"nouvel étudiant" | taekook highschool au

☆quinze☆

a week passes and all taehyung and jeongguk could think about was what their friends had said to them.

they seriously thought we were dating?

both boys were sitting in the flower feild that they went to the first time they hung out alone together.

it was pretty late for jeongguk to be out, past 10pm to be exact, but his mother hadn't called him yet so he stayed put.

neither boy had said it was a date but they both were aware that it kinda was.

they were sitting close next to eachother when taehyung lightly kissed the side of jeongguk's neck.

"stop, that tickles." jeongguk giggled.

"it does, huh? does this tickle too?" taehyung teased as he began to tickle jeongguk's sides.

jeongguk burst out laughing and squirmed around as taehyung tickled him mercilessly.

they continued to mess around: tickling, pinching, poking, teasing. suddenly, taehyung pulls jeongguk by the waist in the midst of their playful episode and jeongguk tenses up once again, just lile how he did on their first date.

taehyung frowned at this and settled down, looking at jeongguk who was paying attention to the floor.

"why don't you think you're beautiful?" taehyung asked after a moment of silence.

the question took jeongguk completely off guard.

no one had ever asked him that question before.

i mean, all of the people close to jeongguk, those people being his five friends and his parents, all knew of jeongguk's terrible insecurity.

he'd been dealing with it for around a year and a half now.

but because they all knew about it already, they never really asked him about it.

so, he didn't really know how to answer taehyung's question other than to give him the whole story.

he took a deep breathe, "it's a long-"

"i have time." taehyung said, sitting back, not taking his eyes off of the younger boy.

"i just- there was this boy... his name was jongin. my ex-boyfriend. he was my first crush since middle school, my first actual relationship, my first kiss. i honestly thought he was perfect. he obviously wasn't but i was too infatuated with him to see that. i thought he didn't even know who i was since he never seemed to noticed me..."

~flashback~

"oh my gosh, jimin, there he is!" jeongguk whispered to jimin, pointing to a boy down the hall.

"lemme guess, jongin?" jimin said, an indifferent expression on his face.

"duh!"

"yknow, you don't have to point him out to me everytime you see him. i do know who jongin is." jimin laughed slightly.

"i know but- ah." jeongguk cut himself off by sighing dreamily as the older biy walked by.

"you're crushing so bad." jimin pointed out, amused by jeongguk's expression.

"ugh, i know. i need to get over it and let him go." jeongguk sighed again but more upset this time.

"what? why?"

"well, face it, he's never gonna realise that i exsist because he's way out of my league when it comes to popularity. plus,  he's bisexual which means i have to compete with the guys AND the girls who go after him. not to mention the fact that i'm too shy to ever confess to him in the first place." jeongguk reasoned, putting things into perspective for a second.
