Stay l Taekook

"Everyone! The dance is this Saturday, which means today is the last day to rehearse. Here's what we're going to do, each group is going to perform their song and every member will give feedback. My group will start" Taeyong dismissed everyone and connected his computer to the sound system.

The song started and the four students started rapping. Even though they had made some changes, the song was still the same as last time Taehyung heard it. He tapped my foot to the beat and nodded his head. Everyone clapped when they finished and started giving their output. Most of the comments were positive and a few suggested a few changes that could maybe be done.

Each group went by one by one. Taehyung's favorite had to be either Jungkook and Yuqi or Doyoung, Jacob and Sangyeong. Once everyone had finished, each group got together to discuss things to change or add to their performance. Yuqi had asked Taehyung to help them with the feedback they had gotten but most of the comments had been positive.

At around six thirty, the students started going home. Tomorrow was Friday but the majority of the members already had activities planned of Fridays which is why the club would rarely gather on that day. Taehyung closed his bagpack but left on the chair and made his way to his friends.

"Hey, you ready to go?" On the days where Taehyung didn't close up, he would leave with Yoongi and Namjoon and the guys would usually hang at his house or Yoongi's since his parents usually weren't here.

"My parents are both out of town for the weekend, they leave tomorrow" Yoongi explained. "So i thought we could all stay there Saturday. You know, after the dance?"

"Totally. Thank, man" Taehyung smiled and walked towards the door with his friends. "By the way I can't go tonight. I promised my mom I'd cook dinner this time and I still haven't gone grocery shopping." The brunette didn't like lying but he couldn't tell them the real reason why he wasn't going.

"Alright, see you tomorrow, then?" Namjoon waved goodbye and swung his arm around Yoongi's shoulders.

Taehyung watched them leave and turned around. Taeyong, Mark, Winter and Daniel were still here as well as Jungkook. He tried to look busy as he waited for the others to leave. At first, he thought he'd go straight to where the ravenette was but he didn't want people to ask question. Well, more like he knew Jungkook wouldn't like it.

About ten minutes later, only Taeyong was left. He was finishing up setting the place in order and hadn't noticed the two students were still here.

"You know you don't have to lock up today, right? I mean, we're all done already, you can go home" He said when he sat down next to the brunette.

"Yeah, I just wanted to practice my singing a bit. So, I wondered if I could stay behind?" Taehyung had already used the studio to practice his singing a few times so it didn't shock the elder when he said that.

"Sure, just make sure you turn off all the equipment once you're done" Taeyong smiled and handed him the keys. He bid goodbye to Jungkook who was fumbling through his bag and left.

Taehyung waited for the doors to close again and a few seconds more before taking out his sketchbook. He didn't want to feel like some intense weirdo, so he stayed put and waited for Jungkook to come over to him.

Taehyung's P.O.V

After about five minutes, I finally see a tall silhouette appear before me. I look up and see Jungkook wore a jaded expression, this was going to be fun.

"Where do you want me?" He mumbled.

"Just sit wherever you want and how you want" I answer. I watch him sit down on a bench like surface we had and rest his body on top of one elbow. His head went to lay on top of his closed fist. I take a good look at him and start drawing the basics.

In the silence the only thing that could be heard were the multiple traces of my pencil rubbing against the paper. I took this opportunity to really get a good look at his incredible features. I'd never get tired of looking at him, the boy was truly breathtaking.

I knew the drawing would take me about three sessions to finish and I hoped Jungkook wouldn't get tired of posing until then. I knew he felt forced because I knew he secret, but I was never going to tell anyone. Even if I hated the guy, it wasn't something I'd do.

"When did you start drawing?" He asked me out of the blue.

"I'm busy, I can't talk and draw at the same time" I mumble.

"But I'm bored. We've been sitting here in silence for fifteen minutes" He ended up being the one talking. He told me that he had started singing when he was in elementary school and his class had to do a singing activity for Mother's Day.

Eventually, he kept on practicing due to all the praises he had gotten. Once he had gotten comfortable with singing, he had tried rapping and since he found himself to be good at it, he eventually picked up a guitar to learn how to write songs.

Once all of these were mastered, he learned piano with the help of a girl friend he had in his old school. Apparently, he was a member of the music club there as well. It felt weird listening to Jungkook talk about his life and his childhood. The boy had told me so many times that they wouldn't be friends, but this made it hard to believe.

I had so many questions for him, but I never asked any. First of all, I was busy and second, I was scared he'd stop talking if I opened my mouth. Hearing him talk about himself made him sound so much more human than the picture of him I had in mind. It was weird.

"Alright, let's stop here" I put down my pencil and closed my sketchbook.

"Can I see?" He made grabby hands towards my book, but I snatched it away before he could grab it.

"Not until it's finished" 

He rolled his eyes but stepped away. 

I put away the sketchbook and pencils and close my bag. I look at him do the same and wait for him to be done before making my way to the door. He turned off the lights and exited the classroom as I locked it.

"So, do you already know who you're taking to the dance?" I ask as we walk side by side towards the parking lot.

"I'm going solo. How about you?" I didn't expect him to answer so I was a bit taken aback when he asked for me too.

"Same. I don't want to be tied to someone the entire evening" He opens the door and we make our way across the parking lot. There was only my car and his bike in the entire lot.

"See you tomorrow, I guess" I say as I take out my car keys.

"Yeah, goodnight" He nodded in my direction as a goodbye and walked away. I opened my door and heard his bike turn on. I looked to my left and saw him riding his bike out of the parking lot. I had to admit, he looked insanely hot with his helmet, riding his expensive bike.

I sighed and got in my car. The next few nights were bound to be very interesting.
