Stay l Taekook

26

I got to the school at a bit later than usual and walked through the halls that were filled with students. I went to my locker and found a tall boy glued to it.

"You're in my way, move" I flick him on the chest and tilt my head, waiting. I see him roll his eyes and slowly peel himself off my locker.

"Do you have rehearsals today?" Jungkook played with the padlock on the locker.

"Yep, it's costume rehearsals today. How about you?"

"We're showing the choreography to Mr. Yoo today. I'm so excited" I closed my locker and started walking side by side with him. 

We talked about the play and he told me all about how fun and hard the choreography was. He wasn't supposed to be in it but two students had gotten injured together so Haechan and Jungkook had been asked to replace them.

"We're here" I say and look inside the empty classroom. The bell rang and we looked at each other, I smiled and tiptoed to plant a kiss on his lips before going in.

When I sat down at my seat, Soojin appeared out of nowhere to ask me a million questions about the play. I had hoped to squeeze in a quick chat with Jungkook before the teacher arrived but Soojin took up all my time.

Mr. Jung came in and asked her to sit at her desk, I looked behind me and saw Jungkook was already looking. He winked, making me blush and turn around. I heard a small giggle which made me turn back around and glare at him. He offered me a simple "aw" showing my glare had no effect on him.

I turned back around and focused on the white board. Every time I would sneak a peek behind me Jungkook would blow me a kiss, wink or mouth something to make him blush. The time went by incredibly slow for my liking but eventually the bell rang and I ran out of class to go buy myself a bottle of ginger ale.

"Are you sure you two are a couple?" Namjoon slid in a few coins and pressed the water bottle button.

"What do you mean?" I look at him and open my own bottle.

"Relax, man. I'm just teasing you 'cause you're both hanging with friends instead of with each other"

"Oh, sorry" I chuckle awkwardly and play with my bottle. "You know I hate those couples that leave everyone behind when they find a someone. I'm not doing that" We made our way back to the classroom and waited in front of the door.

"So, all good with Jungkook?"

"Yep, I'm happy about our situation for now. How about you? Anyone in mind?" I look at my friend hoping to see a smile or a faint blush but nothing other than shaking head. "No one? Come on, dude. You're not going to have time next year, you know"

"I haven't found anyone yet and I'm not going to go out with someone just to go out with them. I want someone important to me, someone that means something"

"And there's no one now?" He shook his head no and took a sip of his water.

We stayed put until the bell rang. Jungkook walked by me and slightly pinched my waist making me squeal. Namjoon gave a jaded stare and I looked down, embarrassed. The rest of the day was spent normally, with lunch with Yoongi and P.E with his class as well.

I picked up my bag and walked to the theater room, I had rehearsals alone today and I felt kind of sad that I wouldn't be seeing Jungkook. I sat down and took out my phone, waiting for everyone to get here.

"You okay?" I shrugged without looking up but then I realized who that voice belonged to. "What are you doing here?" A huge smile was pulling at my lips when I saw Jungkook sitting next to me.

"I thought I'd come see you during your rehearsal" He swung his arm around my shoulder, bringing me closer to him.

"I'm glad you're here, I'm bored already"

"Damn, mister straight A student. You dare insult this play in which you're participating?" He mimicked making me smile even more.

"Shut up, I barely said anything. Besides, you're in it too" I playfully nudge him and look in front of me.

"I know, but only because I found out you were going to be in it and I wanted an excuse to spend more time with you" I opened my eyes wide and turned to look at him.

"Are you serious????"

"No, Hoseok dared me. But it would have been a very nice story, no?" I scoff and smack his arm. Hearing him giggle made me even more angry as I turned back to face forward. I could feel him tugging at my sleeve and arm but nothing could make me look at him.

I was in the middle of going through my lines in my head when I felt him stop tugging on my sides. I turn my head to the side and at that moment I feel his lips crash on mine.

"Gotcha" He smiles a bunny smile which was adorable and made it hard for me to stay mad. How did I get played like that?

We spent most of the rehearsal playing together in our little bubble, I had missed my cue way too many times for Wendy's liking who was threatening to lock Jungkook in the supply closet until the end of the day if I missed even one more cue.

Thankfully for Jungkook, I managed to stay focused and not miss anything else or even mess up a scene because I was busy making faces at my boyfriend. When Wendy yelled cut, I let go of the flowers I was holding in my hands and walked back to my seat, next to Jungkook.

"So, what now? Is it over?" He asked as he looked around at what everyone else was doing.

"Yep, I usually stay and help putting everything away though"

"Of course you do" I watch him roll his eyes and walk away to help Haechan and Jungwoo with some props.

I stayed behind for a while to take a few sips of water before going over to help the rest of the crew. It was already six thirty by the time we finished and Jungkook and I were on our way to the parking lot. 

We stopped in front of his bike as he took out the reflective bands and helmets. This morning, I had gone to school by foot for the first time since I had gotten my bicycle but it was all so that Jungkook could drive me back in the afternoon after class.

Just like always, he placed the helmet on my head with the utmost care. Once that was done, I watched him get on his bike before swaying my leg across the bike and holding onto him tight. Now that we were dating, I would no longer hold his shoulders but his waist and that simple actions had me blushing fifty shades of red.
