Honestly, (Taekook)

22

                    

Jungkook couldn't stay focus during the whole class. Unlike all his classmates, his canvas was empty. He kept on staring at the man standing behind the desk. He clenched tightly his pencil while glaring at him. Why would he be here ? His friend, Yugyeom elbowed him softly. 

"What's wrong ? You didn't even start your draft." He said. 

Jungkook simply sighed. He couldn't waver anymore. Even there was Taehyung near him, he have to keep on walking and build that good life.

"Sorry, I am not so inspired, "

Yugyeom chuckled, which made Jungkook quirk an eyebrow.

"Man, we just have to draw our neighbor, what inspiration?" 

Jungkook scratched the back of his neck. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even hear the instructions. 

"Wait, I have no one to draw," Jungkook informed. 

His friend shrugged his shoulders and Jungkook sighed once again. He looked through the window for a moment and as he turned his head, his eyes met Taehyung's brown ones. It was just an instant but he felt his whole body tensing and warming. Taehyung's strong gaze melted the coldness in his heart. The new art teacher approached him with each step he took, Jungkook found himself pressing harder his back on the wooden stool. When Taehyung stood beside him, his mind was having an emotion battle. He should stay cool and pretend to never encountered him before, that would be the best solution for now. 

"What is your name?" the teacher asked. 

Jungkook was surprised to see that Taehyung was the one pretending to not know him. He felt defeated. 

"Jeon Jungkook," he answered bluntly. 

"I see, Jungkook-sshi, why your canvas is empty?" 

Taehyung talked while keeping the eye contact with Jungkook. He couldn't answer him as he felt so small under his gaze. The man before him was not the Taehyung he knew. He didn't look like  the guy who drink like a fish. It wasn't the man who acted like a whimsical child. It wasn't the guy who  he kissed because he found him cute. Not at all. There was an oppressive atmosphere around him. He was wearing a light blue shirt with a snake imprinted on the collar, and black chino trousers. There was a lot of changes. 

"He is tired, sir" Yugyeom replied instead, trying to save his friend from getting any detention. 

"Tired? Well Jungkook-sshi I would like to see you at the end of the class so you can explain everything to me,"

The older went back to his seat. Jungkook could swear he saw a smirk on his lips. 

At the end of the class, Jungkook dragged Yugyeom with him to see Taehyung but the latter asked for Yugyeom to leave. 

"I'll wait for you at the dorm," his friend informed. 

Taehyung stood up from his desk chair and after checking that there was no people in the corridors, he closed the classroom door. Jungkook was getting nervous. 

"Can you be quicker, I have work," Jungkook complained.

Taehyung hummed and stood before Jungkook, analyzing him fro m head to toe. He noticed that his hair color changed and that he was wearing more ear piercing. But his eyes stayed the same, the one that scared him yet cared for him. 

"This isn't how you should speak to your teacher," 

Jungkook sighed. He was wondering why Taehyung would act this way. 

"Drop your act please, why are you here first?"

Taehyung turned his gaze and leaned his back on the wall.

"Why ?"

Jungkook couldn't keep up with his play. It made him remember the times when he wanted to ridicule the younger in front of his friends. 

"You can't fool me anymore, I am not that naive," 

"I don't know what you are talking about, Jungkook-sshi,' 

It was too much for the younger. He held the elder by the shoulder and pushed him violently against the wall, making him wince in pain. 

"You can't ruin my life anymore," he said, looking straight into Taehyung's eyes.

Taehyung chuckled which made the younger raise an eyebrow.

"You are the one ruining your own life,"

"What?"

Taehyung removed the younger's hands from his shoulders and walked away. 

"You say you hate me then you kiss me and touch me. The next day, you are gone. You just wanted to check that you really won the game. That day, you came to hurt me so you can leave peacefully. Isn't that unfair Jungkook?"

The younger was speechless. He couldn't believed what he heard. He couldn't believe the fact that the elder had such thoughts about him. 

"I never-"

Taehyung put a finger on Jungkook lips. 

"You won Jungkook. From the beginning you won."

Jungkook was getting more confused. 

"I wanted to tease you. You who would always smile to others and never show your weakness. Yet, you would sometimes look at the sky so sadly. I was curious about you and can you imagine how much happy I was when I found out that you were Shin's friend? I couldn't wait to talk to you and know more about you. But..."

"But you were scared. You were scared because of your friends. You were scared because you are Kim Taehyung."

The elder averted his eyes from the younger's one. The truth was spoken and it hurt him as well. In his third year at high school, he saw Jungkook sleeping on the school rooftop. He couldn't remove his eyes from him. He looked so mysterious and captivating. Yet there was something innocent which made him eager to know the boy. 

Jungkook approached him and lifted the elder's chin to make him look at him. 

"You are such a coward Kim Taehyung"

"I know," 

The young closed the gap between their lips with a passionate kiss. He tasted every bit of Taehyung's lips. Their wet lips moved perfectly in synch. Soon, Taehyung found himself on Jungkook's lap as he sat on the teacher's chair. Taehyung passed a hand trough Jungkook's hair and held the roots softly. Out of hair, they broke the kiss. 

"I didn't expect this," Taehyung said. His lips were swollen and his cheeks had a pink tint on them. 

"Me neither, but,"

Jungkook pushed Taehyung out of his lap, grabbed his bag and advanced towards the door. 

"Honestly, I still hate you,"

"Yah Jungkook! Until when are you going to hate me?"

"Until your face and name belong to me," Jungkook mumbled as he exited the classroom.
