Asking for Devastation

You are sus for sabotaging my heart.

~♡~

The university hallway was crowded with students rushing to their classes and study halls to prepare for the start of exam week. Jungkook had his head thrown back as he laughed loudly at something a classmate was saying while loitering in the middle of the hall. Taehyung leaned against one of the thick pillars decorating the long hallway, a prime location to subtly stare while staying hidden. Looking at Jungkook from here, you'd never be able to guess how lonely and broken he actually was.

"Boo!" a sudden voice from behind Taehyung yelled.

Taehyung startled and turned, accidentally slamming his shoulder into the cement pillar.

"Ouch!" he yelped, glaring at Yoongi as he rubbed his sore arm.

Yoongi clutched his stomach as he doubled over with laughter. "You should have seen your face! What had you so enamored anyway?" He peered around the pillar and hummed in amused understanding.

"I was just looking at the, um, the posters on the wall about, um--you know what? It doesn't matter now!" Taehyung grabbed Yoongi's arm and pulled him away.

Yoongi tsked and wiggled out of his grasp. "I came over this way to find Jungkook." He turned and waved enthusiastically. "Hey! Jungkook!"

Jungkook turned while Taehyung squeaked and ducked behind Yoongi's small frame. He hadn't spoken to Jungkook since the kiss that he had initiated a couple of days prior. It was absurd, considering he was the one who had kissed the man he was supposed to despise, but it was a conversation he wasn't ready to have.

"What's gotten into you?" Yoongi inquired, turning to look at Taehyung with a frown.

"Nothing!" Taehyung squeaked. "I just remembered that I have an assignment due, like, now!"

He took off running in the opposite direction down the hall before Yoongi could question him further. Unfortunately, his thoughts were still on Jungkook, which distracted him from seeing the 'wet floor' sign. His hurried rush sent him slipping into the mop bucket and crashing through the nearest doorway.

Taehyung has suffered a fair share of humiliation in his lifetime, so the rush of laughter from the classroom full of students over something as trivial as this hardly bothered him. He picked his (now soaked) body from the floor and gave an exaggerated bow to the amused students filming him. He noticed Namjoon's roommate looking slightly concerned and shot him a quick wink to let him know that he was okay.

"Stop laughing!"

Taehyung's eyes widened at the familiar, deep voice behind him. Praying he was imagining things, he turned and came face to face with Jungkook.

Jungkook reached out and gently grabbed Taehyung's forearm to pull him out of the doorway. "If I see that video posted anywhere I will come for every single one of you until I discover who posted it, and then I will post an even more embarrassing video of you getting your ass beat!" he shouted into the classroom.
