Not So friends - Taekook

chapter - 2 ( Not so flirting )

Jungkook had half-expected things to be weird and awkward for at least a few days. He did not expect to feel as though he had never left. The only thing that’s different is the fact that he’s no longer in the same year as most of his friends, but Jungkook can barely consider that to be an issue.

Having spent more time than necessary unpacking his things and Robotically  introducing himself to his new roommates, Jungkook ends up being a little late for breakfast . It’s easy to be spotted if you’re one of the last ones to enter into the big dinning Hall, and that fact is highlighted by Jimin’s shouting of his name the second he passes through the doors. Dozens of heads turns around to look at him, and for the first time in years, Jungkook gets the urge to Choke Jimin. He spots Taehyung sitting next to Jimin and waving at him excitedly. And Jungkook tries his bestest not to swoon like a teenage girl who got noticed by his crush for the first time. And he doesn't even understand why he's feeling like this.

It’s funny how life turns out sometimes. They had started out as rivals, always trying to prove themselves better than the other in classes and out on the pitch, despite being on the same team.

Things changed after their second year when they began to hang out unwillingly because of the same group of friends. Jungkook always liked to be alone. He studies on his own even when he got paired with a partner on project works. Taehyung on the other hand, likes working with people, he has a whole university as friends, he basically Charms people no matter the gender.

At first Jungkook was reluctant to talk with taehyung thinking how can someone be so lively. He thought taehyung was faking to be nice. But after hanging out with him sometimes along with his group he changed his opinion. Taehyung was not only lively but the most pure hearted human being he ever met or heard. But at the same time, he can be so intimidating to the one he dislikes. One of them used to be jungkook. So he used to be astonished the fact that the same person who was used to sent glares to his way is cuddling Jimin.

Slowly they became friends. They started hanging out without other's and enjoyed each others company.

“Could you be any louder,” Jungkook hears Yoongi's rough voice probably been awoken by his loud shrieking. Next to him, Jin laughs loudly and took a big bite from his large stack of pancake and waves at Jungkook. Why was he friends with them again? Oh yeah they were the only ones who can put up with his moody attitude.

Their table is without question, the most loudest one. when he sees his loud ass group of friends beaming at him from across the Hall, Jungkook suddenly wants to cry. God, he’s missed them so much.

When he finally makes it over to them, Namjoon is the first one to rise from his seat and pull him in for a hug. Jungkook feels his worries leaving from his body.

“Good to have you back,” he smiles which released a pair of his infamous dimples. Jungkook feels like he's finally back to his old self. A little mischief slips into his features and he leans forward again to whisper into Jungkook’s ear, “soccer games are starting next week. I'm hoping to see you back on the pitch. Hasn’t been the same without you kook.”

Jungkook smiles showing his bunny teeth, “I’ll be there.”

Next one was Jin who  made his way across the table with his hand stretching out, and Jungkook can’t help the grin that spreads across his face when they do the handshake that they’ve created for themselves all those years ago. He's embarrassed to do it here in the middle of the dining hall. But hell he missed this so much. It’s been so long since he’d last done it. The group of his friends burst out laughing when they ended the weird handshake with bumping their chests jumping. Jungkook can hear the giggles and laughs from other tables. Some were mocking. but he stopped giving shit to them a long time ago. Next up is yoongi who gave a small pat to his hair smiled showing his gummy smile. Jungkook can't help but noticing something or more like someone missing...

“Where’s hoseok hyung?”

“He got a girlfriend,” Jin says with a teasing grimace. “Spends all his free time with her nowadays. He’s probably somewhere over there.” he pointed to a certain direction and it takes Jungkook a quick scan to notice the familiar mop of Red hair.

“Hey Jungkook,” Jin starts, swallowing down a mouthful of pancakes with some milk. “How have you not put on any weight with all the snacks I sent?”

“ I Turned it into muscle,” Jungkook grins, settling into the space that Taehyung seemed to have saved for him.

Jimin pokes at his arm and scoffs. “What muscle?”

“Muscle you don’t have,” Jungkook retorts. Jimin glares and mutters a brat before resuming his eating. He definitely expected a slap on the back of his head. He thinks he's got spared because of his returning from a long time. He smiles and grabs a slice of buttered toast and takes a big bite, trying to distract himself from the gentle press of Taehyung’s arm and tigh against his. When did he even moved his chair so close to him?

Jimin has incredibly sharp eyes, Jungkook knows, he can notice anything from 20Meter radius. Nothing can escape his eyes which disappear when he smiles.

That's fucking weird.

“so, Jungkookie” Jimin starts, eyes following the movement of Taehyung’s hand as it reaches out for a fried egg before putting it on Jungkook’s plate. “ I can finally breath  from Taehyung's mopping of missing- " He pauses "you", Attention momentarily shifted onto Taehyung who seems to forgot about his own plate and serving and eating from jungkook's. It took a few seconds for Jungkook to register what Jimin just said. But before he can ask what he meant, someone shouts Jimin’s name and he rises to his feet.

“Shit, I forgot I have to give the finishing touches to our project I did with him. Kook, I gotta go, I'll catch up with you later, see you guys.” and In a blink of an eye he sprinted towards the door.

Jungkook, a little dumbfounded, only returns to eating after a pat on his thigh from concerned Taehyung who seems to not hear what Jimin had said.

“You okay there bunny?”

Oh shit there's that Nick name again.

Jungkook will never get used to that Nick name no matter how many years it's been. When they are in there 1st year, and newly enemies turned into friends, they are hanging out in rooftop without the guys. Taehyung just looking at him while Jungkook was blabbering something about the anime he recently watched with so much hand movement gestures and suddenly taehyung grabbed Jungkooks cheeks between his palms making him abruptly stop. He looked at Jungkook doe eye's which widened.

"You look like a bunny" Taehyung blurted out making Jungkook cheeks to heat up. Taehyung just cooed pinching Jungkook's cheek calling him cute. And from that day taehyung started calling him bunny and Jungkook's poor poor heart is still not used to that.

Realising he kinda zoned out again Jungkook cleared his throat “Yeah, I’m good hyung. I guess I still can’t quite wrap my mind around the fact that I’m back, here, with you guys” the last word Jungkook said looking at Taehyung's intense eyes shyly.

“I can’t either bunny, but I’m happy you are here, with me.” Taehyung replied whispered the last word to Jungkook with his deep voice making Jungkook blush a bright pink.

"Isn't the climate kinda getting hot here? " Jin said fanning himself.

"What? are you guys not happy that our little "friend" returned after a long time? " Taehyung questioned looking at Jungkook.

They share soft smiles looking into each others eyes. Jin looked like he can't believe what he's hearing. Namjoon smiles knowingly.  Unsurprisingly, they remain blissfully oblivious, or just pretends to not hear them as they return to their own bubble and started feeding each other while whispering things to each other and even yoongi can’t help but shake his head with poorly masked disbelief.
