dear person who's in love

C-

That morning was really beautiful. The train was currently on a bridge over Han river, the sun hung low on the blue sky and reflected in the water. Taehyung admired it as a new song played in his right ear.

Jungkook was sitting beside and him talking to Jaebum, he had the other earphone in his left ear. Their shoulders were touching, and Taehyung felt all warm.

Was everything gonna change now that Taehyung was Jungkook's boyfriend? Like was Jungkook picking him up after every class now? Was he sitting with him at lunch?

As much as Taehyung liked Jungkook, he hated changes, and too much attention.

And how were people gonna react? Taehyung who fucked a bunch of girls was suddenly gay, AND the best football player on schools boyfriend. Wow. He wouldn't judge if people needed time to process that.

- -

When Taehyung sat down in the class room Dahyun scooted over to sit next to him.

He never talked much with her, but he knew she was really funny and good at math too.

"is it true that your gay?" she asked him with wide eyes with a smile on her lips.

Taehyung scrunched his nose at her cuteness "uh yeah, I am" he answered, while wondering where she got the news from.

She lifted her shoulders, opened her mouth "wait, you ARE gay?" she asked. Taehyung was confused but he still nodded. Then hugged him. "OMG thats so great, you must be so relieved at the moment, I think it's so cool, wow you must have had a hard time but now everything is great, my brother is gay too and.." she talked a lot, but Taehyung thought she her excitement was cute.

"Miss Kim can the excitement wait?" Mr. Johnson said from the his desk, Dahyun looked up and her smile slowly disappeared. Before she went back to her seat she winked at Taehyung and whispered "congrats".

Taehyung responded with a smile, turned around and glanced at Mr. Johnson who looked kinda of mad.

The class went on, Taehyung tried to pay attention to what his old teacher said, though his double chin seemed to distract him. Also the fact that Dahyun, a girl he never talked to, knew that he was gay? Who the heck told her that? Does that mean that everybody knew?

SHIT

"Good morning international butterflies" a happy voice suddenly spoke from the speaker hanging in the corner of the class room. Taehyung smiled, Harris the headmaster of the school didn't talk like any other headmaster, he was always really happy and he surely loved his job.

"Kim Taehyung, can you report to my office?"

Taehyung looked up at the speaker, and then at Mr. Johnson who didn't looked at him with  squinted eyes.

That man hated Taehyung.

"Oh yeah of course you can't answer, but i really hope you hear this or else it's a little awkward, but come to my office right now"

Harris was not good say anything formal or in normal school language.

Same thing happened when Taehyung sat in a chair in front of Harris' mahogany desk in his office five minutes later.

"So how are you doing Tae?" he asked as he placed his elbows on the desk and rested his head in his palms.

Taehyung who was freaking a little out answered "im totally fine, how about you?" he nodded.

On the way to Harris' office Taehyung tried to come up with all of the reasons who would make sense for him go all the way to his office and speak to Harris.

1. Harris just wanted to talk to his favorite student ( it happened before )

2. He somehow had heard, like everybody else that Taehyung was gay, and he wanted to congratulate him (yes Harris does that too)

3. He wanted information about Ellie

4. HE KNEW THAT TAEHYUNG WAS BEATEN UP BY BAXTER AND HENRY - shit that meant confrontation, calling mom and dad, talking to Henry, talking to the police, oh nooo.

Well none of the listed 4 reasons was right.

"Im super duper fine too, i just ate the best kimbap ever, so I'm thriving" Harris jumped slightly in his chair.

Harris was around 30 (yep, that why) he still acted like a 20 year old. He was half korean-half american, kinda good looking, he always wore a light blue shirt. He was really happy and hype all the time, he loved to hear all the gossip around school.

"cool" Taehyung answered, smiling at the headmaster.

Harris shook his head "anyway". "SO Taehyung the reason you're here is because your grades do not look good at the moment"

WhAt? grades? Taehyung was an A student?

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.

Harris reached out for a few papers and handed them to Taehyung on the other side on the desk.

"in your recent bio test you got a C, where you usually get an A, Taehyung"

Taehyung looked from Harris to the C in the red circle on the paper with his name on it. It was that test he didn't study for, SHIt.

"and Mrs. Lee said you got a C- in you calc test" Harris said with a serious look on his face. "I didn't think it was that bad until I asked Mrs. Evans who said you got 27 out 100 in a pop quiz"

Taehyung gulped.

"So what ever is wrong Taehyung, you need to fix it, cause your grades are slipping, and I know how much you want to get in to a good college and I know how good you are, so you really have to pull yourself together right now".

Taehyung gulped again. His grades were the last thing, he wanted to change after everything that happened.

"I'm sorry, I guess I was overwhelmed by everything that's been going on lately" Taehyung said and glanced at Harris before looking away.

"i know Taehyung" Harris sighed. "that's why i'll give you one chance.." he started.

Taehyung looked back at the headmaster.

"if you hand in the best English assignment  that you've ever written, none of these test results will ever see the light" Harris explained while looking at the sad teenager in front of him.

"when?" Taehyung asked.

"you have until Saturday midnight, so it better be amazing" Harris said in a serious voice then he started smiling.

"alright" Taehyung nodded slowly as he stood up.

The best assignment ever? With everything that goes on? Ellie, Jungkook, peoples graduation, Prom? Taehyung couldn't just study hard now?

"i know you can do this Taehyung" Harris said before Taehyung closed the door.
