Jungkook found himself standing in front of the school, wondering what he should do now. He finished all his classes and the basketball training as well; he should have been free half an hour before but he couldn't stop himself from exchanging a few more words with Namjoon. Somehow talking with the boy was really refreshing and exactly what he needed right now. The boy knew so much about basketball but apparently was also skilled in other areas.

They parted ways in the parking lot where Namjoon took his bicycle and drove away. That was rather unexpected to see but in the end, Joon was one of the boys who liked sports so maybe he treated cycling as one of them. JK didn't think about it for too long.

But he started thinking about Taehyung. Or more about what they had agreed on during their talk on the patio. The boy wanted to spend the night at his house but he had never mentioned any details about his visit. Should Jungkook wait for him so they can go there together? Or will the boy come later after he changes into something more comfortable at home?

JK knew nothing. He didn't even have Taehyung's phone number to call him or text him. For a split second, he thought of asking Jimin about it but immediately abandoned that idea. First of all, the blond would not let him live after such a request, knowing how suspiciously they behaved lately. And secondly, he assumed Jimin simply didn't have it; he doubted anyone at this school had it—that would be such a flex.

So what was left for Jungkook was to get on his motorbike and simply come home, hoping Taehyung would find his way there on his own. He knew the address too well.

Apparently, Taehyung wasn't wrong with his weather predictions. It was colder with every passing minute and the pleasant sun already hid behind the clouds. At first, they were only white but gradually they were turning gray to eventually cover the whole sky with the black ones. So much so that when he parked at the estate, he could already feel that strange dampness in the air.

He climbed the stairway and slowly reached the fourth floor. Just as he approached his apartment, he got the long-awaited answer. He had no problem recognizing a familiar figure sitting on the stairs, right next to the door. Taehyung simply leaned against the wall and read a book passionately, although after a while JK noticed that it was one of the textbooks. The boy was very focused and didn't even notice Jungkook's presence. And it gave JK a moment to admire the view.

The gold-and-green shirt suggested that the boy came here right after school, without catching a breath at home. It only made Jungkook regret that he had stayed so long at the locker room after practice. Usually, he was the first one to get changed and leave the school but this time, besides talking to Namjoon, he wanted to chat a little with other team members, just to know them better. After all, it wasn't even a week since he had been accepted to the team. He wanted to know something more about the boys and their habits.

But maybe today wasn't the best day to do so. Had he been here earlier, he might not have found the boy waiting for him in front of his apartment. Jungkook wondered how long has he been sitting there.
