jungkook focus
jimin chases after jungkook the moment he leaves the boys' locker room, "hyung! slow down!!" he calls after him angrily. jungkook picks up his speed and walks even faster than before. "jeon jungkook!!" jimin starts to shout at him.

once jimin starts running at the taller junior with godly speed, jungkook immediately stops walking. the sudden pause causes jimin to fall smackdown face first onto the ground. he starts to complain, but his whines and cries are muffled by the floor, "you've got to be fucking kidding me!" his distress makes jungkook laugh.

"god, you're so childish, don't laugh at me. it hurts," jimin sighs as he sits up, but he keeps himself glued to the floor. "d-do.. my lips look okay?"

jungkook's stare immediately trails down to jimin's lush lips. he notes that they are plump and a rosy and glossy pink color. he wonders if they smell like roses, too.

in conclusion, jungkook decides that he likes jimin's lips.

"your lips look just fine, you whiny ass. it's not even a big deal. you're over exaggerating."

"not a big deal? my lips are one of my best and most favorite features! i go out of my way to care for them! they're soft, pretty, and perfect! i am not over exaggerating!"

the short and irritated boy stands up from the ground, and then continues to shout and blabber about how big a deal it would be if his lips were damaged. jungkook just scoffs at this.

they're both so focused on arguing with each other that neither of them notice the black haired boy that walks up to them.

"hey, jungkook! how have you been doing?" the black haired boy said with a loud and cheery voice. jimin turns towards him.

he has a very bright and big smile. he waves at the both of them excitedly. he laughed, radiating "excitement", or perhaps even "happiness", which is rather uncommon or rare for a student to do nowadays.

jimin thinks that he is going to end up liking the positive and energetic character of the boy in front him.

"hoseok, bro! i've been doing good. how was your summer?" jungkook immediately replies and walks up to hoseok. jimin was surprised that jungkook had such a friendly side.

while hoseok and jungkook continued to talk to each other, jimin peered over to see the depressed-looking boy from earlier (the one he met in the locker room), yoongi, impatiently waiting for something while standing behind the two boys who were still indulging in conversation.

"hoseok-ah," yoongi said, "let's go. if we stay any longer, they'll be late to class."

"alrighty! we'll see you later then." hoseok cheerfully replied with a smile.

jimin was confused, there were no classrooms besides the gymnasium in this area, so why were hoseok and yoongi hanging out here?

"wait, aren't you two going to head off to class as well?" he asked.

"nah." yoongi said as hoseok shook his head no.

jimin gasped, "you two are going to skip class?!"

"yup. don't overreact, kid. they do this all the time," jungkook said, "they're probably gonna fuck in the bathroom or something."

jimin made a face of surprise and disgust (at the same time, somehow). how rebellious, he thought.

"well... we should get going!" jungkook blurted out as he tugged on jimin's sleeve, "goodluck skipping class, hyungs! don't get caught! bye!"

"ouchhh! don't touch me! everything hurts!" jimin wailed as he was pulled along the school halls and then thrown inside room 394, aka literature.

+

jungkook sits at the back of the classroom. at first he sits by himself, until taehyung enters, exactly thirty seconds prior to the bell, and decides to sit directly in front of him (and ruin his day with that one single choice).

jungkook tries his best to ignore the fact that taehyung is sitting in front of him. so, once the bell rings and the teacher walks into the room, jungkook pulls out his phone from the back pocket of his ripped jeans. he hides it under his desk and sends out snaps to his friends.

jungkook feels several taps on his shoulder. he sighs and looks up from his phone to see taehyung stare at him with an unamused face.

"what the fuck do you want?"

after rolling his eyes, taehyung whispers, "jungkook-ah, turn off your phone and pay attention. she's taking attendance right now and you're up next."

jungkook turns his phone off, and a second or two later, the teacher, whose name is mrs. choi, calls out his name for attendance.

"present." he says, loud enough for her to hear, but soft enough so that it doesn't sound aggressive (he's learned from past experiences to not shout out too "unnecessarily" loud). he immediately looks at taehyung afterwards, and taehyung just nods at him in response.

the rest of the lesson goes by pretty fast for jungkook, since all he does during the hour is quietly chuckle at memes and text girls on his phone.

and throughout the whole period taehyung keeps a close eye on jungkook, because he knows that jungkook does not actually pay enough attention to what's going on around him. so, if the teacher were to notice that he had his head down, or if she were to call on him... he would probably end up getting his phone taken away.

but, it all works out well in the end. jungkook doesn't get caught, jimin manages to not fall asleep in class, and taehyung ends up actually learning something.

jungkook even goes up to taehyung afterwards and tells him "thank you."

taehyung smiles, "it's no problem, kook. just try being a bit more careful next time."

jungkook doesn't know why taehyung's being so nice to him. he doesn't have the slightest clue of why he ends up blushing, either. his cheeks start to heat up for some reason, and it's not because he was sick, or because it was hot inside the room, and he wasn't really feeling embarrassed or anything like that. so why was he blushing?

goddamnit. i really, really fucking hate taehyung.

he frowned as he picked up his stuff, put his phone back into his pocket, and walked out the door as jimin followed closely behind him.
