【 Jungkook 】

After the field trip and its pleasant—... and not so pleasant events, an uncomfortable tension ended up forming between you and a certain male in your major; not that it wasn't there before, it had been there ever since the day he first found out about the secret you desperately had been trying to keep from him, the difference was just that the tension now only seemed to have grown impossibly greater after the events from the trip.

Which in return resulted in a bad habit of throwing out passive-aggressive remarks at each other almost every chance you got, naturally leading to a lot of bickering. And it was no surprise that the both of you soon were known amongst your classmates for being the duo who were constantly at each other's throats about one thing or the other.

A soft hum left your lips as you blinked your mildly uncomfortable eyes, still not quite used to the feel of wearing colored contacts, but it was your only way of hiding the color swirl in your eyes that would appear if you were to accidentally make eye contact with Taehyung at any point during the day.

Considering how risky and tiring it was to constantly have to be on alert and careful with where you looked to ensure no one saw the obvious Mono eye trait, colored contacts just ended up being the easiest and best solution for you to ensure your Mono identity stayed hidden from everyone else.

Once you were stood outside of the lecture hall, you couldn't help but curse under your breath as you peeked in through the door's window, seeing how the class had already started— and so after letting out a dreadful sigh, you quietly pushed the door open and entered the lecture hall, apologetically bowing to the professor whom flashed you a look of mild annoyance at the interruption

Jungkook: I'm sorry professor Hwang, I didn't know we were switching lecture halls today...

He sighed but nodded understandingly as he urged for you to go sit down

Professor: I'll let it slide this time, take your seat and turn to page 146.

You nodded before swiftly scurrying over to the nearest empty seat you could find, immediately beginning to take out your books and computer— only to let out a soft ''Fuck I left it on my desk...'' as you realized you had forgotten to bring the textbook you needed for this class with you. This earned a soft snicker followed by a softly muttered out ''Idiot...'' that could be heard coming from someone sat behind you; unsurprisingly belonging to none other than the Kim Taehyung himself, and you rolled your eyes as you glanced backward whilst quietly whispering out an irritated reply to him

Jungkook: Call me an idiot one more time, I dare you Kim...

And as soon as you turned your back towards him to dreadfully ask the professor if he happened to have an extra textbook, you could feel how Taehyung leaned in closer to you before whispering out yet another taunting ''Idiot.'' into your ear; purposely kicking the seat you were in which made you clench your jaw from frustration as you once again turned back towards him, flashing him an annoyed glare

Jungkook: Very mature of you dipshit...

He chuckled softly whilst tauntingly sticking out his tongue at you, only to frown seconds later from confusion after seemingly noticing how you were able to make direct eye contact with him without that faint rainbow swirl appearing— making a proud smirk tug at your lips, knowing the colored contacts did their job

However, the two of you simultaneously flinched lightly upon hearing how the professor suddenly cleared his throat before calling out both of your last names scoldingly

Professor: Kim and Jeon, just what is so important to discuss in the mids of my lecture?

You swiftly turned towards the professor and flashed him a soft apologetic smile while calmly answering him, making up a perfect answer within seconds which instantly had Taehyung gritting his teeth

Jungkook: I was just asking him if I could get my textbook back that he borrowed from me yesterday sir, but it seems he didn't bring it with him so now I don't have a textbook.

The professor rubbed his temples before nodding slowly as he sighed, gesturing for you to come down and get yourself a spare one

Professor: I have an extra laying on the desk so grab that and use it this class, now I don't want either of you to interrupt my class any more than you already have today, understood?

Taehyung and you subtly glanced at each other before turning back towards the professor as you both nodded, uttering out a soft ''Understood.'' before you got up to go get the book so that the lecture could proceed.

| Later...

Once the lecture finally got dismissed, you swiftly packed up your things before beginning to make your way out of the lecture hall as you were headed off to go meet up with Yoongi and Hobi. However, you were soon stopped in your tracks as you could hear a familiar deep-toned voice call out to you, letting out a stern ''Jeon Jungkook, let's talk.''

Though you couldn't help but let out a breathy laugh as you turned around to face the said male, raising an eyebrow whilst watching how he slowly approached you— the students whom happened to be passing by could be heard letting out displeased whines along the lines of ''Oh no, they're at it again?'' and ''These two seriously can't go a day without fighting, can they?''

Jungkook: Why should we? I don't have any business with you Kim.

He shot you an annoyed glare as he crossed his arms while looking down at you, tone automatically lowering a threatening octave lower as he huffed

Taehyung: That wasn't a question, it was a statement Jeon. Quit yapping about and follow me

A huff of disbelief left your lips as you crossed your arms whilst looking up at him, shaking your head as you couldn't hold in the snicker which escaped past your lips

Jungkook: For someone who was so passionate in telling me not to come looking for you, I must ask, were those words really meant for me... or for yourself?

After seeing the stunned look on his face, you turned around to leave the scene— only to seconds later feel yourself being grabbed and slammed up against the nearest lockers as his fierce eyes met your own ones once again while he hissed angrily at you

Taehyung: Fuck off Jeon, don't spout nonsense!

One could tell he was practically fuming already, so you flashed him a knowing smirk as you calmly rested your back against the lockers whilst looking up at him, your own tone teasingly lowering as you could tell you had found a good way to combat him

Jungkook: Nonsense you say? Oh but your actions seem to speak louder than your words right now Kim.

He gritted his teeth and let out a frustrated laugh while leaning down closer to you, making your breath hitch a bit from surprise at the sudden close proximity

Taehyung: Mind your own words, you know damn well you're pushing your luck with me right now.

You hummed before swiftly grabbing onto his shirt's collar as you flipped your positions over, now being the one holding him pinned against the lockers while you looked up at him, the grip around his shirt's collar still tight as you smirked

Jungkook: Kim Taehyung let's get the facts right, you were the one who bugged me first during the lecture multiple times, and you were the one who called out to me just now saying we needed to talk when you know damn well there's nothing we need to discuss. I'm not pushing my luck, I am merely stating the facts.

A breathy laugh left his lips as he widened his eyes, hands automatically finding their way up to your own shirt's collar since he wasn't going to let you have full control over the situation— voices progressively getting louder and more aggressive by the second

Taehyung: Sure, I did do that Jeon. However, you're pushing your luck with my patience you little shit!

Jungkook: Oh don't be ridiculous, if anything my patience is running low with you bastard!

The sound of footsteps running over towards the both of you were soon heard while your names were called out by a combination of familiar and unfamiliar voices, and it wasn't long before the two of you were pulled away from each other as you saw Hobi and Yoongi hold onto you while 3 other males you recognized to be Taehyungs friends pulled him away too.

Namjoon: Hey cut it out you two!

Yoongi: You two better back off and quiet down before a professor sees you!

You rolled your eyes as your friends let go of you whilst Taehyungs friends did the same thing with him, of course that didn't stop either of you from practically sending visual daggers at each other with your glares

Jungkook: He's the one who started it all.

Taehyung: Shut it Jeon, if you—!

One of his friends swiftly interrupted him as he stood almost like a barrier between you both to try to ensure some peace was kept

Jimin: I swear the tension in the air between you two could be cut with a damn knife at this point, both of you just calm the fuck down.

Hoseok gently rubbed your back before wrapping his arm around your shoulder as he nodded at you

Hoseok: Come on Gguk, let's go.

Jin: Taehyung-ah you too, come on let's go.

After glancing one more time at each other, the both of you parted ways as you went in two different directions accompanied by your friends. And once you knew you were out of his sight, you felt how your legs threatened to fold under you as the tension and nerves you had been feeling earlier finally got to you; though thankfully both Yoongi and Hoseok were quick to make sure you didn't fall as they looked down at you in worry

Yoongi: Woah there, you okay Ggukie?

A soft ''Yeah, I'm fine hyung'' left your lips as you flashed them a reassuring smile while nodding, though that didn't seem to ease the worried looks that were painting both of their expressions

Hoseok: You sure? Things looked like they were getting intense back there, he didn't hurt you right?!

You shook your head reassuringly before letting out a breathy giggle as you thought about the rather absurd situation

Jungkook: No he didn't, don't worry. I'm just not used to acting so boldly, so the after-effects from the tension and nerves just got to me for a second

They both laughed softly while nodding understandingly, and Yoongi gently patted your back as he spoke

Yoongi: I don't blame you, the tension between you two felt like it could be cut by a knife as his friend said. Now come on, let's get you some iced coffee so you can cool down.
