Falling For You

48 | under arrest

Time flew by quickly. There was now one more day till Jungkook's big game, and everyone was excited about it. Jungkook could not believe his last game was tomorrow. A basketball tournament is a massive event at the college, and everyone wears the team's colours.

People were excited to see who got to wear the basketball players' jackets, the food, the music and everyone having a great time. After getting the win was one of the best moments, as they had a mini after party.

It sucked going to the after-party when you lost the game of the year. They have only experienced that once and from the day they experienced it, they said never again.

They were both at school, walking down the hallway hand in hand.

"Can't believe this time next week we graduate, " Taehyung whispered, looking around the hallway that gave him so many bad and good memories.

"I know. I don't know how to feel about it. Half of me is sad, but then half of me feels like I have changed, I love basketball, but my views on life have changed a little," He whispered.

"What changed?" Taehyung questioned.

"Honestly, Ara", Jungkook smiled. Just mentioning her made him feel so proud.

"Ever since she came into our lives, I have truly been so happy. I love being a father to her. If anything, basketball will always be my passion, but I don't know if I want to continue playing."

"I wanna teach students how to play, maybe be a coach. Basketball saved Harry and a lot of the other boys on the team. It gave them a purpose and kept them out of trouble."

"I want others to have that net as well", The raven whispered.

"I think that would be the perfect thing for you."

"Can I ask you something?" Jungkook asked, lingering eyes wandering over to the younger, who nodded. Once they were in a corridor where no students were walking down, he started talking.

"It is not a big deal, but you know how the basketball team gets their partners to wear their jackets?" The brunette nodded, paying close attention to his boyfriend, who looked a little nervous.

"Well, I wanted you to wear mine. Only if you want to, of course."

Taehyung cupped the taller's cheeks, squishing them together as he said.

"You're so cute. I would love to," he whispered. He knew it was important to Jungkook even when he said it was not a big deal. Giggling slightly when the basketball player let out a sigh in relief.

"Your silly for even thinking I would say no", Taehyung said, leaning against the locker as Jungkook chuckled— stepping closer to the male.

"I love you", He whispered, pecking the male's lips a few times before pulling away.

"I love you more", Taehyung replied back, meeting his lips in the middle as they passionately kissed.

The brunette chuckled slightly against his lips, moving back when he watched a student walk past.

"We can't kiss like that here", he blushed, hitting his boyfriend's chest, who smirked.

"I don't care," he said, about to lean in when he got pulled back.

"Geez, Kook, I did not even see Taehyung. Thought you were kissing someone else, was about to beat you up" Ryan's loud voice came from behind him, causing him to turn around with a smile.

"You legit hide Taehyung behind your body."

Taehyung giggled, smiling when he was pulled into a hug by Ryan.

"Missed you. I am glad you're okay. Have they found out who did it?"

Taehyung shook his head against Ryan's shoulder.

"I wanna kill whoever was a part of it" Many people did. They both hoped they would figure out who hurt him, who tried to kill him— who could have killed him.

"I better head to class. See you guys at lunch," Taehyung said, waving before he walked down the hall to head to his class.

"Sorry, was that too much?" Ryan pouted, feeling bad that he upset Taehyung.

"No, no. I think he just does not like the thought that the people who did that to him could be walking past him or talking to him. It scares him," Jungkook stated as they both walked towards their class.

"Do you have any clue on who it could be?"

"I did think of Benjamin, but if he did do this, that is his whole career gone. Just for a girl?. I don't think he is that stupid," Jungkook admitted, pushing open the classroom door.

"I can't think of anyone who could physically hurt someone that badly. Taehyung is lucky that he can even walk," Ryan whispered.

"We saw what he was like when we found him, whoever it was— I hope they get jail time", he muttered, hand clenched to a fist. Just thinking about it gets him angry.

"Okay, class, everyone, sit down. We have our last test of the year!" The teacher came into the room, shouting in excitement.

Taehyung had his head down, focusing on every question on the test— only to get confused and irritated. He let out a soft sigh, writing down a few answers. The class was silent. The basketball players who were not taking the test seriously could hear a few chuckles.

The brunette looked up to see Eun and Boram passing each other notes while chuckling. He rolled his eyes and looked back down at his paper, only to shortly after looking to the front of the class when the door opened, and officers walked in.

All the students started whispering, looking at each other with excitement and nervousness. The two officers walked toward the teacher and quietly whispered two things to her. Taehyung gulped when they made eye contact.

The officers walked toward the students, standing in front of Eun and Boram with cuffs in their hands.

"Eun, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Kim Taehyung, whatever-" The officer's voice started to get blurry as his eyes shifted towards Boram, also getting handcuffed. His eyesight got blurry. His throat started to sting— he was finding it hard to breathe.

Mrs Garrett quickly noticed that after the officers left, she saw the students stare at him. She walked over to Taehyung, helped him stand, and took him out of the classroom, taking his bag and test with him.

"Let's go to the classroom that you and Jiu sit in. You can do your test there. I wish I could give you more time, but It is not up to me. Take as much time as you need. The best I can do is give you to the end of the day," She whispered, walking with him to the classroom.

"I know what happened would come as a shock" Mrs Garrett sat next to him on the couch as she watched a tear slide down the male's cheek.

"I j-just can't believe they were trying to k-kill me and to think they would get away with it. W-what did I do so wrong for people to want me d-dead" Taehyung stuttered, hand covering his mouth as he shut his eyes.

He felt deeply hurt. Half of him felt like maybe it could be Eun who was a part of it all, but he did not want to think that. He could never understand why someone would want to hurt anyone to that extent.

"There is something wrong with them, hun, not you. I have to go back to the class. I will come to check on you later," She whispered, patting his back softly as Taehyung gave a small smile and nodded.

The whole class shot their heads towards the door when it was opened loudly. Officers walked in and spoke to the teacher before walking toward the students.

"Benjamin, your under arrest for the attempted murder of Kim Taehyung"

"Jake, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Kim Taehyung."

"Jamie, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Kim Taehyung."

Jungkook's lips parted in shock. He shot his head towards Ryan, who was just as shocked as him.
