"O-Ow, J-Jungkook it hurts!" Taehyung groaned and tried to free his wrist from the younger boy's grasp as they walked down the empty hallway. "I-I'm sorry for what happened earlier!"

"Sorry?" Jungkook mocked. "You flirted with Jin hyung right in front of me, and you're sorry?"

Finally, they reached the room that was highly present in their relationship. The janitor's closet.

"All he did was he pinched my cheek and ruffled my hair while calling me cute, how is that flirting? Besides, he's my best friend," Taehyung bit his lip, he knew it was no use arguing with Jungkook. After all, the younger boy always won. "The only guy who talks to me."


"But the stare you gave him was different, hyung!" Jungkook huffed in jealousy, eyeing the older with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "How can you hurt me like this?"

'No, how can you hurt me like this.' Taehyung thought to himself, but his words only remained unspoken as he kept his silence. "Jin hyung knows I'm single. Actually, majority of the school does. Everybody thinks that nobody would date 'Taehyung, the weird guy in class who always plays with his ball point pens'. Only we know about this secret relationship. Why can't we be official?"

"Taehyung..." Jungkook whispered in a sweet tone as he let go of his hyung's strained wrist and placed both of his hands on Taehyung's cheek in an apology."I'll find the courage to open up to everybody... soon, okay?"

Jungkook was always been with the popular and cool kids in the school, namely, Namjoon, Hoseok and Yoongi. They basically ran the school with their rules, and people liked seeing them walking down the halls like they're kings of the city. Taehyung however, was labeled as the school's weirdo, an awkward oddball that no one understood.

It was your typical cliche romance story. Of course, the younger fell for his weird attitude. And not only that, Taehyung was the first person who talked to him the first day he went here on the new school, before he was known as the famous guy with a sexy stare.

Soon after the cool guys noticed Jungkook for his handsome face, charming smile, and extraordinary  talent and always praised by the teachers in class, he got tempted by these boys' fame, and now he got it as he became an offical part of their squad.

Though in exchange, Taehyung had to be his little secret.

Their relationship had one specific rule.

Never. Tell. A. Soul.

However, this insensitive rule of Jungkook left a pain on Taehyung's heart.

"T-Then I'll try to avoid Jin hyung and tell him to stay on his lane," Taehyung sighed with a heavy heart. "But in exchange, can you stop wrapping your arms on random girls in our class?"

Jungkook lightly groaned and removed his warm hands from Taehyung's cheek to cross his arms.

"You know I can't do that. Hoseok hyung would call me laugh at me and my friends would suspect me if they see that I don't take interest in girls. I hope you understand, hyung."

"Why is it okay for you to hold someone else in your arms when you get mad at me if I do the same?!" Taehyung exclaimed, he knew it was wrong to shout at Jungkook all of a sudden, but his negative emotions are overwhelming him.

"Tae, I didn't become your boyfriend to see you cheating on me! I see a reason for me to do it, but I don't see why you should."

"... and I didn't become yours to be kept a secret." Taehyung softly whispered as a reply. Maybe he was wrong, maybe he should just be patient and understand where Jungkook is coming from. But he just can't.

"Chin up, baby," Jungkook said on a calming tone. "I'm sorry."

He pressed a sweet chaste kiss on Taehyung's lips, and of course, the older one returned it happily.

Taehyung loves him, he loves him so much that he doesn't care even no matter how much Jungkook hurts him.

"I love you, Jungkook." Taehyung said with all his sincerity when he pulled out from the kiss.

"Mmm."

Was all he got in return.

"Taehyung! You're late!" Seokjin, who was more known as Jin, greeted with a smile. He's that kind soul which everybody in the class liked. Next to Jin was another guy Taehyung never saw before.

"Hello, hyung. Fancy meeting you here," Taehyung bowed at the him. Of course he got late, Jungkook told him to wait five minutes before going out of the closet so people won't suspect anything, like always. "Who is this?" he asked, pointing at the guy who caught his attention.

"Well yeah, fancy. I didn't expect you to be here in english class," Jin said sarcastically, accompanied with a laugh at the end. "Oh and this is the new guy. While you were not here, Miss Ahn introduced him to class. You're lucky she went out to get her books. Say hello." Jin explained as he tapped the new guy's shoulder, making him remove the earphones that were plugged in on his ears on reflex.

At first the guy was confused, but after seeing Taehyung, he finally got a hunch of what's happening.

"I'm Park Jimin!" the transferee greeted and shook Taehyung's awaiting hand.

Jimin's eye smile looked so genuine that it made Taehyung's face heat up. This is what he liked about people, when they show their true emotions right in front of him.

"Kim Taehyung," He introduced himself as he shook back the other's hand. "I hope you'll enjoy this school."

"Already am," Jimin chuckled. "This school is filled with bright people, or I just probably started with the two of you."

"How is school treating you so far?" Jin asked as he double checked if their subject teacher was nearby, thank goodness she wasn't, there was still more time to talk.

"I-I get lost most of the time." Jimin rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "But I'm pretty sure I'll get used to it in a few days."

"What if Taehyungie here show you the campus later? He's always walking around, he probably knows even the secret routes that teachers themselves don't. What do you say, Tae?"

Taehyung released an awkward laugh as he unintentionally locked eyes with someone at the back.

Jungkook glaring at him. With a girl classmate sitting on his lap.

It made him jealous, but what can he do?

He looked back at Jimin staring at him with hopeful eyes, he can't say no to a kind new guy who only wanted to explore a new environment.

"O-Of course." he smiled at him gleefully.

Though deep inside, he was in sorrow.
