CATFISH ~ taekook

Part 3

yo. school is messing with my brainnnnn i can't deal. i literally have piles & piles of homework every night & i honestly don't know how i haven't collapsed from exhaustion yet. if anyone wants to take all my classes for me, be my guest:)

also, before we get into this chapter, i would just like to mention that nAmJoOn is an actual gOd.

all of them are! every single one of them, but namjoon's speech at the UN was just so inspirational & i've cried every time i've watched it😭 also, when they performed & talked on jimmy fallon i squealed like a 5-year old who woke up to find presents from santa on christmas morning.

truly a gOD🙏

ok enough chit chat. time to readddddd:)

(Jungkook POV)

The door to Jungkook's bathroom stall flew open and all he could do to hide from the intruder was hug himself and close his tear-filled eyes.

"Oh shit sorry man. Didn't know you were in here." The stranger apologized before shutting the door and retreating to find an empty stall.

Jungkook didn't even get a good glimpse at the guy because he was too busy internally beating himself up over his dumbass feelings.

Why can't I just be normal like everyone else? Taehyung probably isn't even gay and if he ever found out I was and that I liked him, he would hate me. God I'm hopeless.

Realizing how pitiful he looked, he forced himself to stop crying and grabbed some toilet paper to rub his eyes.

After feeling like he was composed enough to face the public, he stood from where he crouched on top of the toilet and exited the bathroom.

Outside, he saw Namjoon at the entrance to the cafeteria, waving to someone who had just walked in.

As Jungkook got closer to him, Namjoon turned and met his eyes.

"Kookie! Are you ok? We just saw you walk into the bathroom crying." He said with a concerned smile.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just stressed about school. Wait a minute, you said 'we'?" Jungkook responded, suddenly worried that people would think he's a crybaby.

"Oh yeah. This guy named Hoseok and his friend that I just met. They're really chill, although I'm a little confused about why they just left so quickly...." Namjoon's voice trailed off and before he could continue, Jungkook just smiled and waved, leaving to go find Jimin.

When he finally managed to find his pink-haired friend, he was talking to Yoongi about something and both of them seemed to be slightly flustered with one another.

"Jimin." Jungkook said quietly once he approached the two shorter boys.

Almost as soon as Jimin saw the puffiness around Jungkook's eyes, his smile faded.

"Jungkook! Are you ok? Yoongi I'm sorry I'll see you around later ok? I think Hoseok was looking for you anyways." Jimin politely told Yoongi, while leaving his side to wrap his arm around Jungkook's shoulders.

Yoongi just nodded and turned into the next hallway.

"Alright Kookie, let's go get lunch."

Jimin lead Jungkook in the direction he had just come from and when they made it to the entrance of the cafeteria, Namjoon was no longer there.
