We're at 4K reads, holy shit... 🥺😦😊

The first two days of school without Taehyung seemed to drag on forever. It felt as though he didn't have anything to look forward to. Either before or after school, a class, or lunch.

People around him noticed a change in his demeanor, especially Jin.
They're currently sitting in the library during lunch after deciding they weren't that hungry.
"...Jungkook, do you have the answer to question 7?"

Jin waits for a response. When he doesn't get one he looks up to see Jungkook on his phone.

"Hey. Jungkook?"

Still no answer. Jin huffs and just skips the question. As he works for a minute he finally gets an answer.

"What did you say?"

Jin looks up to see Jungkook still staring at his phone .

"I uhh- I asked if you had question 7, but I doubt you even have the answer to 1."

Jungkook finally looks up to look at Jin.
"Oh yeah, I haven't even started."

Jin smiles tightly.
"Who are you texting?" He asks trying not to sound as disinterested as he is. When Jungkook answers he isn't surprised with the response.

"A few of Jenni's friends."

Jungkook had resorted to the only thing that seemed to get V off his mind.

Girls.

"A few?"

Jungkook nods looking back down at his phone.

Jin shakes his head feeling slightly disappointed. He knows that if he doesn't get a hold of Jungkook now, he'll start to spiral.

"So, where do you think Jimin's been?"

Jungkook looks up from his phone with little to no emotion on his face.

"I don't know. Am I supposed to be watching him?"

Jin raises his eyebrow at the sudden attitude.
"No, I'm just asking. He wasn't suspended along with V and Jeff, but he still hasn't shown up"

"I don't know. Maybe hanging out with V."
Jungkook mumbles the last part as he goes back to looking at his phone.

Jin sighs defeatedly, giving up on trying to have a conversation with Jungkook.
He looks at the clock

1:13

Taehyung sits at his desk and watches the numbers of the clock change from 1:12 to 1:13. He'd been watching it for almost 30 minutes now, not knowing what else to do.
"I'm gonna go fucking crazy."
He rubs his eyes and grumbles annoyed.

*knock knock*

"Tae, Namjoon said he needs us downstairs."

Taehyung moves his hands from his eyes and stares at the clock again until they refocus.
"Ok, I'll be there in a minute."

"Ok."
Jimin makes his way out of the room. Just like Jungkook, Taehyung had been acting differently. Jimin had started to notice immediately. He doesn't mess around with him anymore and he seems gloomier than usual. Almost as if he's a more dull version of the previous Tae.

Taehyung scoots away from his desk and stands out of his chair groaning. A yawn crawls out of his mouth as he starts making his way downstairs following Jimin.

"Did he say what he wanted?" Asks Taehyung uninterested.

Jimin shakes his head as they get to the stairs, "No he just said to come down. He seems a little agitated but I don't think that's cause of us."
