The Ugly Boy's Makeover || Vmon ||

Chapter 16

Hoseok wasn't at all sure about Jimin's plan but went along with it anyway. What could he possibly lose from trying? They watch on as both Jungkook and Taehyung walk through the hallways together. Their hands connected as passing by students greet them, more so Jungkook.

The younger would nod, raising his free hand every so often to wave at the many adoring fans of his while Taehyung took to staring at the ground, a small smile evident on his lips.

It almost pained Hoseok to see how happy Taehyung was being by Jungkook's side. How he was so unaware of what was really going on behind the scenes.

"How are we gonna stop him from going?" Hoseok murmurs, glancing over at Jimin who looks to be deep in thought. "We just have to make sure that Jungkook doesn't ask Taehyung to go. I guess we have to distract."

Before Hoseok has a chance to vocalise his opinion on the idea, Jimin's already making his way towards the couple. "Yo Jeon!" He yells out, catching Jungkook's attention. "Ey! Jimin hyung!" The brunette hollers out as the elder walks closer.

But things didn't go to plan since Jiae suddenly appears out of nowhere. "Jiminie!!" She cheers, throwing herself all over the boy. The blonde haired male groans slightly, annoyed that Jiae would show up right in the middle of his plan. "I haven't been able to find you lately," she pouts before pulling the boy closer so that her cherry red lips are beside his ear. "Why don't we go somewhere more private? Hm?"

As tempting as it was for Jimin, he knew he had to stop Jungkook first. So instead, he lightly pushes Jiae off of him. "Sorry, I actually have to go somewhere with Jungkook right now." Jungkook gave his friend a look of confusion as Jimin grabs the brunette, causing him to fully let go of Taehyung's hand.

Taehyung glances down at his slowly wriggling fingers, feeling the awful sense of coldness take over from Jungkook parting. Jimin began yanking the younger down the hallway, not even giving him a chance to protect.

Instead, Jungkook just turns his head back enough to see Taehyung as he yells out, "I'll come find you later Taehyung! I have something I want to ask you anyway!" Hoseok observed with worry laced in his orbs. How in God's name were they going to keep the pair away from each other long enough.

Now being left alone, Taehyung sighs as he shuffles to his class. Hoseok watched on with sadness in his eyes. It hurt him to see Taehyung so down in the dumps yet he knew, he wasn't ready to forgive him. Not yet. Not when he still sees Jungkook like a God.

Taehyung sat alone in the library, it was the first time in a very long time that he found himself in here. Yet, he could still feel the statuary that it brings to him whenever he steps foot inside.

Truth was, he didn't really have anyone around to talk to. Hoseok was clearly pissed off at him and Taehyung was currently trying to steer clear of Namjoon like he was some deadly disease. At least until his heart stops acting crazy whenever the older's around.

It was plain out silly now. Taehyung knew that Namjoon was only being kind and looking out for him despite not actually having to do so in the first place. But Taehyung's heart seem to think otherwise of the kind elder's gestures. Slowly but surely, his heart was falling and he knew he didn't want the rest of him to go down the same direction with it.

Sighing quietly, he flickers the book's old and flimsy page that was in his grasp. His silver hair glistens against the burning sun that was glaring in through the clear glass window that sat beside him.

He missed his friends. It was the first time he could really say he has friends yet in the end, he couldn't seem to keep them. It saddened him how upset Hoseok got. But Jungkook's his boyfriend so of course he would stand up for the younger.
