EIGHT
The placard that read class "A" hung above the varnished, chestnut-colored door. Jungkook sighed as he entered and sat in his usual seat in the back, dropping his bag on the chair. He looked at the desk covered with doodles and drawing from the students of the last batch. He scraped his chipped nails over the already worn-off desk indicating signs of jumbled thoughts running through his mind.
And as you would guess, he was pondering about what happened yesterday. He is still confused about how he should feel about Taehyung's confession; he also wonders what his answer to Haerim would be. There was so much room for useless thoughts that he didn't even notice the professor entering the class.
Yet, his attention was centered towards the professor as soon as he noticed that it wasn't Taehyung.
"Good Morning students, Mr.Kim has some errands to run, so I'll be your substitute teacher for today" The professor announced and it made Jungkook stand up, expressions of confusion and worry popping upon his face.
"What happened, Jungkook?" The professor asked, jolting Jungkook who quickly shook his head and sat down.
What kind of errand? To meet his fiancée?
Jungkook's thumb immediately traveled towards his mouth, the already eaten nail ready to be chewed again.

Jungkook's mind only wandered over thoughts about Taehyung and he couldn't focus over class even for a single second. Finally, half of the day was over and it was recess, he was about to head to the cafeteria when one of his classmates stopped him.
"Jungkook, I just met Professor Kim in the parking lot and he is calling for you" The boy told him and his eyes immediately widened.
He knew nothing as he pushed the boy aside and ran towards the parking lot as fast as he could. It's funny how he's such a fool, even if Taehyung would hurt him a million times, he'd still go running back to him. Every fucking time.
He caught up with his breath as he entered the parking lot, his eyes immediately scanning through the area, looking for the brunette.
He gasped as he was pulled inside the car by Taehyung and before he could even process what was happening, the car door was locked and the seatbelt fastened on him.
"What?" He asked in confusion but didn't get an answer as the car started and they left. To say in simple words, he was being kidnapped.
Throughout the ride, he kept bombarding Taehyung with questions yet the man stayed silent as he drove the car. It was so irritating that Jungkook gave up asking after a while as he looked out of the window, trying to distract himself.
"You're still playing with me?" Was the last thing that left his mouth as they got off the car. Before Jungkook could protest, Taehyung grabbed his hand and dragged him inside a house that Jungkook assumed was his fiancée's.
"What? Now you want to take me to—" Before he could even finish his sentence, they were standing in front of three people that were seated down on the couch, as confused as Jungkook.
Among them, Jungkook only knew the woman in her late 20s sitting beside the other two— who looked quite old—Taehyung's fiancée.
What the fuck is happening?
"Taehyung, why did you call us here? And who is this boy?" The old woman asked, looking at Jungkook.
"Mom, dad, and Ara" Taehyung called out, making Jungkook flinch as he looked at Taehyung, who had an expression of strong-will on his face.
Jungkook's eyes widened as he saw Taehyung intertwine his hand with his, making him blush uncontrollably. Seriously, what the fuck was happening?
Even the three, whose names were just called, were confused and shocked at Taehyung's boldness.
"What is this, Taehyung?" His fiancée asked.
"Yeah, what is this, Hyung?" Jungkook whispered in Taehyung's ear, who ignored him.
"It took me a lot of courage to come here and say this in front of you but I'm sorry I won't be able to marry Ara" Taehyung said as he bowed down making everyone present in the room gasp with shock.
"W-what? Wh-why?" Ara stood up as she asked, hurt and tears leaking her eyes.
"I know that it was your wish to see me get married to a pretty woman and have children but I'm sorry, mom and dad, I can't do it, since I like boys" Taehyung announced. Even though his words were dripping with confidence and determination, his hands were trembling and that couldn't go unnoticed by Jungkook.
Even though he was confused about what was happening, he still squeezed Taehyung's hand in assurance, caressing the back of it, and surprisingly, his hand stopped shaking.
He took a deep breath before continuing.
"I've been an obedient son all these years, and supported you financially and emotionally, but I don't think I can spend my whole life living for others. For this once, I wanted to do something by my own will"
"What are you saying, Taehyung?" His father stood up, showcasing expressions of anger.
"I know you're not happy with my decision, dad, but this is what I want and choose" Taehyung said.
"Fine! You can live life your way but don't even think of associating with us after that!" His father yelled
"I was scared all this time that you would abandon me if I told you the truth, but I don't care anymore. I don't need anybody to accept me because if you loved me, you would still love me even after knowing the truth" Taehyung said, tightening his grip on Jungkook's hand.
"And I assume this is your boyfriend?" His mother asked with disgust and Taehyung looked at Jungkook who was still surprised by the situation they were currently in.
"He's not my boyfriend but I love him, that's all that matters to me" Taehyung confessed, making Jungkook blush even in a situation like this. He could feel his heart flutter; realizing Taehyung was doing all of this because of him.
"Then what are you waiting for?! Get out of here!" His father yelled while Ara sobbed on his mother's shoulder.
"I'll keep sending the money" Taehyung said before turning to leave. Jungkook was about to retract his hand but Taehyung didn't let him do it as they walked out of the house.
They sat in the car and it was immediately filled with sobs of Taehyung. Jungkook spoke nothing as he rubbed Taehyung's back to comfort him.
After a few minutes, Taehyung calmed down and looked at Jungkook.
"Jungkook, I want to be a kid with you. I want to cry, laugh, be jealous, and love you. A-am I allowed doing that now?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook was surprised by the confession but smiled, ruffling Taehyung's hair, making him blush.
He said nothing as he pulled Taehyung closer to him, responding to Taehyung's question by sealing their lips together in a kiss.
