Today's Euphoria || Taekook

Chapter • 2 •

Of all the places you could've sat, you had to pick his seat didn't you?

"Oh" was all I managed to say. I quickly got up from the seat and sat on the empty desk in front of Namjoon with my head down.

Soon enough one by one 4 classes went by and everyone left for lunch.

"Wanna head to the cafeteria Mister. Idon'twantanytroubleonmyfirstday." I hear Hoseok mock me and a smack after that, I presumed it was him getting smacked by Namjoon "Leave it alone."

"I fucked up big time, didn't I?" I say lifting my head from the desk and look at both of them. Namjoon gives me a weak smile and I get a nod from Hoseok. "Ah forget it. Let's just go." I say shaking my head vigorously and getting up from my seat.

If mom hadn't been forced to marry again we wouldn't have moved to Seoul and this crazy ass school, I would be back at my old high school although I'm glad that I managed to make these two my friends on my first day here or else I would have died off of the embarrassment. "Over there." Hoseok says bringing me back to reality.

As we walk towards the table by the window everyone stares at us. Jesus this school gets weirder and weirder.

While we ate I got to know Namjoon and Hoseok a little bit more. When Namjoon was about 9 his mom got married to the CEO of Jeon Group which practically made Namjoon and Jungkook step-brothers, since then both have been at each other's throats. "Since then we've hated each other & Well that's my story." Namjoon finishes saying.

"What about you?" I turn to Hoseok.

"Hm.. My dad works for the Jeon Group at the assistant level. Namjoon moved to the Jeon Mansion all those years ago when Mr. Jeon married Namjoon's mum, me and Namjoon met at the wedding and hit it off ever since, we are practically neighbours and 'Lovers.' " Hoseok air quotes, I raise my eyebrows, then came Namjoon's famous smack.

"Stoph it. Anyways I have my eyes on someone else." Namjoon says getting back to his mean, blushing? He's really blushing.

"Ouch...! Come man, I was just messing with Taehyung. Anyways as I was saying when it came to deciding which high school to attend, we immediately picked Bangtan High."

"Call me V, Well I'm glad you guys picked this school or else I don't think I wouldn't have survived my time here." I say with a little awkwardness.

"Oh look Ye-na who we have here, the talk of the school" a voice says from behind.

OH MY GOD I know that voice.

"Hey Hoseok." "Hi Namjoon. What are you guys doing with this freak?" Yi-soo and Ye-na say sitting beside me and pushing me off of the chair I was on. "Oh my bad."

"Hey are you okay?" Namjoon rushes towards me to pick me up. "Did you really have to push him ?" Hoseok questions with a strong voice. "Guys I'm fine." I say to calm them down.

"See he says he's fine." Ye-na says, trying to hold Hoseok's hands which he quickly jerks off.

"Leave." Namjoon says authoritatively which makes Yi-soo a little hurt and she starts crying.

"Lets go Yi-soo." Both rush away from our table.

"Jeez what's their problem?" Hoseok says looking at them walk away. "Are you okay V?" Namjoon asks me again. "Yeah I'm fine. That's just Yi-soo & Ye-na being themselves." I reply wiping off my sleeves.

"You know them?" Hoseok gives a puzzled look. "Well basically I live with them." Both give me a confused look. "They both are my sisters" I say as they look even confused. "I never knew they had a brother. But why would they be so mean to their brother" Namjoon says.

"Well they are my step-sisters so..." I finish. "That makes sense." Hoseok raises his eyebrows and nods.

"Yeah.. It has been just me and my mom since I was 5, my dad was forcefully removed from the picture. Then a year ago my mom got married to Mr. Lee and with him came along his two daughters Yi-soo and Ye-na, 5 months back mom got into a car accident and has been in the hospital ever since." I say as they listen to me giving me all their attention.

As their faces turn sad, I say "Don't worry, they both have been treating me since me and my mom moved to Seoul. So I've got used to being treated that way.

"Hope your mum gets better man." Hoseok says and Namjoon looks at me giving me a small smile.

"Wow that got sad reeeal fast." I chuckle. They both reply with a smile.

RING.

"Okay let's go." Namjoon says as we keep our trays at the counter. "Time for P.E" Hoseok says in a happy tone. "Someone looks happy." I say looking at him and as I turn to Namjoon, who has a dreadful look on his face "What's wrong with you?". "He basically hates PE." Hoseok playfully puts his hand over Namjoon's shoulder. "Are you that bad?" I ask Namjoon.

"Oh no no, he isn't bad. He's really good at sports but just happens to hate being around girls." Hoseok replies as we walk towards the boys locker room.

"Shut up before I knock your teeth out." Namjoon says looking Hoseok dead in the eye. Hoseok raises his hands in defeat. "Sorry my bad." We quickly changed into our gym clothes, "See you later." Hoseok waves at us and makes an exit through another door towards the football ground.

"So how have you liked the school so far?" Namjoons asks as we walk towards the field. "Well everything's going as smooth as I expected it to be." I answer as I walk backwards facing Namjoon . "That bad huh?" Namjoon says understanding my sarcasm.

"For what it's worth I'm glad that I haven't been in serious trouble except for that shithead from..." I feel a firm chest collide with my back.

"Shithead?" I froze when I heard the voice same as before, It was him. 'Not again man' I shut my eyes trying to think of a way out of the mess which was coming my way. I feel a hand wrap around my right arm, nest thing I know I'm being dragged away. When I opened my eyes I'm inside the washroom with Namjoon, who I presume was the one to drag me here. "Why are we hidin-" Namjoon quickly puts his finger on top of my lips shushing me. After a few minutes of silence, Namjoon gives a clear signal and we both get out & rush towards the field.

As soon as we reach "HEY PARK AND THE NEW KID 10 LAPS ROUND THE FIELD RIGHT NOW. GO!!!!" Coach maybe in his mid 40's shouts across the field.

Damn it.

Both of us were tired and restless by the 7th lap. "Caused trouble already?" Hoseok says as he catches the football that was thrown his way making us stop on our tracks, The other players were giving a look our way too even, the three shitheads, Jungkook and his friends. "Focus Guys." Coach says clapping and giving us a furious look.

Soon we both finished our laps and the coach asked us to clean up.

"Sorry, if only I hadn't- ." I say picking the equipment, "Calm down V. It's his fault." Namjoon says referring to his step-brother.

I guess he really hates him to be blaming Jungkook for my mistakes.

I brush off the judgemental thought and get back to finishing the clean up.

After approximately 10 minutes of cleaning in silence, we sit by the bleachers "It felt like we had been cleaning for ages jeez!!" Namjoon just smiles and nods at my comment. "You ready to go?" Namjoon says standing up.

We change back into our clothes and walk back towards the class, "Hey new guy the history teacher's looking for you by the lab." A random guy says staring at me. "Want me to come with you?" Namjoon says looking at my weirded out look. "It's okay, you go on ahead." I say going towards the direction of the science lab.

"Why is the teacher looking for me again?" I say to the guy from before but all I get is his silence.

"Hey man." I grab his arm to stop him. "Shut up and keep walking." He turns around with an angry look.

Huh? This doesn't feel right.

"Look what we've got here." I hear a voice as we turn around the corner of the hallway.

You've gotta be kidding me.
