Feared Love | Taekook

"Well that's just disappointing."

Jungkook sat at Seokjin's table, twiddling with his fingers. "Not everyone is as lucky as you when it comes to love Seokjin."

Seokjin looked up from the dishes he was doing, giving Jungkook a certain look. That look was all Jungkook needed to know he was in for a speech. "Jungkook, do tell me how a divorce is considered lucky. You know Kook, when I was your age-"

"You're only 5 years older-"

"I was married with children, working a fulltime job, only seeing my children in weekends because they would always be in bed when I left and when I returned-"

"Okay Jin I get it-"

"The pain of not being able to see my children grow up is something you will never understand Jungkook Jeon don't underestimate this-"

While Seokjin was still rambling, Jungkook had slowly made his way to the door, quietly putting on his coat and slipping out of the door.

"Well anyway I think you get my point, right Koo- That motherfucker."

Taehyung sat at his desk, scanning through the tests to see if he could notice something sketchy about them. A soft knock on his door disturbed his thoughts. "Come in." Taehyung muttered, he put off his glasses and rubbed in his tired eyes. They grew heavier with every word he read on the sheets in front of him. He loved his teaching job but damn is it tiring.

The door slowly opened, revealing a man Taehyung REALLY didn't want to see. "Before you kick me out- it's serious." Jungkook quickly spoke, not giving Taehyung a chance to kick him out. "What is it Jeon?" Jungkook reached in his pocket to fish out a piece of paper. "It's about Marjorie-" At the mention of that precious girl's name Taehyung's ears perked up. "What's wrong with her?" Jungkook took a few strides towards Taehyung and handed him the paper. Eventhough Taehyung was tired, the words he read on the paper smacked him awake.

"...They outed her."

"The school is planning to kick her out and report her to the police." Jungkook looked over at Taehyung for any reaction, but the man just sat in silence with his eyebrows knitted together. "I figured I had to tell you-" Before Jungkook could finish his sentence Taehyung had already flown out of his chair and striding towards the principal's office. "W-wait! Taehyung don't do something you'll regret!" Jungkook quickly ran after him, the last time he saw Taehyung like that is when he got smacked across the face.

"Mister Longstreet." Taehyung slammed the paper down on the principal's desk. Jungkook who just ran into the room flinched from the loud sound. "You're not seriously considering kicking her out right?"

"...What she's doing is illegal."

"...It actually isn't- the laws are only directed towards homosexual me-"

"Are you trying to outsmart me Mister Jeon?" Jungkook quickly zipped up his mouth. Taehyung's gaze slowly shifted from Jungkook back to Mister Longstreet. "She is one of our better students."

"She will tarnish our reputation."

"Marjorie hasn't even acted out." Mister Longstreet's eyes narrowed, he slowly stood up and got up into Taehyung's personal space. "You knew... didn't you?"

"I did." Taehyung gritted through his teeth. "You should've told us, now your job is on the line as well."

"I am the children's trust person, their secrets are supposed to stay with me and me only. Also, you can't afford losing one of your best teacher."

"Ooohhh burrnnn."

"MISTER JEON!"

"I apologize, sir." He folded his hands together and averted his gaze to the floor. Mister Longstreet looked back at Taehyung. "You're quite confident, saying you're one of the best." Taehyung quirked his eyebrow up. "Why? You said so yourself. My classes excel." The principal let out a dry laugh. "Give me one good reason not to kick out Marjorie."

"...I'll stay homeroom teacher." A small smirk tugged on the principal's lips. "Okay. Glad we got to that agreement. I won't report her."

"Good." Taehyung stuck his hand out, a serious look plastered across his face. When it came to the wellbeing of his students, he was never playing around. Mister Longstreet accepted his hand, shaking it firmly. "Now leave my office." Taehyung turned on his heel, storming out of the office. "You too Mister Jeon." Jungkook awkwardly cleared his throat, shuffling out of the office.

"Woowwww that was se- I'll shut my mouth." Jungkook quickly zipped his mouth again after seeing the scowl on Taehyung's face. "I'll be taking my leave now." Taehyung announced, done with the young teacher's antics  "Oh okay, yeah. I have to go soon as well. Don't overwork yourself!" Taehyung rolled his eyes in an attempt to hide his smile. Stupid Jeon.
