Veil of Shadows

chapter 42:- prank

One afternoon, a new teacher, Miss Choi, joined the college, and it didn't take long for her to notice Taehyung’s charm and good looks. She started openly flirting with him, leaning close when they talked, complimenting his outfit every day, and even bringing him little treats.

Taehyung was polite but kept his responses minimal, trying to be friendly without encouraging her. Jungkook, however, noticed every little interaction. Although he remembered his promise to Taehyung not to confront anyone out of jealousy, he couldn’t ignore the situation. So, he came up with an idea—a prank that would both make her think twice about flirting with Taehyung and keep things light-hearted.

The next day, Jungkook waited for Miss Choi to head out of her classroom for a break, and as soon as she left, he quickly entered the room and set his plan into motion.

“Alright, Miss Choi, let’s see if you still want to flirt with my Tae after this,” he muttered to himself with a mischievous grin.

He started with a classic: a small airhorn attached to the back of her desk drawer, so when she’d pull it open, it would blast a loud honk through the room. Then, he put a little dish of baking soda in her coffee mug, knowing she’d probably go for her drink as soon as she sat back down. And to top it off, he added a bit of powdered itching powder on her chair—just enough to make her uncomfortable.

Taehyung caught him sneaking out of her room and raised an eyebrow. “Kook, what did you do?” he whispered, amused but curious.

“Just watch. You’ll thank me,” Jungkook said, trying to hide a smirk as he led Taehyung to a nearby spot where they could see her without being seen.

A few moments later, Miss Choi returned to her classroom, coffee in hand, looking pleased as she settled back into her chair. The moment she leaned forward to open her desk drawer, the airhorn blared, startling her so badly she almost spilled her coffee. She yelped, looking around in embarrassment, hoping no one had heard, and quickly reached for her coffee to calm herself down.

Jungkook covered his mouth to muffle his laughter, while Taehyung gave him a disapproving look, though he was clearly amused. “Kook, really?” he whispered.

“Wait, it gets better,” Jungkook replied, barely containing his glee.

Miss Choi took a sip of her coffee, but as soon as she tasted it, her face twisted in confusion and disgust. The baking soda had given it a strangely fizzy taste, and she nearly choked, setting her mug down in horror. Now visibly flustered, she adjusted herself in her chair, only to start shifting uncomfortably as the itching powder began to work its magic.

Taehyung raised a brow, trying not to laugh. “You really went all out, didn’t you?”

“Hey, she was getting a little too friendly with you,” Jungkook replied innocently, watching as Miss Choi squirmed, desperately scratching her arms and looking around, clearly confused and uncomfortable.

Just then, a student walked in to ask her a question. She tried to keep her composure, but the itching was getting to her. She finally excused herself, practically running to the bathroom.

Taehyung shook his head, chuckling. “You know she’s probably going to be suspicious.”

Jungkook shrugged. “Let her wonder. Maybe next time she’ll think twice before flirting with you.”
