Jungkook's POV 

“Guys, y'all fill this form and give me before noon, okay?” Coach says after the morning practice, giving us all a form to fill our details for the upcoming inter-school Football match, happening next month. It's an important match and hence we will be practicing more zealously from now on. 

After I get the form, I walk to Tae who is sitting on a side bench, tired after the ten lap jogging. He's been coming with me for Jogging since a week, actually without any reluctance. I think he now really has the goal to get stronger. Or maybe he just wants to see me practicing. Yesterday he surprised me by saying I look sexy all sweaty. 

And I'm really happy he doesn't actually care about people's questions, stares and whispers anymore. He is surprisingly not nervous after last day's incidents. 

After Namra got arrested, people's doubts about us increased tenfold. By the way, she got only 7 months sentence in jail along with a fine of 3 million won. 

Somehow everyone got to know, she got arrested for trying to poison Tae. And people aren't negligent enough when coming to these kinds of matters. They can't just think she tried to poison Tae cause he is the main reason she and her friends got dismissed and suspended from school, which is the reason recorded in the crime file. 

The last two days, everywhere I went, I was being suffocated with questions about my and Tae's relationship. He also received a lot of questions. But we both still say 'We are just friends' although it's clear to everyone that 'we are not just friends.' 

Thankfully the issue hasn't reached our parents yet as Gayoung's Dad did everything for the case. Gayoung honestly told him about our relationship and that our parents don't know about it. She asked him to not reveal the things to them, especially to Tae's parents. Thankfully, her Dad decided to not let our parents know and also made sure to not mention our relationship in the case file. But he told us to tell our parents soon. 

However, I'm a bit worried our warden will soon change our room again or call our parents. He definitely got to know about the rumors by now and yesterday evening he actually came to our room to check upon us. 

 Thankfully we both were studying Calculus then and we had our books spread out on the desk. Mr. Jung didn't ask us anything and soon went back after saying we must keep our room a bit more tidier. But I know he is suspicious. I think we should try to act more like friends in public. In fact, we stopped holding hands while walking. 

Tae gets up from the bench, taking his water bottle as he sees me walking towards him. 

“What's the paper?” he asks me pointing at the form. 

“It's a form to fill in our details for the upcoming football match. Just height, weight and all,” I reply. He nods and we both walk in direction of the canteen. 

After we have breakfast with Eunwoo and Gayoung, we go back to our dorm to get ready for school. Tae showers first while I sit at the desk chair, filling the form. Once he comes out, I quickly rush to the bathroom taking my towel. It was already 8:35. 

When I step out of the bathroom, Tae flinches and stands up from the edge of the bed, quickly turning and walking towards his cupboard. He is still in his towel and his hair is dripping wet. 

“Hey, why haven't you dressed up yet? What were you doing?” I ask him confused. He doesn't reply. 

“Baby, didn't you hear me?” I ask. 

“Ahm..I- I was...I was speaking to my M..mom on phone,” he stammers terribly whilst rummaging inside his cupboard. 

“Hey, what happened to you?” I ask and start walking towards him.
