More Than Rivals #Taekook (Taekook)
Lunch Break
The cafeteria was bustling with energy as students gathered around tables, their conversations blending into a cheerful hum of chatter. The scent of various lunch options—grilled chicken, fresh salads, and the unmistakable aroma of pizza—filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere. Amidst this vibrant scene, Jungkook had claimed a quiet corner of the cafeteria. He sat alone at a small, round table near a window, his book open in front of him. The sunlight streaming through the window cast a warm glow on his face, highlighting his concentrated expression as he read.
Jeon Jungkook
*Sitting alone with a book while sipping banana milk, a look of contentment on his face* Finally, some peace and quiet.
The serenity of his moment was abruptly interrupted when Taehyung, with his characteristic flair, plopped down across from him. His casual stride and the confident way he threw his bag onto the floor made it clear that he was used to being the center of attention. He had a wide grin on his face, which seemed to only intensify Jungkook’s irritation.
Kim Taehyung
*Plopping down across from him, his grin mischievous* Reading during lunch? You’re really something, Jeon.
Jungkook looked up from his book, his expression a mix of surprise and annoyance. He raised an eyebrow, clearly unamused by Taehyung’s sudden intrusion.
Jeon Jungkook
*Looking up with furrowed brows, his tone curt* What do you want, Taehyung?
Taehyung leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the table. His gaze was curious, but his tone carried a playful edge as he feigned interest in Jungkook’s reading material.
Kim Taehyung
*Grinning, his tone light* Just wanted to see what the top student is reading. Got any recommendations?
Jungkook narrowed his eyes, suspicion evident in his gaze. He could sense Taehyung’s attempt at casual conversation, but he wasn’t buying it. He folded the corner of his book, his irritation palpable.
Jeon Jungkook
*narrowing his eyes, his voice wary* Why? Planning to steal my study habits?
Taehyung’s laughter was warm and genuine, a stark contrast to Jungkook’s guarded demeanor. He shook his head, clearly amused by Jungkook’s defensive attitude.
Kim Taehyung
*Laughing, his tone light-hearted* Please, I don’t need your habits to beat you.
Jungkook scoffed, his expression shifting to one of disbelief. He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest as he eyed Taehyung with a mixture of challenge and amusement.
Jeon Jungkook
*Scoffing, his tone dismissive* Beat me? You haven’t even come close.
Taehyung leaned in closer, his eyes sparkling with a competitive fire. He was undeterred by Jungkook’s dismissive attitude, clearly relishing the challenge that Jungkook presented.
Kim Taehyung
*Leaning in, his tone playful* Maybe not yet. But I like a good challenge.
A smirk played at the corner of Jungkook’s lips as he closed his book with a decisive snap. His eyes met Taehyung’s with a mixture of skepticism and confidence.
Jeon Jungkook
*smirking, his tone confident* You’ll need more than charm to keep up with me.
Taehyung’s grin widened, his eyes twinkling with a mix of mischief and determination. He stood up, giving Jungkook one last teasing glance as he prepared to leave.
Kim Taehyung
*His tone enthusiastic* Good thing I’ve got brains too.
Jungkook watched as Taehyung walked away, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips despite himself. The vibrant cafeteria scene resumed its lively rhythm as Taehyung joined his friends at a nearby table, his laughter blending seamlessly with the hum of conversation.
Jeon Jungkook
*smirking, mutters under his breath* we will see about that
Jungkook shook his head, returning to his book with a resigned chuckle. The brief encounter had been a welcome distraction, and while he remained focused on his studies, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for the challenges that lay ahead.
