Teach me how to love (KookV TaeKook)

2

The following day at school, the hallways were bustling with students, each immersed in their own conversations and laughter. Jungkook was leaning against a wall, scrolling through his phone when he caught sight of Taehyung entering the building. His heart skipped a beat at the sight of the bright smile on Taehyung's face as he walked in alongside his friend, Jimin.

Taehyung looked effortlessly radiant, his energy lighting up the hallway as he chatted animatedly with Jimin, who was laughing and nudging him playfully. Jungkook felt a surge of warmth wash over him, but it was quickly accompanied by a wave of uncertainty."Should I say hi?" He wondered, feeling a mix of excitement and hesitation.

Jungkook wanted nothing more than to approach Taehyung, to bridge the gap that felt like an unspoken barrier between them. But at the same time, he didn't want to intrude on the moment he was sharing with Jimin. He didn't know how to navigate these feelings that were new to him. Instead of making a move, he remained rooted to the spot, torn between his desire to connect and his fear of interrupting.

As Taehyung and Jimin walked closer, Jungkook felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He watched as Taehyung's laughter filled the air, and something inside Jungkook shifted. "Why is it so hard for me to just say hello?" he thought, feeling frustrated with himself. He decided to take a step back, convinced that staying out of their way would be the best option.

As Taehyung passed by, Jungkook took a deep breath, trying to appear nonchalant. But as he brushed past them, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Taehyung, his heart racing. For a brief moment, their eyes locked, and Jungkook saw a flicker of surprise in Taehyung's gaze. But before Jungkook could muster the courage to say anything, he was already walking away, leaving Taehyung feeling bewildered.

Taehyung paused, confusion washing over him. "Did Jungkook just ignore me?" He turned back to Jimin, who was watching with a knowing smile. "What was that about?" Taehyung asked, his brows furrowing slightly. "I thought we had a moment yesterday."

Jimin chuckled, nudging Taehyung playfully. "Maybe he's just shy! You know how boys can be sometimes, especially with someone like you." He glanced back at Jungkook, who was now engaged in conversation with some other guys, his demeanor cool and aloof.

"But yesterday was different," Taehyung insisted, still trying to process Jungkook's behavior. "He looked at me, but then just walked past. It felt like he didn't even want to acknowledge me." There was a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Maybe he's just playing hard to get," Jimin teased, nudging Taehyung again. "Or maybe he's trying to figure out how to approach you without looking like a dork."

Taehyung rolled his eyes but couldn't help but smile at Jimin's playful banter. He wanted to understand Jungkook's feelings but felt lost in the midst of his own.

"Just give it time," Jimin said, sensing Taehyung's unease. "You'll figure it out. Who knows? Maybe he just needs a little more time to get comfortable."

As the day continued, Taehyung couldn't shake the confusion Jungkook's behavior had stirred in him. "Was he really just shy?" The encounter left him with more questions than answers, but one thing was certain: he wanted to find out more about the enigmatic boy who had captured his attention so effortlessly.

In the locker room, Jungkook found himself surrounded by his rugby teammates, their boisterous laughter echoing off the walls. They were all hyped up after practice, eager to discuss the latest game highlights and the upcoming matches. But as much as he enjoyed being part of the team, he felt an overwhelming urge to be alone.

"Come on, Jungkook! You've got to tell us how you pulled that girl's attention last week!" one of the guys teased, nudging him playfully. "All the girls in school are totally into you!"
