章7

【 Jungkook 】

Only a week had passed ever since your plan to avoid your probe officially took action, and while you had felt confident and determined about making it work at first— life sure seemed to have entirely different plans in mind for you.

Now that you had come to know what he looks like, the more days that passed by, the more you found yourself realizing just how much your paths actually crossed each other. And in a way, it was almost surprising how you hadn't noticed him sooner but seems luck was at least on your side a tad bit... Right?

A tired sigh escaped your lips as you slowly walked into the lecture hall and found yourself an empty seat in the back; it was surprising (or not so) how much energy it drained to constantly be on alert and attempt to avoid someone that seemingly was around every damn corner of this huge university.

Heck you came here to study, yet somehow it feels like you've begun shooting a one-man spy show, except it's just very poorly directed...

Your gaze slowly scanned the lecture hall as you waited for the lecture to start, head rested against the palm of your hand while you slowly twirled your pen with the other. Even though lectures were long and often very tiring, nowadays it seemed to be the only place at Uni where you could temporarily drop your guard and relax a little bit

However, your breath hitched in utter disbelief when your eyes slowly happened to trail to a figure that had just entered the lecture hall, and you couldn't help but let out a soft ''No way...'' under your breath as his name was called out

Student: Taehyung-ah over here, we saved you a seat!

Soft mumbled curses left your lips whilst the said male made his way over to his friend— so you lowered your head and swiftly pulled the hood of your shirt up, unsure whether you even dared to raise your head or not in the fear of accidentally making eye contact once again

Jungkook: You're kidding...

In an attempt to look less awkward given your current position, you proceeded to pick up your phone and go over to Hoseoks contact; knowing Yoongi was busy attending an important lecture right about now which you wouldn't want to distrub— nonetheless, you began to message Hoseok in the hopes of distracting yourself a little from your current anxious state caused by a certain male

Even though you barely got to chat with Hoseok before the professor had walked into the lecture hall— starting the lecture, you still felt a little calmer after having been able to distract yourself for even just a moment. Though your eyes eventually slowly found themselves trailing over to the seats in the very front row where the guy and his friends were; resting your chin against the palm of your hand as a soft hum left your lips

...So his name is Taehyung?

All your attention still seemed to unwillingly get drawn over towards the male whether you liked it or not, as your mind busied itself with trying to figure out how he attending this lecture in the first place— rather than paying attention to the lecture which you actually should be doing right now

Considering this class was only available to take for people in the photography & videography major or as an extra credits class for those in the art major, it could only mean he was a part of either of the two.

Neither of those options seemed to help ease your mind one bit though as it inevitably would mean you were going to have an even harder time avoiding him from now on, a very faint and breathy laugh escaped your lips as you shook your head slowly.

Life sure seems to love playing games with you right now, though there's no way it could get harder than this—— Once the professor finished his teaching for today, he turned towards the whiteboard where he began to write something down; eventually turning back to face the class as he spoke up calmly

Professor: For this week's assignment I want you to make a short film which portrays a message without the need for words, I'll leave the concept and the message you want to portray up to you so just make sure to follow my one request to the best of your abilities. It may seem simple at first, but you'll come to find creating an impact and understanding without words is far harder than some think. This assignment is due Friday, which is why you will begin working on it today.

All students including you simultaneously let out audible displeased whines after hearing how soon its due— one student uttering out a ''But professor there's no way we'll complete this all alone in such a short time'' which earned a pleased smile from the professor as he gestured towards a box on his desk

Professor: Which is why you will all get yourself a pair with the help of this box here, come grab yourself one note and head back to your seat.

Though no one seemed particularly keen on the fact that this turned out to be a pair assignment, you all still did as you were told and one by one proceeded to head on over grabbing yourselves a note from the box before heading back to your seats. And once everyone had their notes in hand, you opened them to reveal a number while the professor began to one by one check who got paired with who whilst noting them down

Professor: Those who got number 7, raise your hands

You glanced down at the number on your note before hesitantly raising your hand— and to your horror, you felt your heart drop in utter disbelief once again after seeing who else had raised their hand

Remember how you thought it couldn't get any harder?
Yeah... Never mind, it just did.

Professor: Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook you're a pair. Okay now everyone should have their pairs so get together and start planning, and don't forget the deadline! Class dismissed.

You couldn't help but mumble out a soft yet bitter ''You have got to be kidding me...'' as you packed up your things while Taehyung made his way over to you and sat down in the seat next to yours

Taehyung: So guess we're doing this together huh? The names Kim Taehyung as you already know, I heard we share the same major so I look forward to seeing what we can come up with

He flashed you a friendly smile, and you kept your head lowered as you nodded lightly while trying your best to not show just how much you were internally panicking over it all

Jungkook: Likewise sunbae...

Taehyung: Hey so can we head over to the cafeteria and start planning things there? I could really use a coffee right now

A barely audible ''I could use more than a coffee right now...'' left your lips, before you nodded slowly once again while nervously fidgeting with your hands

Jungkook: Sure let's do that... We should start off by coming up with the message we want to portray, and then brainstorm some ideas on how we'd make it so we don't jump into the project blindly.

Taehyung: Sounds like a plan, let's go

- And so it begins.
