Chapter 2 : The News

Taeguk's POV
I yawned and rubbed my heavy eyes.

"Mondays suck," I muttered under my breath, opening my locker lazily. "Like why the heck do Mondays exist? They really bring my mood down. Why must I wake up in the morning and go to school-"

"Hey, Taeguk!" Eunjung greeted me, giving me a high-five and pulled me into a hug.

"Hi," I chuckled.

"Let me guess, you slept at 3am again?" she examined my sleepy face.

"Yeah, I'm tireddd," I stretched restlessly.
"Where's Myonghee, by the way?"

"Here," a voice from behind startled me. "Want some?"

I looked at the packet of bubblegum she was holding. "I'll pass, thanks." She shrugged and put a hand around my shoulder. "You guys wanna hang out after school today?"

"Yeah, I'm free, alright. My mum's at home, she can take care of my brother," Eunjung replied.

Myonghee nodded and turned to me. "How about you?"

"Sure, just gotta text my mum first."

"Good, then. This is going to be fun! I gotta go now, see you guys after school outside the main gate!" Myonghee smiled as she waved us goodbye, walking towards her locker to retrieve her books.

After being choosy trying to choose which restaurant to eat at, we ended up eating at McDonalds.

"Seriously, we just walked around for almost half an hour thinking of where to eat, and we're back at square one? At McDonalds? Seriously?" Myonghee sighed.

I giggled. "Be grateful, yah, Myonghee. We can't be eating Swensens everytime we meet up! My parents don't print cash you know."

"And who said I was grumbling about choosing restaurants? It's just that my legs were almost on the verge of snapping."

"Yeah, right," I rolled my eyes.

"What? I'm serious! You guys better look out for me, I could've even gone to the hospital and got diagnosed as severe muscle soreness and-"

"Yeah, okay, I get it Drama Queen~"

"Hey! Stop talking trash, I'm not a Drama Queen!"

"Whateverrrr~"

As we were busy chatting, Eunjung who was glued onto her phone suddenly gasped, catching our attention.

"What?"

"What?"

"JINX!"

Eunjung remained still, her eyes wide open.

"Eunjung, what?" Myonghee asked again, eager to know what was she gasping about.

"Guys.. look at the news! I think my eyes are making fun of me. It says this, here, that Taehyung is officially joining BTS as a full-time member. Is it just me or do you guys see it too?" Eunjung said as she rubbed her eyes vigorously as if it was a dream.

"Jinjja?! Let me see!" Myonghee yelled as she snatched the phone away from Eunjung's hands.

"Wah, really! Omo, Taeguk, look!" Myonghee shoved the phone onto my face, hands unable to keep still that I had to hold the phone for myself.

I read the title. 'Kim Taehyung officially joins BTS as a full-time member'. Wah, Appa is now working full time! That's his dream! I was grinning from ear to ear, proud of my father. "Yeah, cool huh!"

"You don't seem surprised enough, though," Myonghee pouted.

"Yah! Of course I'm surprised! Taehyung's my bias- ouch! Eunjung, stop abusing my arm!" I turned and stared at her.

"I can't believe it! ATTENTION TO THE WORLD, KIM TAEHYUNG OFFICIALLY JOINE-" I covered Eunjung's mouth. "Have you lost your mind? Too loud," I whispered, earning a shy giggle from her. "Whoops."

Upon hearing this wonderful piece of news, we continued our lunch with food pieces splattering out of our mouths as we discussed about BTS's next comeback. We were all eager to see how BTS's upcoming comeback will look like.

"I'm home!" I yelled as I placed my shoes on the shoe rack.

"Welcome home my dearest daughter!" Appa's voice could be heard from upstairs.

As I took off my coat and placed it aside, I saw my father approaching me, walking down the stairs. I immediately ran into his arms.

He gave me a hug and pecked my cheek. "Hello sweetie! How has your day been?"

"Good, as always~"

"Great to know," he smiled as he took my bag off my shoulders. I like how he treats me; I'm 18 but he still acts like I'm still a kid. I enjoy his pampering; it makes me feel safe.

"By the way, Appa! You officially joined BTS as a full-time member?" I asked excitedly.

"Yes, sweetie! How did you know?" he asked, ruffling my hair. He seemed shocked that I knew about it.

"The news, of course. Appa, that has been your dream for so long! I'm proud of you!"

"But you know I won't be able to see any of you often like I always do, right?"

"Mhm, but I don't mind, I don't mind even one bit. It's your dream anyway!"

He patted my head. "What an understanding and caring girl I have."

I held his hands. "I love you, Appa."

He laughed. "Love you more."

We continued our lively conversation as we made our way to the living room, jokingly pushing each other throughout the way. I love my Appa, I really do.
