"I like you."
"Well, I would hope so."

It took a month to come up with it, but he'll confront Min-ju about cheating on Jeongguk and possibly get her to tell him the truth with out having to tell Jeongguk himself. He was going back and forth on whether to leave this alone and forget about it, but he has a strong feeling that forgetting about it won't happen.
The brunette hates confrontations almost as much as public humiliation, but he really doesn't want to keep this in. Guilt ate him up at night with how he sees Jeongguk skip to his 'oh-so sweet and innocent girlfriend', while Taehyung on the other hand, has to pretend she isn't cheating on him. Sure, he could go to one of Jeongguks friends that he's acquainted with, such as Yoongi or Hoseok, but that's also a confrontation and a confession how he knows Min-ju cheated on Jeongguk.
How bad could this go? Taehyung thought to himself and let out a small, awkward chuckle while he made his way to Jeongguk through this cafeteria. Tugging on the ravens sleeve, "Hey do- um, do you know where Min-ju is?" He nervously asks, gulping after.
"Min-ju? She should be with So-Yeon or one of her friends, why?" He questions, knowing that he and her don't exactly talk much to one another. Well, Taehyung isn't really familiar with anyone in the school.
"Who's that?" The brunette asks, not recognizing the name.
Point taken.
Jeongguk was about to describe what her friends look like or where Min-ju might be, though that was until he spots her. "She's about to leave the cafeteria." He points behind the other and tosses a grape in his mouth, not thinking much of it, but did wonder what he needed her for.
Taehyung let out a small nod as he scurried off across the cafeteria. He fiddled with his jacket sleeve, growing quite nervous, and his heart pace increased. The high school student reached his hand out to go tap on her shoulder, though came to a halt.
Why won't anything come out? Taehyung questions to himself why he isn't just able to say those few words of asking her why she's cheating on the raven or anything at all. A frown curved his lips down, knowing he can't do this after all.
Why am I so pathetic?

Taehyung was once again hugging the bunny plush which brought him much comfort. Though, this time he wasn't on his bed, sulking. He was on Jeongguks and the raven was eating his bowl of ramen while watching a TV show. When Jeongguk finished work which took place after school just around the corner, he picked up Taehyung along the way since his house is the same direction of his own, and the brunette secretly brought over the bunny until it was spotted by Jeongguk after his poor attempt of hiding it.
