The Roots of Love

Chapter 18

It's been a week since the emotional breakdown Jungkook had with Taehyung. Ever since then Jungkook had found himself staring at Taehyung secretly, his heartbeat would increase whenever he saw Tae laughing and giggling  and his heart would beat a skip whenever their eyes met and Tae would give him a soft smile.

He knew this feeling. He knew what was happening. He knew very well he was falling for Tae. He was falling deeper for that cute little kind hearted soul. And this was making him nervous.

Many things were running through his mind. He was nervous of falling in love after the things his hyung had to go through. More than that he was scared. Scared what if Tae didn't liked him.

But what he didn't knew was Tae was on the same page as him. Since that day Tae was feeling something for him.

He would take shy glances at him and whenever he would have a eye contact he would give a soft smile where as his heart would beat in an abnormal pace and he would get butterflies. He would just keep starring at him during classes.

Just like now Jungkook was teaching something but Tae's whole attention was to gawking at him. "Tae stop ogling at Professor Jeon and focus on the topic" Jimin nudged him to bring him back from his dreamland which was successful. "I'm not ogling at him Chim" Tae replied blushing because of being caught.

"Yeah yeah as if you were not eye fucking him" Jimin rolled his eyes.Tae's eyes widened hearing this and he hit the back of jimin's head making him pout. "The hell Jimin. Stop spouting nonsense" Taehyung huffed blushing furiously.

"Your face face clearly screams if I am spouting nonsense or the truth" Jimin smirked seeing his best friend turning beet red. "Mr. Park and Mr. Kim what are gossiping about? Let the class also know" Jungkook said raising his eyebrows which Tae thought was hot.

"Nothing professor" Jimin replied because Tae was again lost in admiring his professor. Jungkook saw the way Tae was starring at him and he was liking the feeling.

"Keep your attention in the class not in talking" Jungkook said making the whole class to drop their jaws because it was the first he didn't punish someone for talking in the class.

Tae and Jimin nodded and kept quiet. It was lunch time when Tae and Jimin were going towards cafeteria when Tae said "Chim you go ahead. I will come after using the washroom".

"Fine but don't take too much time" Jimin went ahead leaving Tae behind. Tae also went to the direction of washroom. Finishing his work Tae was coming back when someone held him from behind covering his mouth and took him to an empty classroom.

Tae was wriggling to break free but wasn't able to. So he bite the hand that was holding his mouth and elbowed the person and was successful to break free.

Tae looked back at that person and was shocked "Bogum" he muttered gritting his teeth. "The fuck are you upto. Why did you do this?" Taehyung was quite angry.

But Bogum just chuckled lowly looking at Taehyung. His eyes were filled with lust. "I had my eyes on you since the time I saw at that night you know" Bogum said licking his lips "I badly want to have a taste of you. But you never even noticed me. This fueled my desires for you. Now be a good boy and let me have you".

"In your dreams. Try to touch me and I will make sure you can never touch me again" Taehyung said firmly.

"You're quiet feisty and that's the reason I want you. Now let's stop talking and start the work" Bogum was going to touch Tae's waist but Tae was fast enough to catch his wrist twisting it.

"You filthy leech I'm not some weakling that you can easily handle" Tae said twisting his hand more earning a painful shout from Bogum.

"You bitch I'm going to teach you a lesson" Bogum said kicking Taehyung on his legs making him fall. He was again going to kick him but Taehyung quickly stood up backing away. Bogum was going to punch Taehyung when someone caught his hand from the side.

Bogum looked at his side and paled seeing the person who caught him. "Professor Jeon" he muttered under his breath. "How dare you to try to touch and harm him" Jungkook said punching Bogum hard that got his lips busted. He gripped Bogum's hair to make him look up.

"You little fucker is that why you come here huh. To bully and forcing others rather than studying. I have had enough of you. There are many complaints about you but you always slide away using your father's contacts. But this time you crossed your limits. I'll make sure to get you expelled " Jungkook said in a low cold voice giving goosebumps to Bogum and again gave a hard punch due to which Bogum lost his conscious.

Jungkook then turned towards Taehyung who was already looking at him with glossy eyes. "Are you fine?" Jungkook asked in a soft tone cupping Taehyung's face in his rough palm gently. But Taehyung's next move surprised him.

Taehyung didn't said anything and hugged Jungkook tightly taking him off guard. "Did he hurt you anywhere" Jungkook again asked embracing him. Taehyung shook his head snuggling more into Jungkook's buff chest.

Meanwhile Jungkook's heart was beating in a fast speed. Having Taehyung so close to himself gave him butterflies and he was loving this feeling.

When Taehyung realized what he was doing he immediately detached himself from Jungkook and blushed furiously looking down. Jungkook noticed the the pink hue on his cheeks and chuckled.

He put two fingers under Tae's chin raising his head and whispered huskily "Are you suddenly feeling shy cub".

Taehyung's whole face turned red at this and he was feeling a whole zoo in his stomach hearing the nickname. Taehyung without thinking much nodded  but instantly shook his head seeing the teasing smirk on Jungkook's face mentally slapping himself for his stupidity.

"I-I'm fin-fine professor " he stutterd. Jungkook hummed enjoying Tae's flustered state. "Are you stuttering? Where's that bold boy who was fighting with Bogum?" Jungkook teased him making him go more red.

"Okay jokes aside. Did he touch you anywhere?" Jungkook got serious thinking if Bogum harmed Taehyung or not. "No I didn't let him touch me. I'm not someone who is too weak to protect himself" Taehyung replied smiling seeing the way Jungkook was caring for him.

Jungkook sighed in relief hearing this. He again cupped his face and caressed his cheeks. "I know you are not weak but be careful of these assholes. Do know I'm always here for you" Jungkook said making Tae's heart beat a skip. He slightly leaned into that warm hands looking deep into Jungkook's eyes. It seemed like he was in a daze which broke due to Jungkook's chuckle.

Taehyung widened his eyes and ran from there yelling a "Thank you professor". Jungkook laughed at his cute nature. "Gosh he is adorable" Jungkook thought smiling. But his smile faded looking at the unconscious Bogum. "Now let's deal with this " he said picking Bogum up.
