"Beyond the Spectrum" VKOOK

8.

Authors POV:

"Now, Hiroshima, was in my opinion one of the worst examples of nuclear warfare. Pearl Harbor is next on that list. It goes hand in hand with war. We all have some type of war going on, be it physical, political, emotional or mental. There's even war in business. Since the beginning of time, we've had war with each other and ourselves. It begin with Adam and Eve and has continued through time. Business can help stop wars too. There's even wars in the music industry."

Hoseok was sitting on a beanbag, surrounded by his students in a group discussion. Economics was the main discussion. Business.

"I want to help you guys better understand the business world. War is a very real issue you will have to face, wherever you go. I want you guys to know the tips and the ins and outs of business. You will succeed if I have anything to do with it."

"What's one thing you guys would do with a business? Jun?"

"I'd start a business to help the homeless veterans and the starving children," Jun said.

"That's a good idea. Who else?"

"I'd start a clothing business where I recycle old clothes and donate it," Jimin said.

"Very good. Who else?"

Jungkooks POV:

Walking down the hall, Jimin was telling me a story about him and Yoongi, his boyfriend. Something about a trip to Tokyo. I wasn't paying attention really, too busy searching for Taehyung in the crowd. Here recently, all I can think about is Taehyung and when I get to see him when he's not there.

Jimin was just getting to the good part of his story when I saw Taehyung. Smiling wide like a kid on Christmas, I run towards him, forgetting Jimin. He catches me when I reach him and hugs me. I love his hugs so much.

I kiss his cheek and his lips, showing him that I missed him. This is how we communicate without speaking. It's our way of communicating, anyway. I've never been comfortable verbally saying "I love you." This is the closest I'll get to verbalizing these words.

"Hey, babe," he smiles at me. Gosh, he has the most beautiful smile. "Happy to see me? I'm honored."

"Excuse me, but I was speaking. How rude of you," Jimin says coming up behind us, pouting at me. "I deserve your attention too, Kook!"

I was too busy playing with Taehyung's hair to hear Jimin. I couldn't help it, Taehyung always hade my full undivided attention.

"Don't be sour Jimin, he just loves me more," Taehyung giggles.

"Well, he is technically your boyfriend at this point. It makes sense," he said with a sarcastic smile.

I felt Taehyung kiss my neck and laugh at Jimin.

"If it makes you feel better, Kook and I are going to my grandmas tonight. She's making soup and cinnamon rolls for Kook. You're more than welcome to come with us, Grandma has been missing you," Taehyung said to Jimin who instantly smiled.

"Yeah, at least she loves me more than my supposed best friend."

Taehyung drove me home after school to get my bag of clothes and to greet my siblings. They always get excited when Taehyung comes over, even though he's always with me.

Once we said our goodbyes, we headed towards his house. His grandma was in the kitchen stirring the soup when we got there. Taehyung left me in the kitchen to go put my bag in his room.
