In the following days, Taehyung executed series of playful pranks on Jungkook, much to Taehyung's amusement and Jungkook's annoyance. He started with harmless antics like hiding Jungkook's belongings, swapping his shampoo with honey, and setting up harmless traps in his room.

Despite Jungkook's stern warnings and disapproving glares, Taehyung found joy in his mischief, relishing in the challenge of outsmarting the seemingly unshakeable bodyguard.

However, as the pranks escalated, Jungkook's patience wore thin. He began to suspect Taehyung's involvement and vowed to catch him in the act.

Meanwhile, Taehyung reveled in the thrill of the chase, finding joy in the game of cat and mouse with his relentless bodyguard.

After completing his night routine, Jungkook ironed his uniform, ensuring it was crease-free and impeccable. Satisfied with his work, he neatly placed it on the table before heading into the bathroom for a refreshing shower.

Quietly sneaking into Jungkook's room, Taehyung turned the iron to its highest setting and pressed it firmly against Jungkook's uniform, causing a sizable hole to form. The distinct smell of burning fabric filled the air as Taehyung swiftly exited the room, ensuring to switch off the iron before leaving.

With the deed done, Taehyung couldn't suppress a smirk of satisfaction as he tiptoed away, leaving Jungkook none the wiser to his mischief.

By the time Jungkook emerged from the bathroom, the smell had subdued, and he didn't notice anything amiss as he quickly dried his hair and settled into bed. Little did he know, a prank had been been played.

The next morning, Jungkook woke up and prepared himself for the day, unaware of the sabotage that had occurred to his uniform overnight. As he reached for his uniform, his eyes widened in shock and disbelief as he noticed the conspicuous hole burned into it. Anger flared within him as he realized what had happened.

He went straight towards Taehyung's room. The loud banging echoed through the quiet hallway as Jungkook impatiently called out Taehyung's name. He was clearly agitated, his voice laced with frustration as he awaited a response.

Taehyung, who was startled awake from his sleep. Confused and groggy, he stumbled out of bed and opened the door to find an enraged Jungkook on the other side

Jungkook's eyes blazed with fury as he confronted Taehyung about the damaged uniform. "What did you do to my uniform?" he demanded, his voice sharp with anger. Taehyung feigned innocence, trying to suppress a smirk as he pretended to be clueless about the situation.

Taehyung shrugged nonchalantly, pretending to be innocent. "What are you talking about? I didn't touch your uniform," he replied, feigning ignorance. But Jungkook wasn't buying it. His eyes narrowed as he took a step closer to Taehyung, his frustration evident in every word. "Don't play dumb with me, Taehyung. I know you did this," Jungkook accused, his voice low and dangerous. Taehyung's smirk faltered, as he locked eyes with Jungkook, the intensity between them palpable.

"Hey, I didn't do it, okay? You're blaming me for no reason! What kind of proof do you have to say something like this?" Taehyung asserted, his voice laced with confidence as he confronted Jungkook.

Jungkook's expression remained stern, his eyes fixed on Taehyung's. "I don't need proof to know when someone's been messing with my belongings," he retorted sharply, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why are you guys arguing this early in the morning. What happened?"Jimin's voice broke the tension as he stepped into the hallway, rubbing his eyes sleepily. Taehyung and Jungkook turned to face him, their expressions still tense. "Taehyung messed with my uniform," Jungkook explained, his voice laced with frustration.

"It's already burned, what's the point of arguing now? Just wear something else today," Jimin reasoned, his voice tinged with the remnants of sleep as he continued to rub his eyes."

Taehyung shot Jungkook a smug look, clearly satisfied with his handiwork. Jungkook sighed in resignation, realizing that arguing further would only escalate the situation.

Fine," he muttered, turning to leave. Taehyung smirked triumphantly as Jungkook exited the room, feeling a sense of victory in their ongoing power struggle. As jungkook went downstairs in his room Taehyung winked at jimin for helping him and went back to his room to freshen up.

Few moments later both jimin and Taehyung entered the gym but there were no sign of jungkook there. Both looked at each other in confusion they both continued their session without jungkook and went back to their room after an hour.

As they returned to their room, Taehyung couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. "Where do you think he went?" he asked Jimin, his brows furrowed in concern.

Jimin shrugged, pulling off his sweat-drenched shirt. "Who knows? Maybe he had some other duty to attend to."

Taehyung nodded, though the uncertainty gnawed at him. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.

As they stood at the porch, Taehyung impatiently checked the time, frustration evident on his face. "Lecture is about to start, where is he?" he grumbled, his annoyance growing by the minute.

Just as they were about to leave in search of a taxi, a familiar car appeared in the distance. "He's here," Jimin remarked, relief evident in his voice as they spotted Jungkook's car approaching.

Jungkook beeped to signal Taehyung and Jimin to get inside, and they quickly slid into their seats,Taehyung's mouth fell open in disbelief as he saw Jungkook dressed in a brand new black suit. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Jungkook smirked in response to Taehyung's expression, enjoying the moment of surprise he had caused.

.................

"I really hate his uniform!" Taehyung exclaimed with a pout, reaching over to pick a fry from Jimin's plate. Jimin shot him a glare, but Taehyung simply stuck out his tongue in response.

"Man, our entire plan is ruined! We have to do something about him," Baekhyun said while eyeing Jungkook through the cafeteria mirror. Taehyung sat across from him, wearing a sad pout. "He'll drive me crazy like this, and the worst thing is, I can't even tell Dad about it. Otherwise, he'll call me back, and I don't want to go back. This is my last semester, and I have to get good grades," Taehyung sighed, laying his head on Jimin's shoulder for comfort. Jimin patted his back reassuringly.

"Please, do something," Taehyung mumbled, casting pleading eyes at Baekhyun. Baekhyun started tapping his forehead animatedly, deep in thought. Suddenly, his face lit up with excitement. "Ah! I have an idea. Why don't we get him a girlfriend or something? What do you think?" Baekhyun whisper-shouted, already enthusiastic about his plan.

"A girlfriend? Why do you think he doesn't have a girlfriend? Just look at him, he's so hot, totally my type," the girl continued, her eyes lingering on Jungkook's figure with evident interest.

Taehyung and Baekhyun exchanged disgusted glances and shook their heads in unison, clearly not impressed by the girl's comment.

Taehyung pondered on the idea for a moment, then quickly asked, "But who will become his girlfriend?"

"I will. Please let me do this." Their friend chaeun exclaimed trying to shoot her shot with jungjook. Chaeun's offer caught Taehyung off guard, but he wasn't about to let his friend pursue Jungkook. "No, go find someone else," he insisted firmly, shaking his head. Chaeun pouted in response, calling him a meanie before returning to her lunch.

Taehyung furrowed his brows and look at Jimin who only shrug his shoulders while taking a sip from his coffee. "Wait!, let me call my friend. I think she can help us with this." Baekhyung called his friend and explained her everything, they bickered for a while and when Baekhyun shook his head with a pout. Taehyung understood that the girl denied it.

"Tae, why don't you try it. Just text him repeatedly and convince him that you are madly in love with him. Huh?" Baekhyun suggested with a smirk,

Taehyung's eyes widened in surprise at Baekhyun's suggestion, and he shook his head vigorously. "No way! That's just... too much," he protested, feeling a bit flustered at the thought.

Baekhyun chuckled at Taehyung's reaction, nudging him playfully. "Come on, Tae. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?" he teased, winking mischievously. Taehyung hesitated for a moment, considering the idea before finally relenting with a reluctant sigh. "Fine, I'll give it a try," he agreed.

"No! Tae you can't play with someone's feelings. What's gotten into you?" Jimin scolded Taehyung, who rolled his eyes. "I'm not gonna play with his feelings, Hyung. I'm just going to prank him for a while. Don't worry."

"You will regret this."

"Yeah, sure," Taehyung mumbled as he looked at Jungkook with a smirk.

............

The next day, Baekhyun gave Taehyung a new sim card ready for the plan. Returning back home, Taehyung immediately went towards his room, which confused Jungkook as usually Taehyung stays in the living room. However, today he went straight towards his room, but Jungkook didn't pay any attention and retreated to his own room as well.

Feeling giddy for his prank, Taehyung fixed the new SIM card into his spare Samsung and plugged it in to charge, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to set his plan in motion.

The evening passed calmly as the trio watched a movie together. Before heading to their rooms, they had a short workout session. Taehyung planned to execute his prank the following morning.

Closing the door, he pulled the charging cord out of his phone and sat on his bed, opening his old phone. As he scrolled through his gallery, he came across pictures of his teenage self and a whole folder dedicated to his crush.

Smiling ear to ear he slides through the pictures of his crush. He sighed at the memory of the last party about how he couldn't confess to her about his feelings.

Closing the phone he set it aside went to change his clothes into his night pajama not before showering.

The next morning

Taehyung was awakened by persistent knocking on the door. With a weary sigh, he glanced at the clock on his side table-it was 6:00 am. He stood up with a groan, his eyes still shut with sleep, and opened the door.

"Good morning," Jungkook greeted with a smile. Taehyung scowled at his bodyguard for disturbing his beauty sleep and went inside the bathroom.

As Taehyung arrived at the gym, he found Jimin halfway through his session, with Jungkook assisting him with crunches. Taehyung began with a light warm-up, but as the session progressed, he noticed Jungkook doing his own workout. Seeing the perfect opportunity, he pulled out his phone and went to his call log, where he had already saved Jungkook's number. Without hesitation, he dialed it.

Few seconds later as Jungkook continued with his push-ups, his phone began to ring with an unfamiliar melody. Grunting, he reached for it, intending to answer, but the call disconnected before he could.

Seeing the call coming from an unknown number, he decided to ignore it and focus on his workout. However, as he transitioned to crunches, his phone rang again with the same unknown number. Frustrated, he attempted to answer, but once more, the call disconnected. This repeated a few more times, irritating Jungkook further.

As Taehyung observed Jungkook's reactions, he struggled to stifle his laughter, finding amusement in the situation he had orchestrated.

"You're dismissed for the day. You can head back to your rooms," he declared with evident irritation in his tone.

As both left the gym jungkook took a seat on a chair his frustration simmered as he stared at his phone, unwilling to break eye contact with it even for a second. "Well, what happened, huh? Not going to call again? Coward!" he muttered under his breath, directing his frustration towards the device.

Meanwhile Taehyung burst into his room, excitement bubbling over, he couldn't contain his triumph. "It worked! My plan totally worked!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with exhilaration. Jimin followed him in, shaking his head in amusement at his friend's antics.
