Everlasting Commitment: TaeKook

Chapter- 17

As the lunch break ended, the classroom buzzed back to life with the eager chatter of students. Taehyung and Jungkook remained seated, engrossed in a post-lunch study session. Taehyung, the senior, patiently explained a complex concept to Jungkook, who listened intently, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Hours slipped by unnoticed until the final bell of the day rang out, signaling the end of classes. Most students filed out of the classroom, but Taehyung and Jungkook lingered behind, their focus still on their academic pursuits.

Taehyung leaned over Jungkook's desk, gesturing animatedly as he continued to clarify the finer points of their discussion. Jungkook's eyes sparkled with understanding as he absorbed every word, determined to grasp the subject matter fully.

Finally, Taehyung straightened up, satisfied with their study session. "Alright, Jungkook, I think that's enough for today. You've made great progress."

Jungkook nodded, a grateful smile spreading across his face. "Thanks, Taehyung hyung. I really appreciate your help."

With a nod of acknowledgment, Taehyung gathered his belongings and prepared to leave. "No problem, Jungkook. Anytime you need assistance, just let me know."

As Jungkook watched Taehyung depart, he gathered his own things and headed towards the school's bicycle stand. His trusty bicycle awaited him, and he wasted no time in unlocking it and preparing to ride home.

But just as he swung his leg over the seat, disaster struck. His balance faltered, and the bicycle slipped from beneath him, crashing to the ground with a clatter. Jungkook managed to steady himself, but his heart sank as he inspected the damage.

The handlebars lay twisted and broken, rendering the bicycle unusable. Jungkook's shoulders slumped in defeat as he realized the extent of the damage. He attempted to fix the handlebars, but his efforts proved futile.

Taehyung, who had been on his way out of the school grounds, noticed Jungkook's predicament and quickly made his way over. "Hey, Jungkook, what's going on? Are you alright?"

Jungkook sighed heavily, gesturing towards the mangled handlebars. "My bicycle... it fell over, and now the handlebars are broken. I've been trying to fix them, but I'm not having much luck."

Taehyung knelt down beside Jungkook, examining the damaged bicycle with a sympathetic expression. "Let me take a look. Maybe I can help."

Jungkook watched anxiously as Taehyung inspected the handlebars, his mind racing with thoughts of potential repairs. Taehyung's skilled hands moved deftly, attempting to assess the damage and devise a solution.

After a few moments of careful examination, Taehyung shook his head regretfully. "I'm sorry, Jungkook. I don't think I can fix this here. The handlebars are too badly damaged."

Jungkook's heart sank even further at the realization that his bicycle might be beyond repair. "What should I do, Taehyung? I don't have any other way to get home."

Taehyung placed a reassuring hand on Jungkook's shoulder, offering a comforting smile. "Don't worry, Jungkook. We'll figure something out. Maybe we can find someone who can lend you a ride home, or perhaps there's a nearby repair shop where we can take your bicycle."

Jungkook nodded, grateful for Taehyung's support. "Thank you, Taehyung. I really appreciate your help."

As they walked towards the repair shop, Taehyung glanced at Jungkook. "Let's hope they can fix your bike quickly."

"Yeah, I hope so too," Jungkook replied, a hint of worry in his voice.

Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed when they found the repair shop closed. Taehyung sighed, scratching his head. "Looks like we'll need to find another option. The next shop is quite a distance away."
