Lost Love [ Taekook FF ]

Chapter 25

The cafeteria buzzed with the usual lunchtime chaos as Jungkook and his friends sat around their table, laughing loudly as they took turns teasing each other, trading goofy stories and jokes.

But then something caught Jackson’s eye, and he almost choked on his drink. “Hold up… is that… Kim?” he mumbled, his eyes widening.

Everyone turned toward the entrance, where Tae,Mark, and Lisa had just walked in, and Jungkook’s face immediately split into a wide grin. But the rest of the group was staring, open-mouthed, not at Tae but at his outfit.

Jungkook grinned, unable to hide his delight as he watched Taehyung’s eyes widen in shock. Taehyung's gaze locked onto Jungkook’s outfit: the same oversized beige sweater and ripped black jeans. Jungkook threw him a quick wink, his eyes sparkling with mischief. So that’s why I didn’t see him this morning, Taehyung thought, slowly piecing together Jungkook's little scheme.

“Did you plan this, you sneaky devil?” J-Hope smirked, nudging Jungkook with his elbow.

Jungkook tried to play it cool, shrugging. “Me? No way! Just a total coincidence. I mean, it’s not like I know every single thing in Taehyung’s closet or anything.”

“Sure, sure, Mr. Coincidence,” Jackson snickered. “Matching outfits? You’ve gone full cheesy.”

J-Hope let out a snort. “Yeah, sure. Coincidence my left foot."

Jungkook tried to act casual. “What? I just happen to know good style when I see it.”

Namjoon raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Good style? You mean taehyung's style?”

As they were laughing and teasing, kai almost spilled his drink, shouting, “No way!” he burst out in laughter, looking at yoongi and then at his back.

They all turned to see where Kai was looking and found Jimin standing beside tae, his face a picture of annoyance. But what really caught their attention was that Jimin was wearing a black top paired with a black and yellow checkered shirt, matching with Yoongi who's wearing white top and black and grey checkered shirt.

“Look at this!” Jin laughed, pointing at Jimin and Yoongi. “It’s like a fashion nightmare! Did you plan this too?” he pointed at yoongi.

Yoongi, sitting beside jackson, equally shocked, blinked at Jimin. “I did not agree to this!”

Jimin threw his hands up, practically fuming. “I can’t believe I’m matching with my enemy! This is the worst! Why are we twinning, meow meow?”

“Hey, it’s not my fault you decided to dress like a checkered disaster!” Yoongi shot back, crossing his arms defensively.

Laughter erupted from Jungkook's group, and they leaned into the teasing. “Maybe you two are just destined to be a couple!” Jackson shouted, pretending to swoon.
