Sick // taekook

Oh my god, where the hell am I going to sit? I don't see anyone I know. Oh my god oh my god. "Next!" The lunch lady glares at me. I blush and mumble a 'sorry' and rush out. God I probably look stupid right now. I sit down after I finally find an empty table. I get out my phone and plug in my earbuds. I don't wanna look like a loser who wishes he had friends, more like a loser who doesn't care.

"Can I sit here?" says a deep, soft voice. Jesus. I slowly look up to see an attractive boy with red hair. "Uh sure I guess." I say quietly and cringe internally. Please don't talk to me. Please don't talk to me.

"Are you new here?" The boy asks. "Yeah." I let out an awkward chuckle in spite of easing the tension. "Me too. My names Kim Taehyung." He smiles and puts a hand out in front of me. I blink for a second "Oh uh my name is Jeon Jungkook." I give a forced smile as we awkwardly shake hands.

"Lemme see your schedule. But we obviously don't have our first two periods together." He says. I nod and get my schedule out of my bag. He scans my schedule, "Hmm. Oh! We have Algebra together! Ooh also History!" He winks at me. I blush lightly. What's up with the winking? He's probably just being friendly. He seems to be too nice to be sick like me. lols.

"You don't talk much do you? That's okay you'll get use to me. We're gonna be best friends!" He laughs and I can't tell if he's joking or not. I awkwardly look up at him and half smile. He extends his arm across the table and grabs my phone. "Hey!" I shout. "Oh he talks. Don't worry Kook, I'm just adding my number." he chuckles. "Kook?" I say incredulously. "Yeah! It's your nickname." He says with a 'duh' tone then takes a picture of himself. I'm assuming for his contact picture.

He gives me back my phone and continues to eat his lunch, occasionally trying to make small talk but I reply with one word responses. Which he groans at. As the bell rings Taehyung rises and says "See you later Kook. Also text me. Hopefully you're more talkative through text." He waves. "See you later..." I mumble. God that was embarrassing! Why does he wanna freaking talk to me anyways?

I look for the Algebra classroom awkwardly and let out an 'ah' when I find it. This is the class I have with Taehyung. I wonder if he forgot about me yet. A smiling teacher greets me "Hello! Take a seat anywhere you'd like." I nod and quickly sit down.

"Kook!" shouts a familiar voice. I cringe and slowly look towards him. "I'm sitting next to you!" he states the obvious. "Shh lower your voice Taehyung!" I shout whisper. "How's this?" He says with his voice going about ten octaves lower. I raise my eyebrows and can't help but burst out into laughter. He grins at me "I'm funny." I shake my head as my giggles die down.

"Okay class! Quiet please!" The male teacher says scanning the room. "Hello freshman! This is going to be a fun year! You can refer to me as Mr.Kim. So I'll start off by saying a little about myself, then we will go around the room. Okay my first name is Seokjin, I'm 25 years old, I'm happily married, my favorite color is pink, and this is my third year of teaching and I'm so excited for this school year!"

Mr.Kim claps. "Okay how about we start off with you. Say your name and give us a fun fact about yourself." He says pointing to Taehyung. I swear to god if he does something extra. Taehyung confidently stands up and says "Heyy! My name is Kim Taehyung or Taehyung Kim is what they say in America," He says wiggling his eyebrows and a few students laugh, especially the girls. "Andddd a fact um... Kook is my bestfreind!" he pats my back and I can't help but blush becuase he's so embarrassing. "Nice to meet you Taehyung! I look forward to teaching you! Next!" Mr.Kim says and points at me.

Shoot! I didn't think about what to say. "Um. My name is Jeon Jungkook and uh... I'm new to this district." I mumble awkwardly and in the corner of my eye I see Taehyung smiling. "NIce to meet you Jungkook." I felt so awkward at that moment I wanted to disapper and strangly I had the urge to cry. As other people continued to introduce themselves I sunk deeper into my seat. God I can't believe I embarrassed myself. Ugh I'm so fucking stupid!

I feel a hand pat my thigh and I tense up. "I already knew that, I'm such a good friend." Taehyung whispers. I chuckle awkwardly "Totally." I roll my eyes. "Did you just say totally?" Taehyung snorts. Oh my god that sounded so gay. He probably doesn't even want to be my friend anymore. I'm such a faggot. "S-sorry." I squeak out, flustered. He looks back at me questionably and shrugs.

"Jungkook! Don't forget to text me!" Taehyung waves entering his next class. I guess he still wants to be my friend. I can't hide the smile that spreads on my face.
