The rest of the weekend was a blur, nothing happened, Tao messaged Taehyung Sunday night saying he caught a cold and wouldn't be able to translate for him on Monday. In reality Tao is under going heart break and disbelief that for the past week he's been trying to get close to his basically client turned friend's boyfriend and he had no clue. He just thought they were close friends nothing more, at first he didn't even think they were that close. He thought Yoongi was the best friend but sitting in that coffee shop he found out he was wrong, he was living a lie. A lie he created. 

He saw Jungkook's smile and he thought he could maybe ask Taehyung enough about Jungkook to become actual friends with him. He thought maybe Taehyung would be the one to push them together. He was never a schemer but here he was making plans in his head. What made it worse was when he decided to ask Taehyung about their relationship, trying to find some kind of plug to it, trying to find their faults, trying to see if maybe their relationship was actually toxic, horrible maybe even fake. 

But all he found was how protective Jungkook is, how he analyzes everything too closely that half the time he's wrong. He found out about how Jungkook has fallen head over heals for Taehyung that he thinks anyone would take Taehyung away, he's a little kid causing ruckus because he cares too much. Jungkook is the type of lover who embarrasses himself in his childish actions of accusing people too soon over situations involving Taehyung. In realizing his faults Jungkook is improving and also learning sign language for who sounds like the love of his life. Maybe now Tao is over analyzing everything, taking Taehyung's simple words of stories of small things Jungkook has done or has said and stretching them out to be this huge love story of what could be mistaken as a rocky one when really it all goes down to being too in love. That's what is making Tao feel worse. He's making himself feel worse, to the point his mind is blurry, to the point that he can't focus, can't work. Wondering when it will be his turn. 

Sunday, Taehyung spent his day with his head on Jungkook's lap, asleep while Jungkook messed with his hair making it the messiest it has ever been. Placing small kisses on his forehead every other minute wondering if it would wake Taehyung up but not wanting to because he loves the way Taehyung breathes when he sleeps, he loves watching Taehyung's chest rise and fall every few seconds, he loves just knowing he's alive and breathing. But knowing Taehyung he knows that if he moves an inch Taehyug might instantly wake. Leaving Jungkook slightly uncomfortable in his stiff statue hours of watching his TV. 

At the same time Yoongi was with Jimin, his new friend who he feels he can tell anything to. They shared laughs, stories. Found connections, similar situations, weird friends, sad events, happy events. They even found out they loved going to the same stores, they even found out that they were in some of the same places at the same times. Jimin insisted they go to an amusement park but Yoongi was so focused on Jimin's face and his eyes that he didn't want to move from their spot in a booth inside of Jimin's fathers restaurant, it was closed and the only other person who passed through was Jin who went to grab something he left in the backroom, he didn't even stop to question them, he even locked the door on his way out so no-one would accidentally walk in and ruin the moment they were having. 

Today, Monday, the day Tao won't be there, Taehyung back to square one of struggling to see the board. But what no-one will expect are the cops inside the school. Jungkook has his arm around Taehyung's shoulders as they walk through the school's gates up to the door. He hears a lot more talking then normal, he sees people rushing inside like their was free concert tickets. Taehyung not hearing any of it thinks its a normal day. Jungkook takes his hand away from Taehyung's shoulders and takes his hand instead walking at a faster pace. Taehyung attempting to keep up but staying a bit behind, Jungkook's grips still tightly on Taehyung's hand. He sees the cops down the hall, he sees students trying to get closer but teachers trying to push them all away. So many people are whispering that it almost sounds like one huge scream. Jungkook thinks of covering Taehyung's ears but realizes its no use, his ears already lost the privilege of hearing. So he instead uses his free hand and places it against his right ear trying to block the amount of loud noise.
