The Package || Jinkook

Chapter 16

Hopelessly, Jungkook is forced to serve his detention with Jin. As Yoongi put it, 'If you ruin everything, why is Jin so happy with you as an assistant? Just work with him, you act like he hates you for getting drunk and worrying him. Just chill.'

And that's why he's sitting here, at the back of the class as far away as possible from the tall pink haired professor. Because unfortunately, he probably does hate Jungkook. At least that's what the young boy thinks.

As silence floods the classroom, the rest of the students taking a test, Jin walks around to observe his class as they scratch their heads and release random sighs of frustration. Art history, the subject of the test today. Jin tries to avoid Jungkook's desk at all costs but a student sitting right in front of the boy raises his hands to get the professor's attention.

"Damn it," Jin whispers as he rolls his eyes and makes his way to the back.

"Yes Wheein," Jin says through his breath, annoyed that he has to walk towards the boy he's been trying to avoid.

"My test doesn't have the painting printed on it. How am i supposed to interpret the painting, if it's not here?" She asks, attitude on full alert as usual. Jin rolls his eyes at the girl's sassy tone and looks onto the exam question and the large blank space that takes up most of the page. Shocked, Jin looks around at the other students.

One by one the students flip to the last page to check if they have the painting and begin agreeing with Wheein. Slightly embarassed, Jin walks to the front of the class and grabs his master copy to see if the printer didn't render the photo correctly, or if the master copy just didn't have it.

Its right here. What happened? Jin feels like such an idiot as he stands there and stares at the master copy. He should have checked the tests before handing them out.

"Uhhh well then. That's-"

"My bad, I completely forgot to post the photo on the master copy. I know you told me too but I was so busy with some other tasks that I forgot. I'll run and make copies right away." Jungkook says, trying to stop Jin from admitting his mistake and being embarrassed in front of the class. He walks to the front of the class and grabs the master copy from Jin, avoiding eye contact but shivering at the slight touch of their hands.

"Alright class, finish the other questions on the test while Jungkook is gone. If we don't have enough time in class to finish the photo analysis we'll leave it for tomorrow and I'll grade the assignments separately." Jin looks over at Jungkook and nods, a shy smile on his face. The younger boy bites his lip as he backs away towards the door, hand holding the master copy against his chest. 

Finally out the door Jungkook presses his back against the wall and lets out the breath he had been holding. He looks down at the Renaissance painting on the master copy and nods smacks his forehead. 

"Damnit" He whispers. It's in color. He can't print colored copies without a professor's printer code. He doesn't want to go back in and ask for Jin's. It took enough courage to defend him the way he did. 

Walking to the printing  room he prays that there's a teacher in there that can let him borrow their printer code. 

"Ah Jungkook! How are you?" Professor Namjoon asks.

"I'm good. Um... do you mind if I use your printer code? Jin, excuse me, Professor Seokjin asked me to print copies of this photo for a test and it needs to be in color." Jungkook asks, handing Projessor Namjoon the master copy.

"Oh Jungkook you can call him Jin. I know you guys are close. And you can just call me Namjoon. No need for formalities among friends. Unfortunately I ran out of credit for colored prints but I was just headed to Jin's classroom to pick up the clothes I... I mean... To pick up some documents. I'll get his number from him. Just wait here." Namjoon shuffles out of the room awkwardly, leaving Jungkook standing alone in the small closet sized room.

"Pencils down. Turn in your tests. You guys are dismissed. We will finish the rest of the test tomorrow."

What's taking Jungkook so long? He should have come back by now. The printer room is far but not that far. 

As the students shuffle out of the classroom, Namjoon walks in. Waiting till everyone is out, Jin goes over to his briefcase and pulls out Namjoon's stay over clothes that he had left at his apartment.

"So I ran into Jungkook in the printer room. You're right. He's kinda cute. Anyways, he needs your printer code. I ran out of credit on mine. I don't know why he didn't get it from you in the first place." Namjoon says nonchalantly.

"Oh, can you go give it to him?" Jin asks, writing it down on a piece of paper. Namjoon looks around before pressing himself against Jin as he's bent down over the desk. He nuzzles the crook of Jin's neck and kisses his goosebump riddled skin.

"Joonie not now. Just bring this to Jungkook please?" Jin states curtly, handing Namjoon the post it note and crossing his arms. He looks at the floor as Namjoon simply stands there in confusion. 

"Why can't you bring it to him?" Namjoon asks. "You know I have a class soon."

"Fine! I'll give it to him. You're no help." Jin pushes Namjoon out of the way and storms out of the room. Namjoon crosses his arms suspiciously.

"What is up with that man?"
