Pretty Boy | Taekook

Chapter 1

Having finished all his classes for the morning, Jungkook makes his way to the cafeteria for lunch knowing his friends will be waiting for him. He walks through the corridors, hand holding onto the strap of his backpack, smiling at his peers as he passes by. He's always found everyone at his school so friendly and approachable. Even on his first day he found himself surrounded by smiling faces of people wanting to learn more about him. He'd never experienced something like this before. Sure people were nice in middle school (less so elementary school), but never to this extent. He wasn't sure what exactly changed over that summer, but he certainly appreciates it. He gets stopped by various people on his way into the cafeteria asking how his weekend was and complimenting his longer hair. He really likes Bangtan high.

Eventually he's able to pry himself away from a couple of chatty junior girls and sits down with his friends ready to chow down on the gimbap his mother made for him over the weekend.

"Hey wait! Don't start eating until you've tried this!" Jin shouts as he shoves a tupperware of spring rolls in his direction. "I made them before school and so far I've heard nothing but good things, so I'm expecting the same reaction from you" Jin states with a smirk.

"Ow man. How the hell do you find the time for this?" Jungkook says while reaching out and stuffing a spring roll in his mouth in one go. "Wow you've done it again" he says with puffy, full cheeks while giving Jin heart eyes.

"Pfft what can I say I need to constantly practise to keep up this fine art" Jin states spreading his thumb and index finger below his chin and giving a cool guy pose.

"Man your such a simp. Imagine having to cook to get girls to like you. That's a level of effort I will never put myself through" Hobi says with a smirk.

"Says the man who practically runs a burlesque show every term in the hopes it'll ride out his popularity for a few weeks" Yoongi says while giving him a slap on the head.

"This is cheap from all of you when all I have to do it look at someone and they're on their knees. Not performance planning or cooking. Just these natural features" Jimin says while motioning to his face.

"God you all act like damn Casanovas when the truth is your barely scoring a girl a week. Those stats are poor. I think you all need a lesson from me" Taehyung states with a smirk.

"Sure. Sure. But we all know that at this point you've made your way through so many girls that the ones you've been going for recently have been 6s at best. Its not impressive if they aren't at least 9s" Namjoon states.

"This whole 9 vs 6 discourse doesn't matter because as far as I'm concerned as long as they have a pussy I'm interested. Just need to do it from the back so you don't need to look at their face while you do it" Taehyung smirks. "Wouldn't wanna turn myself off would I".

This has the whole group in tears of laughter while Jungkook yet again finds himself uncomfortable in a conversation with his oldest friends.

He checks his phone in the hopes he won't get dragged into the conversation and sees a message from Lisa. The two of them got particularly close recently as they both find themselves bored at parties with their friends off shagging around. They bonded over their lack of interest in these sorts of things, with Lisa who has a secret nerd boyfriend who never wants to go to parties and Jungkook who likes to keep a metre distance of anyone trying to get it on with him. They've created a very close friendship which has helped to distract himself from drifting apart from his closest friends.

"I can see clearly from across the room that you're yet again struggling with daily shagger chat" the message from Lisa reads.

"Yeah. Trying not to spew. It really reeks of misogyny"

"Man I wanna go over there and beat their asses"

"Feel free, they'd probably enjoy it. Dominatrix and all that"

"God don't get started on that or else I'll be joining you in the spewing"

They both look up and laugh together across the room.

"Yo JK?! JK!"

Suddenly Jungkook looks up at Hobi who was just shouting his name, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

"Ye-yeah" Jungkook stutters, feeling flustered.

"Man we were just talking about how you have the best game out of all of us. Even walking into this room you had like 6 different girls approach you. I really need to know how you do it!"

"Uh-uh mmm I'm not sure... I don't think they were really approaching me with any intentions, people are just pretty friendly. I really wouldn't look into it" Jungkook says with an awkward smile. "If anything I should be getting tips from you guys, you have a lot more going on than me".

"Hah trying to act modest I see" Yoongi says, giving him a wink.

"No I'm being serious!" Jungkook pleads.

"Pah you really want us to believe that when your sat here giving eyes to Lisa across the room" Taehyung says with a knowing smirk, staring right into his eyes.

"Unsurprising, your always chatting to her at parties. Didn't think you'd settle down this easily. To be fair I understand. Lisa is a wild horse to be tamed. Has barely even looked at any of us but will of course happily go for you" Hobi states "Damn I'm so jealous".

Jungkook is bewildered. He didn't think they'd just run with this. He pleads with them that they have the wrong idea and him and Lisa are just friends (without outing her relationship), but they still don't believe him. They're all looking at him with humoured smiles, patting him on the back with praise. He turns to Taehyung in the hope of using their friend telepathy to get him to back up his story, but he's just smirking at him with a dull gaze. Jungkook feels helpless. He gives up as he knows there's no use in trying. He'll just have to apologise to Lisa later for the misunderstanding.
