TAEHYUNG

    "Hey, Coffee Shop Boy."

I look up from the book in my lap to see Jungkook smiling as he made his way towards me. I look down, feeling embarrassed as I think about the way I behaved when I last talked to him.

    "It's a nice day, isn't it?" He asks, putting his backpack on the ground before sitting down next to me.

    "It is," I say looking up at him. "How's your day coming?"

    "It would be better if I'd seen you before now." He smiles. "But I guess it's been alright. You?"

    "It's been alright." I nod before looking back down at my book. I want to say something but I don't know what to say.

    "Are you mad at me?" Jungkook asks after a long silence.

    "No," I say, looking at him. I sigh as I close the book in my hands, shifting towards him on the bench. "I'm sorry I freaked out on you yesterday. I wasn't upset at you, I was just upset that Iseul was bothering me."

    "It's okay," Jungkook says. "I understand why ignoring him would've been best and I'm sorry I didn't listen to you when you said that it was fine."

    "Don't apologize," I say. "I was just worried because..."

    "What?" Jungkook asks after I trail off.

Of course I couldn't tell him the real reason I was worried. "Uhm...well I dealt with bullies at my old school and my mom made me transfer. I didn't want that to happen again, so I was trying to ignore Iseul until he got bored with me." It wasn't a lie, it just wasn't the whole truth.

    "I'm sorry you had to go through that, Tae," Jungkook says with a sympathetic smile. "And I'm sorry Iseul's giving you a hard time."

    "It's fine, it's not your fault," I shrug dismissively. "It is what it is, honestly. I can't do anything about it so there's no reason to dwell on it."

Jungkook nods but I can still tell he's thinking about something, or maybe he's just feeling sorry for me and doesn't know what to say.

    "But we're good," I say. "Right?"

    "Yeah, of course," He says, moving closer to me and taking my hand. "I'm glad we're good, I thought I'd ruined things."

    "No," I laugh. "It's gonna take a lot more to get rid of me."

    "Promise?" He asks, making me laugh softly. "What? I'm serious, promise you'll stick around."

    "I promise, okay?" I say tilting my head.

    "Good," He says. "Now kiss me."

    "Oh my god, Jungkook." I say looking up in embarrassment. "How are you so shameless?"

    "No one's ever gotten what they wanted by staying quiet." He smiles. "Plus I haven't seen you all day and we didn't hang out yesterday so we have to make up for lost time."

    "Fine," I say. "But I'm not going to keep giving away free kisses every time you ask."

    "Fine," He says rolling his eyes a little before leaning forward.

I close my eyes and try not to smile into the kiss, but it's hard when I can feel the smile on Jungkook's face. I pull away first, laughing shortly as that anxious feeling bubbles in my chest.

The buzzer sounds a few seconds later, making Jungkook groan as he pulls away as well.

    "There's not enough time in an hour," He says, grabbing his backpack.
