the brave

Jungkook and Taehyung exchanged some concerned glances as they noticed their Professor wearing toned glasses, his eyes behind looking puffy, so does his whole face, as if he was crying the whole night. Professor Jin was unusually quiet and gravely, not to mention how pale he looked. The chalk was somewhat shaky in his hands, as he aggressively wrote some dates on the board, making some screeching noises in the process. "We will go to some plays at those dates. Make sure to attend as much as you can and bring something to write with you. We are going into analysis in the next few weeks. So that will be the main reason for us to go to the plays." The whole lesson wasn't as cheerful as they were used to, the topic of theatre analysis seemed very dry, and if they weren't attentive students, they for sure would have loved to skip the whole lesson. The whole room was full of Professor Jin's moodiness, and the other students escaped as quick as they could. Meanwhile Jungkook and Taehyung walked down to the professor, who looked lost as he collected his belongings. Taehyung cleared his throat. "professor Jin." He looked up and sighed. "Oh, look, friends of the betrayer." Jungkook supressed a laugh. Jin was even now funny with all his snappy attitude. "I'm really sorry for what happened. Wanna take a coffee with us?" Jin was starring to the ground. He couldn't talk to any of his colleagues about what happened to him nor his friends right now, so he decided to take the offer and nodded, his gaze still turned to the ground. Taehyung smiled. He felt responsible for his professor, mostly because he helped him out when he had problems. Jin nipped on his coffee, feeling already the lump in his throat, as both students looked at him with pity. He licked his finger and collected the little amount of sugar that was spread on the table, bringing his finger to his mouth to lick the sugar from his finger. He took the glasses off, making the other two gasp. The professor had really bad swollen eyes. "Don't worry, it's not just that I'm almost crying 24 hours a day, I have also allergies..." Tae shuffled in his place just to look at Jungkook even more worried than before. "I was stupid to begin with. Wasn't the best idea to start an affair with a student..." Jungkook chuckled. "Wasn't, for sure." "I mean he's only 2 years younger than me. But you know...there are rules..." he sighed. "Yeah, we heard of them." Jungkook said sarcastically. "Especially to start an affair with a student that is also a guy, wasn't really smart." Both nodded. "But- sorry to ask, professor-aren't you gay?" "I'm bi." "Ah." Taehyung nods. "And to start with a male student who is straight, wasn't that smart as well." Jungkook laughed. "Does he still say that? I'm gonna beat his ass for that!" Jin smiled at Jungkook. "A guy who had an affair with an attractive professor isn't the definition of straight in my eyes." "Maybe he was just experimental." Jin says, biting his lip. "oh, no, an experiment is, when you test if you are attracted when you kiss your own gender. But Namjoon knew he is attracted to you already. He whined all the time about it." "He did?" Taehyung looked to Jungkook uneasy, he didn't want to create false hope in the professor's brain. "If anything, he is bi, just like you." Jin nodded in agreement. He then smiled and snickered, suddenly remembering the incident with Namjoon at the club. "It wasn't supposed to go like this. But he was so smart and charming and his dimples were so attractive. We talked so much , but drank also, and one led to another- and..." He teared up again, burying his face in his hands. He pulled a tissue out of his pocket and cleaned his nose. "The affair was only going on a few weeks, and I maybe should have just enjoyed that. The worst thing was, that I fell in love with him, head over heels." He tried to smile, but tears escaped his eyes again. Taehyung felt so bad for his teacher. "I'm gonna kill him." He said. Jin shook his head. "No, please. It's not his fault that he can't return the feelings. He's not a bad guy." Jin felt much better for talking to his students that grow close to his heart. At least, he got that from his chest, and both males comforted him as good that they could.

After their shift in the Café, both returned to their dorm, tired, and started their usual routines, Jk went to cook something quickly while Tae was taking a shower. After he got out of the shower, he saw that someone called him. It was his mom. He clenched his jaw and dropped the phone on the bed, not willing to call her back. Jungkook's quick noodle soup was delicious and brought him some strength back. He sat on their bed, going through the Artbook of Street Arts they were about to get tested, reading calmly, as a damp Jungkook came out of the shower, putting on his nightwear and crawling up to Taehyung, his head resting on Tae's belly. Tae smiled, but kept on reading. Jungkook pulled on Tae's shirt and kissed his bare tummy, just to blow on it, making a ridiculous farting noise. Taehyung giggled at how much that tickled, but Jungkook kept going until Tae's attention was full on him. "Stop kookie!" Jungkook hugged him, still in that position, and Tae patted his head. "You're unbelievable. We have an exam, remember?" "Yeah, but now I need my daily dose of cuddles." Taehyung smirked. "Since when are you so soft?" "Since now. C'mere." He was about to pull Taehyung down as his phone rang again. Taehyung looked it up quickly, but blocked the call and shoved it away. "Who was it?" Taehyung sighed. "Just my mom." "Don't you want to speak to her?" "I'm not in the mood." Jungkook nodded and pulled his boyfriend down, spooning him and kissing his back. The silky pyjama of his boyfriend felt nice to his body, but Taehyung at a whole person felt the best. He could never get tired of that feeling to hold him in his arms, to hold him close. His scent, his soft skin, his silky hair, the warmth of his body, everything felt like home to him. His happy place. Taehyung did enjoy the clinginess of Jungkook. He always liked to cuddle, and it was the best to get cuddled by Jungkook. He smiled while he placed his hand over Kookies, who had his arm wrapped over Tae's waist from behind. Tae stroked the hand with his thumb, until he heard some light snoring behind him. Jungkook was always so fast to fall asleep. He smiled as he intertwined their fingers and closed his eyes.
