form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed.

Jungkook sighed as he walked the halls during lunch. It had been a few days since what happened with Yoongi, and Jungkook knew that he needed to stay strong for Yoongi since the elder was still hurting from what he did.

Lunch was long, and he still had a lot of time until class started, so he took a walk.

His eyes widened when he saw the same bullies. He quickly began walking away quickly and before he knew it he had begun running.

Jungkook gasped when he saw a male in front of him, he couldn't stop his movements in time, and soon he ran face-first into a male.
He held his nose and looked up to see a familiar male "TAE HYUNG!" Jungkook Yelled standing up and hugging him "Hey Kookie!" Taehyung spoke, his boxy smile shinning brightly like a sun.

Jungkook looked at him confused "What are you doing here?" Jungkook asked in sign language "I got transferred" he signed back and Jungkook soon smiled brightly, an intense excitement taking over him

"I'm so glad to finally have a friend here" jungkook signed  "Aww I'm your friend still?" Taehyung asked "Hmmm....Nope!" Jungkook signed  soon seeing taehyung go flustered

"Not just my friend...your my best friend!" Jungkook signed happily and Taehyung giggled
"Aish kid!" He yelled poking the youngers stomach playfully "you scared me! I thought you didn't like me" taehyung signed earning a laugh from Jungkook "I know I'm that awesome! You get to be best friends with me...Your finally cool!" Jungkook signed while smirking, he soon watched as Taehyungs face got even more flustered and soon scrunched in playful rage

"how dare you, IM COOL NO MATTER WHAT!" He signed soon poking the younger again "Y-Yah! I'm sorry!" The younger spoke, the pokes to his stomach making him laugh because he was ticklish "OH SO YOUR TICKLISH!" He yelled soon ticking the younger in the middle of the hallway, they were definitely two grave dorks.

Jungkooks euphoric smile and laugh didn't go unnoticed by Taehyung, it actually made his heart race.

Once he had stoped tickling the younger, the laughter didn't stop.
They kept telling each other jokes, they even went from making dumb puns to horrible pickup lines.
They even in the process got to know each other, and became closer, all in just a span of thirty minutes.

...

This didn't change in the next days. They had spent every lunch together, talking and being best friends. Jungkook was so much happier now too, which didn't go unnoticed by Yoongi.

"Kookie! Why are you so happy lately?" Yoongi signed "Hyung....it's because I made a friend...more of an old friend...but I have one!" Jungkook signed and Yoongi instantly lit up with happiness "Awwee!" He spoke "What's his name" he asked in sign language "It's Kim Taehyung, the one who's saved me on a few accessions, the one who said I should come back here, the day I came back and you were drunk...He said that I should talk to you" jungkook signed and Yoongi smiled a bit "man...I really need to thank him don't I?" Yoongi signed and Jungkook nodded "YES!" He signed eagerly and Yoongi laughed "also I need to apologize..." Jungkook signed and Yoongi turned his head "What? Why" he asked and Jungkook sighed

"Because the kid that punched me...His name is Jackson...He hurt me first...And you protected me and I got mad at you instead when he was clearly a threat...I'm really sorry I got mad at you and brought up mom...." jungkook signed looking up at Yoongi who was shocked, but a bright smile came onto his face, he soon hugged Jungkook tightly, his warm hug making jungkook happy.

It was the moment they had both needed to grow closer as brothers. And that moment did as much, they were so much closer now.

...

Jungkook threw away the next pile of letters that decorated his locker, the words on them being all to familiar.
The same horrible things that human beings can say and do, it made Jungkook wonder what happened to humanity...to society.

He sighed and walked to his class soon seeing Taehyung "Hey Hyung!" Jungkook spoke and Taehyung turned around and smiled "Kookie!" He yelled back and soon the two walked together, taking their separate ways to their classes, which was now the part they hated. They had only knew each other for a few days and being apart was horrible for them.

They hated being apart

But loved being together
