PART 3

After school, Jungkook trudged through the front door, dropping his backpack on the floor. Exhaustion washed over him.He headed straight to his bedroom.
No greetings. No snacks.Just his bed. He flopped onto the mattress. Pulling the blankets up to his neck. Covering himself from head to toes.
The darkness enveloped him.Jungkook let out a deep sigh. His mind began to wander.
Taehyung's smile. Taehyung's laughter. Taehyung's eyes. He couldn't shake the image. His thoughts swirled.
Why was he so captivated?Was it the unexpected transfer? Or something more?

Jungkook's eyelids grew heavy. Sleep beckoned. But his brain refused to quiet.
Taehyung's name echoed in his mind.
"Taehyung... Taehyung..."As Jungkook drifted off to sleep. His subconscious whispered. "This is trouble."

In the morning, Jungkook wokes up before his alarm, a rare occurrence. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes, wondering why he felt so alert. As he swung his legs over the side of the bed, a name popped into his mind.
Taehyung. A flutter in his chest accompanied the thought. Why was he thinking of the new student? Jungkook shook his head, trying to clear the haze. No answer came. He got dressed and headed to school, earlier than usual. The empty halls seemed quieter than normal.Jungkook's footsteps echoed. His mind wandered. Taehyung's smile.Taehyung's laugh.What was it about him?Jungkook couldn't pinpoint. But he knew one thing.He wanted to see Taehyung today. The anticipation was unnerving Jungkook took a deep breath.To Calm down but his heart refused to listen. It raced waiting for Taehyung's arrival.

AFTER SOMETIMES.

The classroom doors swung open, and students began to filter in.

Jimin burst through the doorway, a look of surprise on his face.

"Kook! What's going on? You didn't wait for me today!" Jimin exclaimed, plopping down beside Jungkook.

Jungkook shrugged, attempting nonchalance."Just got here a bit early, that's all."

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

Jungkook chuckled."Shut up, Jimin."

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

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

AFTER A LONG WAITING.

Jungkook leaned against the window, chatting with Jimin."I'm telling you, Jimin, that new video game is going to be epic!" Jungkook exclaimed. Jimin chuckled.
"You've been waiting for months. You'll probably finish it in a day."Jungkook grinned."Maybe less."
Just then, Taehyung walked into view.
Through the window.Jungkook's jaw dropped.Taehyung's hair was perfectly messy. His eyes sparkled in the morning light. His smile. Radiant.Jungkook's heart skipped a beat.

"Whoa," Jimin whispered, noticing Jungkook's gaze."Looks like someone's arrived."
Jungkook couldn't tear his eyes away.
Taehyung's beauty captivated him.

Time froze.
The classroom faded into the background.
Only Taehyung existed.
"Kook, breathe," Jimin whispered, nudging Jungkook.Jungkook snapped back to reality.
"Shh, don't make a scene."
Taehyung approached the classroom door.
Jungkook's pulse quickened.The door swung open.Taehyung entered in the class and he passed over Jungkook, without saying good morning to him.

Jungkook's eyes remained locked on Taehyung. Longing to approach him.To talk to him.To know him better. But fear held him back. What if Taehyung doesn't want to talk to him? What if he stumbled over his words? Jungkook's doubts silenced his desires. He retreated into his shell.
Content to admire Taehyung from afar.
Secretly. Anonymously.

Jungkook became 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 remained oblivious.
Unaware of Jungkook's hidden admiration.
Jungkook's secret became his solace.
And his curse. As days passed, Jungkook's longing grew, But his fear remained.
A constant battle. Between heart and mind.

Would Jungkook find the courage to reveal himself? Or forever remain a secret admirer?

One day Jungkook was passing down the hallway, lost in thought. Suddenly he spotted Taehyung Sitting alone eating lunch.
Jungkook's feet halted. Transfixed.
Taehyung's eyes closed Savoring each bite.

Jungkook's heart fluttered.The way Taehyung's lips moved.The way his tongue darted.The way his throat bobbed. Each gesture Captivating. Jungkook's breath caught. He had never seen anyone so lovely.

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

Drinking in the beauty Of Taehyung's unassuming elegance.

Time stood still.
As Jungkook watched Mesmerized.
Taehyung opened his eyes. And Looked up.
Their gazes met for an instant.
Jungkook he swiftly looked away.Pretending indifference.
Taehyung's eyes narrowed. Wondering.
But Jungkook was already gone.Vanished.
Leaving Taehyung to ponder.

LATER AT SAME DAY.

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

Jungkook hesitated.

"Not now, Jimin. I have some work to finish."

Jimin raised an eyebrow.

"Since when did you care about work, Kookie?"

Jungkook shrugged."Since today."

Jimin chuckled.

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

Jungkook nodded, his eyes locked on Taehyung, who sat nearby, engrossed in his book.

Time skipped.

Jungkook went to bathroom so he can go back home because it's getting late. When he comes back he noticed taehyung sat alone on a bench outside. His head bowed, Shoulders trembling. Jungkook's heart hurts. Taehyung was crying. "Who's making the angel cry?" Jungkook wondered. His protective instincts flared. He approached quietly. Not wanting to startle Taehyung.
Jungkook's eyes scanned the area. No one else was around. What could be wrong?
Taehyung's tears fell Silently uncontrollably.
Jungkook's chest ached he longed to comfort Taehyung to wipe away those tears. But fear held him back.What if he wasn't welcomed? Jungkook hesitated.
Torn between concern and caution.
Taehyung's sobs deepened.Jungkook's resolve crumbled. He couldn't just stand there he had to act.

He was about to approach Taehyung.
But a black car come and parked near Taehyung. A boy came out of the car.Jungkook didn't see his face. The boy rushed to taehyung and hugged him. They started talking. Jungkook didn't hear anything but he could tell that the boy was apologizing to Taehyung.
After that, Taehyung went into the car.
And they drove away.

Jungkook stood frozen.Confusion swirling.
Who was that boy?What had happened?
Why did Taehyung cry? Jungkook's questions lingered. Unanswered. As he watched the car disappear into the distance.
His heart felt heavy Concern for Taehyung. Mixed with envy for the boy's closeness to Taehyung.

Jungkook whispered to himself:
"If I can get a chance to have Taehyung in my life, I will never make him cry."
His voice barely audible, he promised to himself. vow to protect, To cherish, To love
Only for Taehyung.
Jungkook's heart swelled. Longing and determination mixing within. He watched the distant car taehyung's absence felt like an ache. Jungkook's resolve strengthened.
He would 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.
