KINTSUKUROI - Golden Repair (Taekook)

04: starry night

Full and loud.

That's how Jungkook would describe the University on his first Monday. Slightly distressed he wandered through the corridors, trying to find his courses and lecture rooms. Maybe he should've said yes to Jin, who had offered to accompany him on his first day, but he felt like he wanted to be able to do it on his own. It was his stupid pride. Now he regretted a little bit being so confident in himself.

But after a few more minutes he finally found his first lecture room. At least he hoped so, but it looked like it, so he just walked in, searching for a good seat, not too close to the front, but also not too far away. The good middle.

It was then that he noticed the pink-haired boy sitting in one of the rows. Jungkook hesitated for a moment. Would it be awkward if he sat down next to him, without really knowing him? Probably. But who cared? Jungkook didn't. At least not at that moment.

He slowly made his way towards bubble gum boy, who didn't seem to notice him, because he was too busy starring at his phone. Only when Jungkook sat down on the seat next to him, he looked up. His face turned into a slight frown, when he saw Jungkook, who gave him a friendly smile.

"Hi, I'm Jungkook. Can I sit here?" Bubble gum boy just shrugged with his shoulders and mumbled a shy 'sure' before turning back to his phone.

"And you are?", Jungkook continued to ask curiously, trying to get the other boy to talk.

"Jimin.", he replied without looking up, which Jungkook thought was quite rude to be honest. But he didn't take it personally. Maybe Jimin was very shy or something. He didn't like to judge people without really knowing them.

"So you're into filming?" He saw Jimin rolling his eyes.

"Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here.", he snarled.

Jungkook held his hands up. "Oh, sorry, stupid question."

Jimin sighed and put his phone away, while eyeing Jungkook from the side. "No, I'm sorry. Today is not a great day for me. Please excuse my rude behaviour." He gave Jungkook a small smile and went through his pink hair.

"No problem, I forgive you.", Jungkook smiled back. He noticed that Jimin looked pretty exhausted and pale. Maybe he wasn't feeling well today. Or something happened. This or that way, Jungkook didn't want to get too personal during their first conversation, so he didn't ask any further questions about that topic.

"Thank you.", Jimin laughed, so his eyes completely disappeared. Suddenly he seemed like a totally different person than in the first few seconds. "Actually I'm more into fashion design and all that stuff, but I had to take another subject, so that's why I'm here."

"That's cool. We should hang out some time. I could be your model.", Jungkook joked, but at the same time he didn't. He liked Jimin. He thought Jimin was nice to be around, or at least that's what he figured from the last few seconds he talked to him. Jimin was definitely a kind soul, he could just feel it.

"Oh hanging out it fine. Sorry to disappoint you with the model part though, I already have one."

The professor entered the room and told everyone to be quiet, while making the computer ready to show a video to the course.

"Unbelievable. That breaks my heart. Who is it?", Jungkook replied, wanting to get the answer he hoped for. Jimin smiled.

"My best friend.", his simple reply was and Jungkook almost answered with 'so Taehyung?', but luckily he could control himself. Otherwise that would be a bit creepy. Jimin would know that he talked with other people about them, or how else would Jungkook know who his best friend was?
