Jungkook stepped out of the office and took a deep breath. What has just happened? What was this conversation even? He was one word away from confessing to the counselor, and only the fact that he was Taehyung's brother stopped him from doing so. That was beyond crazy. It was nothing like a regular Wednesday.
For a second he regrated that he left the counselor's office so quickly. Maybe it was wrong not to tell him? But if the topic wasn't easy for Jungkook, a complete stranger to Taehyung, then it would be even worse for a brother, an actual family member, to hear about his turmoil. Jungkook didn't know what kind of relationship or brotherly bond they had, but he was sure it could be significantly affected once Seokjin learns about the latest events.
That is why for now the decision belonged to Taehyung. Though Jungkook knew that the moment the boy starts acting suspicious again, he would come to the counselors in no time at all.
JK ran his hand through his hair. He must have looked terrible, considering he had rushed out of the apartment in under a minute and only brought a sports bag with him. Luckily, half of his textbooks were in his locker, but the school and classes didn't seem to matter to him right now. He needed to take a break but he had no idea how to do that.
How to clear his mind when all he could think about was Taehyung? Gosh, he hated him. After telling Jimin how much he wasn't interested in the boy's life and his walking perfection persona, now he couldn't let him go from his mind. He cared.
"What an irony, huh?"Jungkook chuckled and couldn't help but shook his head in disbelief.
He felt a strong need for some fresh air. He doubted it would help but it was the best shot he got to bring back a regular heartbeat and breathing. The patio was too risky to go so he decided to head to the parking lot—the chances of being caught by a teacher were significantly lower there.
JK took a first step and turned left into the hall just next to the teacher's office when suddenly he felt someone grabbing him by the shirt and dragging him to the corner. Before he could react, he found himself being pinned against the lockers. Only then did he realize it was Taehyung who dared to do so.
"Did you tell him?" he asked in a hush but demanding tone.
When the first shock wore off, Jungkook finally took a good measure of the situation he got himself in. Taehyung was still holding his wrist and glaring at him expectantly, just as if JK was caught red-handed doing something mortally wrong. And Jungkook felt pretty much uncomfortable being treated like that. He liked his personal space so he hated being ordered around, tugged, pushed, or pinned down. Taehyung managed to do all these things only in the last twelve hours but taking into consideration what the boy was going through, he decided to let it go.
