Only friends
Sooner when the lecture came to an end, without any thoughts Jungkook turned around to look at Taehyung.
Jungkook
Um hyung? Can we have lunch together?
Taehyung couldn't hold back his smile and tilted his head softly.
Bogum
If you don't mind can I join you guys?
Mingyu
Of course he won't, right Jungkook?
Jungkook gave a small smile when Mingyu slid his arm around his shoulder.
Taehyung looked down and Bogum eyed the guy suspiciously.
Mingyu
Mm. I'm Mingyu and you?
Mingyu
Let's go then Jungkook!
Jungkook nodded slowly. He wasn't so good with the thought of Bogum joining them. He grew a little too close to his boyfriend for his liking.
Sooner when they reached the canteen. They settled down when a few of their seniors visited them.
Jungkook was popular among them, more like it was them who involved him in their group.
Jiri
Hey Jungkook, how are you doing?
One of his seniors patted his shoulder. Taehyung scowled, the guy was a little too arrogant.
Joel asked pointing at Bogum.
Mingyu
He's Park Bogum. New admission.
Joel nodded his head looking up and down at the guy.
There was an awkward silence. Taehyung gritted his teeth. He did come out, and so he was excluded from having lunch with them, he hated the idea.
Taehyung
So that you'll not be friends with him, right?
He finally broke the silence. Jungkook looked up at him.
Joel smirked before he eyed Jiri.
Jiri
Right. We aren't supposed to be friends with gays, right Jungkook?
Jungkook stiffened as if a deer caught in red lights, with wide eyes he nodded his head slowly.
Bogum
But aren't they good friends?
Joel
It's just because they had to share the apartment, moreover Jungkook despises gay, and he's straight.
Joel defended. Bogum scoffed.
Bogum
I'm happy that I got to know about you guys, I don't want to be friends with people like you.
Jiri
That clearly means you're gay.
Bogum
I don't find it important to disclose my sexuality. Let's go and have lunch Taehyung.
Bogum demanded. Jungkook gulped, he eyed Taehyung hesitantly.
And to his bad, Taehyung nodded. The duo, then walked towards another table that was quite far away from Jungkook's.
Jungkook pursed his lips. His sad eyes staring at Taehyung.
Joel
That's good they went away, isn't it Jungkook?
Jungkook looked up and nodded with a faint smile. Mingyu eyed Jungkook before sighing out. The guys sat on the table.
Jiri
Did Amber arrived yet?
Joel
Um, she told me that she'll be late.
Amber
Hi guys. Did you start eating already?
She said sitting down just beside Jungkook.
Jiri
No. We were waiting for you.
Amber
Thank you. By the way, where's Tzuyu, Jungkook?
He said slowly. His boyfriend was nowhere in front of his sight, either day they would always steal glances with each other.
But today he was just out of Jungkook's sight.
Amber
Oh? Is that why you're sad? Come on, it's okay if you don't stay with your girlfriend for a while.
Jiri
Don't beat around the bush. Aren't we seeing how you're always sticking to her?
Joel
Yeah. We aren't blind Jungkook.
Amber
And anyways, you both look too good together.
Amber
Jungkook parted his lips to protest when Jiri butted in.
Jiri
I envy you, Jungkook. Girls literally die to be with you
He said with a heavy sigh. Mingyu stopped munching his food before he glanced at Jungkook.
Mingyu
They aren't in the relationship yet. Don't assume things.
Joel
Then, sooner or later they'll be together.
He said and other except for Mingyu and Jungkook nodded their heads.
Taehyung nodded his head, sighing.
Bogum
But wasn't it supposed to be a secret?
Taehyung
I don't care. You didn't judge me, so I guess it's safe telling you.
Bogum
But, you survived with it for 3 years? Wow.
Bogum
Don't mind me, Taehyung. One year is long enough to accept themselves, but three years is way too long. Do you even see a future with him?
Taehyung
Yes. He'll accept himself, one day or another.
Bogum
Fine. But I don't think so.
Taehyung couldn't even protest. He had nothing to protest, Jungkook gave him no reason. He just continued to hope for that day to arrive sooner.
Taehyung
Just make sure, you won't tell any of this to anyone, okay?
Bogum
Of course, Taehyung. Jungkook is actually a very good guy, he deserves the world but so do you. I hope he realises before it's too late
Taehyung called out softly. Jungkook stiffened before he looked around, frantically.
Taehyung
It's just us, Koo. No one is there
Jungkook frowned as he looked up with his sad doe eyes, all emotions flowing in as he hugged Taehyung tightly.
Taehyung hugged him back.
Jungkook whined. Taehyung chuckled before kissing his coconut head.
Taehyung
What made my baby upset?
Taehyung
Bunny, can I ask you something?
Taehyung took a deep breath.
Taehyung
When will we reveal our relationship?
"Relationship?" They heard another voice from the entrance of the empty class. Jungkook widened his eyes before pushing Taehyung away.
Jungkook
R-relationship? We- we are good friends and I don't know how I would say that to my seniors?
He fidgeted with his fingers while saying so. Tzuyu face palmed herself.
Tzuyu
He's your friend and there's nothing wrong with that, Kook.
Taehyung pursed his lips, holding his urge back, he clenched his fist.
Taehyung
Not just friends. He's my boyfriend.
Jungkook widened his eyes comically and so did Tzuyu.
Jungkook
No no no. Taehyung is just joking, right Taehyung?
Taehyung continued to stare at him unfazed. Jungkook gulped.
He replied coldly with a blank face.
