BIPOLAR ( VKOOK ) // COMPLETED

CHAPTER 9

KIM TAEHYUNG P.O.V

I licked my lips unconsciously and got a basketball launched to my face. I growled as I tasted blood on my lips . I licked it and wiped the excess blood with the back of my hand . I looked at it , the red liquid stained my skin .

I looked around and saw a boy way taller than me laughing his head off . He was clutching is stomach in pain from laughing too much . I picked up the ball from the ground ad threw it at him weakly , it did not hit him and just rolled off to the other side .

I was going to kick the boy in the area when Jung kook held me back . He shook his head vigorously and in his hands were crumpled tissue papers .

"Don't ." he said softly , his eyes pleading .

"But he -!" I started , but Jung kook shushed me .

"You could have seen Flower Boy's reaction ! " He continued to mock me , making me boil in anger , I clenched my jaw and struggled to get out of Jung kook's grip .

"You better listen to the Class Pres ! " he mocked, his friends joined him . They were all cackling with laughter and I was getting angrier and angrier by the second . I clenched my fist until my knuckles turned white and my nails dug into my palm .

Jung kook dragged me far away from the boys who were still laughing . They really were ruthless as heck , the tallest , the one who smashed my face with a basketball, smirked and turned back to his gang .

"Don't care about them . " Jung kook said , wiping the dried blood from my face with the pad of his thumb and the tissues he had in his hands .

He gently wiped the tissue at my lips and at the bottom of my nose , frowning as he saw my nose was still bright red from the impact . I was pretty sure I looked like Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.

"Kang Chul ! " The coach yelled . " Detention , 2 hours . "

"See?" Jung kook said . " He got into detention . Problem solved . "

I couldn't help but smile at the boy , he seemed so innocent . But he caught me getting lost in his black eyes . It was just like staring into the night sky . He seemed to stop wiping my face and looked away , his dreamy eyes suddenly turned stone cold , lifeless even . I regretted getting lost in his eyes fro so long , I just wanted to see his much lighter side again .

But the scars , the red lines were visible at his collar bone at his slightly-too-big basketball jersey . It was creeping up his neck like a creeper on a wall . I pushed me away lighting and stuffed the bloodied tissue in his shorts pockets .

"Confess to himmmmmmmmm." Hoseok cooed . Mark joined in with his cooing which annoyed me .

~~~~~TIME SKIP ~~~~~

The last class of the day , Biology . It was the last class and the teacher was droning on and on, in front of the whiteboard . I somehow was able to take own notes alongside with Jung kook . The black haired boy was focused in his work and the lecture that he did not realize that I stole a few glances at him . He reached out of his book bag which was the situation in between our tables .

I reached down to grab Hoseok's notes from my bag when our hands touched .

Again , Jung kook has cold hands . Pale white skin and also a slight shiver from him . I quickly grabbed the notebook and retracted my hands , he quickly took out his Biology textbook . He buried his face into it , hiding his face .

"Taehyung , I am in front of the class , not beside Jung kook ." The teacher scolded , whacking my head with the file in her hands she was carrying .

I scoffed and blushed , cheeks heating up . I could hear some giggles from the girls behind me and boys laughing behind my back . I shot them a glare and they immediately stifled their laughter upon command . I scoffed and turned my attention back to the class . Th teacher droned on and I noticed that I have been glancing at the clock every five minutes . Time seem to pass by really slowly when I was sitting in class , trying to get good grades . I rested my head on the palm of my hand and sighed .

They teacher droned on , trying to cram in at least ten facts in my mind in the little time we had in class . The bell suddenly rang and teacher assigned homework . 

"Complete worksheet one and two by tomorrow , " she ordered , adjusting her glasses , as if right on cue , the whole class murmured complaints and stuffed their book into their bags . Jung kook did the same , throwing his textbooks into his book bag and pushing in his chair . He seemed to leave in a hurry as he rushed out of the class . Girls were strolling behind him like some kind of god that needs to be worshiped , Jung kook just quickened his pace , wanting the girls to get lost . 

"Hey , Kookie ," I said , catching up to him . 

"Who is Kookie? " He asked , raising an eyebrow at me . I wrapped my arms around him and he looked away , his cheeks red from the skinship . 

"Kookie is you . I gave you a nickname ." I smiled , still hugging him as we walked towards the school gate . "Where are you going ?"

"Home," he whispered , trying to push me away but clung onto him like some kind of baby koala. "I need to get there fast ..."

"Okay , but give me your number first," I said , loosening my hug and I made my way to face him . He gave a weird look , his facial expression was unreadable . "Payback for giving you a cute nickname . "

"Rude." Jung kook commented , grabbing my phone from my hand and quickly typed in his digits onto my contacts list . " Don't demand everything , Mr.Your Highness ." 

He growled as I gave him one last hug before waving goodbye at the cute younger . He sprinted back home as if there was something urgent to take care of. However , the night was not the one I anticipated for . Just head home , Lunch , Homework , shower , dinner ,and sleep . It wasn't the usual after-school life I was going to have, though . 

~~~~~TIME SKIP ~~~~~  

After having lunch , I was amidst of writing my Biology worksheets , referring to the notes that Hoseok gave to me and the notes I took down in class . I was finishing up the last question of the first worksheet when my phone buzzed . I immediately checked the message ,  my heart was thumping wildly as Jung kook was the one who sent it . I tapped on it and the message app pops up .

JK : Tae .

JK : Hold on , I will call you . 

I stared at the screen for a few seconds before going over to the door and closed it . I , for soem odd reason , locked it too . I heard my phone rang and buzz in my hands , I quickly picked up the anticipating call from Jung kook . 

"Hello ?" I greeted .

"T-tae?" Jung kook's voice spoke through the speaker . He sounded really broken and in pain , there were also small sniffling and hiccups .

"Jung kook , what happened to you ?" I asked , worried . 

"T-tae ... Can I stay at your place for to night ...?" He requested in a  small voice , I immediately said yes . What happened to Jung kook ? 

"I will pick you up ." 

"I-I am a-already h-here ..."
