10. Men will be men
Jungkook got into bed with a face that expressed he absolutely didn't understand people with Taehyung's EQ.
Taehyung was worried that Jungkook would ask why he wanted them to sleep together again, so he pretended to read. But, he was so nervous that he flipped the pages too quickly and his eyes weren't even moving, just staring at the same spot on the page. Anyone who watched carefully would see that he wasn't really reading.
Jeon Jungkook
*Silent while he played with his phone on the bed, observing him from the corner of his eyes.*
Kim Taehyung
*After 'reading' for some time and finding that Jungkook had nothing to say to him, he relaxed and closed the book, placed it under his pillow, then said* "I'm sleeping now."
Jeon Jungkook
*Smiled and made a sound of agreement.* "Hmm."
Kim Taehyung
*Quickly closed his eyes and sneakily bent his leg to touch Jungkook's.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Didn't avoid it.*
The small patch of skin where the two people were touching started to heat up...
Obviously, the plan 'Pretend to Sleep Together Naturally' was a success.
Kim Taehyung
(I'm a genius at influencing people's hearts!) *thought with a small, irrepressible smile.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Looked at the pretty teenager who was lying in his bed, knees stealthily touched to his own and a sneaky smile on.*
Jeon Jungkook
"Hu--" *He took another deep breath, switched off the reading light, and lay down to sleep.*
With the protection of his human-shaped talisman, Taehyung successfully survived another dreamless night and had a wonderful sleep. He felt energized when he woke in the morning and was practically glowing, making his pretty face even more eye-catching.
Jeon Jungkook
*Had eyebags, his handsome face showing traces of exhaustion...*
They looked like a little fox spirit who finished a satisfying meal of Yang energy and the unfortunate guy who got drained dry by said spirit!
Jeon Jungkook
👈unfortunate guy
Kim Taehyung
*He poked Jungkook and asked* "Did you not sleep well last night..."
Jeon Jungkook
*Yawned and replied quietly* "I slept fine, pretty good."
Kim Taehyung
*Looked at him again. Feeling worried about his future sleeping arrangements.*
Kim Taehyung
*Hurriedly asked* "Was my sleeping posture bad last night?"
Jeon Jungkook
*Shook his head and chucked his empty coffee can into the bin from a distance before glancing at him and saying* "No, I just stayed up too late playing games on my phone."
Kim Taehyung
--👉The cute little straight male was relieved!
Now that the sleeping problem was resolved, the next step was to take care of the lesson problem. After all, standing at the back of the classroom was not a solution.
Therefore, once the first lesson was over, Taehyung rushed to the staffroom to find his homeroom teacher.
Their homeroom teacher was a woman with the surname Cheng, currently in her forties, with a son in primary school. She had a strict personality and didn't smile often, but as she took her job very seriously the students were both fearful and respectful towards her. When he walked into her office, she was busy marking the schoolwork that was handed in that morning.
Teacher
*The chemistry teacher opposite her was talking to another student, saying* "Go to your classroom and tell two boys to come over and help move these workbooks."
Miss Zheng(Homeroom teacher)
*Looked at Taehyung and asked* "What can I help you with?"
Kim Taehyung
*Nervously licked his lips and said* "Teacher Cheng, I want to change seats."
Miss Zheng(Homeroom teacher)
"Where do you want to move to?"
Kim Taehyung
"I want to change seats with Jung Hoseok."
Miss Zheng(Homeroom teacher)
*Furrowed her brows and remembered that the person sitting next to Taehyung was the worst student in the class, so she asked* "Is Jong In bothering you during classes?"
Kim Taehyung
"No, no, of course not." *He shook his head.*
Kim Taehyung
(The ghost that likes to harass Jong In is bothering me during class, but I can't say that out loud...)
Miss Zheng(Homeroom teacher)
"Then why change seats? You have to have a reason."
While she was speaking, Taehyung heard footsteps behind him. They were probably the students who came to help the chemistry teacher move the workbooks.
Kim Taehyung
*Without looking behind him, He used the excuse he had pre-prepared and recited* "My literature grades are too poor. Jungkook is very good at literature and he can help me."
Miss Zheng(Homeroom teacher)
*Asked* "Have you asked Jungkook?"
Kim Taehyung
*Nodded his head and lied* "I talked to him; he agreed to help me after classes."
They actually never talked about it!
This setup was so that he could act like he didn't know why the teacher changed their seats!
If he didn't put up this facade, considering how he had stuck to Jungkook for the past two days - sleeping together, eating together, even going to the toilet together - if he now wanted to sit together... he really didn't have the face to let Jungkook know.
But right as he said that, an amused voice sounded next to Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook
"Teacher Cheng, I've already discussed it with Taehyung, please help us change seats."
Kim Taehyung
*Was so startled he almost jumped out of his skin!*
Kim Taehyung
"Um, that..." *He turned stiffly to see Jungkook standing next to him with an armful of chemistry workbooks, and Hoseok standing behind him with another load of workbooks.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Had a serious expression on his face*
Jung Hoseok
*Wore a sneaky smile.*
Kim Taehyung
(Dammit, I should have looked behind me just now!)
Jeon Jungkook
*Continued* "Is that okay, teacher Cheng? I promise I'll tutor Taehyung well."
Taehyung might be wrong, but he felt that there was some emphasis on the word "tutor"...
Kim Taehyung
*He couldn't agree but couldn't disagree either. He stood there blankly, so embarrassed that he was sweating.*
Miss Zheng(Homeroom teacher)
*Nodded.* "I understand and will think about it. Please go back to the classroom; class is starting soon."
Jungkook's father had given the school a large amount of money some time ago. This gave him some special privileges in the school. As long as the things he requested didn't go against the school rules, they would probably be given to him; even if he said he didn't want a roommate, the school would try its best to indulge him. Changing seats wouldn't be a problem at all.
Jeon Jungkook
*Revealed a bright and handsome smile and said* "Okay Teacher, we'll go back to the classroom first. Goodbye."
Kim Taehyung
*Face was completely red.*
Kim Taehyung
*He didn't want to walk with him so he tried to stay behind and let him leave first.*
But right at this moment the familiar cold feeling crept up on him again. Failing to register the situation, Taehyung inadvertently looked down.
Kim Taehyung
*This one look almost made him jump in fright in front of the homeroom teacher again!*
Under the homeroom teacher's table, there was a cute little girl around five or six years old. The use of the descriptor 'cute' was based on her features: a pair of large, innocent black eyes and delicate mouth and button nose like a china doll. She seemed like she would have been cute when she was still alive that is, if you ignored her paper-white face and bleeding orifices.
The little girl was wearing an ankle-length pastel pink dress. Kneeling on the floor, her snowy arms were obediently hugging the homeroom teacher's leg, the corners of her mouth slightly raised as if satisfied from this contact. The homeroom teacher, on the other hand, was oblivious.
Kim Taehyung
(This wouldn't be... ) *his face turned white and his hair stood on end. He opened his mouth wanting to say something to the homeroom teacher, but Jungkook had lightly bumped into his shoulder and said*
Jeon Jungkook
"Come on, let's go."
The image in front of him disappeared.
There was nothing under the homeroom teacher's desk other than a trash can.
Kim Taehyung
*Dazedly followed Jungkook and Hoseok out of the teachers' lounge, his mind replaying the image of the little girl's ghost.*
Jung Hoseok
*Lightly kicked Jungkook and scolded jokingly* "Damn you playboy, you don't want me, your father, anymore."
Jeon Jungkook
*Gave him a look and quipped* "Pack up quickly and get out."
Jung Hoseok
*Shook his head and teased dramatically* "Tsk tsk tsk, men are always like this, ditching the old lover for the new. Men will be men."
Kim Taehyung
*Expression immediately turned strange; the embarrassment that had been chased away through fear of the little ghost had resurfaced making him unable to lift his head.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Tilted his head to the side slightly, glanced over at him, and followed up Hoseok's taunts with a low call of* "Hey, new love."
Kim Taehyung
*Glared at him.* "Don't say stupid stuff like that."
Jeon Jungkook
*He walked into the classroom and put the chemistry workbooks onto the teacher's desk before striding to his table in the back row and taking his seat.*
Jung Hoseok
*Collected a bag of trash from beneath his chair and threw it into the bin at the front of the class in preparation for trading places with Taehyung.*
Kim Taehyung
*Ears burned with embarrassment from the actions of those two.* "......"
Kim Taehyung
(Somehow, I really don't like this!)
Probably because it was too embarrassing yesterday, Taehyung avoided standing in the back during second and third periods today. But, when the bell rang signalling the start of the fourth period math class, the founder of the school returned to inspect the classroom again. He was dressed very respectably and even the remaining half of his head was neat and clean so much so that Tae could see the especially smooth bisection of his brain!
Once the old gentleman walked into the classroom he immediately focused on Taehyung, clearly not having a good impression of this bad student who was sleeping during class and messing around in the back row yesterday.
Kim Taehyung
*Terrified and immediately looked down* "......"
Old gentleman ghost
*Was already striding towards him, his footsteps were quick and steady*
-His bones were clearly still strong and healthy when he died!
Kim Taehyung
*Wasn't concerned about being embarrassed at this point.*
Kim Taehyung
*He grabbed his math textbook and workbook, leapt out of his seat, rushed back to Jungkook, and prodded his shoulder lightly.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Poked him in the ribs softly in return.*
The ticklish Taehyung let out a loud laugh as the math teacher walked through the door.
Kim Taehyung
"Hahahahaha!"
Jeon Jungkook
*Put his head in his hands, trying to stop himself from laughing.*
Even though he couldn't see him now, Taehyung could guess that the school's old founder probably stood behind him, lecturing him about how inappropriate it was to mess around and laugh during class.
Kim Taehyung
*Once he imagined that scene, he nervously leaned closer to Jungkook.*
