Hanwol High School, Monday morning

The shrill ring of the school bell echoed through the halls like a war cry, chasing students into classrooms and leaving behind a trail of dropped papers, scuffed shoes, and sleepy yawns.

Except for one classroom — Room 204 — where soft jazz played in the background, warm fairy lights twinkled across the windows, and Jeon Jungkook stood by the board, beaming like the Monday blues had personally apologized to him.

Jeon Jungkook

Good morning, my favorite humans! *cheerfully*

He greeted his students with the kind of cheer that made some groan and others secretly smile.

Mina

You're too energetic for a Monday, sir

Mina said as she slumped into her seat.

Jeon Jungkook

And yet here we are — alive and with literature to read *clapping his hands* Now, who wants to fall in love with Shakespeare today? *smiling*

Half the class groaned. The other half just watched him — because it was impossible not to. He spoke like stories lived under his skin. As if every word had a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, one floor above, Room 308 was silent. Deadly silent.

A piece of chalk tapped rhythmically against the board as Kim Taehyung scribbled equations with sharp, precise strokes. His expression was unreadable. His voice, when it came, was smooth and clipped.

Kim Taehyung

If you're done pretending math is optional, we can begin.

He said, not even looking at them.

No fairy lights. No background music. Just cold logic, sharp lines, and an intimidatingly gorgeous teacher in a fitted black shirt.

Haru

Why is he so... hot and terrifying at the same time? *whisper*

Jisoo

Shhh, he'll hear your thoughts *whisper back*

Lunch Break – Staff Room

Jungkook bounced into the staff room with two coffee cups and a hopeful heart. He spotted Taehyung sitting alone by the window, reading something in a leather notebook. As always — sleeves rolled up, tie slightly loosened, hair a perfect mess of indifference.

Jeon Jungkook

Brought you coffee *smile, sliding the cup towards him*

Kim Taehyung

*Glanced up* I don’t drink sweet things.

Jeon Jungkook

I know *smile* It’s black. No sugar. No cream. Just existential bitterness.

A pause. Then Taehyung took the cup wordlessly. Jungkook plopped into the seat across from him, grinning like he'd just won a silent battle.

Jeon Jungkook

I heard we’re both being sent on the field trip next week.

Kim Taehyung

*Blinked* Why?

Jeon Jungkook

Apparently we’re 'a good balance'. *quoted with air quotes*

Jeon Jungkook

Principal Min’s words, not mine. *shrugs*

Taehyung muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like ‘he’s trying to kill me.’ Jungkook laughed. And from the hallway window, four students peered in like spies on a mission.

Mina

Guys *whispered, eyes wide*

Mina

This is it. It’s happening.

Mina

Operation Taekook is officially ON.
