Family of Four

Stone Cold Glare

I will be completely honest with you: I think Taehyung and Jungkook's relationship is super rushed. So to fix this, I'm adding this chapter to add a bit more substance to it. I'll edit a few dates in post to make sure everything lines up, but I'm just not very satisfied with it right now. So in the meantime, please enjoy JK's suffering :D

Taehyung was...interesting. That was the best way Jungkook could describe him. On the outside he seemed so cold and distant. Despite only being a sophomore, students from all grades moved out of the way as Taehyung made his way through the halls and if they didn't, one glance would put them in their place. Jungkook had several classes with him and while first period was the only one where they sat together, he was still able to observe him from afar. Taehyung would show up late, put his feet on the desk and would even sleep through a few lessons. It was like he didn't have a care in the world. Jimin had told him that Taehyung had rejected every girl who confessed to him and the words heartbreaker and rude got tossed around quite a bit.

Yet when they spoke with one another, it was a completely different story. Despite Taehyung's icey demeanour, whenever he and Jungkook were together it was like hanging out with a puppy. The older student would blurt out whatever random thoughts he had on his mind while keeping a straight face no matter how odd his rambles were. He'd get excited over little things and would beg Jungkook to sit outside with him for lunch because he couldn't stand being indoors all day. It was strange in a rather endearing way.

You could even say Jungkook found it cute, something he didn't expect to think after such little time. Yet somehow Taehyung managed to weave his way into the freshman's thoughts after only a few days of interaction.

Once again, Jungkook was waiting in first period. Hoseok had turned his chair around and was busy chatting to him about something, most likely Yoongi, Jungkook wasn't necessarily listening since he was doodling in his workbook. As the teacher scribbled across the board, mouthing off about her subject, Jungkook was wondering about the empty seat beside him. "Hey," whispered Hoseok to snap that freshman out of his thoughts. "Were you listening to me?"

"Hmm? Oh...no. Sorry Hobi, could you repeat yourself?" The red-head smiled at him.

"Don't worry about it. Like I was saying, Yoongi does this adorable pout whenever he doesn't-" Hoseok stopped himself mid-sentence when he noticed that Jungkook had instantly spaced out yet again. He sighed before tilting his head to see what the brunette was even drawing. It was then that Jungkook finally took notice and slammed his book shut with a bright blush creeping across his face. Unfortunately for him, Hoseok had already seen.

"Those are some nice sketches Kookie, I'm sure Taehyung would appreciate them very much." He teased. Had it not been for the teacher, Jungkook would have hit him across the head right then and there. Instead he simply covered his face to hide his embarrassment. Not a moment later the very muse he was drawing strutted in, earning his usual warm welcome from his teacher.

"Taehyung!" She groaned.

"Mrs Park," the student greeted nonchalantly. As Taehyung made his way to his seat, there was a slew of glances, glares and winks thrown his way. All of which he ignored as he focused his eyes on Jungkook. The freshman felt himself melting under the other students gaze and quickly scrambled to get his notebook and things together to distract himself.

"Hey bunny," grinned Taehyung once he reached his seat. Jungkook couldn't help but smile back, pushing his hair behind his ear before focusing back on the teacher.

"Honestly Taehyung, you could be such a good student. I have no clue why you choose not to try." Taehyung didn't hesitate to roll his eyes at this statement which caused the teacher to scoff and continue with more intensity. "I mean it! All the work you turn in is excellent, if you even bother to turn it in at all that is. Learn to take some responsibility because you won't be able to coast like this forever!"
