The Fault In Romance

jungkook's pov:

"over here" I heard a team-mate say as I pass the ball to them and do another lap. we are training a lot earlier today. It is an hour before school starts and we had just finished practice. it was quite cold this morning but we work with what we got.

"great training boys, go get changed and get ready for classes. jungkook stay back" the coach yells out to everyone. the team ooo'd as people walked past me as I headed to coach. they all patted my back as I told them to get lost.

"why do they always assume I am in trouble when you ask for me to stay back" I say to coach who sighs and gets me to follow him. 'oh no' I thought.

"am I in-trouble?" I ask as soon as he leads me to his office.

"have a seat jungkook" he said, closing the door behind him as he walks towards his desk. I frown and sit in the seat, watching him as my leg bounces up and down fast out of nervousness.

"you arent in trouble. this is more of a check in" the coach says, voice still serious.

"I am fine coach, I swear" I say, trying to convince him I am okay because I am okay.

"your head does not seem in the game as much lately, I am just worried. we have a couple big games coming up and I am counting on you to bring the team together and train as much as possible"

"your the number one in the team jungkook, I can rely on you to do your part.... right?" he asked, I nodded.

"I am sorry coach. If I am being honest I am falling behind in some classes, I have been tying to get on top of it and understand certain things but it feels like it goes through one ear and out the other."

my coach nods, leaning back in his chair and grabs a slip from his desk and starts writing.

"is there a subject you dont like doing?" coach asked and I nodded fast.

"french class coach" I reply, watching as he signs something and hands me the slip.

"hand this over to the office and say you want to switch from french class to free period. during this free period you go to the library and you use that hour to study, get on top of assessments. not a lot of students have this free period instead of class, use it wisely"

I felt so thankful in the moment, this could be very beneficial. I find I dont get to relax very often cause I am trying to finish all my other tasks.

"thank you so much coach" I said, bowing as he shoo's me from his office.

"go get changed kid then go to the office" he says before I head out. a bright smile was on my face as I looked at the slip in my hands as I walk towards the school corridor to head towards the locker rooms.

I gasp as soon as I bang into someone, my eyes widen as I watch the person fall onto the ground. the male let out a pained 'ouch'.

"shit I am so sorry!" I said, immediately helping the male off the ground. grabbing either side of his arm and lifting him up. I freeze a little when I notice I just bumped into the really handsome friend of jimin's that I did not know existed.

his eyes widened when he saw me and he soon looked at the ground, I followed his gaze to see his glasses on the floor.

"oh" I say and bend down to grab it, I blow on it and wipe it before placing it on his nose. making sure it was in place before I apologise again.

"I am so sorry, this is like the third time this week I have bumped into someone. I need to be more aware, I apologise if I hurt you" I say, watching as the brunette's eyes land on me and soon looked away,

"It's okay" he whispered, moving to the side to let me continue walking.

"I am jungkook by the way" I say moving my hand towards him to shake, watching as the brunette hesitated to move his hand forward. as soon as our hands connected I felt my heart rate speed up a little at how soft his hands felt and how delicate his hands looked.

"taehyung" he replied back. I was about to say something when the bell went off, I turned around to see students started to pour into the hallway.

"hey-" I said but was cut off when I turned around to see taehyung had disappeared.

I let out a sigh before I made my way towards the lockers, soon bumping into ryan who was on his way out.

"oh kook, was everything okay with coach?" he asked, I sighed again and pulled him into the locker room that was empty.

"he thinks im slacking off lately in training" I mutter, slipping out of my shirt and shorts before grabbing my clothes for the day out of my gym bag.

"if I am honest, I think we all have been. a lot of the guys are so not putting in the effort to even do drills, they leave it up to everyone else to get them motivated. it cant be all on you" ryan said, leaning against the wall as I get changed

"so much pressure, you know" I say, hearing ryan hum in agreement.

"are we still on for tomorrow's show at the bar?" ryan asked

"of course we are, I am looking forward to it. lots of people should be there" I replied. me, ryan and yoongi have a performance tomorrow after school at the bar. it is a five dollar entry, and lots of people from school have gotten tickets.

we sing songs that we have created as a band than we do covers. we play often but this is our biggest event in awhile. I am looking forward to it.
