Chapter 3 - The Start

Jungkook hurriedly arrived at his school to look for a specific person. He was panting heavily when he stopped running.

"Oh, Jungkook, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" it's been so long since he heard that familiar voice.

He smiled when he saw Hoseok, in the future, they will barely meet because Hoseok loves to travel a lot and their schedules wouldn't match up when it comes to their day off.

And now in the past, Hoseok was a student teacher so they would gain experience from teaching.

"Uh, yeah, I ran thinking I'd be late," Jungkook giggled.

"Since when did you care about being early, though?" Hoseok questioned.

Wow, he literally has lots of regret during his senior high school life. Why did he even become a troublemaker for fucking sake?

"Well, ahm, you see I had to be early because the principal already gave me warnings or else I'd be kicked out," Jungkook lied to save his ass.

"Oh, that's right, can't believe you will get scared of his warnings. Anyway, you should get going now, your first class is about to start." Hoseok reminded him.

"See you later, hyung!" Jungkook ran away and went to his first class.

His eyes wander around the classroom, hoping his eyes will land on a familiar person. And they didn't fail when he met those pretty eyes, looking at him.

"Oi, JK, come and sit here!" someone called his name but Jungkook was lost with those eyes as if telling him to come to Taehyung.

He didn't fight it back though, he walked toward Taehyung and sat down beside him. He saw that it surprised the latter.

"Hi, I'm Jeon Jungkook, it's nice to meet you," he smiled at Taehyung.

He could tell the confusion written on Taehyung's face and it made him giggle internally. His husband surely knows how to make his heart melt.

"Kim Taehyung, nice to meet you too," there's a hint of shyness in Taehyung's tone which is very understandable.

Besides, he must have been feeling awkward because someone like Jungkook who was a totally stranger was talking to him, for everyone, that would be strange.

"Jungkook, that kid is a new student so please don't do anything to him." His teacher already warned him with a glare.

"I won't do anything to him, Sir" Jungkook giggled while his eyes still focused on Taehyung's side profiles.

He didn't even notice that the teacher was taken aback by his response because a teenage Jungkook wouldn't reply to something like that. He should have more sounded like teasing their teacher but his voice was as if he was genuine.

Well, the teacher was kind of okay about it, though because it would be his advantage to have a peaceful lesson for today.

"Okay, everyone, please open your journal to page 13 and read the texts there. We were having a pop quiz."

The students whine because their teacher always gives them a hard time and it's still early in the morning, meaning it's annoying for them.

Taehyung could feel that Jungkook was still staring at him. It was creeping him out and making him uncomfortable too. They were answering the pop quiz but his seatmate had the guts to focus on him instead of their pop quiz.

"Is there something wrong with my face?" he took the courage to speak to him even though it made him nervous.

He couldn't properly look him in the eyes, though.

"Of course, there is," Jungkook smiled with his bunny teeth showing.

"Huh? Where? Can you please tell me?" Taehyung was embarrassed, thinking that there might be some dirt on his face.

"Beauty," Jungkook simply and shortly said with confidence.

"Huh?" Taehyung was literally taken aback by his response.

"There's a beauty in your face, couldn't help myself admiring it." Jungkook chuckled.

When Taehyung was able to understand Jungkook, his cheeks reddened. He covered his face with his palms, attempting to hide his face. He didn't respond and acted as if it was just nothing for him.

"Jungkook, you better be done with the quiz, instead of flirting with Taehyung." the teacher suddenly scolded them, making the situation worse for him.

Taehyung hiccuped, he was sure his ears and nape were red as tomatoes.

"I'm finished," Jungkook said.

That made Taehyung look at Jungkook with a surprised expression, how come he was done when the pop quiz was so difficult that Taehyung was still in the first 5 questions out of 20 items?

He could tell that Jungkook was telling the truth. But still, that's so fast for someone delinquent like Jungkook. Did he just guess them? Maybe that's the reason why he's already done.

"Pass it to me, I'll check them." the teacher said as if he wasn't surprised by how fast Jungkook answered them.

Jungkook stood up gave his paper to their teacher and went back to his seat beside Taehyung.

"As expected of you, you perfect them," the teacher sighed.

Taehyung couldn't comprehend what he just heard. Aren't delinquents usually stupid types of people?

Then why this person...

Is he Einstein or something?

"Yes, is there something wrong with my face? Or do you need help? I wouldn't mind helping you." Jungkook questioned him.

"N-no, I'm fine, thank you." Taehyung just sighed.

He's jealous, he wishes he was as genius as Jungkook. How fortunate to have a smart brain...

"Hey, Taehyung!"

While walking in the hallway to go to his next class, he heard Jungkook's voice calling him. He stopped and turned around to look at him.

"Your next class is communication, right? Let's go there together." Jungkook said.

"Oh, okay," Taehyung just accepted it and started to walk.

"How are you? Are you doing well?" Jungkook asked as if they were close.

"Yeah, I guess so?" he was unsure what to answer.

He was okay, but his score on the pop quiz earlier didn't even reach the half of whole items. He had to improve, or else, he wouldn't get any allowance this month. Even though they are rich, his parents want him to prove his worth to them which is stressful for him.

"If you need help, just tell me, I will help you. I know how to tutor someone." Jungkook offered him help.

That kind of surprised Taehyung, he was sure he didn't mention about tutor, then how come he offered that as if he knew him?

"How did you know I need a tutor?" Taehyung was seriously suspicious of Jungkook, there was something he was hiding that Taehyung couldn't point out.

"Well, uh..." Jungkook had already forgotten that they had just met and should have acted clueless.

But since he knew Taehyung so well, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Oi, Jungkook, you better not mess with my brother, or else, I'll kill you."

That voice, it was Jin. It's been so long since Jungkook heard his voice. In the past, it was Jin who helped him with his needs as a student because his parents didn't support him anymore. After all, he kept his pride as a delinquent.

"I'm not, Hyung~ I'm just offering to help him as a tutor, he needs one, right?" Jungkook replied to Jin but not to Taehyung because he didn't know how he should respond.

"Oh, that's right, you need a tutor right, Taehyung? I believe he has specific intentions for you but I can say with 100% confidence that he will surely be a great help to your studies." Jin told to Taehyung.

"But Hyung, he is a delinquent..." Taehyung muttered.

"I know, but don't worry, I will cut his dick if he ever attempts to touch you, okay?" Jin glared at Jungkook. "Besides, even with that image, Jungkook is the top student here, he's the one who offered it as well. Don't waste it, it's for your own good." Jin explained and patted Taehyung's hair.

Taehyung sighed and nodded his head. Jungkook bit his inner lip because this was the start of their romantic relationship if nothing had changed or something odd in this past. But as of now, everything is similar to his past, except the fact that he doesn't belong in this world.
