"do you mind?" yoongi asked as he placed his stuff on a desk next to hoseok.

"nope."

hoseok bit his lip nervously and looked away. ever since the party, whenever yoongi was around, hoseok instantly reminded himself of all the unholy things that happened that night.
weirdly, they never spoke about it ever again. it made hoseok wonder if yoongi even remembered what had happened.
yoongi was obviously upset since jimin left and it made hoseok feel uneasy. but yoongi and jimin were dating, of course yoongi would be upset... but did that mean hoseok meant nothing to neither jimin nor yoongi?
maybe they wanted hoseok for sex.
it was a strange feeling. for the first time hoseok felt unwanted... and used.

"where's namjoon?" yoongi asked, bringing hoseok out of his thoughts.

"he's probably late... according to jungkook's insta story he had one wild night..." he chuckled uncomfortably.
yoongi nodded and watched as kim seokjin, the history teacher, entered the class.

"alright, I'm too lazy to do roll call, who's absent today?" seokjin took out the class journal to mark the amount of absences.

"mina, jake and sooyeon are absent, sir." one of the students said.

seokjin looked around and furrowed his eyebrows.
"does anybody know where kim namjoon is?"

"he's going to be late today, sir." hoseok said quietly and received a nod.

"text him and tell him to hurry up, we have a test. if he doesn't come in ten minutes he'll have to stay after school today."

ten minutes passed... twenty... thirty...
and only ten minutes before the bell was supposed to ring namjoon bursted through the front door looking like a mess: his hair was messed up from running, partly wet after a morning shower, his tshirt was inside out and one of his bag's straps were torn.

"namjoon, namjoon..." seokjin tutted as he collected the finished tests from students. "go on, take a seat. and stay after the bell, please."

namjoon held his head in his hands, hoping it would somehow relieve his hangover headache. he couldn't think straight, but he knew he was in big trouble.
namjoon was an A+ student, he never skipped class or failed a test, but the more he hung out with jungkook, the more he let himself and his grades down.

the only reason his parents let namjoon live alone wasn't only because they were busy with their jobs in america, but also because they knew how responsible their child was, they trusted him, but now namjoon couldn't even trust himself. his parents knew jungkook as a nice kid, they didn't even think he'd be a bad influence.

"this is the third time."

"huh?" namjoon raised his head and was met with seokjin's stern gaze.

"this is the third time this week. you have history three times a week and you are late to each and one of my classes." seokjin explained. "you're capable of many things, kim, but your grades have been going down... a little, it's not tragic, of course. it's just...
namjoon, is something going on? I know you are dating jeon jungkook and I'm happy for you, but you're graduating this year... are you sure you'll be okay if you keep behaving this way?"

"I don't know, sir seokjin." namjoon exhaled and looked at the elder. "it's difficult to keep up a relationship and be an A+ student."

"take a day off today and I want you to think through your decisions, you're clever enough to make the right choice." seokjin smiled. he walked up to namjoon and patted his shoulder. "come to me after school tomorrow to write the test you missed."
