Please, You Stay Alive (Taekook)
Episode Twenty
The rude classmate opens his mouth to make another tasteless joke, but Taehyung cuts him off before he does.
Taehyung
He's not bothering anyone.
Classmate
He knows I'm only joking.
Classmate
Right, Jungkook?
Jungkook says, defeat in his voice.
Classmate
We're all friends here.
Classmate
Hey Jungkook, can you let me borrow some money to get something from the snack bar, pal?
The only money he has is the money he brought to go to the arcade with Mingyu after school.
Maybe he can give the boy a little and keep the rest for himself, so he can play at least one game. He won't be able to get any snacks at the arcade; he'll have to eat when he goes back home.
Taehyung
Don't give him anything.
Taehyung scolds Jungkook when he reaches into his pocket to take out the money.
Taehyung turns to the boy.
Taehyung
You're really pathetic.
Taehyung
Leave Jungkook alone and get the hell out of here.
The boy sees the anger in Taehyung's eyes and doesn't even try to challenge him.
The group of boys leaves, but Taehyung stays behind with Jungkook in the garden.
Taehyung
I apologize on that idiot's behalf.
Jungkook laughs half-heartedly.
Taehyung doesn't laugh with him.
Taehyung
You have to stand up for yourself or people like that will walk all over you.
He understands but being assertive doesn't come so easy to him.
Mingyu comes back with lunch.
Taehyung
I'll be going then.
Taehyung
See you guys around.
Jungkook and Mingyu say goodbye.
When Taehyung is no longer in sight, Mingyu speaks freely.
Mingyu
Why was Kim Taehyung here?
Mingyu
Did he try to bully you?
Jungkook
He just gave me some advice.
Jungkook
Now let's eat. I'm starving!
