8: First time meet




Jungkook is shaking in anger.

A blinding and undeniably raging anger.

It's difficult to pinpoint the last time he has ever felt this angry, but today, this definitely tops it off.

He is having a hard time grasping - understanding - as to why this guy, who he's been gawking at for the past two weeks now, just came out of no where and punched him across the face.

As far as Jungkook's memory goes, he doesn't recall ever speaking in a negative way about him or even taking to him - who's name he found out to be Jimin - to cause him to hit him out of no where. When the dean of disciplinary sat them down in want of an explanation to what happened, Jimin refused to explain. He only crossed his arms with a mean scowl on his face.

Like some stubborn fucking child.

So because of his silence, they were suspended for a week, to which threw Jungkook to go into an inner tantrum because he didn't even do anything! If he's suspended, then who knows what could happen to his soccer and track n' field scholarship he earned in order to attend this university. Now because of this umpa lumpa looking ass, he might be kicked off the team, maybe even out of the school since he can't afford to pay for it.

This is one of the most prestigious schools in South Korea. With that reputations comes a large price of money from the students. Majority of the students here are rich that their parents can just pay off easily, and then there's Jungkook with a dead beat dad and a hard working mom to rely on. That's why he worked hard in high school to get this scholarship.

To start new, for him and his mom, and hopefully they can leave his dad for good.

And now because of him, he might have it entirely removed.

The risk....

Fucking Jimin.

He's going to pay for this, oh real good.

Jungkook didn't care how beautiful the man is, he just risked his whole future.

For himself and his mother.

The anxiety that came with that thought was torturing enough, being left in a room with him was just a tick that'd end up with an explosion with the wrong move.

One wrong move, just one, and Jungkook will definitely earn his suspension for sure.

At the moment they're in a small room with a single window against the wall. The principal sent them to this room to wait for their paper work, but the tension between Jungkook and Jimin is extremely high. Jungkook's need to grab Jimin by his fire hair and decide on either slamming his face against the metal table repeated, or do something else entirely stupid because of his still hidden obsession over him.

Both sounding very tempting.

To avoid something Jungkook will regret, he slides the metal chair and slumps down, running a hand through his black hair in frustration. What is he going to do? He can't go home like this because his mom will sure want to file a law suit against Jimin. The last thing he wants right now is for his mom to waste so much money on a lawyer when it can be used for something else more useful.

He's an adult now either way, but always a child through his mother's eyes.

He's going to have to disappear again for sometime from home until the injuries heal.

Jungkook closes his eyes but snaps them open when the chair on the opposite side of him slides against the floor, seeing the ginger haired man slump against the chair, a mean glare filling his eyes to the wall behind Jungkook. The raven haired man scowls and crosses his arms over his chest.

"Will I finally get an explanation as to why you decided out of no where to punch me across the face?" Jungkook couldn't help but ask, his tone incredibly low and obviously angry.

Jimin's eyes snap to him, nearly making him want to slap himself across the face for sounding too cold to have Jimin look at him in that hateful way. A shiver runs down his spine but he held his composure with a head high, "Well?"

The glare continued on for a few more seconds before Jimin turns his gaze to focus on the ground, lips pursed, refusing to speak. As much as Jungkook hates it, he wanted nothing more than to hear the voice behind the small man. All he heard were mainly grunts and groans while he tried to defend himself from this bitch.

He needs more.

And unfortunately..... Not because he's pissed.

But for his own guilty satisfaction.

Despite Jimin's stupid move, Jungkook cannot deny is stupid attraction for him is still vividly present, just with anger.

Is his voice as soft as the texture of his lips and facial features, or dark and husky like the sharpness behind his eyes? Jungkook can't read him, and he only wishes he paid attention in his psychology class last year. He still managed to pass with an A regardless.

The waiting only caused Jungkook to grow a hint of annoyance, shifting in his seat uncomfortably, "Can you at least fucking say-"

His growl is cut off mid sentence when the door opens, a guy slowly peaking his head inside towards them.

Wait, he knows him.

Jungkook furrows his eyebrows to the dirty blonde haired guys with golden rim glasses, watching as he hesitantly enters the room and closes the door behind him.

The sound of a chair clinging the floor catches Jungkook's off guard from him, and he slowly m looks to Jimin, seeing his eyes widen and lips parted in shock.

So they know each other.

"Taehyung? What are you doing here?"

The sound of his voice sent some peace of mind to Jungkook's conscious, slightly fluttering his eyes to how soft yet edgy it sounds. Just like him. It was a tone so satisfying that Jungkook only wishes to hear that voice before he falls asleep to keep him at ease from the nightmares.

Too bad he'd be the face of his nightmares because of his fucking temper.

"Sit."

His train of thought snapped upon hearing the other boy's voice, slightly shocked to hear such a deep yet gentle voice escaping that kid. Well, he shouldn't be referring him as a kid since he does look a little older than Jungkook.

Yet his voice has no connection to his features at all.

Such a deep and commanding voice on such a soft aura.

Jungkook's eyes raised to how obediently Jimin sits down slowly on his chair, head down in shame. Who is this kid to cause Jimin to be so... Submissive?

The thought sent an uncomfortable feeling in Jungkook's chest to who this guy, well Taehyung, is to Jimin. Are they friends? More than that? Related somehow? Who is he?

And how did he manage to get Jimin to fold so easily too?

The dirty blonde haired boy sits on the other chair of the square table, nervously fiddling with the rim of his white hoodie sleeves, looking down at the table as if to look for the right words to say. Jungkook took that opportunity to study him carefully; a nice volume of dirty blonde hair on his head, complimenting his wide eyes and pouty lips. A cute little mole is placed on his nose and the site of it makes him look so much more innocent. His golden skin compliments his overall profile and Jungkook has came to the thought that he is one of the most attractive human beings he has ever came across off, apart from Jimin of course.

Jimin is different, he can't compare the two at all.

They both have their own unique beauty.

"So," Taehyung chokes out, slowly looking up at the two, "You guys are getting suspended huh?"

What?

Jungkook blinks at him, unsure how to feel at the reminder he's going to get suspended. Why is this guy here anyways? To rub in their suspension to their faces? To mock him? Jungkook has learned enough to definitely not judge a book by it's cover, thanks to Jimin.

He may be attractive, doesn't mean he ain't a dick.

Thanks for the reminder.

The thought only made Jungkook aggravated and rise to his feet, "I don't have fucking time for-"

"I can bail you out of suspension."

...... Excuse you?!

What the hell is this guy on about? Jungkook only grew more irritated to how Taehyung could just make up a lie like that to his face. Does he think he's an idiot? Is that it?

You can't just bail out of something like that?! Especially if there's paperwork involved.

"What are you talking about Tae?" Jimin asks softly, sending a strong blow to Jungkook's chest to the delicate way he's staring at the other boy.

What a vast difference from how he looks at Jungkook.

Taehyung licks his lips slowly and fiddles with his thumbs on the table, "You guys have a scholarship that could be risked with this suspension. Possibly get kicked out the team and probably not be sticking around this school any longer if you guys don't have enough money for the tuition, in which I doubt you guys have that much money laying around."

A shiver went down Jungkook's spine, eying the boy in slight suspicion. How the fuck does he know about the scholarship? And why would he even care so much about it either way? Jungkook has only seen this kid twice and both times the boy either literally ran away or looked at him weird. Why is he trying to be the savior?

Jungkook eyes the way Taehyung slowly nods to himself and looks up at them, "I can release your suspension to something else less problematic for your record, under one condition for each."

You've got to be kidding me?

Jungkook leans back against his chair with a clear scowl on his lips. He doesn't like doing anything anyone tells him to do besides his mother. Jungkook is an obedient person but if it's for anyone's own personal pleasure, that's a big no for him.

He's growing a hate towards Taehyung by the second.

His thoughts immediately stopped when Taehyung snapped his eyes towards him, feeling a shiver run down his spine to how stern the boy's eyes appeared. He definitely looks like he's fed up with life at this point.

"Jungkook,"

Wow.....

If it was possible to die and come back to life at this very moment, Jungkook definitely lived it that moment Taehyung said his name. Despite it being firm, he spoke in such a gentle manner that even made Jungkook feel submissive to him for a second.

What just happened?

"I want you to not seek any form of vengeance towards Jimin because of how he acted."

And there goes Jungkook's plans for payback.

Jungkook shoot up from his chair, causing Taehung to slightly jump in his seat in fright and Jimin to sit up straight and eyeing the raven haired carefully, in case he dares throw a hand against Taehyung. 

"What the fuck I don't even know you! Both of you! Look at what he did to my face and you expect me to just let it go and be okay with it-"

Taehyung suddenly slams his hands against the table and shoots up from his chair, glaring into Jungkook's eyes with only inches away from his face, "If you want to feed your revenge go fucking ahead but I won't save your ass from suspension and you can kiss your scholarship goodbye!"

The darkness laced so thickly and dripped Taehyung's voice as he growls those words, nearly causing Jungkook to flinch from the intensity. He knows he won't get anywhere with this the longer he fights, especially since Taehyung seems completely serious to his words.

So with a glare still evident in Jungkook's eyes, he sits back down on the chair, arms cross, "If I were to agree with this, how would you know I will stick to my word?"

He could see the way Taehyung squints his eyes at him and leans to his face, "Trust me for sure that I will stick with mines and make sure your ass is out of this school if you try in any way to come after Jimin."

The way Taehyung is defending Jimin is aggravating Jungkook more than the conditions he's laying out. They must have something going on for this kid to go through this trouble, without knowing what Jungkook is capable of doing, to make sure Jimin's life is safe. Jungkook wasn't really going to go at extreme measures for his payback, probably make the guy do more laps around the track after practice or something.

Now he can't even do that because his scholarship is on the line.

This boy is good, too good.

Fuck him and his smartass brain too, dick.

So with a sigh of defeat, he slowly nods, "Fine."

Doesn't mean Jungkook will be nice.

Who said he'd be the one to act either way?

He could see a small smirk make it's way on Taehyung's lips and Jungkook wanted nothing more than slap that smirk off his face, but when he turns to Jimin, it was quickly wiped off, "Jimin."

Jungkook watches in curiosity how Jimin literally melts on the spot when Taehyung turns his attention to him, almost looking like a lost puppy. The duality he holds is crazy.

"You will leave Jungkook alone, as in officially alone. Nothing like today will happen again."

Jungkook's eyes widen to the words that escaped his lips and he perks his head to looks at Taehyung, seeing how completely serious he's staring at Jimin. His heart accelerated at a rapid speed, feeling as it could burst at any minute.

So he's protecting him too.

Hm..... Okay...?

The thought made Jungkook slightly fight a smile on his face, seeing as Jimin's face drops and reaches his hands to Taehyung's on the table, "But Tae, what if he-"

"NO!" For the first time Taehyung yells, loudly. Both of Jungkook and Jimin jump in their seats at how deep his voice got, "Leave him alone or apart from the suspension, you will lose me, perminently."

Oh shit.

Well..... That was harsh, considering how weak Jimin is for Taehyung.

Doesn't take a genius to know that they're close.

With lips parted Jungkook watches how Jimin's face crumbles as if he was told the news his dog died. At that moment Jungkook wanted nothing more than to punch Taehyung across the face for making that pain flash Jimin's eyes for that split second.

The pain of losing someone dear.

It's clear that Taehyung means a lot to him, so to use that as a threat is low.

If Hoseok ever did that to him, he'd end the friendship on the spot.

Not worth having someone around who can discard your friendship so easily over some stupid shit like this.

"I'm being serious, you need to learn on how to control your damn anger and protective issues. I get you care about me but swinging at Jungkook just because I had a crush on him and he didn't even do anything to me is far from fucked up. This isn't the first time you do something stupid like this so it better be the last."

Well.... Never mind, that explained everything.

The room falls silent with Taehyung's body suddenly tensing up from Jungkook's intense eyes, replaying over his words in his head. Now it all makes perfect sense. Jimin and Taehyung are friends and Taehyung had a crush on Jungkook, causing the other to get jealous and start- Oh my fuck. Jungkook couldn't stop staring at Taehyung with his heart thumping hard against his chest.

Not like it's not common for people to not have confessed to him, but he'd never expect someone like Taehyung to like him.

Taehyung is too...... Threateningly pretty and slightly intimidating. He has an aura of such high standard, and Jungkook knows he's not even up that bar, not even close.

So why me? He doesn't even know me!

But then again, he doesn't know Jimin either.

And yet here they are.

He couldn't even speak when Jimin's eyes met his. There's something behind the longing look in his eyes that made Jungkook's body start to shake. He's pleading him, not to hurt Taehyung.

Practically begging to think of his next moves carefully.

Jungkook felt his heart rattle to this, seeing how deep their friendship is laced.

How deeply Jimin cares about Taehyung, to willingly out of instinct punch someone he doesn't know across the face to make a statement.

To not hurt his precious boy.

It hit Jungkook like a ton of bricks.

Taehyung sits back down on his back, his face flushed in what seems to be embarrassment and clears his throat, "We are going to be in the same class for dance, so I hope we can find some sort of peace after these events," He breathes and looks between the two, "So do we have a deal?"

Jungkook makes eye contact with Jimin again, knowing exactly what message he's saying to him through his eyes.

'Do I have to worry about you now?'

Jungkook only sends him a challenging gaze in return, moving his eyes to Taehyung in a soft smile on his lips, "We have a deal."
