Boy In Luv | Taejin ✓

2. Let's date then!

Seokjin's P.O.V.

"Shit Seokjin, you're so dumb!" I whispered to myself as he took the sandwiches from me. Aigoo!! I managed to dodge from Taehyung but those guys are really gonna beat me up if I show up without their snacks.

I dropped to the floor and just cried to myself. I'm so dead. Fuck this life! Why did I have to run into Taehyung?!!

*******

Author-nim's P.O.V.

Jin decided to skip their first class and just wait after the recess is over then he'll go back to the classroom. He is now hiding behind a tree, looking cautiously if any of his bully classmates is wandering around. He's sure that they are looking for him by now.

When he saw that the coast was clear, he sat down at the beautiful green grass by the shade of the tree and leaned back at the huge trunk, staring up the sky.

He removed his eyeglasses to slightly wipe his eyes, still moist from his cry earlier. The leaves of the tree, slightly covering the blinding bright sky, looked so stunningly beautiful, Jin thought. The sun rays hitting his eyes are causing him to blink, fluttering his long eyelashes. And the sunshine just brought out the glow in Jin's light pink cheeks. How peaceful it is right now, he thought.

Not very far is a man seated on a bench, with his hands in his pockets, observing Jin with a deep gaze of his two seductive eyes. He has already seen him from the time he was hiding behind the tree, as if playing hide and seek with him.

"Is this nerd really that into me to follow me around, even skipped classes, just to find me here?" Taehyung murmured to himself.

"Why didn't I notice him tailing at me before? Maybe coz I was so into Jimin ever since." He's smiling while staring at the beautiful sight, "He's not too bad. Without his eyeglasses, his gorgeous eyes stand out. And he has a cute smile too." He said to himself.

Taehyung is quite amused at what he's seeing. Well, it wasn't the first time girls or boys swoon over him; but it's actually the first time he witnessed someone crying for him. He can still remember how that nerd dropped to the floor and sobbed as soon as he said he's not interested.

Jimin never shed a tear for him, same goes for him with Jimin, though he loved him genuinely. So, he finds it quite fascinating that one boy sincerely likes him to a point that he'll cry for him.

"Look who have we found here bro's!!" Namjoon clapping as he shouted to his friends for them to come and see.

Jin was shocked that the bullies found him. Now, he can't run anymore as the three guys gather around him. What can he do? He can't even scream to ask for help as he knows the other students are also afraid of this group.

Taehyung from a distance is staring at them in disbelief, "What are these three freaks bothering the nerd for?" he whispered to himself and click his tongue.

"Where are our snacks, huh loser??" Yoongi poked on Jin's forehead.

"S-sorry!! Taehyung took them from me. I w-wasn't able to do anything a-about it." Jin is trembling as he answered.

"Taehyung??" Jungkook's eyebrows creased as he stared down at him. Jin automatically felt butterflies in his stomach when their eyes met.

"Now you're using his name? You think we're gonna stop picking on you if you mention his name, huh?" Yoongi's about to slap Seokjin when a sharp stone hit his arm.

"Oucchh!! Who the fuck was that?!!" Yoongi shouted in pain as little amount of blood dripped from the sudden wound on his arm.

All of them turned and looked at Taehyung's direction – he's smirking while playing with two more stones on his hands, slightly tossing and catching them. "There's more from where that came from." He shouted back to them as he approached them under the shade of the tree.

"Taehyung? Is it really your hobby sticking your nose in other's business?" Jungkook said calmly.

"Nerdy here is my business. So, the three of you better leave and just go floss your ugly asses in the bathroom if you can't do anything good with your fucking life!" Taehyung said with gritted teeth.

Jin feels so tensed for what will break out in front of him, his tears are falling silently and he's biting his lips to suppress his nervousness.

Jungkook stepped forward looking straight at Taehyung with clenched fist; but Namjoon pulled his arm to stop him.

"Hey Kook, not here. We'll get expelled. Let him slide this time." Namjoon said.

Taehyung laughed sarcastically, "Let me slide? Haha as if! How about I'll let you all slide, as well as save your fathers' pathetic companies from going down?" They all just stared at him, Jungkook's eyes are firing with anger, but he can't say anything back.

"Now, while I'm still patient... LEAVE!!!!" Taehyung yelled.

"C'mon, let's go bro." Yoongi said pulling Jungkook as he spoke, "We're not done yet, Kim Taehyung."

Seokjin's P.O.V.

"Are you okay, nerdy?" Taehyung asked me.

My eyes widened as he stepped closer and wiped my tears with his handkerchief he just took out from his pocket. He patted the hankie on my face forcefully, what the hell, "Aww, aww!! Will you stop it! Give me that, I'll do it myself!"

This guy didn't know how to be gentle, no wonder he always picks up on fights.

I wiped my cheeks dry and blew my nose on the hankie loudly, I didn't care that much even if he looked at me disgusted.

"Thanks for this, I'll clean it first before giving it back to you." I bowed and kept the hankie in my pocket.

"Never mind, you can throw that away."

He then took my eyeglasses from my hand and put it on me. "There you go, you're not a complete nerd without that." Taehyung smiled at me after saying that.

I want to roll my eyes so badly but I know it'll be a death wish, so I just smiled. "Uhm, t-thank you for saving me from them." I bowed again which made him laugh so tiny.

"You're quite adorable, aren't you?" I know I am. But I didn't reply. I just bit into my lips as I noticed him staring down at them.

"You try and stay away from them, they're assholes," he added.

Isn't he one too? I know he's much more than those three combined. I'm still not uttering a word. I just couldn't believe I'm talking to him again. Are there any other students in this school that I can run into aside from jerks and assholes?

"Are you always like this, following me around to watch me?" Taehyung asked.

"Following you? Oh no, I wasn't doing that. Please don't thin..."

"It's fine, you don't have to get shy about it. I understand, that's infatuation after all, right?" I just nodded in agreement. Geez! I just want to get this over with.

"As I've said earlier, I'm still broken-hearted so I can't return your feelings yet. But then I thought, since you're so persistent, you deserve a chance."

What is he talking about? I don't need that chance, thanks but no thanks. Really.

He sighed deeply and what he said next just made my whole body turned stiff,

"Okay nerdy, let's date then."
