The Ashole
Weekends were a favorite for Taehyung. While he did dislike the idea of not getting to see Mr.Kim, but no school was a bonus for him. In addition, he would get to meet his dear old friends at the community service organization. As a young kid, Taehyung's mother wanted him to be respectful and empathetic which is why she made him join the place as a volunteer. But over time, he had developed fondness towards them and Saturdays had been reserved for his old friends ever since.
"Hi Hoseok" he greeted the coordinator of the organization, who had always welcomed the boy with open arms. Seeing the consistent efforts of Taehyung, the coordinator had developed a brother like bond with the boy.
"Hey Taehyung, thank god you are here. The folks have been asking about you for the last one hour. They are dying to play board games with you."
"On my way to the rescue sir" he said, putting on the volunteer card.
"Hi there Bernard" he greeted his old pal. "I heard you are eager to play chess with me today."
"Oh boy, yes I am. These idiots think I don't have it in me anymore to ace the game like I used to. I am gonna prove them so wrong." The man spoke, his voice barely audible.
"Well, I don't have any doubts on that." Taehyung grinned, taking a seat opposite to him.
The day went on smoothly and it was lunch time. All the people were moving to the cafeteria.
"Hey Tae, today we promised the folks we will serve them ice-cream. But since the fridge wasn't working, I didn't preorder it. There's a ice-cream parlor opposite the building, could you go get some?" He spoke handing him the list.
"No problem" he happily obliged and took the paper.
On his way back, he was trying to make sure the ice-cream didn't spill off but in his clumsiness, he forgot to check the green signal was on already. Right when he was about to cross the road, eyes still focused on the bag, a bike rushed right in front of him in speed. Taken aback by the action, Taehyung landed on the footpath on his butt, all the ice cream spilled on the floor.
"Oh shit" Taehyung shouted, creating a small commodity around the place. Taehyung was about to curse out loud to the culprit right when he saw the rider had parked his bike on the side and rushed to him with his helmet on.
Right when the rider was about to offer him his hand to stand up, he was met with the loudest scolding of his life by the man who got up on his own.
"You ashole, who the hell do you think you are? Just because you ride a bike doesn't mean you ride it like you own the road. Are you aware of the concept of zebra crossing? It's made for us pedestrians to cross the road. Or does your thick brain thinks it is literally for zebras to cross? And look at my ice cream. You made it SPILL all of it. You stupid arrogant ashole." Taehyung literally bursted out his lungs and spoke this in one go.
The biker was completely taken aback with the action, especially knowing it wasn't his fault at all. But shouting back would only create a mess and he was in no mood to do so. He slowly took off his helmet and was met a with loud gasp.
"Jeon Jungkook?" Taehyung shouted at the top of the lungs. The school president dressed in a complete black attire with leather jacket and skinny black jeans and the ear accessories made him look like a different person, a hot person. And got those tatooos around his neck, how did he hide them so well? How the hell was his school president so hot and he never noticed?
"Hello" Jungkook snapped his fingers in front of the male and brought him back to reality.
"So it was you, ashole Jeon Jungkook. First you break my nose in school and then almost run me with your bike. Are you trying to kill me or something?" He shouted again.
"I know you?" Jungkook asked, completely confused.
The audacity Taehyung thought.
"Do I know you? You ashole, we go to the same school, heck even same class and last week you broke my nose with your ball." By this time, Taehyung was flaring his nostrils.
"By my ball?" Jungkook chuckled, the double meaning completely intended.
Taehyung couldn't believe the nerve of this guy. He couldn't believe that in such a situation he was making a perverted joke.
He rubbed his temple and spoke, "Listen I know you are a cold hearted ashole in school but this is outside school premise and I am in no way going to take your shit. Now you will have to get me ice cream for all that damage and carry them to the center?" He pointed at the ice cream spilled around.
Jungkook wanted to retaliate knowing it wasn't his fault but seeing how the shorter male was fuming, he was simply being entertained. Without objecting, he allowed the male to drag him and buy him all the ice cream that was ruined, all while Taehyung kept cursing at him.
The male dragged him across the road to the center and into the cafeteria. As soon as the two entered the hall, hands entwined with one another, everyone halted and looked at the two.
When Taehyung realized everyone's eyes were fixated on one thing, he turned side to see their hands intertwined, with an awfully cocky smirk plastered on Jungkook's face. He immediately let go of his hand and took the ice-cream.
While Taehyung rushed to serve the ice cream to the people, Jungkook stood in the doorway, awkwardly not knowing what to do. Out of the blue, an old lady seated in a wheelchair came towards Jungkook and pointed him to kneel down, so she could talk to him eye-eye to level.
"Are you our Taehyungie's boyfriend?" She asked, full of excitement.
"In his dreams" Taehyung replied as he stood behind the lady, hands clutched in the metal of the wheelchair.
The lady cupped Jungkook's face and looked at him fondly, "Aren't you a pretty one? It's a shame you and Taehyungie aren't boyfriends. Our tae needs a boyfriend you know" she spoke to which Jungkook chuckled again.
"Nancy!!" Taehyung shouted, " I don't need a boyfriend. And I would rather die single than have this ashole be my boyfriend.
Jungkook had lost count of how many times he had been called an ashole today.
Taehyung asked Nancy to head to her room and turned to Jungkook, "Why are you still here?"
Jungkook was confused himself as to why he was still there.
"Uhhh I wanted to apologize I guess?" He said, even though it was not his mistake at all.
"Well you better" Taehyung spoke, crossing his arms.
"I was hoping I could buy an ice-cream as an apology?" Jungkook asked expectantly.
The mention of ice cream was indeed a luring offer for Taehyung. In addition, all the ones he bought were finished for the folks and he couldn't even take a bite. But he couldn't be tempted by Jungkook's offer.
"My shift is not over." He lied.
Just then, Hosoek arrived and spoke, "Taehyung, your shift is over. You can leave now."
Taehyung looked at Hosoek eyes wide and at Jungkook who gave him a look catching his lies.
"Oh hello, are Taehyung's boyfriend?" Hosoek asked, offering a hand to Jungkook.
Right when Jungkook was about to shake his hand, Taehyung grabbed his wrist and shouted, "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND."
And in the same fuming, he dragged the male out of the center. While Jungkook waved a goodbye to Hosoek, "Good day Sir" and Hosoek chuckled at the two.
The two crossed the road and sat at the ice-cream parlor. Taehyung was glaring at Jungkook and if eyes could kill, his would kill Jungkook on the spot.
The waitress came and asked for their order, "What would you like to have Sir"?
"What is the special here?" Jungkook asked, scanning the menu.
"Well, mint chocolate is the flavor of the day Sir. Would you like that?" She replied politely.
"Lord, who even likes that flavor." Taehyung murmured and rolled his eyes.
"If you don't mind Sir, we have a couple's package today since Valentine's Day is coming. Would you like that?"
Jungkook could see the fuming rage in Taehyung's face but Taehyung wasn't the one to get mad at waiters.
"We aren't a couple Ma'am. I will have strawberry flavor while this ashole will have the yucky mint chocolate flavor please." The gritting of teeth made the waitress realize the ongoing tension and she dashed out.
As the ice-cream arrived and Taehyung took his bite, with every bite, he looked as Jungkook as if he was showing he could finish him like that.
Jungkook sensed the behavior and asked, "Do you have a problem with me shorty?"
Shorty.
"I am literally almost your height and you have the nerves to call me that?"
"Well then what's your name, I will call you that ashole."
"You really have the nerves to ask me my name. Aren't you the school president? Aren't you suppose to know students?"
Jungkook realized what was happening and tried hard to think what Hosoek called him.
"Taeyang?" he shooted his arrow.
"It's Taehyung you ashole." He said again.
"It's Jungkook btw. My name is not an ashole."
"I know ashole. You are our picture perfect school president. Everyone knows you or at lest they think they do. How the hell do you even hide those tattoos so well in school?" He asked, eyeing the tattoo in his neck. He didn't realize he was checking out the male longer than intended, which obviously brought a smirk to the latter's face.
"I think my hotness is melting your ice cream Taehyung" he teased, seeing the ice cream melt in his hands.
Taehyung eyed the ice cream and licked it off quickly with his tongue, which did a thing or two to Jungkook's mind.
"I use foundation in school." Jungkook replied.
"And what about the hair? How do you manage it?" He asked, eyeing the hairstyle which seemed longer than his coconut hairstyle.
"I use a wig." He replied to which Taehyung almost choked on his ice cream.
"Man, our school president is full of secrets" Taehyung answered, focusing on his ice cream. Jungkook keep looking at the male with a fond look in his eyes.
Once they were done with ice creams, they got up and headed towards Jungkook's bike. Just when Taehyung was about to leave, Jungkook spoke, "I can give you a ride if you want."
Taehyung looked at Jungkook and then the bike and replied, "No thank you. This bike is clearly meant for a girl to ride, who can stick up her chest to your muscly back. I will pass that, thank you."
"Please, I insist. It's my final apology. Besides, I have a second helmet too" Jungkook spoke taking out the second white helmet.
Taehyung contemplated for a while but he knew a 20-min walk home after such a long day would be tiring so he gave in eventually. He took the helmet and got on the seat.
His first instinct was to try to hold on to the side handle of the bike. "Put your arms around me or you will fall off" Jungkook suggested.
"No, thank you. I can manage it on my own" he answered arrogantly.
But the arrogance melted away in two seconds when the bike rushed and he automatically held his arms around Jungkook's body.
The whole ride back, Taehyung was amused to feel the boy's abs, hard like rocks and for the fist time he felt, his school president was actually really hot.
They soon arrived at a stop Taehyung had suggested and stopped. He got off the bike and gave the helmet back.
"But there are no houses at the stop." Jungkook asked looking around.
"It's a 2-min walk from here. I can't have Jimin see you with me or else he will think I am friends with you which is never going to happen." He huffed.
"Oh come on, I think we got along just fine." Jungkook replied, holding on to the helmet.
"It was your apology and I accepted. End of story" he was about to turn around and run when Jungkook called him again.
"Hey Taehyung, could you pretend at school that this never happened." He asked hesitantly.
"What do you mean?" Taehyung questioned curiously.
Jungkook thought for a while and spoke, "well you know, no one has seen me like this and I don't want my president image to be questioned so. So, can we like not talk in the school?"
Taehyung was annoyed but he also understood the gravity of the issue and decided not to a mention a thing in school or talk to the boy.
"Alright ashole. I will get going." Taehyung huffed and was about run off when he got called again.
"Can you give me your number?"
Taehyung eyes the boy suspiciously and asked, "Why?"
"Well since I am the president, I can help you with school work no? Come to think of it I can help you avoid boring seminars and lectures." He suggested.
The offer was too good to decline and he gave in easily. "Good bye for real now asholes" he poked his tongue out and ran.
Jungkook looked at the male fondly and spoke, "I hope we bump into each other again Taehyung" and rode off.
Later than night, Taehyung received a text in his phone.
Hey shorty. Thank you for today.
He rolled his eye at the pet name and without even bothering to reply, he saved the contact as
Ashole
