Strawberries And Cigarettes | Jikook

4. Close Encounter.

Baby boy!?

Jimin frowned hard as the taller boy stared right at Taehyung, a sly smirk playing on his lips. He had just met Jungkook and yet somehow this boy had already managed to get on Jimin's nerves. But he had a feeling that his roommate and this asshole definitely had a history.

Taehyung scoffed as he heard those words, folding his hands, a clear look of annoyance on his face. "Oh, drop it, Jungkook. I'm not your fucking toy. Not anymore."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow before, reaching out and running a flirty finger below Taehyung's chin. "Don't be like that, baby. You and I both know you loved it while it lasted."

Jimin rolled his eyes as Taehyung angrily swatted his hand away, his eyes glaring hard at the obnoxious boy. "Get out of here, you fucking bitch!"

Jimin could feel the tension rising as Jungkook's playful expression dropped and his eyes became dead serious, lacing with a cold stare of command. He sensed this could escalate fast, and his mind began to prepare an escape route. And if push came to shove, he knew just what to do.

Jungkook stepped closer to Taehyung, his jaw clenching, as he continued to stare down at the boy. Taehyung tried his best to keep up his angry expression, but deep down, he was a little scared of the younger, knowing very well what he was capable of. His palms had started to sweat a little as he unconsciously gulped.

"You don't tell me what to do at this school, you piece of shi-"

But he was cut off when Jimin squeezed between the two of them, and even though shorter than Jungkook, he stared him dead in the eye, slightly pushing him away before uttering in a low, condescending voice.

"I think he made it pretty clear for you to leave. I suggest you do that."

Jungkook was a little taken aback by the shorter boy's action who he hadn't even noticed before. He gave him a once over, his eyes hooded with curiosity more than anger as he wondered who the hell was this new kid to stand up to the school's Kingka like this? A small crowd had been started forming around the three of them, obviously expecting some drama. And Jungkook was just about to give them the beef to talk about for the rest of the week.

He travelled dangerously close to Jimin, staring down at him with intimidation, biting the inside of his cheek, an almost smirk on his face.

"And what if I don't? What will you do, you puny ass cunt?"

Jimin's head snapped as he grabbed the taller boy's shirt and roughly pulled him closer, using just enough of his superhuman strength, their noses almost touching, as his eyes shot daggers at Jungkook and his blood boiled. The crowd low-key gasped when Jimin did that, never in their life before had they watched their bad boy get man-handled by a newbie. Taehyung tried to reach out to Jimin to stop him, but he couldn't bring himself to when he saw Jimin's burning eyes. He'd never seen his roommate so angry. So naturally, he flinched when he heard the next words that came out of Jimin's mouth.

"Trust me, you don't want to find out what happens when you make me angry."

Jungkook's temper flared beyond limits as Jimin's hold on his shirt tightened. He tried to pushed the shorter away, but he didn't budge. Jungkook's eyes widened with surprise. The puny man was way more stronger than he looked. But that didn't stop Jungkook from raising his fist, ready to punch Jimin square in the face.

"Get away from each other, you two!" Mr. Kwon, the basketball coach's raspy voice rung out loud in the front yard of the school as the rest of the students quickly scrambled to make way for their 6'5 feet tall coach, who made his was over to the two boys, towering significantly over both of them.
