PART 3

After school Jungkook trudges through the front door, dropping his backpack on the floor. Exhaustion washes over him. He heads straight to his bedroom. No greetings, No snacks, Just his bed. He flops onto the mattress Pulling the blankets up to his neck covering himself from head to toes.

The darkness envelops him, Jungkook lets out a deep sigh his mind begins to wander. Taehyung's smile, Taehyung's laughter, Taehyung's eyes. He can't shake the image his thoughts swirl. Why is he so captivated? Is it the unexpected transfer? Or something more?

Jungkook's eyelids grow heavy Sleep beckons. But his brain refuses to quiet, Taehyung's name echoes in his mind. "Taehyung... Taehyung..." As Jungkook drifts off to sleep, His subconscious whispers. "This is trouble."

In the morning, Jungkook wakes up before his alarm, a rare occurrence. He rubs the sleep from his eyes, wondering why he feels so alert. As he swings his legs over the side of the bed, a name pops into his mind. Taehyung. A flutter in his chest accompanies the thought, Why is he thinking of the new student?

Jungkook shakes his head, trying to clear the haze. No answer comes he gets dressed and heads to school earlier than usual. The empty halls seem quieter than normal Jungkook's footsteps echo. His mind wanders taehyung's smile, taehyung's laugh.What is it about him? Jungkook can't pinpoint, But he knows one thing he wants to see Taehyung today. The anticipation is unnerving Jungkook takes a deep breath to Calm down but his heart refuses to listen it races while waiting for Taehyung's arrival.

AFTER SOMETIMES.

The classroom doors swing open, and students begin to filter in.

Jimin bursts through the doorway, a surprise look on his face. "Kookie! What's going on? You didn't wait for me today!" He exclaims, plopping down beside Jungkook.

Jungkook shrugs attempting nonchalance."Just get here a bit early that's all."

Jimin raises an eyebrow."Early? You? That's a miracle!"

Jungkook chuckles."Shut up Jimin."

Jimin's eyes sparkle."Seriously what's got you so energized today?"

Time passes but Taehyung doesn't come to school. Jungkook can't stay in one place, he wants to see Taehyung.

AFTER A LONG WAITING.

Jungkook leans against the window, chatting with Jimin."I'm telling you Jimin, that new video game is going to be epic!" Jungkook exclaims.

Jimin chuckles you've been waiting for months. You'll probably finish it in a day."Jungkook grins maybe less." Just then, Taehyung walks into view. Through the window.Jungkook's jaw drops taehyung's hair is perfectly messy, His eyes sparkle in the morning light, His smile radiant.

Jungkook's heart skips a beat.

"Whoa," Jimin whispers noticing Jungkook's gaze."Looks like someone is arrived."

Jungkook can't tear his eyes away. Taehyung's beauty captivates him.

Time freezes, the classroom fades into the background. Only Taehyung exists. "Kookie breathe," Jimin whispers nudging Jungkook. Jungkook snaps back to reality. "Shh don't make a scene."

Taehyung approaches the classroom door. Jungkook's pulse quickens.The door swings open.Taehyung enters in the class and he passes over Jungkook, without saying good morning to him.

Jungkook's eyes remain locked on Taehyung longing to approach him, To talk to him. To know him better. But fear holds him back. What if Taehyung doesn't want to talk to him? What if he stumbles over his words? Jungkook's doubts silence his desires. He retreats into his shell. Content to admire Taehyung from afar. Secretly. Anonymously.

Jungkook becomes Taehyung's silent observer. Watching his every move, Listening to his every word, Smiling at his every joke. But never mustering the courage to speak. Taehyung remains oblivious. Unaware of Jungkook's hidden admiration. Jungkook's secret becomes his solace. And his curse. As days pass, Jungkook's longing grows, But his fear remains. A constant battle. Between heart and mind.

One day Jungkook is passing down the hallway, lost in thought. Suddenly he spots taehyung sitting alone eating lunch. Jungkook's feet stop. Taehyung's eyes are closed while eating.

Jungkook's heart flutters.The way Taehyung's lips move, The way his tongue darts, The way his throat bobs. Each gesture Captivating. Jungkook's breath catches. He has never seen anyone so lovely.

Taehyung's vulnerability, Unguarded. Exposed.Jungkook's longing intensifies. A pang in his chest. A yearning to be closer. To share in this moment. But he remains frozen. Unseen. Unheard. A silent observer.

Drinking in the beauty Of Taehyung's unassuming elegance.

Time stands still. As Jungkook watches Mesmerized. Taehyung opens his eyes. And Looks up their gazes meet for an instant. Jungkook swiftly looks away Pretending indifference.

Taehyung's eyes narrow wondering. But Jungkook is already gone vanished. Leaving Taehyung to ponder.

LATER AT SAME DAY.

"Kookie let's go home. School's finished," Jimin says.

Jungkook hesitates. Not now Jimin i have some work to finish."

Jimin raises an eyebrow. "Since when do you care about work Kookie?"

Jungkook shrugs."Since today."

Jimin chuckles. Alright see you tomorrow."

Jungkook nods his eyes locked on Taehyung who sits nearby engrossed in his book.

TIME SKIPPED.

Jungkook goes to bathroom so he can go back home because it's getting late, When he comes back he notices taehyung sits alone on a bench outside. His head on his Shoulders trembling.

Jungkook's heart hurts. Taehyung is crying. "Who's making the angel cry?" Jungkook wonders, His protective instincts flare he approaches quietly, Not wanting to startle Taehyung.

Jungkook's eyes scan the area, No one else is around. What could be wrong? Taehyung's tears fall Silently uncontrollably. Jungkook's chest aches he longs to comfort Taehyung to wipe away those tears. But fear holds him back what if he isn't welcomed? He hesitates.Torn between concern and caution, Taehyung's sob deepens Jungkook's resolve crumbles he can't just stand there he has to act.

He is about to approach Taehyung. But a black car comes and parks near Taehyung, A boy comes out of the car, Jungkook doesn't see his face, The boy rushes to taehyung and hugs him. They start talking Jungkook doesn't hear anything but he can tell that the boy is apologizing to Taehyung, After that taehyung goes into the car. And they drive away.

Jungkook stands frozen confusion swirling. Who is that boy? What has just happened? Why does taehyung cry? Jungkook's questions linger Unanswered. As he watches the car disappear into the distance. His heart feels heavy Concern for Taehyung. Mixed with envy for the boy's closeness to Taehyung.

Jungkook whispers to himself, If I could get a chance to have taehyung in my life, I will never make him cry. His voice barely audible, he promises to himself. vow to protect, To cherish, To love, Only for Taehyung.

Jungkook's heart swells. Longing and determination mix within. He watches the distant car taehyung's absence feels like an ache. Jungkook's resolve strengthens. He will find a way to reach to Taehyung's heart. To be the one who wipes away his tears and brings him smiles.

JUST ONE DAY IF I COULD GET THAT CHANCE TO BE WITH TAEHYUNG ONLY.
