AIN'T MY FAULT | taekook

Chapter 9

■■■■

The roads were slippery, the last night rain's aftermath were beautifully displaced all around. Little drops of water falling from trees leaflets. Kids were running around, playing in the small ponds formed at the roadsides.

Taehyung walked to his campus today. In a mood for a long walk to clear his mind before attending classes, he skip to take a bus. Hands buried deep inside his pocket, his wore a loose buttoned shirt, hugging his frame with every passing wind.

He smiled a little when he saw Jinyoung waiting for him at the entrance,
"Hey. I was waiting for you. You not even met me after Jackson dropped you." Jinyoung pouted.

Taehyung chuckled, but deep down he felt bad for lying to his friend,
"Actually I had a important errand to run. But I'm so thankful for yesterday."

"Oh come on. But did Mr.Jeon accepted it?" Jinyoung asked, eyes wide.

Taehyung himself don't know about that. He had dropped it on the ground the second Mr. Jeon had started panicking. He don't know if the other would have accepted it or not. Though he was hoping so.

Taehyung nodded looking down, he know he can't tell others about what happend yesterday. His teacher could loose his job. And maybe Taheyung didn't want to stretch the topic anymore.

"What a relief. Well glad Jackson was useful for something." Both of them laughed at this.
Just then Jackson came walking towards them, and supriselny Sehun by his side.

"Hey darling." Jackson smiled and kissed his boyfriend's forehead. Which may have made Taehyung remember something he so wants to forget.

"Gosh. You take more time to get ready then me. Hey Sehun." Jinyoung greeted the male who smiled at him and then turned towards the other.

"Hey Taehyung." He smiled, Jinyoung looking shocked at them.
"You know each other?!"
Taehyung nodded his head at the male, smiling a little.

"Yeah. We just met coincidently" Sehun laughed. Eyes on Taehyung.

"Great. Actually Taehyung I'm ditching today's class. You see these boys, they are having a football match today, and I'm gonna cheer for my sorry ass love, you should join us." Jinyoung nudged Taehyung, who looked at him nervously.

"I don't know Jinyoung. It's Miss. Song lecture, what will happen if she find out?"

"Ahh don't worry. She never cares that much. Plus we'll have so much fun. Please."

"Yeah Taehyung you should come. You will be flat over my football skills." Jackson barged, hugging Jinyoung's side.

"It will be fun, really." Sehun too piped in.

Taehyung looked at the three who were looking at him expectedly, "Okayyyyy" he smiled.

"Woahhh. Let's go." Jinyoung dragged him, Jackson and Sehun following behind.

~▪~▪~▪~▪~

"COME ON JACKSON, KICK THE FUCKING BALL." Jinyoung shouted standing, as Jackson was only throwing him flying kisses in between the game.

Taehyung chuckled beside the other, he too was enjoying the game. The boys were playing really good. Especially Sehun. Taehyung felt nice there, outside. The sun was bright today, totally opposite of yesterday.

"This boy never gonna be serious." Jinyoung sat beside the other, taking out his water bottle, thirsty from all the shouting.

"He really enjoys his life." Taehyung laughed, eyes on the game.

The game got intense with time, as well the heat of the sun. Both Jinyoung and Taehyung were fanning themselves, the boys all the field also sweating waterfalls. Taehyung opened his shirt's uppermost button, feeling too hot.

Sehun and his team won the match, all were extremely tired by now. Jackson and Sehun came to the two after all members left. Jinyoung passed a towel to his boyfriend, who wanted to hug the other, but was stopped by a glare.

"You really played well. I enjoyed the game a lot." Taehyung smiled, passing Sehun and Jackson a water bottle.

"Glad you liked it, but you have to watch it in this hot weather." Sehun commented, drinking the water from the bootle.

"Now let's go to canteen. It will be lunch time in few minutes anyway." Jinyoung smiled.

"Yeah. I'm so hungry." Jackson pouted. Jinyoung smacked his back, hand then intertwining with his. Both started walking, Taehyung and Sehun following behind, chatting.

They passed the hallways, talking and joking around. Taehyung had a wild discussion with Sehun about dogs, both laughing and walking, now side by side.

Unknown to the dark eyes, watching them from the end of the hallway.

~▪~▪~▪~▪~

Taehyung and Jinyoung entered their Maths classroom together. They were lucky to get there before Mr. Jeon himself.

Taehyung sat at his seat, slowly looking at the other, afraid he might catch his stare. Mr. Jeon was busy discussing the topics, eyes on the board.

Students were listening quietly. Taehyung don't know if he should be happy or angry that the other's is behaving like he had not kissed the life out of his student yesterday.

Mr. Jeon finished his lecture and moved in the front, "Is Lee Hana present today?" He asked.

When he got no in answer, he nodded and started packing notes,
"As all of your assignments are submitted, I would like if you'all start preparing for some tests that may conduct next month." He announced, eyes moving to the whole class.

Taehyung was shocked to hear this. That means his assignment is accepted. He was relived that at least he will be passed.

The bell rang, students leaving the room as fast as they can. Taehyung was so busy in his thoughts that he continued sitting there. His eyes on the hands, playing with the book's ends.

"Taehyung aren't you coming? Let's go" Jinyoung called for him, standing by the door.

Taehyung flinched and looked up, and then around the room. Mr. Jeon was on his desk, arranging his papers.

Taehyung looked at his side profile. He wanted to go to the other. Question him, maybe shout at him. But he is still scared, and he know he can't face the other's intense eyes without shivering.

"Taehyung!" Jinyoung was waiting by the door. Taehyung glanced between and started packing his things.

"Yeah yeah I'm coming. You walk ahead, I'll gather all this and join you in Physics lab." Taehyung yelled to the other.
He know Jinyoung always meets Jackson  before going to next class.

"Come fast!" Jinyoung yelled and walked out of the room, Taheyung quickly gathered his things, not wanting to be again alone in a room with Mr. Jeon.

He took in backpack and walked to the door, and when was a step away from it, he was suddenly yanked back by his wrist.

His back collided with the wall, eyes staring up scarily back at Mr. Jeon intense ones. Said male was looking at him, jaw clenched, his left hand placed beside Taehyung's head.

Taehyung started breathing slowly, the other towering over his small figure. He thought the other might repeat his yesterday's action. Taehyung with fast beating heart looked up at the other.

Mr. Jeon lifted his right hand, Taehyung for a moment thought the male is gonna grab his jaw, but what he didn't expected was Mr. Jeon to slowly bring his hand to the other's chest, and close his shirt's opened button, figures lingering their for few seconds.

Mr. Jeon with a last glare at the other, redirected his hands back and left the room, without looking at Taehyung for once.

Taehyung stood their panthing, senses clouded by the other's strong cologne.
He mind was still trying to process what the fuck happend.
