Captain Jeon (An Alternate Ending)

"Bye hyung! See ya tomorrow!" Jungkook flashed the widest smile he ever could as Taehyung ascended the stairs outside his home. They were grinning ear to ear all along the 10 minutes walk from the arcades.

"I've never felt this alive and happy ever, it feels like I'm on cloud nine." Jungkook wondered as he walked back.

Taehyung lay in his bed with his eyes closed only to witness Jungkook in front of his eyes, gleaming at him with his bunny smile. Taehyung knew it was over for him, he had fallen for the boy a long time ago.

"Can't wait to see him tomorrow." Tae mumbled as he closed his eyes dreaming about a special someone as he drifted off to pure bliss.

[NEXT DAY]

"Tae, are you the slightest bit aware that the due date of the assignment Mr Jung gave us is tomorrow?"
Jimin deadpanned.

''Minie, you're scaring me with that look of yours. And yes, I am indeed well aware that it's tomorrow. I have to work on the conclusion a little bit and we're good to go! I was so scared that it might take forever and hanging out with Jungkook wasn't helping at all."

Tae ranted and a hue of pink brushed his cheeks thinking about the aforementioned.

''Tae. Tae? EARTH TO KIM TAEHYUNG!''

Jimin boomed as both of them paced through the corridor gaining attention of many.

Jimin glared at him and facepalmed himself stating-

''At this point I think that Jungkook can brainwash you into anything. You're such a lost cause Tae.''

''SHUT UP MINIE.'' Tae groaned unable to disagree.

''Where is your handsome hunk btw?''
Jimin teased.

An oblivious Tae also pondered why the younger wasn't around. Taehyung would loathe to say this to Jimin but he felt a little sad that Jungkook didn't come to see him first thing in the morning.

"When did I become this clingy?" Taehyung questioned himself but he knew that when it comes to Jungkook nothing actually matters rather than Jungkook himself.

‼️WARNING‼️

- cat calling
- physical harm

"Taehyung look, it's them again." Jimin caught his attention cautiously. He knew that Taehyung despised them, moreover the words they spit through their vile mouths.

"Should we take the other way baby?" Jimin implied as he saw Tae visibly shaking. He held his cold palms and drew circles behind them as he had begun to sweat profusely.

Taehyung hated this, hated himself for being this weak, for easily being affected by the words of people he had no value in his life.

"This is it." He thought. No more running away.

Taehyung was reeled back from his thoughts as Jimin gently pulled him by his sleeve, concern washed over his pretty face.

"Shall we?" Jimin asked again.

"No Minie. I won't run away from them again. I'm stronger than that right?"

The wave of concern on Jimin's face was washed away the instant Taehyung said this with a newfound determination. He prepared himself to throw fists on their filthy faces if required.

Maybe it won't be necessary. Jimin smiled to himself as he peeked over his soulmate's face.
