Bounded

Chapter Five

Jungkook's POV:

Recap:

"So... " I started as I coughed, trying to break the ice. I looked around, smiling at everyone "let's ignore this depressing shit and talk about something nice for once" I joked and went back to eating. They all look taken aback but nodded and started talking about whatever they were talking about. I felt a small tap on my right, making me look at Tae.

"It's okay to talk about it... Please talk to me about it soon..." he smiled and paused, looking distress and oh so cute. "Or at least when you grow comfortable with me. I'll wait for you Jungkook, I'm willing to risk everything to be truly happy with you".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I looked at him, seeing a slight blush dusted on his cheeks as he smiled at me, a genuine and cute smile, like he actually cared. I smiled hesitantly, wondering if I could actually experience happiness one day.The image of my mother's smile invaded my memories, sweet and full of life. My smile turned into one similar to grimace. I looked away from Taehyung, pulling my hand away from him as I closed my eyes, he's not coming back... he not coming back. You don't even look the same. He won't be able to find you. I thought desperately. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my left arm making me flinch in fright.

"Hey, hey, it's me. It's okay...Are you okay?" I opened my eyes to see Jin smile; his eyes filled with worry and concern. Relaxing, I nodded to assure him I was feeling okay. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Namjoon and Suga looked at each other, concern written all over their face. I heard Jimin clear his throat and start talking, trying to change the subject.

" So, what are your majors? Might as well get to know each other a little bit more since we're stuck with you..." Jimin says while looking at me with a smile. I look down at my mismatched bunny and piggy socks to avoid eye contact. Thank God he changed the topic. I thought with relief.

" My major is dance." Jimin spoke up again, taking initiative. "I also have two minors in Fashion and Music. Well, not just any music ーmore specificallyー I have a minor in singing," Jimin smiled with pride of his major. Tony gave him a smile and pecked his cheeks causing Jimin blush. Gross. I swear, this lovey dovey thing is cute, but not for me.

" Well as most of you know, I'm a major in Architecture with a minor in Business," Tony said confidently. Jimin smiled at him and cuddled close. Taehyung smiled and raised his hand as though he were in grade school. We all looked at him weirdly as he waits patiently. He looks at Tony with pleading eyes, asking to be chosen.When he looks around the table and notices our stares, he shifts his gaze down with a blush lightly dusting his cheeks.

"Sorry. I just wanted to say that I was next." he said while putting his hand down. I roll my eyes and started picking at my food. I can't believe this is my soulmate. I swear he is not a college student. " I'm majoring in Photography and doing a minor in Theater, specifically acting because I'm very dramatic." Taehyung smiled, his eyes sparkling when talking about his major. Taehyung looked at me, still smiling, which made my heart flutter in a weirdly. I cough and look down at my plate, shaking my head as these thoughts fill my head. I can't like him. He's weird. He's childish. He's not my type.

"Uhhh Jungkook. We don't have fucking all day..." Yoongi commented. I looked up to meet his glare as he shoved a spoonful of rice into his mouth. I looked at Tony as he took a sip of his drink, very sassily might I add, just taking in the tension as a joke. I looked over at Taehyung who was looking at his plate, but by the color of his necklace and cheeks, you could tell the boy was blushing.

"JK," Namjoon said. I looked over at him in confusion. He just shook his head and chuckled. "What's your major dumbass? We're all still waiting" he jokes making a faint pink dust my cheeks.
