Maybe This Time [Taekook]
Chp. 1
No matter how bitter it may be, our first love is one of the first steps into the world.
Some may be lucky at their first try.
Some may have decided not to try again.
But many are sure to be unlucky.
However, before all of that...
What is love? Is it that dreamy and alike to fairy tale stories read to us when we were children where it starts with 'once upon a time' and ends with 'happily ever after'?
Or is it really lonely and painful?
Kim Taehyung
? Kook. *smile* You're early today.
Jeon Jungkook
*smile* I... I want to give this to you. *blush and sprint away*
Kim Taehyung
What's-? Kook? *confused* *looked at the gift JK gave him*
Kim Taehyung
*opens it curiously*
It was fall when I gave him that gift box. There was a necktie and a handkerchief formed that was folded into a heart.
I gave it to him as a way to confess, but I guess... I didn't get the message through.
Jeon Jungkook
*looking for TH at the gym* 😄 Hyung. ?? 😕
Kim Taehyung
Are you okay, Jimin? You tripped real bad. *pulled out a handkerchief* Here.
Park Jimin
Hss... I'm fine. It's not that serious. Just a light scrape.
Kim Taehyung
You could get infected still.
Park Jimin
Just take me to the clinic. They'll spray it with anti infection or something.
Kim Taehyung
Alright. Hold on. *assisted Jimin*
Jeon Jungkook
.... 😕 Hyung....
Jung Hoseok
Hey, Jungkook. *sat beside him*
Jeon Jungkook
? Hey. Do you need anything?
Jung Hoseok
Yes. We're recruiting members for our dance club. Are you interested?
Jeon Jungkook
Uhh... Nah. I don't know how to dance.
Jung Hoseok
Is that it? I can teach you. Plus, our senior Jimin will be joining. Ain't it cool to be in the same club as him?
Jung Hoseok
*smile* Just try out. I'll guide you all the way through.
Jeon Jungkook
*nods* Fine. I'll try out.
Jung Hoseok
Nice. I'll put your name down, okay? I'll expect you to come tomorrow, 4:50pm at the gym.
Chp. 2
Jeon Jungkook
*waiting by the school gate and spots Taehyung* Hyung! *wave*
Kim Taehyung
? Kook. *smile* Why are you still here?
Jeon Jungkook
I was waiting for you. *smile* Let's walk home together.
Kim Taehyung
Oh. Sorry, Kook. My friend got injured during practice. He needs help going home.
Jeon Jungkook
Oh. You're sending him home?
Kim Taehyung
*nod* Yes. Sorry, Kook.
Jeon Jungkook
*smile* It's fine. But you owe me dinner.
Kim Taehyung
*chuckle* Fine. *smile*
Jeon Jungkook
*smile* See you tomorrow.
Kim Taehyung
*nod* See you.
Jeon Jungkook
*looks one last time and leaves*
Park Jimin
You literally broke his heart there, Tae.
Kim Taehyung
How's your knee?
Park Jimin
*roll his eyes* Don't be heartless. You saw him at the gym earlier.
Kim Taehyung
. . . Do you need help or not?
Park Jimin
You're the one who insisted on helping.
Min Yoongi
Welcome, idiot. You almost missed dinner.
Jeon Jungkook
I didn't miss beer, did I?
Min Yoongi
Nope. Not for you.
Jeon Jungkook
Come on. I've been begging for a sip since I was 10.
Min Yoongi
And not for another 10, how about that?
Min Yoongi
Take a sit before I'm done. Otherwise, you're alone on this table.
Jeon Jungkook
Coming. *took a sit*
Min Yoongi
*observes JK and noticed that he's quieter than usual* What happened to you? You're all quiet and still. Nothing happened today?
Jeon Jungkook
A lot happened. Just not what I want to tell. *eats*
Min Yoongi
Whatever happened, I really want to hear it.
Jeon Jungkook
Not a chance you're hearing it from me. There is one though and I wanna ask you.
Jeon Jungkook
I'm thinking about joining the school dance club. Will it be a good idea?
Min Yoongi
Let's make a deal. If, you don't dance around the house and blast rock music, you can dance. Otherwise, forget it. Everything about dancing, erase it. Got it?
Jeon Jungkook
It'll stay at school. And my room.
Min Yoongi
Deal. Go for it then.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay.*continues to eat*
Jeon Jungkook
Morning, hyung. I'm going straight to school.
Min Yoongi
Sure. By the way, mom an dad will be back by saturday night.
Jeon Jungkook
Is it your birthday that I'm forgetting of something?
Min Yoongi
. . . I don't know. Maybe... maybe something else that's important. I didn't catch dad's last word when he called.
Jeon Jungkook
I see. Well, I don't care. *leaves*
Min Yoongi
. . . *sigh* Not cool, Yoongi. Not cool.
Chp. 3
Jeon Jungkook
Hyung, here you are.
Kim Taehyung
*smile* Kook. You're early.
Jeon Jungkook
*smile shyly* I... have some assignments to finish. How about you? Are you waiting for someone?
Jeon Jungkook
I see. *smile* Are you-
Park Jimin
Taehyung! *wave*
Kim Taehyung
Hey. Thought you fell down the road or something.
Park Jimin
*chuckle* *looks at JK* Hey, a junior. Did I interrupt something?
Kim Taehyung
*faced JK* Yeah, what were you asking again?
Jeon Jungkook
. . . Nothing. I said I'm off to class. *turned around and leaves*
Park Jimin
. . . You're seriously not going to go after him?
Kim Taehyung
Let's go to class. I have a project to finalize.
Park Jimin
I hope you know you're being a jerk.
[AFTERNOON] - (School Gym)
Jeon Jungkook
*looks around feeling like a newbie*
Jung Hoseok
There you are.
Jung Hoseok
This way. Let's fix you up.
Jeon Jungkook
Are you sure I'll make it?
Jung Hoseok
Of course. I'm your recruiter. I know which has talent and which doesn't.
Jung Hoseok
Would I have asked you to come if not?
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah, but...
Jung Hoseok
Come on. Loosen your shoulders and sway.
Jeon Jungkook
*sigh* I'll try my best then.
Jung Hoseok
That's the spirit.
Jeon Jungkook
*nervous smile*
With Hoseok's help, I successfully became a member of the dance club. I loved performing but I always lacked the confidence.
Jung Hoseok
Here, our new members. Jungkook and Lisa. *clap*
Park Jimin
*smile* Welcome to the team.
Lalisa
Hello, everyone. *wave*
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel jealousy whenever I see Jimin Hyung. He's nice and kind and whenever I think about how close he is to Taehyung, I feel somewhat jealous.
Lalisa
I didn't know you were also good at dancing, Jungkook.
Jeon Jungkook
*smile* It's just my hobby. I developed it somehow.
Lalisa
Still, you got a bomb with your moves back there. It's awesome. Keep going. *cheers him up*
Jeon Jungkook
Thanks, Lisa. You were a wonderful dancer too.
Jeon Jungkook
*chuckle* Just making sure.
Lalisa
*smile* I'm going home. See you tomorrow.
Jeon Jungkook
See you. Bye.
