Twenty-four

The first lessons were over as Taehyung left the classroom for the break. He hadn't talked to Namjoon yet and he wasn't sure if he wanted to. Suddenly, someone came from behind and tapped on his shoulder.
"Hey Taehyung!"
"Hey..." Taehyung responded, when he recognized Namjoon.
"No hug? We didn't see each other for a whole week!"
"Mianhae."
Taehyung didn't really want to talk to him.
"Everything okay? What happened? Yah, your lip is bleeding!"
"I'm fine Namjoon. Don't talk to me."
"But-"
Namjoon was totally confused, he had no idea why his friend was being so rude...
Jungkook quickly rushed over to Taehyung when he saw that he was with Namjoon.
"Namjoon, Taehyung knows what you did." Jungkook said, while he pushed himself between them.
"What the hell...? What do you mean?" Namjoon was still confused. But as he thought about the last days, he remembered the car accident. The police was already searching for him and he knew about what he did.
"Taehyung- I... That was..."
"Don't make up an excuse. We know the truth. Because of you, we stayed away from school a whole week. Because of you, I got hurt! You hit me with your fucking car! My head still aches!" Jungkook yelled, but Taehyung pulled him by his wrist.
"Enough, Jungkook. Let's go."
The boys walked away from Namjoon, who was desperately standing in the hallway, watching them go.
"Enjoy your punishment!" Jungkook shouted through the hallway.
"Jungkook, enough!"
That was the last word Namjoon could hear, because they disappeared behind a door.

"Why are you behaving like this? You're not a bad boy, you're a wonderful person..."
"I know, but... I can show my real face only around you..."  he explained.
"I know that feeling... Only when I'm with you, I'm not shy, I'm really confident. You saw what I did with Taemin.
"That was great", Jungkook said, "you've paid him back!"
"I know- and thank you for stopping him."
"Of course, that was a reflex."
"You're my savior, Jungkook~ You saved my life when I slept on the bridge, you gave me a home, you gave me friendship and affection when I was sad... thank you so much~" Taehyung was smiling really bright and Jungkook smiled back lightly.
Jungkook felt his heart racing again as he looked in Taehyung's eyes and he started to get more nervous the longer he stared into his eyes. What was this feeling...?
Was it love? No. No way. I'm not gay so I can't be in love with him. He's just like a little brother... I have to tell him about that. But when? And how?
