The Cafeteria Show
The moment the lecture ended, Jungkook nearly bolted out of the hall.
Jeon Jungkook
Front row?! Every class?! (he grumbled under his breath, hugging his bag)
Jeon Jungkook
What kind of punishment is that… aishh, ottoke… that guy hates me already. (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
Jimin and Hoseok caught up to him, wheezing from laughter.
Park Jimin
Maknae, you’re actually insane.. (Jimin snorted)
Park Jimin
Who talks back to Professor Kim on the first day?!
Jeon Jungkook
I didn’t talk back! I just… (Jungkook flailed his hands, pout deepening)
Jeon Jungkook
…explained my side. Wae?? It’s not my fault the stupid notebook fell. 😤
Jung Hobi
(Hoseok nearly choked on his water)
Jung Hobi
Explained? Baby bun, you basically sassed the scariest professor on campus.
Jeon Jungkook
Shut up.. 😤 (Jungkook muttered, cheeks puffing up)
Jeon Jungkook
I’m not scared of him.. 😤
Park Jimin
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.. (he smirked)
The cafeteria buzzed with chatter. Students were clustered in groups, gossip flying around about the new semester. Jungkook and his friends squeezed into a corner table.
The moment Jungkook sat, he dramatically plopped his head onto the table with a loud thunk.
Jeon Jungkook
Dead. I’m already dead. Just bury me. (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
Park Jimin
Aigoo, Our kookie, you survived one class. Be proud. (Jimin snickered)
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook peeked up, eyes wide)
Jeon Jungkook
He glared at me like he wanted to kill me! His eyes were like… (he made an exaggerated death glare face)
Jeon Jungkook
…I’ll eat you alive, Jeon Jungkook.. 🥺
Jung Hobi
(Hoseok clapped dramatically)
Jung Hobi
Best imitation award goes to our maknae! 😚
Jeon Jungkook
Yahhh!! (Jungkook smacked his arm)
Jeon Jungkook
Don’t tease me! 😤
But before they could dissolve into more laughter, the cafeteria noise suddenly dipped. Heads turned.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook froze mid-bite of his kimbap)
Jeon Jungkook
…No way… *(´⊙ω⊙`)*
Sure enough, Professor Kim Taehyung walked in.
Not just walked.. commanded the room. Black suit, one hand in his pocket, calm expression that screamed don’t even think about breathing near me.
The entire cafeteria split like the Red Sea, students shifting out of his way.
Jeon Jungkook
Wae is he here?? (Jungkook hissed in panic)
Jeon Jungkook
Professors don’t eat with students!
Jung Hobi
Maybe he’s hungry.. (Hoseok whispered back, eyes wide)
Jeon Jungkook
Then go to a restaurant! Not here! Waeeeee… (Jungkook ducked his head, trying to hide behind his milk carton)
Because Taehyung’s eyes swept across the cafeteria… and landed right on him.
Jungkook felt his soul leave his body.
Jeon Jungkook
Fck.. 🥲 (he whispered.)
To his horror, Taehyung started walking toward their table.
Park Jimin
Oh my god. He’s coming here. Jungkookie… did you sign your death certificate already? (gasped)
Jeon Jungkook
Shut up… shut up… shut up… _:(´ཀ`」 ∠): (Jungkook chanted under his breath, wishing the ground would swallow him)
Taehyung stopped at their table. His gaze was calm, but sharp enough to slice through steel.
Kim Taehyung
Student Jeon Jungkook.. ❄️
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook squeaked)
Jeon Jungkook
Y-Yes, professor-nim? 😅
Kim Taehyung
(Taehyung’s voice was flat)
Kim Taehyung
You forgot your syllabus in class.. (He placed the folded paper on the table)
Their fingers brushed for half a second.. Jungkook swore it was accidental, but the spark sent shivers down his spine.
Kim Taehyung
You’ll need it. Don’t forget again.. ❄️
The whole cafeteria was dead silent, watching.
Jeon Jungkook
(Jungkook scrambled, bowing his head)
Jeon Jungkook
K-Thank you, professor-nim. 😅
Taehyung gave a curt nod. His gaze lingered.. just for a moment longer than necessary before he turned and walked away, leaving whispers behind him.
The second he was gone, Jimin smacked Jungkook’s shoulder.
Park Jimin
Yah!! What the hell was that?!
Jeon Jungkook
What?! (Jungkook snapped, flustered)
Park Jimin
He walked across the entire cafeteria just to give you your syllabus. To YOU. Out of all students! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jeon Jungkook
So what?? He’s just… being professional! (Jungkook argued, cheeks heating)
Jung Hobi
Professional my a$$.. (Hoseok muttered, eyes wide)
Jung Hobi
That man doesn’t breathe unless it’s efficient. And he chose to walk here? Nah, Jungkook, he’s noticed you. 😏
Jeon Jungkook
Shut up! (//∇//) (Jungkook buried his face in his hands)
Jeon Jungkook
*Noticed me? As in… hates me. That’s it. Right? He just wants to make me suffer.*
But his heart was beating a little too fast.
Later that night, Jungkook lay in bed, tossing dramatically.
Jeon Jungkook
Why meeeeeee.. (he whined into his pillow)
Jeon Jungkook
Front row seat torture, cafeteria humiliation… I swear that ahjussi has it out for me. (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
He rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling. But the only image in his mind was those sharp eyes looking directly at him.
Jeon Jungkook
Gwanchana…?(he whispered to himself)
Jeon Jungkook
Maybe he’s just strict. Yeah.. STRICT.. PROFESSIONAL..
But deep inside, a little voice purred..
Jeon Jungkook
Then why did he look at you like that, bunny? (his inner voice asked)
