Love That Hurts..

Part -4

The next days Jungkook was worried that if he would run into Tae then what will happen because he wasn't really over the dream at all. Like the next day he and Jimin was eating lunch at the cafeteria and Tae was just passing by . But looking at Tae he choked on water . That was a disaster, cause Chim got so worried about him so he had to tell him everything and from then his misery has started . Chim made it his life mission to tease him . So it was really difficult for him . He didn't want to avoid Tae cause without looking at him his days passed really slowly and it was too boring to survive .

But he noticed something that the crowd that was forming daily and making his life hard that has been significantly decreased. He didn't know the reason but it made him happy.

Here another male wasn't happy either. He asked the teachers to help clearing nuisance beside Jungkook . He also asked some seniors and some girls to stop harassing who followed Jungkook everywhere . But he didn't find the younger after that too. He wanted to ask that if he was okay or everyone stopped following or not. He wasn't like missing him just worried as a senior ( That's what he thought ).

After workshop class , Mr Kang asked for Jungkook. He was telling him about the Hackathon of a prestigious university. " I really want you to participate Jungkook. And present the model of image recognition system idea of yours"
But being anxious, kookie said " B..But sir ..I c ..can't do a g..good presentation"

Mr Kang said " Jeon, you have the potential to win... don't waste your chances."

Jungkook nervously picked up the courage and explained ," Sir , I want to participate , but I'm really not good at explaining to lots of people"

"Okay I understand. Don't worry about it. Just focus on the idea and development part and for the explanation part , I'll arrange someone to help you. ok?"

He nodded slightly and went for the next class. The next class was microprocessor ,his favorite subject . But he wasn't excited like the other days. He was hesitating about the participation in the hackathon. He wasn't sure it was a good idea . of course he wants to develop the project but presenting that in front of everyone and that also for 3 days straight seemed like a bad idea to him.

He was lazily climbing the stairs to get to class looking down but soon when he reached at the junction he blocked by someone coming down. He looked up and his breath hitched. In front of him was a brown haired handsome male who gave a bright boxy smile looking at the younger . The younger male was completely mesmerized by the beauty in front of him. He started drowning in those dark eyes looking at him with such affection. He thought he can never take his eyes off of the older male. And then the scene from the dream started playing in his head.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", without thinking anything rationally he retreated back and ran faster than a cheetah.

And Tae stood there confused and totally baffled by younger's doing. He was beyond shocked. He went to his classroom and flopped beside Namjoon silently. At first Joon didn't notice him then he got worried because Tae was never quiet.

" What happened to you bruh? Why are you looking like you just seen a ghost or something.", Joon asked Tae.

Tae looked at him and asked, " Am I looking scary today? "

Joon laughed and said " Dude .. Are you trying to hype your ego or something? Cause you are not Jin ,so stop acting like him.."

" Just shut your nonsense and answer my damn question.." , Tae angrily said.

" ok.. ok...geez.. Did anybody spit on your coffee or what.. And for your information, you are looking as handsome as ever. Okay then?" said Namjoon.

" Then why?...."

"Really what happened dude?"

"n.nothing....nevermind " , saying that Tae shut Joon off and tried to concentrate on the class . But in spite of his action, his mind was occupied by a certain doe eyes boy whose gaze was earlier on him and his scream was ringing on his ear.

Now.... Jungkook was truly embarrassed by his actions. He didn't just run away ,he did it while screaming on top of his lungs. He was really upset and just wanted to disappear. He was passing by the janitor's cabin and saw Taehyung.

The older was playing with Gogo and telling him about today's incident. Taehyung was smiling so brightly and the fading sunlight on him looked devine. Like in a movie when the main lead appears and everything goes really in slow motion. Jungkook also felt like that.

He was admiring the beautiful site in front of him then reality hit him. He should apologise for his behaviour earlier. He was alone at that time. Chim wasn't with him because of his pending assignment. So this was a grand opportunity. Cause when JImin knew about his actions before he teased him a lot.

He took all his courage and try to be brave and face him. But approaching him seemed like the hardest thing to do.

Ultimately he called, " Hyung!? "

Tae was so into his play , he didn't notice at first.

Then he again asked but this time a bit louder .

Tae flinched hearing that that turned back. And then he saw younger in front of him. His smile faltered and asked , " Oh! It's you. What are you doing here Jungkook? "

Jungkook felt a pang to his heart . His eyes become teary. He said, " I am really sorry hyung. I was thinking about something and suddenly seeing you I panicked. I wasn't trying to offend you or something. I am really embarrassed. I am really really sorry. I shouldn't have done that . "

" Hey..hey kook it's okay... Don't worry about it. You didn't offend me. It's completely fine " saying that Tae hugged him and rubbed circles on his back.

Kookie was sniffling slowly but Tae's hug helped him to calm down . Then tae broke the hug and looked at him. Though younger wanted to stay like that a little bit more but who is he kidding. Cause no amount of time is enough for him when he hugs Tae.

Taehyung said , " I wasn't angry kookie. I was just shocked thinking maybe I made you uncomfortable around me "

Jungkook cut his words quickly and said," no no no hyung. You never made me uncomfortable. You are the best hyung ever. It is me who has problem. I am really sorry I made you think like that."

Taehyung said, " ok ok..no more sorry. Let's just forget it. And if I think about it now. It was kinda funny how you ran. I think you are faster than Usain Bolt. You should participate in the Olympics. "

"Hyuuuuuungggg" , kook said whining a little bit and smiling showing his bunny teeth.

Tae was happy that finally he made the younger smile and forget about everything . And seeing him smile made his whole day a lot better.
" ok...ok .. I'll not tease you anymore. And one more thing I wanted to ask you"

" what is it hyung?" , Kook asked him.

"Is anybody disturbing you anymore? If it is, then you can tell me."

" No hyung. Strangely that decreased overnight. Yes some people are approaching me but they didn't bother me like before."

" Wow.. It's really nice to hear that." , he didn't tell him that he personally made sure that no one can disturb the younger. He just hid that fact.

After little bit of chatting they parted their ways. But their heart was full.
The younger was happy that he made progress talking to his crush.

And the older male just felt content . He wanted to squeeze younger's bread cheeks and boop his nose. But he was trying hard to composed himself and he didn't want to come as weird to the younger too. Cause one thing he learnt that though younger looks athletic and really strong but from inside he is just a really sensitive kid . Tae didn't know what he was feeling . But the feeling is so bubbly and nice , it made everything around him better and cheerful.
