Jeongguk sent a hundred 'all the best' texts accompanied by two hundred heart emojis every morning and a sincere good night every night. They had been able to do nothing more than that with Taehyung's packed schedule.
Thus, it had been a surprise for Jeongguk to receive a call from Taehyung in the middle of his class.
His math class, to be more specific.
Jeongguk's eyes widened in a panic because he seemed to have forgotten to put his phone on silent before the class had started.
"Great, Jeongguk. I've been feeling fidgety for quite a while now. Thought students became all good all of a sudden," Mr Kim said.
Jeongguk rolled his eyes. He was more than halfway into his third year of high school. How did Mr Kim still find pleasure in bullying him?
Most importantly, how did he become one of Jeongguk's most favourite hyungs outside the school and also managed to maintain the same level of hatred inside it?
"I'm sorry, Mr Kim. I'll put it on silent," Jeongguk said even though he had already done it the second it rang.
"No, you don't have to. Who is it? It must be someone who doesn't know that you do something called attending a school, of course."
Again, Jeongguk barely stopped himself from rolling his eyes. Jeongyeon chuckled loudly next to him. And so did Yoongi. "It's his boyfriend, sir," they said together as if they had planned it beforehand.
Seriously, he couldn't wait to shoot his traitor of the best friends in their heads.
Jeongguk could swear he saw Mr Kim's expression change for a second. It was gone before he could register it and Mr Kim's proud expression was back before he could blink.
"Is it? That's interesting. Bring the phone here," he said.
'That sly fox,' Jeongguk thought.
What a way of trying to talk to his brother in the middle of the class without making it seem like he was doing something personal instead of teaching.
That sly fox.
Jeongguk grumbled under his breath but did what was asked of him.
He knew there was nothing prying of Mr Kim asking for Jeongguk's phone so that he could talk to Taehyung. He never did this with other students, after all. Just with Jeongguk and his 'brother'. Still, he grumbled with a sour expression that none of his classmates other than Mr Kim could see.
There was a silent incoming call from Taehyung by the time his phone was in Mr Kim's hand and this time, Mr Kim visibly frowned. He didn't bother righting his expression until he answered the call and brought it to his ear.
"Hello? Mr Jeon Jeongguk's boyfriend?" he greeted with a small smirk.
Jeongguk could totally imagine Taehyung's confusion over hearing his brother's voice from his boyfriend's call and it made him chuckle internally.
"I hope you know that your boyfriend attends something called a school where he has something called a class. And he does something called learning in a class, though I'm not really sure about that last part. At least, I hope he does. Anyways, the point is that you can't call him randomly like this and disturb his already poor concentration."
Jeongguk visibly rolled his eyes this time while his classmates laughed. He was sure another video was being taken, but he couldn't give a goose's shit about it. There was no more life-changing thing that could happen if this video was uploaded onto the school's website, after all.
