16. Cloudy sky or eye?
So there...Jungkook had finally admitted to himself, and he didn't know what to do. He felt nervous, he felt happy, and he confused, he felt everything at once hit him. And, it still felt good. Somehow, after everything, it still felt good. Because now, he wasn't lying to himself. Jungkook smiled softly.
It was like a dark room, he was sitting in a dark room. And suddenly, the light switched on, and everything pieced together like a puzzle piece. Whenever he felt tingle, whenever he felt nervous, whenever his mood switched up.
Jungkook felt fireworks explode at the back of his mind, suddenly, the day became lighter, the air smelt fresher, everything seemed more positive to Jungkook. And this time, he knew exactly why.
Jungkook was walking down the corridor slowly, his hands at his sides, and his fingers tingled. Jungkook saw Taehyung at the end of the hallway talking to a teacher. Taehyung's back was facing him, and Jungkook smiled softly, seeing the silver haired boy.
He walked past Taehyung, hoping that the silver haired boy noticed him. "--Hey! Jungkook! " Jungkook stopped walking when he heard Taehyung call him. He smiled a little bit, feeling relieved. He took a deep breath, and turned towards Taehyung, smiling.
He walked towards the silver haired boy, who was leaning against the door, smirking. Jungkook's heart involuntarily flipped back and forth, "hey Taehyung. " Jungkook said softly.
" Hey bunny boy. " Taehyung replied, looking at Jungkook with warm eyes.
Jungkook, abruptly not knowing what to say, chuckled a little, " how was your exams? "
" It was alright I guess. Although I could've used the moral support from you. " He added.
" Well, I hope so, otherwise I have to tutor you all over again. And I really don't want to do that again. " He lied.
" Oh shut up, you know you love me. " Taehyung teased, and Jungkook gulped. Jungkook didn't say anything but just looked up to Taehyung's sparkling grey eyes. He stared into them, wishing to stay in this moment, where the waters were calm. The storm had gone. The clouds had disappeared. And the dazzling sun had come out again.
" Well, I've got to go Jungkook, so... hopefully I'll see you later, yeah? " Taehyung said quietly.
Jungkook nodded, and waved slowly as Taehyung walked off. He watched as Taehyung walked, disappearing into the perspective. Jungkook smiled softly because he knew that this wasn't going to last.
He knew that he would hide his feelings from Taehyung. He knew that after Taehyung got his grades, they were never going to talk again. Taehyung had said it himself. Jungkook started walking the other way thinking about everything that had ever happened.
They first met when Jungkook spilled his coffee all over Taehyung. Taehyung was a goddamn rude ass boy, but as Jungkook got to know him in the past few months, he realised how delicate Taehyung was, just like everybody else.
The second time was when Jungkook swilled Taehyung, throwing his cold coffee because he had hurt Jungkook's feelings. Jungkook laughed to himself. He thought of himself to be strong willed but really he was sensitive.
The third time was when Taehyung got his revenge on Jungkook, and spilled his lunch all over Jungkook. God that day was epic. Jungkook had beat the crap out of Taehyung's car.
And then, everything had started. Jungkook's cleaning day with Taehyung, when they first started talking. The day when Jungkook had taken care of Taehyung. Jungkook noticed the little things that Taehyung had taught him. He told him to speak his mind, to be more comfortable, to not be afraid of wanting the things he wanted. Everything came back to him like a cool breeze.
And the things that was tattooed in his mind, the near kisses he had with Taehyung, and the actual kisses. Jungkook had never felt so brave with someone, so confident yet so shy, and timid at the same time. He wouldn't have been able to do that with someone else.
When they kissed for the first time, it was like pure bliss. Jungkook felt that it was so right but wrong at the same time. And that reminded him, the two still hadn't talked about what had happened the day before. They acted like it was a normal thing to happen on a daily basis.
Jungkook felt so confident in Taehyung's arms. He felt comfortable in Taehyung's aura. But the question was, did Taehyung like him back?
That was the worst thing about having a crush. You're never sure about what's real or fake. You get hurt so easily but you're never content.
Jungkook let a soft sigh escape his pinky lips as he twirled his brown, highlighted hair, chewing on his bottom lip.
" Mr. Jeon, Principal Lee wants to have a few words with you. " Jungkook saw the receptionist rush up to him.
" Um....okay? "
He walked into the principal's office and knocked at the door. He walked in and saw Principal Lee munching on a double decker burger. " Ah, Jungkook, perfect timing. "
" You sure? Because you're kind of like eating at the moment. I can just wait outside. " Jungkook said, watching his headmaster slurp on his drink.
" No no, don't mind me eating my salad right here. " He said, continuing to eat, chewing loudly. When Jungkook didn't say anything, he motioned for Jungkook to sit down.
" Sit Jungkook, we have a lot to talk about. "
" I beg to differ. " Jungkook laughed. Principal Lee looked at Jungkook with a dead on look, which made Jungkook stop laughing immediately. Jungkook coughed a little bit, and Principal Lee rolled his eyes.
" Right, as I was saying, we actually do have quite a lot to talk about. " Jungkook nodded, and listened to his headmaster.
" The first thing, is obviously about Taehyung. The end of term is near, and with all of his exams approaching, I'm hoping that his grades are going to exceed my already high expectations. "
" Yes sir. " Jungkook noticed that Headmaster Lee always got serious when he talked about, or talked to Taehyung, so he answered respectfully.
" If his grades are still poorly, I'm afraid we won't be able to give you your letter of recommendation, and you won't get an extra grade for it, and if you do get an extra grade, that would look very good to red flag universities. "
Jungkook looked confused, " extra grade? "
" Yes, the AVC governers decided that it will be best to give you an extra grade for it, under social work. "
" Sir, if you don't mind me asking, who proposed this idea to the school board? "
" I did. Frankly, you did deserve it. "
Jungkook smiled and nodded.
" The second thing, is that we have Taehyung's core papers right here. He done them all today, and they will be marked today. We put him as our top priority, but don't tell him that. We'll get back to you tomorrow about his grades. "
Jungkook didn't say anything, and just waited for Principal Lee to continue talking.
" The last thing, a new student will be coming to AVC. I, myself, do not know who it is at the moment but considering the fact that you helped Taehyung, I want you to help the new student. Show them the ropes and everything. "
" Sir, another question....if you don't mind me asking, why are you enrolling so many new students? Especially since we're halfway through the year.
Principal Lee shook his head, " you wouldn't understand Jungkook, it's a very long and complicated story. "
Jungkook took that answer to leave. But before he left, he turned around to look at his head teacher.
" Headmaster Lee? "
Principal Lee looked up to Jungkook, who was standing at the doorway, and looked at him in confusion, " yes Jungkook? "
Jungkook took a deep breath in, " why me? I'm just a bronze. I don't understand why you're associating me with the best of the best. And I know that the new student is going to be a platinum. Wouldn't it be better to push them with people more of their own. "
Headmaster Lee chuckled, " this school is messed up, but one thing you need to know is that, ten years from now, all of these ranks aren't going to mean anything. And another thing you need to know, I think that just by your personality, you should be ranked as the best of the best. Don't worry Jungkook, I had it exactly the same as you. "
••••••
Jungkook kept thinking about what principal Lee had said to him. It was like he was helping Jungkook in some weird way. But Jungkook didn't know why.
As Jungkook was walking out, he saw Taehyung leaning against his car, talking to some girl.
Jungkook tightened his hold on his backpack, and gulped. He slowly walked up to the pair.
"--and this party, is one of the biggest of the whole year. It's to celebrate the end of exams. Everyone will be there, everyone will be wasted and everyone will be horny. "
Jungkook pulled a weird face at the choice of her words. But she didn't notice because she was to busy twirling her hair, biting her lip, looking up at Taehyung with her beady eyes, and sticking her chest out.
" Girl...you look like a pigeon. " Jungkook mumbled, loud enough for Taehyung to hear. Taehyung snorted and held in a laugh.
The girl hand Taehyung a flyer and turned to Jungkook, " hey....you... You know about the annual end of exams costume party, right? " She asked, not knowing Jungkook's name.
Jungkook shrugged, " who doesn't? "
" Great! Take this flyer, hope to see you. "
Before she left, she ran a finger down Taehyung's chest and fluttered her eyelashes, " I'll see you there..."
Jungkook rolled his eyes and gagged, while Taehyung smirked.
After the girl left, Jungkook burst out laughing, " she was totally so desperate. "
" So? What's wrong with that? Sometimes I need to be reminded that I'm a handsome fella. " He said.
" Handsome fella? Who do you think you are? Plus, you get reminded everyday so....." Jungkook replied.
" A day in the life of Taehyung, " he said, putting his arm around Jungkook, walking with him, " it's luxurious. " Taehyung added.
" Oh yeah, sure it is. "
It was silent between to the two as they walked. Both, not knowing where. They just walked, and walked. Talking, laughing, shoving each other around.
It didn't really matter where the two went, because in that moment, they weren't alone. The two were alone, but together.
After walking around for a bit, Jungkook realised he was quite far from home. The two were next to a coffee shop. Taehyung looked up to the sky, " we should head inside, it looks like it's about to rain. "
The sky was cloudy and grey. " Just like your eyes. " Jungkook said quietly.
" I guess so. The colour, right. "
" Not really, " Jungkook said as the two walked into the coffee shop, " it's cloudy, distant. When you see the grey sky, you say it's going to rain, but really no one knows that. "
Taehyung chose a table next to the window, and sat down, " you take everything deep. "
Jungkook sat down opposite Taehyung, warming himself up, he pulled his sleeves down his arm, "seriously, what's the point of life if you don't take the deeper meaning. " Jungkook shrugged.
Taehyung smiled a little bit, " there's a lot of different people I've seen, but no one like you. Your view on almost everything makes more sense than anyone can make. Tell me, " Taehyung leaned forward, " what's your secret?"
Jungkook's heart paced, and the breaths that he was taking we're becoming more and more heavy. He traced every single bit of Taehyung's face with his eyes, " I don't have any secrets. " He breathed out.
Taehyung reached out to take Jungkook's hand in his, " you don't have any secrets, but how do you do it? " He said lowly, making sure that passerbys didn't hear his conversation with Jungkook.
" You just....got to see things from more than one perspective. And if you don't know how to do that, then it's best to not say anything at all. "
Taehyung rubbed circles on Jungkook's soft palm, and he looked up at Jungkook with those soft,cloudy eyes. Jungkook didn't know if it was going to rain, or if it was going to clear but that didn't stop him from staring into the two orbs like his life depended on it.
" You've helped me with so much, I don't think even you know how much you have helped. " Taehyung whispered.
Jungkook didn't say anything further, he slowly leaned down, and breathed in Taehyung's comfroting scent.
Jungkook could hear the pitter patter of the rain hitting the window, and it oddly made him feel more at home. And the warmth of the inside contrasting with the freezing outside. But they mixed together so well.
Jungkook was going to do it. For once, he was going to be brave. He cupped Taehyung's sharp jaw with his free hand, and pushed himself slightly forward. They were merely a centimeter away.
" Taehyung? "
