Feared Love | Taekook

"I don't think they were very fond of me." Blaine admitted once they had left the Kim household. "What? Noooo... I'm sure they love you." Taehyung reassured her, grabbing her hand in his. "You don't sound very convincing Taehyung, you'd think a teacher would be better at that." She joked, poking Taehyung's stomach playfully.

"They probably just have to warm up to you..." He gave her hand a small squeeze. An awkward silence fell in between them before Taehyung broke it. "Let's get you home okay?"

Taehyung stood with Blaine on her doorstep. He was grateful to no longer be spending his days alone but leading Blaine on gave him a sour taste in the mouth. "Thank you for the lovely day Tae."

"Thank you for accompanying me on this day." Blaine looked at her door before facing Taehyung again. "I'll see you again?"

"Of course." A gust of wind danced around them, making Blaine's curls bounce around while the woman's round droopy eyes were fixated on Taehyung. Taehyung shivered from the cold, not long ago had he handed Blaine his jacket so the woman could keep warm. It was definitely slowly getting autumn. "See you next time then Tae." She smiled, the little gap between her two front teeth catching Taehyung's attention.

The poor in love woman must have mistaken this as him looking at her lips considering she slowly leaned in and softly connected their lips. Taehyung stood frozen in place, okay, this was not what he expected of the night. She leaned back and her eyes fluttered open again. "Bye bye." She said, handing Taehyung his jacket back before disappearing inside. Taehyung awkwardly waved behind her before turning his back towards the door.

Once he had his nice cozy coat back on he wiped his lips. That did not feel nice at all.

Taehyung sat at his table, just quietly enjoying his lunch when Namjoon crashed down on the chair next to him. "Spill." He said, looking over at his friend. Taehyung dropped his sandwich, looking over at Namjoon. "Spill what?"

"Did you seriously make it official with that woman?"

"She's cute, why not?" Namjoon gave his friend a glare. "If I wasn't so busy dealing with a newborn I would've smacked some sense into your head."

"No need for that. I know what I'm doing."

"Do you? Do you really? Or are you deceiving yourself and that girl that you know what you're doing?" Taehyung put his finger against Namjoon's chest. "I am doing what's best."

"Sure you are."

"Jimin!" Jimin stopped in his tracks, a little too familiar teacher stopping in front of him. "What is it Jungkook?" Jungkook smiled, patting Jimin's shoulder. "Glad you ask... Can you give these papers to Taehyung?" Jimin looked down at the papers Jungkook was trying to hand them. "Do it yourself."

"I would've if I could.... But I can't."

"Ask Namjoon."

"...You're standing right here though..." Jungkook waved around with the papers, not understanding why Jimin just wouldn't pass the papers to his friend. "You're his friend, you see him more often than I do, please Jimin."

"Me and Taehyung are no longer friends."

"What? Why?"

"He turned out different than I thought. I won't go into detail but please don't bother me about issues concerning him anymore." Jimin stated, turning on his heel to leave a baffled Jungkook standing in the middle of the hallway. "...What the hell?"

Jungkook sat at a table in Taehyung's classroom, waiting for the older teacher to show up with their tea so they can discuss some plans together. He looked around the classroom, the walls filled with papers of famous artists and their artworks. A lot of random words scribbled on the chalkboard, arrows making their way from one word to another. It didn't make any sense to him, he was used to seeing numbers that all related to each other... Not some random words, like what even does Tromp l'Oeil mean and how does that even relate to art and not French?

The whole entire classroom just screamed 'Taehyung' it being very evident that the teacher had decorated his space by himself. "I got the tea." Taehyung announced, putting it down on the table. "Thank you." Jungkook thanked him with a kind smile before taking a small sip.

"So, how are we going to get the children closer with each other? I mean... Camp did a great deal already but I'm still missing that team dynamic." Jungkook asked, taking out his notepad. "I guess an outing outside of school would be nice for them." He looked up at Taehyung for confirmation. Taehyung just simply shrugged, his head was somewhere completely else. "..Are you okay?"

Taehyung leaned back in his chair, taking a sip of his tea. His face didn't betray anything but the Taehyung he knows would've already called Jungkook's idea dumb. "I'm fine." He eventually responded when Jungkook didn't speak up again. "Am I making you uncomfortable or??"

"No."

"Drama with your new boo?"

"No. We're great."

"About Jimin?"

"Jeon I said, I'm fine." Bingo, Jungkook hit the nail on it's head. He misses his best friend. "Why are you and Jimin no longer friends?"

"Because of what I was."

"...You mean what you are?" Taehyung quirked up an eyebrow. "Was."

"Taehyung we both know you don't like women."

"I don't like fuckers like you either."

"Oh really? Because if I recall correctly you told me you liked me too."

"...I was joking, leading you on-"

"You were not, you scaredy cat."

"I'm not a scaredy cat."

"Then proof it."
