ISSUES || Taegi

Chapter 7

Taehyung POV

The next few days of the week were spent the same way, Yoongi and I spending full lunches together working on our project. To be fair, I was having more fun than I had expected, he seemed completely different from what I had imagined. Yeah, he was very sarcastic and even mildly aggressive, but he was also really smart, like reaaaally smart, and sometimes there were these moments where I could tell somehow he was also having fun, he laughed and showed a genuine smile, his eyes squinted almost shut and his voice resonated louder than his usual one, even if it was still composed and lower than my own voice.

To say I tried to rush things was an understatement, I wanted that project practically done by Friday so that Yoongi wouldn't have to go to my house on the weekend. And somehow we made it, everything was done before the sweet release of that weekend, I could feel a whole weight get off my shoulders and I couldn't be more excited for our presentation on Tuesday, I was positive it was going to be great and I somewhat knew Yoongi was positive too, we had worked so hard and planned everything so well there was no way it could go wrong. Even if the project was over I couldn't help but feel a bit...sad? for some reason, I tried to shrug it off as another one of my awful behavior changes that had been occurring since that year started, but it felt different.

*************

On Monday I arrived at school, as usual, had my classes and everything, but I felt something was starting to change. That weekend I hadn't cried, not even a bit, and when I woke up that morning my body didn't feel as heavy as it usually felt, somehow I felt...brighter, almost as I used to feel before, not necessarily happy, but bearable, kind of ready to make my stupid jokes and out of place comments, kind of. 

During lunchtime, I was walking towards my table and could hear bickering from the distance, all of my friends were already there, old and new, and there I realized how much I had been loosing for drowning in my own darkness and self-pity all that time. It's not like I was magically better, but it almost felt like a lightning struck when I realized I had wasted a whole month of my life without noticing how life was changing around me. As I was finally reaching the table, with all those thoughts in my head, I heard what they were talking about.

"Oh, do you miss him? Is that why you agreed to work so hard on that project? Don't worry, your boyfriend will be here pretty soon"- Namjoon said with a funny voice clearly trying to annoy Yoongi, meanwhile, I was caught cold in my spot, boyfriend?

"Shut up Namjoon, we did one damn project together, if it were for that I could perfectly be annoying the fuck out of Jin and you because of that as well"- Yoongi spat out in a sarcastic tone, and even if his back was facing me I could picture him smirking as everyone else started laughing.

"H-hey Guys"- I said finally sitting down timidly next to Yoongi, everyone looked at me with a weird expression and started laughing, except for the guy I sat next to of course.

"Why so serious Tae? Why so nervous? Oh don't worry, we know you missed your boyfriend"- Hoseok said in a mocking manner whilst pointing towards Yoongi, all I could do was blush.

"Oh miss it, I would never be with Min here, we did a project together, that's about it"- I said trying to make the situation less uncomfortable and trying to brush off the fact I was embarrassed as fuck.

"Hey remember you honorifics, Kim"- Yoongi said looking at me with fake anger in his tone, almost with some sort of thankfulness present in his eyes.

"Sorry Yoongi Hyung, I got caught up with how much it would suck to be with you"- I said sounding fakely apologetic, in a fun manner of course, while doing the project Yoongi and I became closer and began talking to each other this way.

"Oh that's fine Taehyung, I wouldn't be able to cope with your airhead ass, but you know, never say never"- He said ironically winking at me as I just rolled my eyes.

It was at that moment that I realized everyone at that table was silent watching our interaction, well until Jungkook broke the silence and said something that made both Yoongi and me blush, even if I never expected to see that guy blushing.

"Guys get a fricking room you are not helping yourselves, you are just giving me more shipping material, you literally sound like a married couple"- My best friend said almost laughing to death as everyone else followed him.

"I don't know what kind of sick toxic relationships you've been in Jeon but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works, you should go see a psychologist or something"- Yoongi snapped in a funny manner and everyone laughed at that as well, even Jungkook, forgetting the previous topic.

The rest of the day went on normally, well except for the fact I couldn't take that whole interaction off my mind. All of our friends were bothering us because for some damn reason working on a project together is enough to pair us up, and it was quite peculiar, to say the least. To be fair I was unbothered, both Hoseok and Jungkook were avid shippers so I was kind of used to them doing this kind of stuff, but Yoongi, on the other hand, did seem kind of bothered even if he tried to shrug it off. I thought it was even kind of funny, I mean I had never given it a second thought but being with Min Yoongi would be catastrophic, I mean yeah for what he had shown he was kind of my type, but that was never good, and even if he could be kind of nice he was still an asshole. Anyway, why would he even like me? I mean we were completely different and once he saw my real self he would probably avoid me, he was too calm.

I didn't give the matter much thought after that, but I did ask Jungkook on the school bus why all of a sudden they started with the shipping party. What he answered was something I didn't really expect at all though...

Heeey, so I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, I thought it would be fun to make this subtle thing happen with the friends, and you'll get it better later. I don't really know if you like this fan fic or not, I know it's kinda shitty but oh well.
