Taehyung entered the school with the firm intention of asking Jungkook about what he saw but the boy was nowhere to be found. He connected his earphones and went to check out his playlist, there were a few users listening to it. Every time the brunette would check his playlist, he would see one of them, Seagull0109, was always listening to his songs and it made him happy. On his way to his math class, Taehyung caught a glimpse of the younger, tucking his brand new phone away in his pocket and made his way over.
"Good morning"
"Oh, good morning, Taehyung. How are you today?" Jungkook smiled as he searched through his notebook.
"I'm fine, how about you?"
"All good. I hate to do this but I have to run, I have gym class and by the time I get there I'll already be late"
"Oh"
"Talk to you later?" The ravenette waved goodbye and dashed to class leaving Taehyung stranded in the hallway.
He nodded his head and tried to wave goodbye before going to his locker and making his way to class. For the remaining of the day Taehyung went to class which distracted him and prevented him from thinking about Jungkook in that little store.
The bell rang and Taehyung smiled, his school day was finally over. Seeing how he didn't have a history period today he hadn't been able to talk with Jungkook yet. Not feeling like waiting, he took out his phone and texted his friend.
<Jungkook>
Me: Jungkook, are you still in school?
Jungkook: I'm in the music classroom
Me: Can I meet you there?
Jungkook: Sure
The brunette took his bag and made his way to the music classroom. Outside of his music periods, unlike other students, he didn't like to hang out in there. Many of his class mates would go hang out with the teacher or simply go practice their instruments, but he wasn't fond it, he liked to do things alone.
A few minutes later, just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a faint guitar sound and stopped. He gently twisted the doorknob and opened the door, sitting back to him, with a guitar in his hands, Jungkook was playing a soft melody that Taehyung had never heard before.
He didn't want to startle the boy but he didn't know how to make his presence known without doing so.
"Jungkook?" He called out hoping the boy would hear him.
"Oh Tae, hey" Jungkook smiled and got up, putting down the guitar.
"Don't stop, I liked the song"
"Really? I was just practicing"
"What for?"
"Mr. Chae asked me to be the opening act for the school event in a few weeks"
"Oh wow, that's amazing!"
"Yeah, but uh, you wanted to talk to me?" The ravenette asked.
"Yes, you see I was driving the other day and-" Taehyung stopped when he heard Jungkook's phone go off. After apologizing, Jungkook answered his phone before coming back to where the elder was still waiting for him.
"I have to go, my mom needs me. I'm so sorry, Tae. Can we talk tomorrow??" Seeing the distress in his eyes and the sudden anxiety in his voice, Taehyung nodded.
"Yes, of course"
"I'm really sorry!"
"It's okay, it wasn't really important" Taehyung tried to reassure the younger who was fumbling to gather his things.
"I'll make it up to you, I swear"
"Don't worry, see you tomorrow" The brunette smiled and watched the boy dash out of the classroom.
Looking around, Taehyung saw their teacher's belonging and panicked. If Mr. Chae found him here, he'd bother him about singing again and Taehyung hated those moments. He opened the door and started walking away, on his way out he ran into his teacher who called out to him.
"Taehyung, how good to see you around here-"
"Gotta go, sir!" Taehyung picked up his pace and ran out of the building, away from his teacher.
Once he was out, he stopped to look around, Jungkook's Mercedes wasn't there anymore. Only a few cars and bikes were left in the parking lot, including his. He got into the white vehicle and drove away.
Once he was home, he went straight to his bedroom and flopped on his bed. He checked his messages and answered a few of them, mostly Yoongi and his other friend Jin. He saw a message from the ravenette and decided to answer it as well.
<Jungkook>
Jungkook: So sorry about earlier. We can talk tomorrow, I promise
Me: Don't worry about it, it's okay, really
Jungkook: Still, I feel bad
Me: It's fine, Jungkook I hope you could help your mom
Jungkook: Yeah, everything is fine. Now I'm studying math
Me: Aren't you tired from your school day?
Jungkook: Yeah but I gotta keep my grades up
Me: Idk how you do it but good luck then
Jungkook: Thanks haha, ttyl
Me: Bye Kook
Taehyung chuckled at his friend's devoted spirit before opening Netflix on his computer and spending the rest of the day feeling bad about not studying.
