Highschool Cupid

TEN

THURSDAY 10/03

Today was Thursday. The fourteenth day in a row Seokjin decided to send a message to Namjoon. Taehyung had gladly sent it and he was now sat in his classroom, next to Hoseok. There were about ten students here already, including Namjoon, Jimin and Jeongguk who was making funny faces at his friends. Taehyung caught himself staring at Jeongguk for a bit too long, and stopped himself before he could get caught.

Suddenly, five girls whom he didn't know entered the classroom chatting loudly. Every one stared at them questionably, looking at them sitting on the empty tables in the middle of the classroom.

"Listen up fellows. We have been thinking, and we figured we have to learn who the frick is Cupid."

Taehyung looked at Hoseok, a frightened look plastered on his face. This was not part of the plan. People were supposed to use him without wondering who it was, because it was irrelevent anyway. The brunet looked back to the group of girls, wondering how much they knew.

"We figured it was obviously a student from here."

Hoseok gasped dramatically. Everyone turned to him including Taehyung.

"I thought it was a robot?"

Everyone looked at him questionably, waiting for him to keep going. Taehyung himself was doing so.

"Well yeah you know i've seen a few messages he has sent to people and they are always the same. Like it's programmed or something."

Taehyung squeezed Hoseok's hand under the table because he couldn't possibly thank him out loud. But he was extremely grateful to have such an amazing best friend with him right now. He let out the breath he was holding, looking back at the group of girls.

"He's right. Nayeon showed me a text she received and it's the exact same as mine except for the actual... you know the compliment."

"Maybe you're right. I didn't think about that. It would make sense, who here has everyone's number anyways?"

The girl laughed and stood up, she motioned for the others to follow her and all of them left the room. Hoseok then squeezed Taehyung's hand looking at him. The latter smiled brightly, showing off his boxy smile.

"You okay?"

Taehyung hummed lightly, taking out his textbook, given the class was going to start sooner or later. He did notice the shake in his hands while he was doing so. He can't be discovered. It would be bad. People would be mad at him for sure. And the others would be asking for informations all the time. He can't be discovered.

But thanks to Hoseok, he wouldn't have to be discovered. What a great friend he was. He noticed how he put so much emotion in his voice to make the lie believable. And it was believable, because it made sense after all.

What Taehyung didn't notice though, was how Namjoon had been staring at him the entire time. How he saw his frightened expression. How he saw him take Hoseok's hand in his own under the table, as if to say "thank you".

And now Namjoon was sure of something. Kim Taehyung is the highschool Cupid.
