Third Day : Casual talk
Night School [Hiatus]But a few minutes later, he turned the curve in the path, he found him standing there kicking one stone.
Avoiding his gaze, Jungkook hastily passed by him without speaking to him.
- Jungkook, wait! - He could hear him running to catch up, but not turned.
When Taehyung reached him, he began to walk beside him, but back so Taehyung could see Jungkook's face.
- This is the following: it seems that i acted like and - he said.
- No crisis - Jungkook replied coldly. - At least you're aware of that.
He was surprised to hear Taehyung laugh.
- Okay, I deserve that attitude. Sorry I answered you poorly. It turns out that, for me, certain subjects are very .... Delicate. - With a clouded look, he kicked a stone out of the way.
Jungkook thought of Hojoon and how his disappearance had always been a delicate subject for him.
- No crisis bro - said then. - I was not even thinking about it.
- Really? - Asked Taehyung.
- Completely.
Visibly satisfied, Taehyung rolled on his heel and continued to walk beside him, now facing forward.
- So tell me, are you okay from last night? - Asked Taehyung.
Suprised, Jungkook looked at him.
- How do you know what happened last night?
- Here in Cimmeria, no one has secrets - Taehyung replied. - I heard that Suga got hurt from running in the dark.
Jungkook wondered how honest he should be. I wanted to talk to someone about what happened, but feared that Taehyung would make fun of him.
- It was scary - he admitted.
- What did you see exactly?
- Nothing - he answered - I mean, it was very dark. We just heard ...
He didn't know how to explain what he heard.
- What did you hear? - The expression in Taehyung's dark eyes was difficult to unravel.
- I heard something growling - Jungkook confided. - It sounded like a dog. But I also heard footsteps. Human steps. What do you think might have been? - asked after. - I mean, is there anyone here who has dogs? Some of the teachers and staff ...?
- Not dogs - Taehyung replied succinctly.
- Well, someone has a dog - grumbled Jungkook -. Otherwise there is someone here who growls.
Taehyung stopped so suddenly that Jungkook nearly collided with him.
- Want to know what I think? - Asked Taehyung. - I think some of the guys wanted to mess with you. Wanted to scare you.
For some reason, Jungkook didn't expect to hear that.
- Why? - he asked - It's a very stupid thing to do.
- Because they are kids - Taehyung replied. - And they're bored. And you're new here. They did it for fun.
Indeed, the idea of a group of guys making fun of him seemed plausible. Also left him hurt, but Jungkook tried not to show. While walking down the road, kept his eyes on the ground, swallowing the cost. But something in Taehyung's explanation didn't feel right. What about Suga? He was also there.
Reflecting on the subject, Jungkook concluded that there were only two possibilities: either the incident was nothing more than an game in which Jimin and Jin had taken part, or Taehyung was lying to him.
He looked at Taehyung and saw that he surreptitiously kept his gaze resolutely forward.
- I don't know if you know, but Jin and Jimin saved us - Jungkook commented casually. - Would they also be in the game?
Taehyung's expression darkened .
