Both of us | Kim Taehyung

Chapter 2

I stood there for a bit, looking at his back while he was walking away laughing with his friend before I turn away well and get something to eat.

I picked some salad and the woman there told me to try the chicken nuggets. Not that I had a choice cuz she had already fed a plate waiting for me to take it.

I walked back to the table where the girls were sitting just to see them all looking at me with that "oh really?" look.

I tried to ignore it hoping they would stop and sat on my seat leaving my salver on the table. But no. They were still looking at me waiting for an answer.

"I just bumped on him this morning" I said dipping a nugget in sauce "And now he's making fun of me with his friend" I mumbled and took a bite.

After that I could only hear Ella trying to get every last drop of her juice and I looked around. The girls were now eating. I guess my answer was good enough to make them stop.

"Meh.." Ella left the bottle on the table and turned to me. "I don't think he's making fun of you" she said and looked at me "But you better not spend your time on him" 

I wasn't going to or at least I hadn't though about it at this point. What she said tho made me curious. 

"Why's that?"  I asked her while I was eating my nuggets.

"Boys ain't worth our time." she said and laughed.

I chuckled and finished my nuggets. The woman was right, they were actually pretty good and my stomach was already full for the salad. I opened my juice and started drinking it when Lucy asked:

"Should we maybe go back to the class?" while she was packing her things.

"Sure, just let me go let my salver back." 

They had all packed their things when I was back and were waiting for me to leave. We were now walking on the hallway of the second floor where Lucy's class is. We left her there and went upstairs in our class.

I really like sitting in class on breaks. I like how quiet a room could be. I sat on top of my desk and Ella sat on my seat. 

"So who do you think is gonna come for this period?" I asked and yawed.

"I don't know but if the program starts from today you better keep your eyes on the board this whole period."

"I'm not really good at it to be honest."

"Well then..." she placed her legs on the seat of the desk right next to mine "Let's say that's not gonna be your favorite class." 

The bell rang after a while and everyone started coming in class. Ella talked to some people around my desk and she managed to get a desk next to mine.

A tall man with a brown suit walked in.

"Hello, for the ones who don't know me I'm Mr. Chuwon. I'm your math teacher." he said looking at me then sat down.

"He's scary isn't he?" Ella whispered chuckling leaned on my side.

"Not really." a guy from the desk behind mine said before I even answer.

"Oh Taehyung shut up, only Langevin likes you." 

"You know that's not true Ella. Everyone likes me." he said laughing quietly.

And that's when I turned back and looked at him. When did he even came here?

"Last time I checked you weren't the one sitting on that desk." I whispered to him.

"Well I just asked the guy who was sitting here if he would like to change. The view is better from here and I always forget my glasses." he said rubbing his right eye "Plus I'm closer to my friend" now pointing at Jimin. 

"Taehyung and Mattison!" I heard the teacher shouting. " You two go out."

"I was the one talking to her Mr. Chuwon." Taehyung tried to find an excuse.

"And she was the one who turned." 

"But it's the first day!" 

"Exactly, you had the whole summer to talk. Did you miss talking that much that you couldn't stay quiet for less than an hour?" he said turning back to the board and started writing again. "Now you two go out please." 

"Great." I mumbled and stood up making my way out of the class.

"And stay on the hallway."

We both walked out and stayed outside the class without talking. I started walking up and down the hallway waiting for the next break.

"At least he didn't make us stand on one leg."

"Thank God." I said sarcastically.

"Hey, it wasn't my fault. You were the one being occupied with who's sitting where."

"You were the one who started talking! Ella was talking to me. But of course it's my fault now."

"Fine! I'm sorry! Are you happy now?"

"Just don't talk to me! It hopefully won't be that long till break."

" It's about half an hour." 

"Whatever." I sat down with my back on the wall. I took out a marker from my pocket and redraw the flower I had drawn last nigh.

Since I moved I had to find another class for sketching but until then I would keep practicing. You could hear people talking from other classes but the hallway was quiet.

Then he started talking again.

"Can I at least know the name of the one I'm not allowed to talk to?"

I didn't answer and kept working on my drawing. He walked on the side of the hallway I was sitting and fell down next to me.

"You're not that grumpy all the time, are you?" he asked playing with the bracelets on his wrist.

I kept being silent and he poked my head.

"Answer me! Or I'm gonna go ask Mr. Chuwon." he said and stood up walking to the door.

"Geez! It's Netia. Can you stop being annoying now?" 

"Well Netia.." he walked back to my side again and held his hand out to me "Nice to meet you"

I looked up at him and then went back to my drawing without giving him my hand.

He sat down on the other side across me and didn't talk again until the bell rang.

Everyone got out of the class and then I stood up walking in to find Ella waiting for me. I sat on my desk and looked at her. 

"Told ya." 

I sighed "For a minute I thought I could have a calm and boring year." 

"Oh girl, not this time." she said laughing.
