Dear diary,

The last two weeks have been a pain for me.

Today is the last day of the autumn holidays. Jungkook's family hates cold weather so they went to Egypt.

I'm happy for Jungkook, I really am. He probably got to see so many cool things there, like the pyramids!

But I also missed him a lot, we couldn't interact much since there's a different timezone in Egypt. But that didn't help me move on a bit, I'm still kind of in love with him...

Well, seems like moving on won't be that easy, huh?

My holidays were really boring, by the way. Father insisted that I should not take a break and become a literal study machine... So my holidays basically consisted of me studying, listening to Girls' Generation with my headphones on, trying to ignore my father's constant picking on me and thinking about Jungkook.

Great, right?

At least I could text Jimin. He went to Japan to visit his girlfriend's family, which makes me the only one staying at home.

So, tomorrow's school. At least I get to see Jungkook, I missed him!

And Jimin, I kind of missed him too.

Remember my last entry? About Jimin's girlfriend being Jungkook's crush? Do you think he got over it? It's been some time and she's a taken girl after all...

Ugh, I should not get my hopes up. It won't end well.

Anyways, it's kind of late and I need to sleep for tomorrow, I think I have to go...

So goodbye, dear diary, TTYL!

"Taehyungieeee!"

As soon as Taehyung entered the still almost empty classroom, he heard someone shout his name in a purposefully high-pitched voice, sitting in the back row.

"Jiminieeee!," Taehyung shouted back, imitating that high-pitched voice and making his way towards the back row, where a certain someone with flaming red hair, parted in the middle, was now standing up.

Being happy to see the other again, Taehyung wrapped his arms around the shorter boy's neck, pulling him into a quick hug.

Jimin responded to the friendly gesture by hugging Taehyung's waist, smiling fondly.

They stayed a while like this, enacting this beautiful act of friendship, not noticing how another boy entered the classroom.

"Uh... H-Hey, Taehyung." Loosening his and Jimin's hug, Taehyung spun around and saw the person he had been missing so much throughout the whole holidays, of course it was...

"Jungkookieeee!," Taehyung yelled excitedly as he threw his arms around the boy's nape and basically threw himself into his arms. He did not even feel embarrassed or nervous in the slightest, the excitement was taking over.

What he did not see was how a huge, bunny-toothed smile broke out on Jungkook's face, the latter's cheeks reddening tremendously as he embraced Taehyung's sudden 'tackle-hug' by tightly holding his waist.

And once again, it felt like time had stopped.

The hug only lasted for a good 10 seconds until they both realized what they were doing and started panicking, releasing the hug quickly.

While Taehyung was trying to calm the agitation he was feeling, the only thing Jungkook could think about was how good Taehyung's hair had smelled and how nice it had felt to hug him after such a long time.

Because Jungkook had missed Taehyung a lot, too.

On the plane ride to his destination, in the hotel, during the sight-seeing, on the plane ride back, the whole time he couldn't help but think about Taehyung. A lot.

About what he had done, how he had been eating, how he had been sleeping, if he was feeling well, the usual.

And seeing him now, right in front of him made his mind go crazy.

As the two of them sat down, a bit awkwardly, more and more students came flooding into the classroom, chatting loudly and sharing their vacations' stories, giggling and laughing while talking to their friends.

"S-So, how were your holidays?," Jungkook asked rather quietly, looking over to Taehyung.

"U-Uh... kind of boring, actually. Father made me study the whole time, it was exhausting. B-But what about you, how was Egypt?," Taehyung answered, avoiding eye contact with Jungkook, the younger subconciously gritting his teeth when he mentioned the word 'father'.

As Jungkook told him all about his sweet family trip, both of them were happy to feel the awkward atmosphere being lifted, although both of their hearts were beating at an abnormally quick pace.

Just when the younger was about to tell Taehyung about the gigantic Cheops-pyramid, their homeroom teacher entered through the door and made everyone close their mouths immediately.

"Good morning class, today we have a new student with us. His name is Mark Lim (A/N: I didn't want to use the Marks from Got7 or NCT so I called him Mark Lim, feel free to imagine him as whoever you like! :D) and he will be staying with us for the remaining years. You may proceed to enter, Mark."

And through the door stepped a male that Taehyung immediately recognized.

Oh my god, Jimin's cousin! I completely forgot about him, he's transferred to our school!, Taehyung remembered.

In the front rows, he could already hear the females giggling and blushing, the transferee ignoring all of that.

"Hey, I'm Mark. Please take care of me."

Suddenly, he felt someone tense next to him, and as he turned his head, he saw Jungkook narrowing his eyes to slits while staring at the front and clenching his jaw.

And if he was being honest, it intimidated him quite a lot.

And then he remembered: Jungkook was with him at the amusement park.

Well, no shit, Taehyung. It was his damn birthday!

His thoughts were interrupted by his homeroom teacher. "Well, Mark. You may sit next to--"

"Sir, I will move my seat next to Ryujin! He can sit next to Taehyung," someone suddenly interrupted, gathering his belongings and stuffing them into his backpack.

Gasping, Taehyung glanced at the now leaving Jimin with wide puppy eyes while their homeroom teacher looked at the redhead with suspecting eyes.

As Jimin convinced the middle-aged man to let them switch seats, the transferee took huge steps towards Taehyung's desk, making him feel slightly nervous.

Seeing Jimin wink from a few rows up front did not make him feel any calmer.

As soon as the new student sat himself next to him, he turned his head towards him and started smiling.

"Your name is Kim Taehyung?"

The transferee was quite handsome, with perfectly styled brown hair, emerald green eyes and a dashing smile. But compared to Jungkook?

No, Taehyung. No Jungkook.

So Taehyung just nodded, sending a small smile back but gasped when the brunette next to him grabbed his hand all of a sudden and started kissing his knuckles, one by one.

"Nice to meet you."

Extremely flustered, he checked if anyone from the front rows had been watching and took a relieved breath when he saw everyone looking up to the front.

When the other boy released his hand, an enormous blush was decorating Taehyung's face, given the fact that he was very shocked and flustered.

"O-Oh... Nice to meet you t-too," he stuttered quietly.

He heard the brunette laugh silently. "You're cute."

Probably blushing even darker, Taehyung gave him a huge boxy smile and grabbed his backpack rather awkwardly, to unpack his materials.

And while he was doing so, he took another short look around to see if anyone was looking, he accidentally looked into two eyes. Two infuriated, darker-than-usual eyes, which held nothing but pure power-- and rage.

Jungkook's eyes.
