Taehyung took a deep breath in order not to freak out. This day was already enough disastrous and he didn't want to make it even worse.

"And then I said to that old woman-"

"Hoseok, listen, um... stay here and wait for the boys, I have to do something." - Taehyung cut Hoseok off in the middle of his sentence. Hoseok was talking about a weird situation he had at a supermarket with an old woman who wanted to punch him with her walking stick.

"B- but, wh- where are you going?" - Hoseok switched his laughing face with a very worrying one in a second.

It was already late. Taehyung was already on half of the way to the entrance door.

"Don't make even more mess today, ok?!" - Hoseok shouted with his hands being in the "O" shape over his lips in order to be louder. Taehyung apparently didn't hear it or maybe he just didn't mind.

In the moment he approached the group where Jungkook was, he gulped nervous one more time, but still deciding to say something.

"Um.. Hey. You," Taehyung raised his voice a bit, not to much, he didn't want to sound rough, but rather to be heard because the girls were laughing and giggling so loudly, Jungkook was barely able to notice anything or anyone outside of his group "can you come for a second?"

The handsome boy turned around, noticing someone was talking to him. When he saw who that person was, his reaction was no different than that Taehyung had few minutes before.

The boy lost his smiling face in a second and nervously looked Taehyung in the eyes.

"Um.. sure." - He hesitated for a second, but decided to get closer to the boy.

Taehyung made one step closer to the boy, not wanting others to hear what he had to say.

"Um.. it's weird seeing you here.. in my school... at school in general, but anyways... do you have few minutes, I know your probably going home or somewhere with your friends, but I'd really like to talk with you about... so much things.." - Although he made a very awkward and unclear approach, Taehyung managed to tell the point.

Jungkook's eyes shone in disbelief at the words he heard. He was as equally shocked and confused as Taehyung.

"May I ask why?" - Jungkook raised his eyebrow hoping the boy will say "whatever" or "it doesn't matter" and turn around.

"Well.. you'll agree that I can't explain to you why and  about what I want to talk to you here among all of your friends and all the people, so it'd be better if we go somewhere else." - Even though he didn't mean to, Taehyung sounded rough and cocky indeed.

Caught off the guard, Jungkook was left helpless. He first looked to the left and then to the right with his eyes facing the ground and just nodded.

Jungkook turned around and smiled to his friends, signaling he will be going somewhere with this unknown dude.

Moments later and the boys were already outside the school yard. Taehyung was walking with his hands in a pocket while Jungkook was nervously squeezing the straps of his backpack.

"I couldn't ever believe I'd see you in my school... According to your uniform, you go to my school, right.."
Jungkook could make up a lame excuse because their school uniform don't lie.

"Yeah... Actually, um... yeah."

"Can I ask you one question?" Taehyung asked still not feeling comfortable to look at the boy "Why do you work at such place that's so far from your home?"
