Taehyung strolled through the hallways of his school, guiding himself to the restroom as the large mass of students headed towards the cafeteria. He felt exhausted; yesterday was his busiest shift.

Many students head to the cafe straight after classes, wanting to get something to clench their thirst.

His hands reached towards the tap as he cupped his hands underneath the spout, splashing the water over his face.

Trying to wake himself up, hoping this will help his eyes from trying too close.

"Hey, Taehyung"

Taehyung looked at the mirror to see Choi coming from one of the cubicles to wash his hands, "Hey", the tired male replied softly, brushing his hands through the brown strands of his soft hair.

"You look tired, dude."

"I sure am feeling so", muttered Taehyung, looking in the mirror to see the dark circles under his eyes.

"You coming to the cafeteria?" Choi asked, walking towards the door to leave.

"Yeah, I will come soon", he replied, giving the male a small smile.

"Yo, Jungkook, are you ever going to stop exercising?" Ryan called out from the group as they sat in the cafeteria eating while Jungkook did push-ups.

"Gotta make sure these arms are strong", Jungkook replied, standing up, patting each arm, then standing up from the ground and sitting on the seats.

"We have a small game this weekend. Make sure you are all at training."

"Yes, yes, we will", They all mocked him, some rolling their eyes at the amount of effort Jungkook was asking them to put in.

As the boys continued to talk, Jungkook's eyes turned to Choi, who was running toward one of the cafeteria tables. He knew that table as Taehyung's friend's.

"Yo, I was in the toilets, and I went to wash my hands, and Taehyung was there. He looked like he was about to fall asleep just washing his hands," Choi said, chuckling along with his other friends.

The raven frowned, standing up from his seat as he headed towards the main toilet.

Pushing the door open, he scanned the large bathroom to see no one washing their hands by the sink.

He turned to look at the cubicles to see one of them shut, "Tae", the raven whispered, knocking on the door.

Hoping that Taehyung is in there and he isn't interrupting someone trying to go toilet.

"Yeah", He heard him softly reply back. "Are you okay? are you going toilet?".

"I was trying to sleep", the male muttered quietly but enough for Jungkook to hear him.

"Come out. I know somewhere you can sleep" The Basketball player stepped back when he heard a bag scrape against the ground and a lock switch.

He frowned when he made eye contact with his best friend, who had dark circles under his eyes.

Jungkook grabbed his hand, dragging him out of the bathroom and towards the front of the school.

"Are you working today?" the male whispered

"No," Taehyung returned, rubbing his eyes. The raven grabbed his keys from his pocket and unlocked the car.

"Hop in the back", muttered Jungkook, who walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk, grabbed a blanket and pillow, and walked to his car's side.

He opened the door and handed Taehyung the pillow, watching as the male laid down. He draped the blanket over his best friend.

Making sure he was fully covered.

"Get some sleep, Tae. I will tell the teacher that another teacher got you to do a job,"Jungkook whispered, smiling when the male nodded and soon fell asleep.

Jungkook shut the car door and walked back into campus. He saw Eun and Boram, his girlfriend, chatting as soon as he entered. He walked over to them and smiled when his girlfriend ran up to him.

"Hey Babe, I went to the cafeteria to find you, but you were not there?" She pouted, dragging him to where Eun was. Jungkook looked at Eun, who avoided eye contact.

"Yeah, sorry I had to help Taehyung with something", he muttered quietly.

"Hey Eun, are you and Taehyung okay?" Jungkook asked

"Yeah, what makes you think we aren't?" She questioned "I don't know. He just seems off," a worried Jungkook replied.

He has noticed Taehyung seemed more tired than usual, a little more quiet as if a lot was on his mind.

His eyes widened a little when Eun chuckled.

"Yeah, cause he has so much going on" she rolled her eyes, walking off.

He frowned at that reply. Was that her being sarcastic. If so, he did not like that reply. Not one bit. "Don't be so harsh on her, babe.

She is going through a lot," Boram pouted, placing a hand on Jungkook's chest. "And Taehyung is not?" he replied, sticking up for his best friend.

Boram sighed, pecking his cheek before grabbing her bag.

"I will go check on her; catch you after training?" she questioned, receiving a nod from the basketball player whose attention was somewhere else.

"Hey, Kook", Jungkook heard from behind him, causing him to turn around. Only to see his pink-haired friend with a bright smile on his face.

"Hey Jimin", He replied back, turning his attention to his friend. "You okay? you seem confused?" Jimin asked, looking concerned.

"It's nothing", Jungkook lied, wrapping his arm around Jimin's shoulder as they walked towards their next class.

"Where is Taehyung? He is normally the first one here?" Jimin chuckled.

"He was exhausted, so I told him to go to sleep in my car", Jungkook explained, chucking his books onto the desk as he took a seat.

"Fair enough", Jimin replied.

Jungkook and Jimin have been close friends ever since he started high school.

The pink-haired male was friends with him before he got into basketball and became 'popular'. He was one of the only people that did not find it weird that he was friends with Taehyung.

"How has he been anyway?" questioned Jimin, opening his book as he started to randomly draw.

"He seems a bit off lately. Something is going on with him and Eun, and I don't know what it could be?" he muttered in reply, looking towards his friend, who gave him a small smile.

"Maybe, it is work?"

"Even if it is, Eun seems so obsessed with herself that she does not care how Taehyung is", Jungkook replied, feeling annoyed as he thought about it more.

"Eun has always been like that, though. I have never been able to see what he saw in her,"Jimin said in total confidence, not caring what other people would think if they heard him say that.

"Are you just saying that cause you had a little crush on her in kindergarten" Jungkook chuckled, chucking a pencil at the male's arm, who frowned.

"N-no, but hey, it was a small crush, and it lasted only a week".

Jungkook stared at Jimin, eyebrow raised. "O-okay, fine, a month, but it went away quick!" The flustered pink-haired male said, shoulders slumped.

Jungkook let out a small chuckle before turning his head towards the front of the class, eyes following the students walking in.
