BODYGUARD | VKOOK

┌EIGHT┐

Jeon Jungkook was seething with anger.

Although it may not have been a significant issue, it was enough to make Jungkook clench his teeth in annoyance.

Several days had passed since Jungkook discovered that Taehyung was his bodyguard, and it had become apparent that Taehyung enjoyed his job more than he should. However, there had been little to no progress between them.

As usual, foolish students continued to flock around Taehyung, mesmerized by his attractiveness- Taehyung remained by Jungkook's side out of duty.

Jungkook couldn't help but feel furious as he watched those girls and guys shower Taehyung with compliments and confidence, unlike himself who became a nervous wreck whenever Taehyung was present. And since Taehyung never left his sight, it meant Jungkook felt this way the entire day.

Jungkook yearned to exude confidence around Taehyung, but it seemed unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Jungkook quietly ate his bread, trying to ignore the strange looks he was getting from the boys. He glanced over at the nearby table where Taehyung was surrounded by students who were impressed by his math skills. Jungkook sighed, feeling a mix of jealousy and annoyance. Their eyes briefly met, but Jungkook quickly looked away and focused on Jimin, who seemed worried.

Namjoon, sitting between Yoongi and Jimin, asked about their weekend plans. His eyes sparkled with excitement, but Jungkook couldn't muster up the same enthusiasm. He took a deep breath, feeling a bit disheartened.

"I'm going home to visit my parents. It's been a while," Jungkook replied curtly, glancing at the others nodding in understanding.

They exchanged their thoughts as well and Jungkook just sat there, completely bored and at Taehyung's sole table- where the others still were there and Taehyung had a blank expression on his face, replying bluntly to everything that everyone was asking.

Jungkook's eyes grew wide and his mouth parted a little when he saw a girl sliding on Taehyung's lap, giggling to herself- Jungkook literally was about to slam his fist against the table and he did! Jungkook stood up and instantly rushed to Taehyung's table and pushed the girl away-

Taehyung sat there, seemingly trying to understand what was going on, and then Jungkook snarled. "All of you, fuck off! Never saw a guy before?" He growled in a deep voice and then glared at the girl that sat on Taehyung's lap previously. "And what the hell were you even doing? Is Taehyung your personal property where you can sit whenever you want?" Jungkook snapped, furrowing his eyebrows.

The girl stood up and glared at him, grunting in annoyance. "Relax, dude. Taehyung asked me to do it, and besides, I'm a proud lesbian." She retorted before walking away.

Jungkook blinked, puzzled by Taehyung's request. Slowly, the crowd dispersed, leaving Jungkook and Taehyung in a tense staring match.

"Why the hell did you ask her that?" Jungkook asked, irritation evident in his voice. The lack of response only fueled his anger. "Answer me!" Jungkook spat, demanding a reply. Taehyung sighed, giving in to the pressure.

"I just wanted to see if it would make you jealous, that's all," Taehyung admitted, and then Jungkook grimaced.

"You... made me create a whole scene in front of everyone just to satisfy your curiosity about my jealousy?" Jungkook questioned, feeling hurt and betrayed.

Taehyung cleared his throat, attempting to defuse the tension. "Look, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to upset you. It's not a big deal, so let's not blow it out of proportion."

"I'm being overly dramatic? So, let me get this straight. You played a prank on me to make me jealous, knowing full well how I feel about you. And you were so confident that I would get jealous and come running to you if something like that happened, right?" Jungkook said, crossing his arms in frustration.

"Yeah, I did... and maybe I-" Taehyung began to respond, but Jungkook interrupted him. "How long have you known about my feelings?" Jungkook asked, and Taehyung nervously chewed on the inside of his mouth before answering. "Since the moment you expressed your desire to have sex with me..." Taehyung admitted, making Jungkook's eyes widen in surprise.

"And all this time, you pretended not to know anything?! We even came close to having sex, and you just let it happen, fully aware of what I truly wanted from you!" Jungkook snapped, his eyes darkening with anger.

"I apologize, alright? I was unsure how to respond and listen- I didn't want to exploit your emotions or anything-" Taehyung interrupted himself when he noticed Jungkook swiftly turning around and walking away.

Taehyung hurriedly chased after him, nervously biting his lip. "Come on, Jungkook. I already said I'm sorry, didn't I?" Taehyung blurted out, feeling his heart rate quicken as Jungkook continued to flee.

"Just leave me alone!" Jungkook sobbed in a trembling voice, causing Taehyung to let out a deep breath.

He's being so overdramatic...
