"TAE WAIT!"

Jeongguk didn't even get the chance to warn Taehyung in time. A car had already crashed into him due to its fast velocity.

What Jeongguk saw was red. His friend. His best friend. His love. The guy who he loved with all his heart was on the ground with blood and shattered glass everywhere...

"TAEHYUNG!! NO!! TAEHYUNG WAKE UP! PLEASE STAY WITH ME!!"

"Stay.. with me. I.. Love You. Don't leave me!"

"TAE WAIT!"

Taehyung turned around expecting words like 'I Love You' but instead he was pulled into a somewhat passionate kiss. He was indeed shocked but kissed back none the less.

Jeongguk broke it after some time and said smiling, "That's what I forgot."

Taehyung blushes a bright red and Jeongguk can't help but want to pinch his cheeks.

You could then hear the bell ring.

Taehyung widened his eyes. "I'M LATE!!", he yelled before running off.

In the process, he yelled once more, "JEONGGUK! I'LL GET BACK AT YOU FOR THAT STUNT YOU PULLED ON ME."

Jeongguk laughed and headed back to his school, not wanting to get in trouble.

'We'll see about that'

———

Taehyung slams the class door open, unintentionally.

"I'm... here!", he panted.

"Mr. Kim. Why are you late?", the professor asked.

"I'm so sorry. You see, there was a lot of traffic and I tried to get here as fast as possible. I even got out of the bus mid way and ran here myself. Please, excuse me", he lied. His words and expressions looked very much believable. After all, he is aiming to be an actor along with Bogum.

"Just go sit and don't interrupt the class", the professor told him. Why'd he let it slide? Well, it's because Taehyung never causes any trouble and always comes to school on time.

"Of course", Taehyung said, walking towards the back of the class and taking his seat.

He could feel the stares from the students. It's not that he wasn't used to it. It's just that it's more noticeable this time.

'Damn it, Chanel', he thought as he sat down.

"You think I didn't notice? You were clearly lying. What were you doing?", Yoongi whispered.

"I was with Jeongguk at his new school. Just wanted to spend more time with him, you know?", Taehyung whispered back.

Yoongi sighed. 'This kid', he thought.

"Mr. Min and Mr. Kim! Would you like to tell the class what is so entertaining or will you pay attention to the lesson?", the professor asked, not liking the interruption.

"Sorry, sir", the two apologized.

———

The bell rung and in that moment, Jimin and the rest dragged Taehyung out of the class with a not so happy look.

Once they were out of the professor's view, Jimin asked while crossing his arms, "Tae, why were you late?"

"Yeah, you better have a good excuse. We weren't born yesterday", Jin said.

"Guys, relax. Remember that Tae isn't a baby. Maybe he had some issues at home or he overslept", Namjoon said.

"Nah, I doubt it. How much you wanna bet he was with Jeongguk?", Hoseok said.

"That's exactly what happened", Yoongi said, yawning.

"I'm sorry! I wanted to spend more time with Koo so I asked if I could walk with him to his school. I got carried away and lost track of time. It was worth it, though", Taehyung said, smiling sheepishly. He was remembering the kiss they shared earlier and the thought simply made his heart flutter.

"Awe. Isn't that adorable? Look, he's blushing", Jin stated, cooing at Taehyung.

"I miss Jeongguk. The group ain't complete without him", Jimin said, sighing.

"It's alright. It's his last day there, anyways", Namjoon said.

"I miss fake fighting over Tae with him", Hoseok said, dramatically.

"Don't we all?", Jin questioned, playing around.

"I mean, we can always ditch our last period to wait for him. Doesn't he have physical education at that time?", Yoongi said, back-hugging Jimin while resting his chin on Jimin's shoulder.

"We're gonna ditch again?", Namjoon questioned.

"Not really. Last time, we left like 30 minutes before dismissal. This time, we'll just skip the whole thing and kidnap Jeongguk from his school", Yoongi said with an evil smile.

"Well, this is a side of Yoongi that you don't see often", Hoseok said, chuckling.

"Shut up before I shove the lunch's chopsticks down your throat", Yoongi threatened.

"That's the Yoongi I know and love", Hoseok said, giving Yoongi a bone crushing hug.

"Ew. Go away. I was hugging my boyfriend. Leave. I'm allergic to your physical contact", Yoongi said, trying to push him away.

"Oh, come one. It's just a hug, Yoongz", Taehyung said.

"No, sir. This bitch just tackled me. Hug, my ass", Yoongi said, at last pushing Hoseok off him.

"As if you had one to begin with"

———

Almost the whole school day had passed already. Fifth period had just ended and the rest were trying to figure out a way to get out without getting caught.

"Operation kidnapping Jeongguk... Begin", Hoseok whispered to the rest.

"We're not kidnapping him!", Jin stated.

"Of course, we are", Yoongi said, rolling his eyes.

"All of you gays, shut up", Taehyung told them.

"Joon, what time do the security guards get their break?", Jimin asked.

"It doesn't really matter when they have a break. Another security will just take over for the time being until the other one comes back", Namjoon stated.

"Cut the chit chat. Let's just do what we did last time after Tae left. We lie to them", Yoongi said.

"We have to come up with a better excuse, though", Jimin said.

"And it can't be Yoongi again", Hoseok said, eyeing Taehyung. The rest, doing the same.

"What are you looking at me for?", Taehyung asked, backing away.

"Go over there and tell that security a good lie", Jin told Taehyung.

"I can't do that! I have an excellent reputation with the teachers and staff here! One of you do it", Taehyung said, crossing his arms.

"Tae, you have good acting skills", Hoseok stated.

"I mean, yeah but-"

"Don't you wanna see Jeongguk?", Namjoon questioned.

"Ye-"

"Or we could just go back and see him after school", Yoongi said.

Taehyung wasted no time and left the others. He ran towards the security guard with a 'worried' expression.

"Sir! I just saw two students physically fighting in the restroom. I didn't know what to do and I didn't see any custodian or teacher around. I think they saw me and might have left", Taehyung lied but the security guard had to believe him. After all, his expressions were very convincing.

"Thank you for telling me. I'll go take care of it now", the security guard said, rushing towards the boy's restroom.

Taehyung let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He then gave the rest of the gang a signal, meaning it was clear and they could come out.

"Good job, Tae", Jimin complimented.

"Stop chatting. Let's just go before they catch us", Hoseok said, running out the school's entrence. The others, following behind.

Once they made it out of the school zone, they all jumped and gave each other high fives.

"Operation kidnapping Jeongguk... Success!", Hoseok said.

"We haven't even reached him yet so shut up", Yoongi said.

"Look at Tae. He's so excited to see his future boyfriend", Jimin cooed as he looked at Taehyung smiling like an idiot.

"Ah, young love", Jin said, pretending to cry.

"But Jin... we are young", Namjoon stated.

Then there was an awkward silence for some time until Jimin broke it.

"Let's just go get Jeongguk. You guys are giving me a headache"

——-

"Kookie, would you please flex your muscles for us?"

'I have no reason to do that'

"Let's take a picture together!"

'I only take pictures with my friends'

These are all things Jeongguk would have wished he said but he was someone who didn't want to hurt females or call them out for something unless they crossed the line.

"May I sit on your lap, Koo?"

"Excuse you?! The fuck, no. Don't you even call me that", Jeongguk snapped.

.

.

.

"KOOKIE!", he heard someone yell out. He knew that voice very, very well.

Jeongguk pushed the girls aside lightly, trying to get out of the crowd of girls that were surrounding him.

Once he manages to do so, he sees Taehyung along with the others running towards him from across the field.

Yes, he was indeed confused as to why they were here but at that moment, none of it mattered. He then found himself running towards his friends as well, specifically Taehyung.

When close, Taehyung hugged Jeongguk like his life depended on it. Jeongguk of course, didn't mind and just spun him around as he held onto Taehyung's waist.

Once Jeongguk put him down, Taehyung pulled him into a kiss, surprising Jeongguk but he still kissed back either way.

"Are you surprised?", Taehyung asked, giggling after he broke the kiss.

"Yeah, of course I am. Why are you here? Shouldn't you all be in school? I loved the surprise kiss, by the way", Jeongguk said, not letting go of Taehyung.

"We couldn't wait to see you. We missed you so we decided to come kidnap you", Hoseok said.

"For the last time, it's not kidnapping!", Jin said.

Taehyung removed Jeongguk's arms from his waist and when he did, the rest of the gang gave Jeongguk a group hug.

"WELCOME BACK, JEONGGUK!!", they yelled in unison.

"We're still kidnapping him from school, right?"
