Homophobic High - VKOOK FF

Chapter 20

Sweat puddles in the creases of Taehyung's palms as he anxiously walks up to the location that he was clearly told to avoid. He wishes he could just avoid the place completely, blocking it out of his mere existence as if it was part of a dream.

But Lim's Cafe was no dream.

And he wasn't here to live no fairytale either. Instead, he grips onto the resignation letter, the paper crinkling from his rough handle. But a mere dent in the paper wasn't his cause of anxiety, no, instead it was the expression of the demon haired boy that caused his guts to wilt away.

The male glares at him, his chocolate orbs swirling with the mossy greens of disgust as he watches the smaller boy approach him.

Taehyung stops in front of him, uncomfortably switching from one leg to another as he fiddles with his fingers.

"What do you want?" The redhead bites out rather harshly. Taehyung flinches at the tone, feeling as meek as a city mouse under the red-heads glare. "I-I came to give this," he says while handing over the papers. The other male grabs the paper and stares at it, lips curling into a slight scowl at the bold words displayed on the front. 

Taehyung opens his mouth to speak, to beg the male to allow him to slowly pay off the compensation fee but the other male beats him to it. 

"I thought he was joking when he said you will resign."

Taehyung furrows his thick brows, face contorting into a confused expression as he ponders over the spoken words. "Who is he?"

Baekhyun looks up with annoyance sweeping his expression. "He, as in the one who paid off your stupid compensation fee. Who else would I be talking about." 

Taehyung's eyes widen almost comically. His compensation fee of nearly one thousand dollars... paid? By who-

But then it hits him. 

Jeon Jungkook. 

Baekhyun watches as the boy comes to a realisation, a cunning smirk gently slipping onto his lips.

"Okay class, since you have all completed your assigned homework, I will allow you to work with your partners on your assignment, use this time wisely and don't muck around." Ms Song says with a wide smile, gesturing for her children to move next to their partners. 

Taehyung turns his head to Jungkook who is slumped in his chair. He giddily walks up to him, wanting to profusely thank him for the deed he had done, however, as he approaches the boy, he notices the frown on his face. 

Taehyung plops down onto the seat next to him and looks at the boy carefully, noticing the lack of attention he is giving him or in fact, the lack of attention he is giving anything. 

"You alright?" Taehyung whispers gently, despite the loud chatter in the room. Jungkook finally looks at him, as if finally noticing his presence. 

"Yeah," the ravenette grumbles, the rough tone contradicting his answer. Taehyung slightly frowns, wondering what is wrong with the boy but reluctantly decides not to dwell on it. He could thank him another time.
