Chapter Eight

"Welcome back to Period Two!" Taehyung grinned, waving at their four friends as they walked in. He had convinced the fighting teacher to let them back into the strongest class if they had a bit of training after school as well.

"How can you welcome us back if we've never been here before?" Jeongguk laughed.

"They're back!" Taehyung shouted loudly, gaining the teacher's attention.

"Ah, Jimin, Jeongguk, Hoseok and Seokjin! Glad to see you boys!" The teacher grinned.

"Yoongi talks again!"

"Shut up." Yoongi rolled his eyes.

"See!"

"I hate you."

"You do not!"

"Then shut up."

"How come you're always so grumpy around everyone else?" Hoseok asked quietly, practically sticking to Yoongi's side, as he wasn't really as close with anyone else, besides the other five.

"Because most of you are younger than me. Plus I was just raised that way."

"I'm younger than you and you're nice to me."

"Cos you're a sunshine and you deserve good. I'm also not mean to Jimin. You two are sunshine's."

"I deserve good!" Taehyung pouted, crossing his arms.

"I've had to live with you for the past sixteen years."

"Seventeen. Also, so what!? That doesn't make me deserve any less!"

"Dear god you people don't take jokes." Jeongguk laughed, shaking his head. "You do realize he's just teasing you, right Hyung?"

"I don't like jokes like that," Taehyung pouted. "I've had too many people leave me or find me annoying."

"You guys make jokes like that all the time, though. Wouldn't you be used to it and know he's just teasing you by now? You've lived together for seventeen years I mean c'mon."

"I mean, I lived with my family for seven and look how that turned out."

"Seven and seventeen is a big difference, hyung."

"He got trust issues after everything happened with us four, didn't he...?" Hoseok trailed off a bit quietly. "He doesn't trust that people will stay..."

"Well I'm sure Yoongi and Namjoon hyung feel the same way, and if all three of them stayed together and helped each other out after all that I'd assume they'd have some trust in each other."

"Stop talking about this," Seokjin interrupted. "It's making them uncomfortable. Jimin nodded in agreement, clinging to his youngest friend's arm. Taehyung frowned a bit, not looking at the two and focusing on the other kids in the gymnasium.

"It's not that." Jeongguk blurted out, surprising himself a bit from the sudden outburst. "He's not used to a lot of people."

"What're you talking about?" Seokjin raised an eyebrow. "That came out of nowhere."

"Taehyung looked at Jimin and I and frowned, it doesn't take much to put two and two together."

"Ah."

"You noticed?" Taehyung asked, still not looking at the two.

"From the corner of my eye." The youngest noted, sighing afterwards and whispering something in Jimin's ear, causing the elder to go bright red and hit the taller male's arm.

"Ggukie!"

"What'd you say?" Taehyung looked at the two, frowning again at how they were positioned. They looked pretty much like a couple.
