When Taehyung looks down and realised he's wearing a somewhat familiar looking t-shirt, he knows he's fucked when Jimin points out, 'Isn't that Jeongguk's football t-shirt?'
---
Taehyung feels himself being shakened lightly. He ignores it, body too tired and bed too comfortable.
And he feels it again, this time slightly harder. Taehyung groans, head burying into the soft pillow.
" Babe? Babe. "
Taehyung frowns as an oddly familiar voice reaches his ears.
" Babe, don't you have Chemistry at 9am? It's 8:30 already. "
At that, Taehyung eyes flew open and he immediately gets up, head accidentally bumping into the said boy hovering over him.
Jeongguk winces, rubbing his head.
" Oh my god, sorry baby. Since when was I sleeping over at your place!? Professor Park mentioned he was going to start on a new module today! " Taehyung groans as he rushes to wash up. He throws on whatever fresh clothes he took from Jeongguk's closet (he did not bring spare ones), not bothering to change his jeans before packing his school supplies into his bag.
Jeongguk yawns as he rolled over to face his boyfriend, watching him scramble to zip his bag before slipping his shoes on, struggling to keep his eyes half opened. Thank god he doesn't have class till 10am which gives him the privilege to sleep in. Last night's training had him dead tired.
" You don't remember? You came here after your lab work and when I came back at night from training, you were already asleep on the couch. So I carried you to bed,"
Taehyung froze for a brief second before the moment of realisation kicked in as he let out a sigh, face palming himself for being an idiot.
" I wasn't meant to fall asleep till the next morning, damn it. "
Right when Taehyung was about to step out of the apartment, he goes over to where he was on the bed and presses a quick kiss on Jeongguk's cheek.
" Thank you though Gukkie. I'll see you later! "
Jeongguk nods sleepily at that, giving him a soft smile, " I'll see you later. "
So to say, not many knew of their relationship honestly. Only their circle of close friends knew, and it was already difficult for them to wrap the information around their head when Taehyung divulged it to them. He remembers Jimin choking on his milkshake for a solid 15 seconds when he told them in the middle of having dinner at their usual hangout place just a street down their campus.
Deciding the news of them being together will probably garner much attention and reaction from others around the campus, Taehyung and Jeongguk had agreed to keep it low-key publicly.
Taehyung didn't like unnecessary attention and well Jeongguk, he has way too much attention. Afterall, he's known to be the typical hot guy which obviously had to be the captain of the campus' football club. Also who has more than half of the campus' population glancing at him whenever he walks pass classrooms or hallways.
Jeongguk always tries to avoid questions about his relationships or having flings and even one night stands. Curse most of his wild teammates for doing the above so to allow people to assume Jeongguk is like them.
Besides, Taehyung doubt the public will have a positive reaction if Jeongguk or him discloses their relationship publicly in campus. Not saying that Taehyung aren't liked by people, (in fact many find him cute thank you very much) but, who would believe that Kim Taehyung, the resident good boy who never fails to attain the best grades is together with the captain of the football team, Jeon Jeongguk who sleeps in classes, much less handing in his assignments?
