Pinky Promise--Taekook

Ew.

The next day I woke up before Tae and decided to leave, grabbing my bag. I headed back to my room and took a shower I threw on a clean uniform and a hoodie. I'd left my jacket at Taehyung's place. oops. 

I walked out of the building, headed to school. I might even beat Tae today. I should brag to him; I opened my phone to message him. 

"Jeon Jungkook!" I hear, I looked up and see Jin running at me. "What the hell was last night, you fool?"

I laughed. "It was a prank, stupid" I elbow him in the side. I look at him cautiously, he looks pissed. I take off down the street and he chases me. 

I ducked past people down the hall hearing Jin still yelling my name. I ran onto Namjoon's class and skidded to stop, ducking and hiding behind him. I hold onto his dress shirt, breathing hard. 

"What is it? Is it Changbin?" He says, turning to me with wide eyes. 

"Jeon Jungkook!" Jin storms in. 

"Oh it's Jin. I'll distract him, you run" He stands. I grinned, winking at the pretty girl next to Namjoon. I run out of the class as Namjoon flirts with Jin, stunning him momentarily. The bell rings as I sit down even running, I barely cut the bell. Taehyung wasn't here either maybe I should have woken him before I left. 

But as the day went on, he wasn't late. He was missing. Ms. Jung didn't seem to think anything of it. 

I skipped gym with Jimin again. We watched from afar while smoking on of his cigarettes. 

"How are you doing?" He asks. 

"Better. It hurts to think about him. I'm angry that he's gone and that I didn't do anything when we fought. But I've accepted that he's gone" I looked at my phone case, seeing his face. How about you?" 

He shrugged. "Pretty much the same. It-it still doesn't feel the same" He passes me the cigarette. "Can-can I tell you something?"

I turned to him, breathing out smoke. I nodded. "Sure, what's up buddy-o?" 

"It feels silly now, but I had a crush on him; he smiles shyly, holding the cigarette up to his lips. 

"What?" I looked at him, surprised. 

He smiles, nodding. "I did for years, but you guys had your whole thing going on."

"Oh shit--I'm sorry I didn't know." 

"It's ok, I mean I think it's just a crush" He looks out at the field, watching the students run around. I see his eyes go far away. I knew it was more than a crush even if he didn't want to tell me. I'd known him for years I knew when he was hiding something form me. 

How did I not tell he liked Yoongi? 

"Did you actually like him?"

I scoff at his words. "Of course, I liked him. I think part of me loved him, I just didn't realize it" I shrugged. 

"Really?"

"Yeah" 

I sit back down in class after talking to Jimin and I text Tae. 

JK" Hey, why aren't you at school?

JK: did you fall asleep?

I should take notes for him, I decided. So that's what I did for the rest of the class, work on notes for him. I text him the pictures after and add a note:

JK: Here are some notes sorry they're messy. attachment: 5 images. 

JK: also, I forgot my jacket at your house. 

JK: You can keep it :)

JK: Just kidding. 

JK: I want it back I'm cold. 

I get back to the orphanage and my social worker, Bora pulls me into her office. She's pissed off. This was going to be good. I watch her pace the room, mumbling to herself. 

"Seriously Jungkook? I've been gone for two weeks! How have you been acting out so much?" she rants while her voice raises. "You went missing for five days, then came back here and slept your ass off!" She yelled and hit me on the side of the head. 

"At this rate, no one's going to adopt you" She raises my chin, so I'd look at her. I glared at her. 

"You think I still care about that? I know no one's going to adopt me." 

"No when you're fucking acting like this!" She hits me on the head again. "Get your fucking act together!"
