Jungkook was sitting next to Taehyung along with the intense stares from other three guys sitting across the table with crossed arms.

"So... You mean... it's already been 4 months since you two met? And you even stayed in his house for one night?That too without even knowing his name till now?"
The short pink haired guy asked with his eyes piercing on Jungkook, still wearing the intense stare. No one would believe he's the same person who looked like a cinnamon ball and absolute harmless just a few minutes ago would actually turn into a wolf who is ready to scrape the skin out of your body.

"Y-yeah..."
Jungkook answered with the lowest tone he could ever make with his head hanging down, not able to meet the eyes from the three in front of him.

"WHY ARE YOU BOTH SO DUMP..??"
The short guy suddenly stood up banging the table making everyone startled and jumped.
"I mean... How can you not know his name? Don't you even bother to ask him? And You..!!"
He pointed his finger towards Taehyung making him flinch.
"You've known the great great Jeon Jungkook for this long and not bother to even tell us. I mean--"

The mint haired guy who have been sitting quietly pulled down the pink haired making him sit on the chair again.
"Why are you acting so aggressive today? Just sit properly. You're scaring them."
He held the other's hand tightly and sure it let him calm down and already back to his puppy mode.

"Ok ok... Let's stop all this."
The red haired guy clapped his hands.
"Jungkook... We all know you from before but you might not know us. I'm Jung Hoseok. I'm everyone's hope. J-hope."
He formed a heart with both his hand with a wide smile brighter than the sunlight that peeped through the window by the side of their table.
"I'm in my senior year. So you can call me Hoseok hyung."
He put his both thumbs up.

"Ahemm..."
The mint haired guy cleared his throat before speaking with his deep voice.
"Min Yoongi. It's fine with Yoongi hyung."

Jungkook just bowed at them politely. He's really not used to people talking to him but he would admit that he like their company.

"Hello Jungkook. I'm Park Jimin. Sorry if I was a bit rude... Haha..!"
The pink haired finally let out an awkward laugh.
"You know... even though I was like that I'm just like an angel."
He brought his hands up doing a flower cup pose.
"Right Taehyungie??"
He turned towards Taehyung and blinked his eyes cutely.

Taehyung and Hoseok just laughed out loud looking at their best friend while Yoongi just shook his head, face palming himself.

Jungkook was looking at them but still wearing his straight face. It's not like he felt irritated or anything, but he was wondering himself what good deeds he did to get to know such nice people. He turned towards Taehyung who was smiling widely. Maybe it's all thanks to this beautiful soul that brought him to this new world.

‐‐‐

"Taehyungie... when were you planning to tell me about Jungkook? I wouldn't have known about this if he didn't show up here."
Jimin said as he dragged his chair beside Taehyung who was busy packing his bag to go back since their classes was over.

"I thought he might have already forgotten about me?"

"But at least you could've tell me when you meet him yesterday. I mean you already knew that he remembers you when you met him and---"

"Jiminie... Why are you so interested in this by the way? Do you like him? Are you planning to cheat on your boyfriend?"
Taehyung cut off his friend who just dropped his jaw in disbelief from his words.

"What? Whose boyfriend? I'm not dating with him..!!"

"Not yet right?"
Taehyung snapped.

"No..!! Wait... Yah..!! How did this turned out this way?"
Jimin finally realized that was not what they were supposed to talk.

"I didn't say anything tho..."
Taehyung shrugged his shoulders making his best friend blushed into red cheeks.

"Ok... Leave it. I'm not saying it for me. I'm saying it for you."

"But why me?"

"Aigoo... See... Listen... You know... He's the great Jungkook, the most handsome, the son of a rich family, the best even in studies, that Jeon Jungkook who never laid his eyes even on a fly in this campus literally came to search for you. I mean... he--"

"But he came to search for the owner of the notebook, not to search for me."
Taehyung cut Jimin off again and picked up the last notebook to put it in his bag but stopped when the book in his hand was the same book Jungkook returned to him.
He slowly traced his fingers over the cover of the book and smiled recalling the way they always meet unexpectedly.
Jimin was blabbering something behind his ears but Taehyung couldn't hear anything just the moment he saw the last page of his lyrics book where he wrote his unfinished song. He was sure he never wrote the remaining lyrics, plus... it wasn't his handwriting either. But it did made the song complete.
If it's not him then who wrote it? Was it Jungkook?

He suddenly got up from his seat and ran out of the classroom with only the lyrics book in his hand.

"Yah..!! Why aren't you waiting for me? You left your bag..!! Yah...! Who do you think will bring your bag? I'm not going to bring it with me if you don't wait for me...!!"
Jimin was shouting as he tried to catch up with Taehyung who already ran down the stairs, but of course Jimin was struggling to run with two bags in his shoulder.

Taehyung tried to catch his breath as his legs stopped in front of the main gate. His eyes on the black car that already passed him before he could reach the gate.

‐‐‐

The sky was clear with the sun still shining brightly eventhough it was already its time to hide under the dark sky.
Taehyung was walking alone through the hallways as he let Jimin and others to go early eventhough they insisted to wait for him since he wanted to finish composing a song that he had been working on for the whole day for the upcoming college music show. He didn't even realize he was that tired until he finish his work.
He just wanted to go back home and take a good rest but he never expected to see a particular person standing by the stairs, resting his back on the wall with hands inside the pocket of his ripped black jeans.

"J-Jungkook?"
He tilted his head when he saw the other.

Jungkook didn't say anything, but just kept staring at him with his usual straight face.

Well... It's been almost a week since they last met when he came to return the notebook. Both of them were busy in their own works. Jungkook was living his usual life, coming to college and going back to his house, nothing much. Taehyung had been busy composing a song that their teachers asked him to do for the show. But he do always checked on Jungkook from afar but didn't had the guts to approach him since it would become a huge topic for the whole college.

"What are you doing here?"
Taehyung asked, not expecting the other would be standing there out of nowhere.

"Waiting for you."
Jungkook replied, his face still expressionless but it did made a flip inside Taehyung.

"W-why?"
Taehyung mentally slapped himself for even stuttering.

"Just..."
Jungkook shrugged his shoulders and started walking with Taehyung running behind him.

Well... he did noticed the beautiful bright smile on Taehyung's face while following him from behind, he could clearly see how happy the other looked at the moment.
But he never wanted to admit himself that he was actually worried when he saw Jimin and the others going without Taehyung before and would never tell anybody that he actually waited for him to come out for like 2 hours standing outside and never in his life would ever admit that he missed him.

Taehyung was smiling alone as he tried to catch up with Jungkook who was walking way too faster in front of him.
He looked at the brunette haired walking ahead of him from the back who never even turned his head to the back. Jungkook was wearing a black denim jacket with the ripped black jeans along with his black cap, his long legs making wide and fast steps holding his bag by his right shoulder, the left sleeve of his jacket folding up till his elbow showing his strong forearm where a black watch wrapped perfectly around his wrist making him look even more attractive, cool and manly.
A red tint blushed over Taehyung's cheeks as he looked at the person walking in front of him. He suddenly felt embarrassed about his own thoughts that he actually was checking out the other from head to toe, so he hung his head down as he walked as fast as he could until his head bumped into the same back.

"Sorry. I was---"
Taehyung cut himself off and looked at Jungkook who froze at the spot suddenly.
He could sense the tension on Jungkook's face so he just trailed his eyes to where he was looking at just to find a person wearing white coat standing in front of the main gate back facing them with a huge familiar black car parking near him.
"Is that... your driver?"
Taehyung asked slowly and all he got was a nod from the other.
"Ok then... You can go. I'll just---"

"NO..!!"

Taehyung flinched when Jungkook suddenly cut him off by grabbing his wrist before he could turn away.

They could feel an unfamiliar feeling churning up inside their chest as their eyes met with silence occupying the whole place.

"Jungkook... Do you... want to escape?"
Taehyung didn't even know from where did he get that idea but he felt like Jungkook need it, he always noticed Jungkook going back straight with the driver just after the classes are over and never hang out with anyone, he could somehow sense that the other doesn't want to go yet.

Jungkook didn't say anything but just stare at Taehyung who smiled at him.

"Then come with me."
Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's hand and dragged him towards the fencing wall after making sure the driver couldn't notice them coming from afar.

"Where are we going?"
Jungkook finally said when they stood by the wall.

"Just trust me ok. Now help me crossing this wall first."

Jungkook just stared at Taehyung in disbelief at how will they cross that much high wall.

"Oh come on. Help me. Quick."

Jungkook just shook his head and helped the other by pushing him up.

"Now let me help y---"
Before Taehyung could finish his word, Jungkook skillfully crossed the wall all by himself easily making the blonde drop his jaw.

"Now what?"
Jungkook said as he slapped off the dust from his palm.

Taehyung blinked his eyes when he finally regained his sense.
"Uh? Ah... Yeah... ok... now follow me."

Jungkook just let the other drag him wherever he wants. All he could do was just staring at the male smiling happily while leading him towards no one knows where.

"There..!! Come this way."
Taehyung excitedly clapped his hands and ran towards a claw machine with cute bounch.

"What is this?"

Taehyung gave Jungkook a weird look at his question.
"Are you serious? You don't know what is this?"
Taehyung face palmed himself at Jungkook's clueless expression which was too obvious that he really don't know what is that thing.
"Ok... No problem. It's called a claw machine. I'll teach you how to play it. I'm an expert in this. Just watch me. Ok?"

Jungkook just nodded obediently like a puppy who just got an order from its owner as he observed Taehyung putting a coin and start controlling the claw. Jungkook could just watch it with his eyes wide open in amazement as the claw grabbed a cute bear and brought it near the opening.

"Nooooo...!! Aishh....!!"
Taehyung pouted as the claw dropped the bear just when it was about to put in the opening.
"You can't win against me this time."
Taehyung folded his sleeves up as he put another coin and started doing the same again... then again... then again...
He just dropped his shoulders with a pout after trying for like 10 times but still couldn't win any and looked at Jungkook who was standing there and watching him quietly.
"You want to try?"

Before Jungkook could answer, Taehyung grabbed his hand and made him stand in front of the claw machine and put a coin for him.
Jungkook just stared at the machine and back to Taehyung who was standing there with arms crossed, eyes signing him to do it.
Jungkook just took a deep breath and started controlling the claw... but...

"Which one I should choose?"

Taehyung just bursted out into a loud laugh while holding his stomach at Jungkook's clueless expression. He then bent down to look at the plushies inside and kept his finger on his chin thinking which one to choose.

"Aha..! That one..!"
He pointed to a bunny plushie by the corner and looked at Jungkook who already start aiming for it with full concentration. Taehyung just tried to hold his laugh looking at Jungkook's serious face knowing that he won't succeed at all. But... he just stood there with his jaw almost on the ground as Jungkook successfully won the plushie in just one try.

"Are you kidding me? Are you sure that was your first time playing this?"
Taehyung blinked his eyes as Jungkook handed him the bunny plushie with a nod.
"I can't believe this... like... seriously..? I mean... ok... that's because of your luck that you got it."
Taehyung kept blabbering, trying to hide his embarrassment that he couldn't win even a single plushie with over ten times after bragging himself about playing it.

Jungkook just stared at Taehyung while the corner of his lips curled up a little.

"Wait... Did you... Did you just smile?"
Taehyung widen his eyes just he he noticed Jungkook when he turned towards him.

"No."
Jungkook said, already back to his expressionless face.

"No... I just saw it... I clearly saw it."

"You need spects."
Jungkook said as he already started walking away.

"I already have."
Taehyung shouted as he followed him.

"Wear it so you can see properly."

"I'm wearing lens now."

"Then go for check up."

"I don't need to."

The sky was already dark as the two just babbled around each other while walking through the foothpath by the side of the road.... until they saw the driver standing in front of them. He seemed to found them at last. Jungkook's face turned pale just when he saw his driver bowed at him.

"It's getting late sir. We need to head back."

Jungkook just kept silent as the driver already opened the door for him. But he just stood there, he didn't even move.

"Ah... Yeah... It's late. You need to go back Jungkook. I'm sorry if I bothered you."
Taehyung said, regretting for taking Jungkook with him when the other need to go back early and for troubling the driver to find them.

"Why are you saying sorry?"
Jungkook snapped his head towards Taehyung making him flinched.

"Sir. Should we drop him?"
The driver asked with a knowing smile at Jungkook who was giving him a disbelief look at his suggestion.

"Uh..?? No... no... It's fine. I can go by mysel---"

"Get in."
Jungkook cut him off.

"What?"

"I said get in. I'll drop you."
Jungkook said as he already sat on his usual backseat while Taehyung just stood there, not knowing what to say.

"Please sir."
The driver smiled at Taehyung signing him to enter leaving him no choice but to get into the car with the driver closed the door for them and started driving.

"Where is your house Sir?"

Jungkook fidgeted his finger waiting for Taehyung to tell his address since that's what he wanted to know anyway. Ever since he came to know Taehyung already moved out, he wanted to know where the other lives.

After Taehyung had told the driver his address, the driver and Taehyung started talking and laughing about no one knows what stories they were telling each other totally ignoring Jungkook's presence as if Jungkook wasn't inside the car at all. Taehyung surely know how to talk and attract people, no one could resist his personality with his wide boxy smile.

Taehyung got down from the car after it parked in front of a small house as he waved his hands to the driver with a smile.
"Thank you Dongsuk-ssi... It was really nice talking with you."

"Yeah same to you Taehyung-ssi."

Jungkook widen his eyes when Taehyung and his driver calling each other with their names. When and how did they become that closed that they even start addressing each other that way?
He finally came back to his sense when he heard a knock by his glass window and just when he slid it down, Taehyung smooched the bunny plushie that he won from the claw machine on his face with a wide smile waiting for him to take it from his hand.

"It looks just like you. So take it with you. Bunny."
Taehyung gave Jungkook another smile when he took the plushie from his hand.

Jungkook was still looking at Taehyung who already went towards the gate.
Just when Taehyung was about to open the gate, he turned his head back again and flashed his bright smile that could brighten up the dark night sky.

"Good night bunny. Thank you for today."

Jungkook couldn't even take his eyes off from Taehyung's smile making him look even more beautiful under the dim street light. He just staring at Taehyung who already entered inside after waving his both hands at him happily still wearing the bright smile.

"Shall... we... go... Sir?"

"Huh?"
Jungkook finally realized he has been staring at the empty closed gate for too long only after the driver asked him.
"Yeah... Let's go."

The car was moving steadily while Jungkook was busy staring at the plushie in his hand.

"I won't tell anyone about him Sir."

Jungkook snapped his head when he heard the driver's words.
"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry. I'll find an excuse if your parents ask the reason why you're late today... By the way, he's really nice."
The driver smiled at Jungkook who was just giving him another disbelief look.

Jungkook stared back to the plushie as he recalled his day with Taehyung. Even if it was just for a short time, he enjoyed a short freedom of his life, he enjoyed himself, he enjoyed the other's company. An uncontrollable smile curled up in his lips when a particular smiling face flashed in the back of his mind.

The driver had been watching Jungkook smiling while looking at the plushie from the rearview mirror. He had been driving for Jungkook since he was a little kid and he had been watching him growing up. He was actually appointed by Jungkook's mother for her son. But it was his first time to see Jungkook's smile after his mother's death, it was his first time to see Jungkook enjoying himself. He did saw him running away with Taehyung but he chose to follow him quietly instead. He knew the young boy needs his freedom at least once. He knows how his family treat him but what he will say? He was just a mere driver. He could've speak up for Jungkook but that would just make him farther from the younger so he chose to keep quiet and look after him instead. He actually was quietly looking at him playing with the blonde earlier and he could clearly see him enjoying eventhough he knew the younger will never express it.
A drop of tear escaped from his eyes while seeing the smile on Jungkook's face after a long time. He knew that Jungkook already found the new source of his happiness, so he made up his mind that he would risk everything just to protect it for him.
