ㅡ chapter four.

' deal or no deal '

the next day, namjoon was hesitating whether he should go to school to hide his bruises or just... face the consequences.

moreover, it'll just get worst and he'll be more dissapointed if he just kept it hidden from yoongi and jeongguk.

so, he had to do something embarrassing for him.

he walked in the campus with a hoodie on.

he rarely wears hoodie in school or show up wearing a hoodie.

everyone was looking at him weirdly yet he still looks good in glasses with a hoodie on.

when yoongi and jeongguk got in his sight, he got more anxious and nervous. he doesn't know how to explain it to them so he began to mentally prepare himself with an intimidating look on display.

jeongguk's cheerful look made him frown, he can possibly ruin his mood today.

"hey hyung!" jeongguk chirped as he ran towards namjoon only to embrace him. namjoon chuckled sadly and hugged back, making sure that the bruise on his jaw isn't visible.

namjoon sighed in relief when jeongguk pulled away and didn't notice the bruise on his jaw.

but, oh boy, someone else did.

"care to explain what's on your jaw?"

namjoon slowly yet hesitantly brought his gaze at yoongi whose calm look changed into an angered one. he frowned and lets out a sigh.

"i... i'm sorry." namjoon stammered. he looked at jeongguk and immediately, his heart shattered into pieces when he saw his pained expression.

jeongguk swallowed a big lump in his throat. "h-hyung." he whimpered as he embraced namjoon but tightly this time.

namjoon embraced the pained male and rubbed his back in circles soothingly. "i'm okay, ggu. see? i'm fine." he reassured.

yoongi, who was pissed off, was still pissed off but twice as that, predicting that it's them who did it.

jeongguk whined louder and pouted as he pulled away and looked into namjoon's eyes. "but hyung. bruises hurt a lot." he exclaimed.

namjoon just chuckled and ruffled his hair causing the youngest to grumble. "they do but it doesn't hurt me for i, the god of destruction, can't be hurt." he said in a fancy way making jeongguk giggle.

"it's them, isn't it?" yoongi spat, venom laced with his voice. namjoon sighed once again and nodded. jeongguk had enough as he can feel his blood boil.

literally, they always hurt namjoon.

it's always him...

why does he always get hurt when i started all of this?

they never wanted me.

the target is me, not joonie hyung.

"ggu!"

jeongguk snapped out of his thoughts and suddenly groaned when a pain shoots through his head.

it happened again.

"are you okay?" yoongi asked worriedly as he scans jeongguk's pained expression. "i-i'm okay... it happened again." jeongguk murmured, not wanting anyone else to hear it expect for yoongi and namjoon.

"ugh... they're really getting in my nerves." and with that, yoongi walked away, stomping furiously against the concrete floor.

jeongguk followed yoongi, fastening his pace while namjoon followed last, shouting the eldest's name over and over again but it never works.

but before they can even scream his name again, a sound coming from the speakers played around the campus causing for the trio to stop and bring their gaze on the medium-sized speaker.

"attention students. i would just like to say that I need these students in the principal's office right now. i repeat, i need these students in the principal's office right now. the students are, kim namjoon, kim seokjin, min yoongi, jung hoseok, park jimin, kim taehyung, and jeon jeongguk. again, the students are, kim namjoon, kim seokjin, min yoongi, jung hoseok, park jimin, kim taehyung, and jeon jeongguk. please go to the principal's office right now. thank you and enjoy the rest of your day."

jeongguk gasped slightly and glanced at both namjoon and yoongi. "w-what did we do though?" he asked the duo, anxiety rushing through his body.

namjoon massaged jeongguk's nape as a comfort and clicked his tongue. "i think my mom knows." he mumbled causing yoongi to look at him with wide eyes.

"your mom knows? fucking finally!" yoongi cheered through his gritted teeth. jeongguk giggled and saw a glance of the others walking up the stairs, probably making their way towards the principal's office.

"let's go then." and with that, they walked towards the principal's office, worrying over nothing since they're close with namjoon's mom and is always chill whenever they talk.

but not for long.

"hey, mom." namjoon said casually as the trio walks in the office. only two chairs are present and taehyung is sitting on one of them.

yoongi stood beside the unvacant chair and gestured for jeongguk to sit down with his arms crossed over his chest.

jeongguk got the hint and swallowed a big lump in his throat. this might be the first and the last time he'll be this close to his enemy.

"okay. so my son probably knows why all of you are here." mrs.kim said with a calm tone, looking into their eyes one by one.

yoongi smirked and felt excited to hear the reason.

"taehyung, seokjin, and jimin. you three."

"what about us?"

"i'm guessing that you don't have any clue that there are cameras installed around the campus, am i right?" she asked the three causing them to widen their eyes in surprise.

"dumbasses." yoongi mumbled under his breath with a playful smile. mrs.kim looked at yoongi with a dead-panned look and yoongi suddenly whispered a 'sorry'.

"i've seen in a specific footage from yesterday that..." mrs.kim smacked her lips together. "you three cornered my son and one of you beated him up, no?" seokjin gulped and cursed in his mind.

"and i've seen that it was you, seokjin." mrs.kim said plainly, sending shivers down the trio's spine while hoseok just kept his gaze on the floor.

"i-i'm sorry, mrs.kim-"

"saying sorry can't get you out of this problem. but instead, i prefer all of you to get along by fixing and cleaning an abandoned classroom that we're planning on changing it into the opposite of abanonded. it's gonna be used next school year and i think doing it after every classes until the end of the school year will work for me." mrs.kim said interestingly. the corner of her lips rising, satisfied to see their shocked reactions.

"WHAT?!"

mrs.kim giggled like an innocent kid while she stood up and placed her hands on her hips. "are you deaf?" she asked as all of their eyes got wider if possible.

"b-but- you know us so well, mrs.kim! some of us would end up fighting!" jeongguk protested as he stood up from his seat, fear can be read on his face.

mrs.kim hummed. "that can lead to all of you apologizing to each other and if you decide to quit, then things will just get harder. do you wanna know what all of you would be doing if you decided to quit?"

"no thanks-"

"you'll clean up the entire campus until the end of the school year."

the boys groaned in frustration.

mrs.kim chuckled. she has never asked students to clean up as an apology, it's usually going to the students' house so that she can talk to their parents.

lucky for them, she has mercy on the boys.

"joon, jeongguk, and yoongi, you three will be excused for one class once i let all of you go. you two have to assist my son while he's in the clinic." she said receiving a nod from the trio.

there has been an uncomfortable silence for almost a minute now but mrs.kim broke it catching the boys' attentions.

"deal or no deal?" she asked like she's asking a question about kill or be killed, for the boys.

when someone didn't answer, jeongguk sighed and looked at mrs.kim with a challenging look.

"deal." jeongguk answered. mrs.kim hummed in satisfaction and out of nowhere, gave jeongguk three bars of chocolates out from her drawer.

"since you answered without hesitantion, here are three bars of chocolate for you. your favorite to be precise." she said in a sweet tone making jeongguk squeal and ran around the desk only to embrace her.

"thank you!" he chirped while the other boys have their mouth agape.

"NOT FAIR!"

≈≈≈
