"it seems to me, that love could be labelled poison and we'd drink it anyways."

//

Sahar runs to Mr Kim's classroom- she needs to give in her late assignment.

when she arrives, teacher Namjoon is sat at his occupied desk with his head leaning on his fisted hand. it's the start of the day and he seems to be preparing for his classes. Sahar likes how he has an organised planner. he's flicking through pages of a rugged literature book, pen balancing behind his ear as his blonde hair falls onto his forehead. he doesn't notice Sahar until she knocks and he calls her over with a wave of his hand.

"sorry for the delay." Sahar says what she had prepared before placing her written work in his hand. she's thankful he allowed her to hand it in late- he is one of her best teachers.

Namjoon hums, acknowledging her apology before looking through her assignment. he mentions how he'll mark it later. his brown eyes look up to address Sahar. "i know i don't have a right to interve in your personal life." he starts.

Sahar furrows her brows, wondering where the conversation is heading. she was expecting to hand in her assignment and leave immediately. Namjoon hands over a marked assignment, Sahar beams at the given grade.

"yes ... love is important." Namjoon states, clearing his throat. "but make sure to work hard at life too."

Sahar feels her heart drop with heavy weight. she knows he's talking about Jungkook. his advice is something true but surprising. "thank you sir." is all she manages to say- balancing love and life will have to work.

Sahar hasn't had time to talk to Jungkook all day.

he's been studying. she's been studying.

the couple are both busy with things but Jungkook is still making the effort to talk to her, despite his overloaded schedule. Sahar knows she should be trying too but she keeps opening his messages and not finding the effort to reply.

everything will be fine- they reassure themselves.

JUNGKOOK
Sahar?

JUNGKOOK
are you ignoring me?

JUNGKOOK
you must have some time to check your phone?

SAHAR
i've honestly been busy

JUNGKOOK
doing what?

i've started volunteering, i'm helping out at home because of my younger brother and my sick father who can't work because he was a train driver who got traumatised by people jumping in front of his train, oh and let's not forget the fact that we have exams coming soon.

but Sahar doesn't say it.

SAHAR

JUNGKOOK

Sahar should say- i will try harder, i will try better for us Jungkook.

JUNGKOOK

SAHAR

JUNGKOOK

JUNGKOOK

SAHAR
