Homophobic High - VKOOK FF

Chapter 23

Taehyung and Jungkook came back to the campsite when the sky was tainted with orangey hues. The sun was setting but the mirage of infinite clouds still lingered in the sky. It was a beautiful scene that warmed the hearts of its onlookers, making them feel a sense of tranquillity like no other. 

But oh so deceiving it was. 

"Taehyung!" Jimin exclaims as he runs to his blue-haired friend. The smaller boy beams out a smile upon seeing his best friend. 

"Jimin!" He says while tackling the boy into a hug. The pair giggle like scrawny teenage girls talking about their crush. 

"I heard you and Jungkook got wood duty because you woke up late," Jimin says while pulling Taehyung to where the people were setting up for the campfire. 

Taehyung nods moodily, "I woke up on time but HE did not."

Jimin tilts his head in confusion, "why didn't you just come out then? Then only he would have received the punishment and you could have stayed here doing pushups with me," Jimin says while flicking his imaginary ponytail. Jimin watches as his best friend gets lost in his thoughts and wonders what is going through his mind. 

He's yanked back to where he was, face to face with Jungkook. And then, without warning, Jungkook's lips are on his. He kisses him rather gently and Taehyung can't help but feel shy.

"Ahh, Tae? You listening, bro?" Jimin waves his hand in front of his friend's face.

"A-ah yeah, haha, I just- yeah.

Jimin shakes his head, "You weirdo, come on, let's go help put up the fire." 

The pair happily stumble along to the big piles of wood where students gather around.

Night falls upon the campsite like a wave from a gentle sea, sweeping over the land with its mighty darkness and lulling the people with its twinkling lights. 

The herd of boys all huddle around the orange glow of the fire like a bunch of moths. 

"There's not enough seats!" Someone calls out. 

The crowd grumble and bark out suggestions. 

"Let's make a chair."

"Sacrifice someone into the fire!"

"Someone can sit on someone's lap." 

Now the last suggestion catches the attention of most the boys, well, being the most reasonable that it. 

The brown-haired boy who had suggested it now beams from the attention and then elaborates his proposal. "The smallest few can just sit on someone's lap," he says with a shrug. 

The boys nod in agreement. Taehyung does too but stops when all eyes train onto him. 

"What?" The blue-head asks with a frown. 

Jimin is next to him and giggles. "Tae, you're literally the lightest person here, it would be best if you sat on someone's lap."

Taehyung's eyes widen as he helplessly stares at his best friend. "N-no, I am not the lightest!" He protests quietly. 

Jimin rolls his eyes playfully before pulling the boy up. "I'll sit on Jin while you sit on Namjoon," he announces so the group can hear and then drags the boy towards their friends.
