STRANGERS

Part 14 (caught?)

It was a quiet afternoon, and the usual hustle and bustle of the school corridors had been replaced with an odd stillness. Taehyung and Jungkook stood in Mr. Bang’s office, waiting for their teacher, who was currently on a call outside. Both were silently exchanging glances, the atmosphere thick with curiosity and a touch of unease.

Jungkook, normally the one to break the silence with some sort of cheeky remark, looking at Taehyung and shrugged with a mischievous grin. “kim just know this , if Mr. Bang scold me for unnecessary things, I might just annoy the crap out of him. Haven't picked a fight with anyone since I started hanging with you. I'm kind of itching for some chaos.”

Taehyung, who was far more calm and composed than Jungkook, tilted his head, still keeping his focus on the door. He wasn’t nervous for himself, but for Jungkook " Last time we almost got caught this time we have to be more careful" he thought seriously.

Meanwhile, Jungkook noticed Taehyung’s furrowed brow and the slight tension in his shoulders. “What’s up, Kim?” he asked, his voice a little softer than usual, trying to snap his Bestfriend out of his worried trance.

Taehyung blinked and look at him " Stay quiet for a second jeon"

Jungkook smiled slyly, stepping closer to Taehyung. “nahhh I won't, because you’re thinking too hard, maybe I should distract you?” He then try to act cute to distract him. Even though he was feeling embarrassed from deep inside he didn't stop cause he wanna distract Taehyung from unnecessary thoughts.

Taehyung rolled his eyes but couldn’t suppress the small smirk on his lips. "Cute? That’s the best you can do? You should’ve known by now, jeon, that ‘cute’ is just a word that means ‘not really threatening.’ But I guess for you, that’s still a step up.”

Jungkook pouted, his face falling dramatically.
“ asshole stop being so mean,” he groaned, slumping against Taehyung's shoulder in mock defeat. But deep down, he was relieved to see Taehyung’s usual teasing side return, which meant his bestfriend was doing okay.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Mr. Bang stepped in, finishing his phone call. Both Taehyung and Jungkook snapped to attention, as though the world had shifted back into focus.

Mr. Bang looked between the two of them for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. “kim,” he began, his voice steady but laced with an underlying curiosity, “i know Mr lee asked you to help Jeon with study stuff but day by day I'm noticing the changes in your and jeons behaviour"

Both boys froze at the mention of their names, but for entirely different reasons. Taehyung, trapped in Jungkook’s body, looked at Mr. Bang with a blank expression, while Jungkook, now in Taehyung’s body, almost immediately shot back with a sassy grin.

“Honestly, Mr. Bang,” Jungkook said, crossing his arms over his chest, his voice dripping with sarcasm, “I didn’t think it's any of your business, but since you asked, I’m just trying to have fun. Just because I'm the school genius doesn't mean I always have to act perfect.

Mr. Bang blinked, clearly shocked by the response coming from the "Taehyung". His gaze flickered between the two, trying to process what was happening. “taehyung, are you... you’re acting like this? I thought... Wait, no—” He fumbled for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. "Okay, this isn’t what I expected at all."

Taehyung, still in Jungkook’s body, couldn’t help but snicker at Mr. Bang’s expression. He was trying so hard to make sense of everything.

“mr bang” Taehyung finally spoke, his voice coming from Jungkook’s body, his tone oddly calm. “ people change it's not a big deal"
