after the wounded were attended to by the nurse we where all sent to the principals office to be reprimanded. we had each given our side of the story and after no deliberation at all the principals final verdict was to force the six of us to clean up the caféteria instead of detention.

just to make sure that we are actually doing time he asked the janitor and kitchen lady to watch over us. luckily though, the principal is somewhat sensible so he tasked each of us with a specific job so one person doesn't end up doing everything.

jungkook and i were ordered to wash and set up the lunch trays while taehyung and jimin has to clear up the food trays- throwing away any uneaten food and as for dansae and ah ro they have to sweep the entire caféteria.

i sigh scrubbing at a tray, "i'm sorry kookie. i got you guy's in trouble."

jungkook wipes a tray and places it on a stack we've just done, "it's fine soo yeong ah~. i was going to hit him either way."

i look at him and sadly say, "but taehyung ah~ got hurt because of me."

jungkook holds my shoulder, "he'll be fine. i know he will be besides i landed a shot on that blockhead." he smiles gleefully. "didn't you say you wanted to hit him so hard?" i chuckle lightly at his words.

"neh, thanks for that but don't do it again." i warn and he looks at me with puffy cheeks.

"well... if he does anything to hurt you i'll definitely do it again. no hesitation." he laughs evilly and i smile at him. "besides if you're gonna get into trouble or hitting someone, you might as well hit them hard. tell me i'm right."

"you're such a pabo." i fight back a smile but fail.

he laughs, revealing that cute bunny features of his, "these muscles aren't for nothing soo yeong ah~."

i look at him with a smirk, "my knight and shining armour?" he pouts taking another tray from me.

"yah! no! your knight and shining armour is taehyung hyung... you like him don't you?" his voice is innocent yet sharp.

i frown at him with a slight blush, "it's a secret crush, don't tell him anything."

jungkook looks down with a smirk and mumbles, "things are going well." i look at him with a raised eyebrow, "did you say something?" he carries the stack of trays and puts them in it's designated spot, "no, nothing." he says.

jimin and taehyung had finished up with their task before us so they waited with us in the cafeteria's kitchen. jungkook and i quickly washed, dried and put away the last few trays and once the kitchen lady was satisfied with our hard labour she let us go.

as we exit the cafeteria dansae and ah ro stare at us with annoyed expressions.

"just ignore them." jimin says leading me out of the cafeteria and once we're out in the hallway i pull jimin and taehyung on either side of me.

"i'm sorry." i say hugging jimin then taehyung.

"soo yeong ah~ i already told you it's fine." jungkook says.

"neh, just stop worrying. what's done is done." jimin adds.

i pout and look at taehyung, who hasn't said anything.

he smiles down at me, "they're both right and dansae really deserved that punch." he pulls jungkook into a headlock, "that was an impressive hit maknae." instead of breaking the headlock jungkook simply hugs taehyung, "why did you have to take the hit instead hyung? i could've handled it."

taehyung let's go of jungkook and stops, "you don't have to get hurt because of m- yahh!"

i pull on taehyung's ear lightly, "don't say stupid things. remember what i told you that night. jungkook, jimin and i will always be here for you." i release my grip.

jimin pipes up, "just what exactly happened that night? bites, taehyung's kiss, blowing dandelions and now this?" taehyung and i exchange shy glances.

"nothing else." we say in unison.

"synchronization and all." jungkook laughs and i kick his butt.

"this is why you're otp." jimin adds.

"otp?" taehyung asks confused.

i send jimin daggers, "it's nothing don't worry about it." taehyung smiles, his lips forming a heart again, "oh! neh, i need to give you something." i say to taehyung and open up my bookbag.

"what are you giving hyung?" jungkook puts his head near mine looking into my bag. i pull out some bandaids and hold it in front of taehyung's face. "take these, you're going to need it since..." i look at the little square adhesive pad on his cheek.

"do you have like an infinite supply of these luhan bandaids or something?" jungkook grabs them from my hand and jimin chuckles, "i'd like to know the answer to that too."

i give the both of them a blank look, "you guys are so judgmental..." they stare at me stepping closer and closer iching for an answer. i step back and sigh, "... seokjin oppa bought a box of hundred and don't say anything more." i warn them as they chuckle.

"you lot are something else." taehyung laughs.

jimin just barely swings an arm around taehyung's shoulder, "you're apart of this lot now so get used to it." taehyung smiles down at jimin sincerely.

"are we going back to class or just going home all together?" jungkook skips happily. "because i'm tired."

"i'm with guk, i'm beat." jimin stretches, "let's just go home."

taehyung and i agree with jungkook and jimin and we all make our way to the hallway entrance. we only have one class before the day ends, and it's history. we exit the doors and i stop, watching the three boy's make their way down the steps.

"soo yeong ah~?" jimin turns around to look at me. "what's wrong?"

i shake my head, "you boy's go on. i want see lu." i look over at lu. nobody's contacted us as yet.

"alright just don't get caught." jungkook adds as i smile and wave at them.

i quicky turn around and crouch in front of lu's pen. i remove my bookbag from my shoulders and take out a milk box and scissor.

thanks to the little drama i caused during lunch i didn't get a chance to drink this but i'll share it with lu. i poke the straw through the foil covering and place the straw between my lips.

"you need help with that?" i turn, surprised to see taehyung standing beside me. i remove the straw from my lips and he crouches next to me. a smile then envelopes my lips and i push the milk box in front of him, "i was joking." he chuckles.

i frown at his words, "please." i say and he takes it sipping on it shortly after.

"does it hurt?" i suddenly ask and he looks at me with doe eyes.

"my cheek?" he asks and i raise an eyebrow.

"what else..." i mumble and he chuckles giving me back the milk box.

"no, it doesn't so stop worrying." he ensures.

i purse my lips looking down at lu, "thank you." i say softly.

"yah? what for?" i feel his gaze on me.

"i never did thank you for keeping my journal safe." i hand him the half empty milk box and scissor. he gets down to carefully cutting the box and i stare at him with a small smile. he doesn't spill any of the contents.

"it's fine," he says after placing the cut milk box in lu's pen.

he looks up at me with a boxy smile, "can i tell you something?"

i look at him intently and say, "please, taehyung ah~ if it's those jokes again. i swear i'll pull out the pepper spray."

he drops his head in laughter, "it's not it and please don't, you've been a badass more than enough for today."

"badass," i scoff, "please that's jungkook's job." we both chuckle.

jungkook may be the maknae but he's the strongest person i know.

"so what did you want to say?" i turn to pet lu.

he places his hands on my shoulders making me meet his gaze. i start to feel nervous and the heat raises to my cheeks. he stares at me for a while and i can't hold his gaze any longer so i divert it to his blazer.

"soo yeong ah~." he says and i bite my lip, slowly looking back at him. "tomorrow, you'll have to wait a little longer for it." he simply states and gets up.

i stare at him dumbfounded and he moves toward the stairs, "wait for what?"

he skips down the stairs, "you'll know tomorrow. i promise."

i stand up, watching his retreating form, "taehyung ah~!"
