No Love Desired [Taekook]

Chapter 9

It bothered me to be dragged along with them, forced to watch their lovey-dovey antics as a third wheel. It's like I'm just there, feeling left out in the midst of their affectionate display.

Many events unfolded with him accidentally or perhaps intentionally crossing paths with us, only to end up tagging along. In a planned gathering, I was practically begged to join, with pretext that it wouldn't be as enjoyable without me. Little did I know, I ended up becoming the designated helper boy to them?

Knowing Jungkook's shyness and hesitance to venture alone, I often found myself willingly accompanying him on various occasions, hoping to help him overcome his shyness. However, despite my efforts, he remained reserved about expressing his feelings for Yugyeom.

After observing this pattern for two months, my patience reached its limit. I could no longer wait for Jungkook to vocalize his emotions towards Yugyeom, especially when his changing behavior became glaringly obvious to anyone observing from a distance.

Before that, I want to know the answer to my deep-down nagging question. How did he end up falling for the university scourge when there were plenty of genuinely good people throwing themselves at him? I've witnessed a parade of individuals, eager to be a part of his life, drawn not only by his fame but also by the allure of his personality. However, most of these admirers turned out to be omegas and female betas, with their own motives, some seeking a taste of his stardom.

On the flip side, there's Yugyeom, the university heartthrob, mainly famous for his skills on the football field. But apart from that, he doesn't quite measure up to the well-roundedness of those interested in Jungkook. His spot in our prestigious university? It's all thanks to a sports scholarship.

Despite his athletic achievements, he often engaged in teasing or ragging with his gang, targeting those weaker alphas or betas who dared not raise their voices against him. Occasionally, he indulged in flirtations with pretty omegas, adding another layer to his reputation.

There also one aspect where even Jungkook can't surpass him : his famous for standing out in class, not for academic excellence but for his consistent presence outside lecture halls, serving punishments. His weekly visits to the principal's office were a routine event, with a string of cases against him that, under normal circumstances, would have led to expulsion. However, his status as the son of a mafia figure seemed to be the magic wand, constantly only added apology letters on the principal's desk.

However, he cannot be deemed as a complete bad person, contrary to the impression painted by the earlier explanation. He never stooped to bullying someone to the extent of demanding money, forcing them into undress in front of others, physical violence, or body shaming. Instead, his tactics involved more subtle forms of manipulation—assigning others to do his bidding, running errands for him, referring to them by different names, often pairing them up with others, and challenging the weaker ones with dares like dancing, singing, animal walks, or rap performances.

He also maintained a respectable distance from omegas, refraining from physical contact without their explicit permission, even when openly flirting with them. Despite his mischievous nature, he showed a level of decency in this aspect.

His minor infractions included summoning staff without a clear purpose, disrupting classes during lectures, skipping classes, making remarks during staff explanations, and walking out in the middle of lectures. However, the more serious offenses that could have led to his expulsion were involvement in fights, initiation of altercations, uttering offensive language through the microphone at public events, and damaging the overall decorum of the college.

Ever since that football match, it's like Yugyeom underwent a complete transformation. Suddenly, he wasn't the same guy who flirted with every pretty omega in sight or skipped lectures like they were optional. Even the principal's office stopped receiving those weekly apology letters that used to be as regular as clockwork.
