PR crisis

In front, having been interrupted, the white-haired professor searched for the source of the commotion. When he saw that it was Jungkook, he forgave him immediately. Jungkook was an excellent student and he must have had some emergency to act this way.

In this eye-catching manner, Jungkook strode out of the classroom.

When he stepped into the corridor, he let out a harsh exhale.

But this exhale was not enough to release his frustrations. His feelings were a tangled knot that weighed on his chest. Like dark and heavy storm clouds, it loomed over his heart, and refused to leave.

He walked out of the school building. Holding his phone, he dialed Taehyung's number.

Ring—— Ring——

The phone had barely rung twice when he hung up without waiting for Taehyung to pick up.

What could he say after calling him... Jungkook gave a self-deprecating laugh. A glaring truth lay in front of him—he did not even have the right to question Taehyung.

From the start, he had never entered Taehyung's world.

No, he had.

Even earlier than Jaehyun, earlier than Yukhei.

If only, at that time...

Jungkook shook his head.

Life was like a series of questions; once an answer had been given, it was impossible to change it. There was no such thing as "if".

Even though he understood this principle, it did not stop him from feeling melancholic.

Hands in his pocket, Jungkook wandered across the campus aimlessly like a lonely spirit.

He tormented himself by visualizing the individual scenes of Taehyung and Yukhei's date. When he was done, he realized that no matter what, he would never, ever tolerate them being together.

Even though this did not seem to make sense, he did not care—he simply would not agree.

......

Having thought this through, he went to relook at the gossip in a calmer mood.

However, as he read on, he began to feel a little distressed again—the whole world was cursing at Taehyung.

Jungkook was unable to continue after a short while. Even if it was only over the internet, he was unable to accept Taehyung being insulted by others like this.

Malicious words were like a knife. Stabby stab, it would strike at a person's most vulnerable spots. No matter how thick Taehyung's skin was, he was only a boy who is very sensitive. What's more, he was very conscious of his image.

Jungkook was still brainstorming on how to turn public opinion around when he received Taehyung's WeChat message.

Ice dog, why did you call me? Do you know that I've been completely dragged through the mud because of you!

I'm sorry.

...

Jungkook's apology came too fast, making Taehyung a little unaccustomed. Furthermore, he felt that Jungkook was a victim of this incident as well. After all, he was now completely green in the eyes of everyone in school...

Where are you now?

I just skipped class. I'm going to train. Right now, only exercise can drive me away from my misery.
