The next day during Lunch, Nick sat next to Bogum, and not another word was spoken on the matter. It was an uneasy peace, where it felt as though the entire team was watching him. Nick felt like the team made it their mission to see that he was never out of sight. Mostly that fell to Bogum, who took to walking Nick to all of his classes, and holding him up after any practice until the students were all gone. In all honesty Nick found he enjoyed Bogum's company, but he didn't understand why anyone cared who he chose to be friends with, yet they did. Nick was no longer permitted to speak to Jungkook at all, so he merely had to sit from afar and watch Jungkook sit alone, brushing off any waves or gestures of affection.
"New boy." Bogum came up beside Nick as he always did. "How're we doing today?"
"Fine." Nick rolled his eyes. He had been hoping for a moment alone. "Listen, Im not going to break Taehyung's rules, you don't have to babysit me." Nick rolled his eyes. "You can go sit with your real friends."
"I'm not babysitting you. I wanted to talk to you." Bogum's brows furrowed. "I feel like you don't like me."
"I mean... I don't." Nick stated plainly. "I really don't like Taehyung, and you're just one of his sycophants."
"-"Bogum began, then stopped. "1
don't know what that word means.' "It means you're a follower." Nick spat. "But you don't even know me."
"Well-" Nick began.
"So does that make you judgmental?" Bogum prodded back.
"Bogum, I'm..." Nick turned, but couldn't bring himself to apologize. " suppose we both kinda suck then, don't we. "
"It's not so bad. You get used to it." Bogum smiled numbly. "See that girl?" Bogum pointed to a girl in a grey sweater.
"Yeah?"
"Asked her out yesterday." Bogum grinned.
"Really? And did you get shot down." Nick asked, noticing the pattern.
"Naw, I got her number." Bogum's smile grew impossibly wider. "We're going out, Saturday."
"That's amazing, Bogum... how come you told me first?"
"I'm nervous to tell the rest of the guys, in case it doesn't go well. " Bogum rubbed the back of his neck with his massive hand. Taehyung was taller than Bogum, but Bogum was bigger. He had more meat on his bones, and was more muscular as well. "Besides, I like you.
"But I just called you a syco... a follower."
"Ive been called worse. Besides, most people just call me stupid, at least you thought of a good word to use." Bogum chuckled.
"Who calls you stupid?"
"Taehyung, and all the guys. I think that's why they laugh at my stories so much.. you know, 'poor stupid Bogum always messing shit up' I guess I just roll with it most of the time, though. "Bogum explained.
