Ambivalence || TAEJIN

TOGETHER

Jin was currently sitting near the window, his next class was about to begin. A smile was placed on his lips, and his hands unknowingly went to his lips. 'His skin felt so soft,' he thought.

As soon as he realized what he had been thinking, he bumped his head into the table. The whole class glanced in his direction, hearing the source of the sound. Jin just glared at them, and they started minding their own business. Some students whispered behind his back, which Jin didn't seem to care about, as these things were not new to him.

As soon as the professor entered, the whole class became silent. The class went on, but in the middle of the class, a little chaos started around him, making him feel uncomfortable. He felt several pairs of eyes on him. When he seemed to look at them, they turned their faces away.

A few minutes later, he heard his professor calling him, "Kim Seokjin, Kim Seokjin?"

"Yes, sir," Seokjin responded.

"You are called to the dean's office," the professor said.

The whole class started whispering and gossiping.

"Keep quiet, class. Seokjin, you may leave," the professor said.

Jin just nodded and started packing his things. Looking down, he was going to leave the class when he heard a girl saying, "If you're a man-whore, then for sure you'll be called to the dean's office."

Jin clenched his fist; he then looked up and glared at the girl, who looked down immediately. Then Jin went out of the class.

On his way, Jin saw a familiar figure; he rushed towards him and smacked his head.

"Aah, what the hell..." the guy said. He was going to say more, but he stopped as soon as he saw Jin, who was smiling at him.

"W-what are y-you d-doing h-here?" Taehyung asked, stuttering.

Jin chuckled and then said, "Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing?"

"Anyways, I'm called to the dean's office. What about you? Didn't you have any more classes?" Jin asked.

"Me too, and yes, I was having class, but a staff member came and informed the professor that I'm called to the dean's office," Taehyung said.

"What did we do that we're called?" Jin asked.

"Maybe to say that our English project is the best, and that he'll be hosting an award ceremony," Taehyung said, laughing.

"Shut up now. We're already here," Jin said, hitting Taehyung's shoulder.

"Since when did we become this close that you're starting to hit me?" Taehyung asked Jin, raising his eyebrow.

"I don't know, Taehyung, if you remember or not, but I told you that you made me feel like home. And what Seokjin says, he means it," Jin said.

Saying that, Jin knocked on the door of the dean's office.

On the other side, Taehyung just stood there silently, remembering very well what happened that day. He remembered how he and Jin were close, how he took care of Jin that day, how Jungkook asked him whether he liked Jin or not, and how Jin cried that day. It was Taehyung's first time seeing Jin that broken.

"Come in," a voice said from inside the office.

Jin tapped Taehyung's shoulder when he saw that the other was zoning out again.

"Let's go," Jin whispered to Taehyung.

Taehyung nodded his head in return.

"Good morning to you both," the dean greeted them in a rough voice.
