my food*
Jimin: hey Jungkookie~ you should keep Tae company
Jungkook: I- uh...*looks at Tae*
Tae: Jimin, he'll be bored. I'm literally gonna be painting all day
Jungkook: well...I'm also an artist so I can just sketch while you paint your pieces
Jimin: *claps his hands together* Then its settled! *smiles*
Tae: um...alright
[After eating breakfast, Hobi had left early to go back home and shower before heading to the dance studio. Jimin left to go start practicing as well which left Tae and Jungkook who were currently walking to the art studio. Jungkook was feeling a bit iffy about tagging along because it didn't seem like the older wanted him to come. They weren't really talking much and it was getting to be really awkward.]
Tae: *opens the door to the large studio and heads over to his corner* I'll be over here if you need anything
Jungkook: okay [He watches him go off into the corner to start painting. Jungkook sits in a chair near him, but not too close where it'll be a distraction and he starts sketching. He realized earlier that he may or may not get this opportunity again and decided that he would sketch Tae all day while he worked. If he hadn't already expressed it before, he really really liked Tae's face and thought he had the best profile, better than most people.]
[Hours and hours passed, filled with silence before Tae actually made a sound of frustration. Jungkook stopped sketching just in case he would notice. Tae had finished one of the paintings and started on another only to immediately scrap it and toss it on the ground. He sat for a few minutes in silence with his head in his hands.]
Jungkook: *gets up and goes over to him and places my hand on his shoulder* You okay?...
Tae: *looks up suddenly and slightly confused* Oh...I forgot you were here...
Jungkook: it's fine *kneels down next to you* but...you okay?
Tae: I...*looks over at the painting I scrapped on the ground* ...I need to do something different. All of my paintings are of different variations of flowers and different things in nature...and in different styles...and it all seems the same now. I don't want to paint them anymore...people won't like it
Jungkook: well, that's silly. I know people will like your work, whatever it is that you put out there too. I can understand that you want to do something different though
Tae: I just...I don't know what to do. The exhibit is tomorrow...and
Jungkook: paint me!
Tae: *looks at you* what?
Jungkook: ...um... [He didn't mean to say that...well, it was supposed to just stay within his thoughts. Right now, he didn't know what to do because Tae was staring at him like he was crazy or maybe he didn't actually hear him. Or...]
Tae: you want me to paint you?
Jungkook: I mean...it'd be different from what you usually do?
Tae: yeah, no kidding *chuckles*
Jungkook:
Tae: are you really willing to stay here for god knows how long so I can paint you?
Jungkook: wait, you'll actually do it?
Tae: yeah, but I have to make sure that you're okay with being a model for that long
Jungkook: I am *smiles*
Tae: *sighs of relief* okay...
Jungkook: so...how do you want me?
Tae: well I'm just gonna do your face so you can sit however you want *gets up and gets a blank canvas and sits back down*
Jungkook: *adjusts myself so I can sit comfortably* Are you gonna sketch me out first or...?
Tae: nah, I'm just gonna go straight into painting. Don't wanna take all your time away
Jungkook: well I'm spending my time with you so it's okay
Tae: *blushes while fumbling with the paintbrushes* *looks at you and sees you staring right back at me* uh...
Jungkook: did you...want me to look away?
Tae: no, no, right there is good. Just stay like that
Jungkook: *nods*
[Tae begins painting Jungkook's face and is convinced that the boy indeed looks like a beautiful piece of art. He finds it pretty easy to paint his face and making sure to compliment all of his handsome features. After awhile, he breaks from his concentration and decides it'd be better to talk to him and enjoy the experience. Every now and then, Tae would glance over and see Jungkook staring at him with a cheeky grin after he attempted to repeat some bad pickup lines which led to more giggles between the two. Before they knew it, Tae was done.]
Tae: *sits back in my seat and sighs* wow...
Jungkook: how do I look? *gets up and stretches a bit before looking at the painting* wow...*looks down at Tae* it's beautiful...
Tae: well, I guess you could say I had a pretty good model
Jungkook: seriously though, it's amazing. You're really talented
Tae: Thanks. I couldn't have done it without your help
Jungkook: of course, and I'd be hapoy to help anytime *smiles and almost leans in to kiss him but stops myself*
Tae: Ah, what time is it?
Jungkook: *snaps out of my daze and checks my phone* it's like a little after 10pm
Tae: okay, well...let's get something to eat
Jungkook: sounds good. You paying? *smiles*
Tae: yeah I'll pay *shakes my head and laughs*
[They go to the same diner Tae took Jungkook to his first night.]
Jungkook: what time does the exhibit start?
Tae: mmm...I think...it starts at three. But I need to be there at least two hours earlier so I can set my section up
Jungkook: ah okay. Well, I'll make sure to be there to help you
Tae: oh no, no, no. You really dont have to. You've helped me enou-
Jungkook: I want to...*smiles* it's okay, really. Plus I look pretty good on a canvas
Tae: yeah, you do *smiles and looks down at my food*
Jungkook: *eats the rest of my food content*
[With their bellies full, they head back to the dorm for the night]
Tae: *sees Jimin's shoes at the door* I guess he's back now
Jungkook: he's probably sleeping. It's almost midnight
Tae: really?
Jungkook: *nods*
Tae: okay well I'm gonna go to bed
Jungkook: okay, night hyung
Tae: *looks at him*
Jungkook: I mean...Tae *smiles*
Tae: u-um yeah, see you tomorrow. Thanks again for today
Jungkook: no problem *smiles* get some rest
Tae: *nods and heads off to my room*
[Tae had a very busy morning and was stressed out. Luckily, his new friend was able to help him out. He and Jungkook spent at least a good two hours framing all of Tae's paintings. There was a total of ten that he had done within the last couple of months, including the two he did the night before. It was now noon which meant that he had three hours before the exhibit started and at least an hour and a half to get his section prepared. He was beyond stressed because first off, this was actually happening. Second of all, he had ten of his own original works being showcased and representing the school. Lastly, he was really nervous that no one would like anything.]
Jungkook: well, now we gotta get them there right?
Tae: yeah. I got a couple of wagons that I stole from the theater department for them
Jungkook: you stole wagons from the theater department? *chuckles*
Tae: *goes over to a closet where two wagons roll out* Ta da~
Jungkook: that's actually kinda hilarious
Tae: yeah lets get them loaded up
Jungkook: aye, aye captain *smiles and salutes*
Tae: *smiles*
[They both load up the wagons and walk over to the auditorium the exhibit is taking place at. They spend about an hour figuring out exactly where Tae wants everything placed and how he wants it set up. Jungkook learned that Tae is a perfectionist and a picky person, or at least when it comes to his art, which is a trait that most artists have that can either make them or break them. When they finally finished, the clock showed that it was around 1:30]
Jungkook: *sits down on the ground next to Tae* you know...it looks really good
Tae: what?
Jungkook: *laughs* your paintings, silly. I like all of them a lot. Especially that one *points to the portrait of myself*
Tae: *laughs* of course, you'd like that one. It's your face, after all...
Jungkook: so I was thinking...after this, you and I go out
Tae: *looks at him*
Jungkook: you've been working hard all weekend and this has definitely been an accomplishment, so I think we should celebrate...together *looks over at him* do you wanna? I mean, we can just go out to dinner at one of the restaurants in the city or stay he-
Tae: no, no...um I mean...yeah, that would be nice. You really don't have to
Jungkook: eh, but I want to
Tae: you say that a lot...well to me at least
Jungkook: maybe it's because I have a lot of things I'd like to do with you *smiles*
Tae: *blushes and looks down* *fake coughs* well I have to um go and change. I gotta look a little bit nice
Jungkook: okay, try not to get lost
Tae: psh, I know this place better than you. Ill be back in a bit and you try not to wander off too far where you'll get lost
Jungkook: don't worry. I won't go anywhere
Tae: *nods and heads to the bathroom to change*
Jungkook: *gets up and wanders around to look at all of Tae's paintings and smiles*
[Eventually Tae comes back wearing a white dress shirt with a red, floral tie and some black slacks accompanied with some black dress shoes. It took Jungkook a minute to realize that he was officially staring at Tae. Tae obviously noticed and looked down while messing with his hair which laid down neatly without a strand of hair standing up. Jungkook could only mutter a "wow" which Tae heard and blushed even harder]
Jungkook: you look...
Tae: *looks up at him with hopeful eyes*
Jungkook: ...*checks him out one more time from head to toe* amazing... You clean up pretty dann well
Tae: *blushes and smiles* do I?
Jungkook: yeah, you do. Are you ready for this? It's a pretty big day for you
[Tae's smile falters]
Tae: *shakes his head* no...I'm so nervous...and I honestly feel like I'm a gonna fail at this somehow *rambling and rambling*
Jungkook: Hey...it's okay to be nervous but there's literally no way you can mess this up *smiles* and I'm just as proud of your work as you should be. It'll be fine, I believe in you
Tae: *pulls him into a hug* Thank you...
Jungkook: *hugs him back* No problem. It's gonna start soon so you should stop sulking *pulls away and bops his nose*
Tae: *smiles* well...how do I look?
Jungkook: like an artist that's ready to take over the world *smiles* and if you start to get nervous...well, I'll be here with you the whole time *takes your hand and squeezes it*
[Once the exhibit starts, Tae and Jungkook wait until some people show up to his section. All of a sudden, swarms of people come to his section to walk and around and look at his art. Lots of people are drawn to the picture of Jungkook and start whispering around when they see that he's here with Tae. Many people come up to the both of them and eventually they get separated from each other. After about three hours of talking to a bunch of strangers he didn't know, Jungkook was ready to get back to Tae. The last few people he talked to, dragged him around the art exhibit and away from Tae's section entirely and now he was lost]
Jungkook: *sighs* great...
Yoongi: you lost kid?
Jungkook: *turns around* oh Yoongi hyung...*greets him with a bow* yeah...kinda
Yoongi: want me to take you to him?
[Jungkook curses himself for having looked like a lost puppy who clearly wanted to go back to his owner. And in this case, Tae was his owner, while he was the lost puppy]
Jungkook: Yes please...
Yoongi: Eh, well come on *starts walking off in the direction Tae is in* so...I watched you two a lot when you were interacting and stuff...
Jungkook: you were?
Yoongi: yeah not in a weird way...well, I was just observing. But anyways, are you two a thing? Or trying to start a thing?
Jungkook: we're just friends...
Yoongi: you indirectly answered my question, that isn't what I asked though
Jungkook: *sighs* it's...complicated. We're trying to be friends but...it's kind of a thing? We haven't kissed or anything since yesterday or Friday? I don't remember
Yoongi: hmm...so you two are trying be a thing on the low? *smirks*
Jungkook: well, I mean...I don't know. I really, really like him. Even if we were to just be friends...
Yoongi: which wont happen...
Jungkook: yeah...if that were to happen though, he would be my closest friend and I would cherish his friendship a lot too
Yoongi: well, I wish you two the best of luck. I think you guys suit each other well
Jungkook: really?
Yoongi: yeah...and look, he definitely needs some saving from you *points over to Tae who is surrounded by lots of people from school*
Jungkook: damn...okay
Yoongi: good luck kid *pats his shoulder and leaves*
[Taehyung immediately spots Jungkook in the crowd and starts to make his way over to him with everyone still following him. Both of them squeeze their way through the crowd and the only thing Tae can see is Jungkook's, so he takes it and is immediately pulled through the crowd. Jungkook looks back occasionally to make sure that Tae's still behind him. After many excuse me's and sorry's, they make it to a quiet hallway that no one is really passing through]
Tae: *slumps down against the wall sighs*
Jungkook: *kneels down in front of him* you okay?
Tae: yeah...that was a lot of people. Too many voices in my head
Jungkook: I told you everyone was gonna like your work
Tae: they seem to especially like the picture I painted of you. You had a lot of people talking to you too
Jungkook: I ran into Yoongi after I got lost and then he took me back to you. You clearly needed some saving though
Tae: yeah, thank you for that *smiles and hugs you*
Jungkook: of course *hugs you back*
Tae: no, really, you have no idea how much this means to me. And I really missed you after we got separated
Jungkook: y-you did? *pulls away to look at you*
Tae: *nods* what do you say we get outta here?
Jungkook: but don't you have to stay until the end?
Tae: nope, and I really just wanna go now
Jungkook: okay, well then lets go
[Taehyung decided it'd be best if he left now because it was getting to be way too crowded and he was positive that he was gonna have an anxiety attack soon. So, they went with their previous plans with Jungkook treating him to a nice dinner as a celebration for what was accomplished this weekend and to further solidify their budding friendship. After that, they decided to get some fresh air and walk around the emptier part of campus. They talked and talked about whatever and decided to make a promise]
Tae: Promise me...that no matter what happens or comes our way, we'll stay together no matter what...friends or not
Jungkook: Promise. And promise me that if there's anything bothering you, you'll open up and tell me and ill do the same
Tae: Promise *smiles*
[They decide to keep it friendly and shake hands for now and let their future take them where it may]
