"What are you looking up?" Jungkook asked, peering over Taehyung's shoulder to get a glimpse at his laptop screen.
Taehyung bit the inside of his cheek thoughtfully. "What causes someone to become a bully," he read his Naver search out loud.
Jungkook groaned, "This is boring, let's get hot chocolate or something."
He tossed their humanities textbook aside and flopped down onto the leaf covered grass. The two boys were finally working on their video project, they only had a little over a month left to complete it. As the wind rustled through the large oak tree above them both boys pulled their sweaters tighter for warmth.
"Just because we involuntarily spent the weekend together doesn't make us friends," Taehyung muttered, focusing on the project at hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry, maybe when you were squeezing the circulation out of my hand it gave me the wrong idea," Jungkook shot back.
Taehyung turned to look at him, "Did I manage to cut the circulation off to your brain as well?"
"You wish you were that strong. Maybe if you spent more time at the gym you wouldn't be so pathetically weak."
Taehyung rolled his eyes and tried not to let the other's words hurt him. "According to Psychology Today, insecurity is the number one reason people bully." He turned to stare at the younger, "Tell me Jungkook, are you insecure?"
Jungkook closed his eyes, "Of course not, that's ridiculous! Find a different source."
Taehyung began to compile a list of sources and save them on a shared document. "Aren't you going to help?" he snapped. "Gosh, you're so useless."
Jungkook felt an icy chill slice through him for reasons other than the fall temperature, but it wasn't the first time he had been called that. "I told you, I'll research the effects of bullying," he coldly replied. "I don't need an entire month to do that. Don't worry, maybe someday you'll grow out of your unwavering stupidity...but probably not."
Taehyung closed his laptop with a snap and slipped it back into his backpack. "Whatever," he muttered, "just have it done by next weekend so we can start filming."
Jungkook watched as the other walked away with an obvious upset expression. He sighed and ran a hand over his face, why did he have to open his mouth and say such stupid things? He didn't mean to push Taehyung away, he genuinely wanted to make things right, but whenever the other got snippy he became detached and defensive. His therapist called it his autopilot mode, whenever he felt the need to lash out he was supposed to not respond or leave. It was safe to say he was failing at that.
