JUNGKOOK POV

The next morning, Jungkook entered the school with the same smile he had gone to sleep with the night before. He couldn't wipe it off. He really was crazy about Taehyung.

Jungkook made it to his locker, putting his books inside. He caught a glimpse of his boyfriend and desperately wanted to be with him, but after the date, they had texted about keeping it a secret for a while. Taehyung didn't want Jungkook to worry about people finding out about him dating a guy, after preaching against homosexuality for so many years. Jungkook said he didn't mind, but he wanted Taehyung to feel comfortable, so he reluctantly agreed.

TAEHYUNG POV

Taehyung wanted to walk through the halls hand-in-hand with Jungkook, but he knew that it was his fault for deciding on letting Jungkook keep his reputation for a while longer. In all reality, Tahyung was worried that Jungkook would realize he didn't actually have feelings for the older and break up with him after a week or two. Pretty much everyone he has ever gotten close to has left, except for Jimin, but even Jimin isn't as close to Taehyung as he used to be.

He shrugged the bad thoughts from his mind and entered his history classroom. Jungkook was already sitting in his seat, and Taehyung gave a small smile before sitting in his seat.

The teacher entered, throwing her books angrily on the desk. "After grading your most recent assignments, I have decided that you all need more help on the last unit. So, I decided to give you another chance to learn the information before the exam next week." The class rolled their eyes. "In partners, that I will assign, you will follow the instructions on this paper, creating some sort of multi-media presentation with all of the information. You will have until the next Monday, so that you have the weekend to meet with your partner. Speaking of, here are your partners." The professor started naming off the partners, most earning a roll of the eyes. Taehyung and Jungkook alike were hoping to get the other like the last time, but that didn't appear to be the case. "Kim Taehyung, you will work with Oh Sehun."

"Oh fuck," Taehyung whispered. He glanced at Sehun, who eyed him back with a nasty smirk on his face.

"Okay class, you will get today to meet with your partners, and then the rest is at home so make sure to have your contact information! Get to work!" She sat down behind the desk and rubbed her temples.

Taehyung didn't get out of his seat, but he heard Sehun pull up a chair awfully close to the younger. "Well hello, Taehyung. This should be fun."

Taehyung averted his eyes, in a panic, before landing on Jungkook, who was looking back. "You okay?" Jungkook mouthed before Taehyung slowly shook his head.

"Let's just get this over with as soon as possible, Sehun."

"First, we should exchange phone numbers so we can reach each other." The older winked at Taehyung, causing him to flinch in disgust.

"Only for the project. If you text me about anything else, I will hurt you."

Sehun burst into laughter, earning a glare from the teacher, warning him to quiet down. "I would love to see you try to hurt me, Taehyung." He took out his phone and handed it to Taehyung, who hesitantly typed his number in, his hands shaking a little.

The boys started to work on their project. To Taehyung's surprise, Sehun actually helped out a lot, and wasn't terribly creepy, except for a few smirks sent in his direction.

As Taehyung left class, Jungkook snuck up next to him. "Are you okay?"

Taehyung nodded. "I will be. I just have to make it through this project and hopefully that will be it." He flashed a genuine smile towards the younger, who smiled in return.

"I'm glad. See you after school?" Taehyung nodded and watched as Jungkook walked off.

(After school)

Taehyung knocked on the door and waited for the person to answer. After waiting a while and not getting an answer, he knocked again. The door swung open and an arm yanked Taehyung inside and pressed him against the wall.

"Hello baby boy," Jungkook smirked before placing a peck on Taehyung's lips.

Taehyung giggled. "Hi Jungkook. So, why did you want me to come over today? I love being with you of course but I have homework to get to." Taehyung smiled.

Jungkook laughed at Taehyung's cuteness. "It was really so I can give you your daily kiss, since we agreed not to do anything at school."

Taehyung felt his pulse quicken and his face turn pink. He averted his eyes and looked at the ground, hoping to hide his blush. Jungkook took two fingers and raised up the other's head by the chin, smiling affectionately, keeping deep eye contact.

"I-I want-" Taehyung cursed himself for stuttering, but he blamed it on Jungkook's intense stare.

"What do you want baby?"

"I think another kiss wouldn't be a bad idea." Taehyung was proud of himself that time for not stuttering. Jungkook smirked before leaning in again.

This kiss was longer, but not rough like the ones in the bathroom were before they got together. It was slow, sensual. Taehyung could feel that Jungkook really cared for him through the kiss. His hands entangled themselves in the black locks, just to have something to grab onto. He could feel himself running out of air but he didn't want to break away.

He tried to breath through his nose, but it just made him laugh. Jungkook pulled back and watched as Taehyung hunched over, unable to stop laughing. Jungkook laughed along with him, but still with a questioning look on his face.

Taehyung just shook his head, continuing to laugh. Finally, he slowly stopped, before looking at Jungkook. "I really don't know what I found so funny but man I haven't laughed that hard in so long."

"I'm glad you found my kissing you so amusing, Taehyungie." Jungkook joked.

Taehyung's eyes went big and he reached a hand out to grab his boyfriend's. "Oh no! It wasn't that. Really. I love kissing you. There is nothing amusing about it."

"Relax, babe, I was just messing with you."

"Oh." Taehyung sighed in relief. "That's good." He felt his ears burning red at the pet name. "So, I should get home and work on my homework. I will see you at school tomorrow Kookie."

Jungkook smiled, earning a smile in return. "I will see you tomorrow baby." He kissed the older's cheek, causing both boys to blush a little, before Taehyung walked out the door and headed home.
