9. lesson learned

It was around four o'clock. Jungkook was in his apartment. Jungkook was frantically running around trying to organise his things. With his deadline under a month away Jungkook had very little time to his self, and he knew that the ongoing months would be very stressful without any time to have fun.

Jungkook was in boxers, a large sweatshirt and knee-length socks. He was sliding around trying to get as much work done as possible.

The sound of his phone ringing was heard and he went and picked his phone up, " hello? " He answered hastily.

" Hello Jungkook? " Taehyung said, Jungkook could hear that Taehyung was outside because it was raining heavily.

" It's four. You're half an hour late. "

Jungkook gasped loudly, " oh my god. Taehyung I'm so sorry! Where are you right now? " Jungkook asked.

" I'm outside of school. " Taehyung said, his voice gruffed.

" Um...do you think we could raincheck? I'm really busy with my assignment, and the first few days are crucial because of planning and figuring out the costs of everything. " Jungkook rambled on until he realised he couldn't hear Taehyung on the line anymore.

" Taehyung? You there? " He asked slowly.

Taehyung coughed, " yeah I am. " He said flatly. " Raincheck? " Jungkook said slowly.

" No. "

" Why? You know I'm busy? "

" So, " Taehyung began, " whenever I missed a lesson you went running to Headmaster Lee. But now you miss a lesson and everything's fine. Especially since every lesson counts, the quicker I get my grades up, the quicker I can forget you. "

" If that's what you want. " Jungkook mumbled, his heart pulling at Taehyung's words.

" Where can I meet up with you? "

" You can come to my apartment. " Jungkook said softly. He gave Taehyung the address and awaited his arrival. He cleared up his workspace a bit, placed the pillows correctly, opened up the curtains and windows, lit a candle and even sprayed a bit of fragrance to bring a cheery feeling into his living room.

Normally, Jungkook paid no heed towards guests coming to his house, because he knew that they wouldn't judge his one bedroom apartment. But this was different. This was Kim Taehyung, a mega rich, mega snob and a mega hot person coming too Jungkook's living space.

His two cats watched Jungkook running around cleaning up a bit, in confusion. Their eyes went back and forth as Jungkook ran from one place to another, cleaning.

Jungkook stopped running to look at his two cats ( which were suspiciously seated right next to each other ) with narrowed eyes, " don't be naughty. " He said to the both of them, to which they meowed in response. Jungkook smiled at patted there heads, and scratched under their jaws. The two cats began purring and curled up into two ball on the floor.

The door bell rang and Jungkook quickly went and got it. He opened the door revealing a drenched Taehyung. His hair was matted and sticking to him, his nose was red, and he was shivering.

" Oh my God... " Jungkook uttered, and immediately pulled Taehyung into the warmth of his apartment.

" How long were you outside? " Jungkook asked to Taehyung, who was taking his soaked coat off. " I waited ten minutes for you in the library, so then I went outside and waited for you. Plus, I had to walk it here. " Taehyung's voice was very blunt and Jungkook knew that Taehyung was mad at him for forgetting the session that was on today.

" Let's just get this over and done with. " Taehyung said sniffling.

" Oh no no no, mister. You are going to shower, get changed, have a warm cup of ginger tea and warm yourself up. And then only will we start with the session. "

Even though Jungkook disliked Taehyung, his mom had always taught him to look after people, that way, when you needed looking after, people would help you.

Taehyung groaned but Jungkook dragged him to his bathroom. " Stay. " He said before running to get some clothes. He grabbed a spare white top and a pair of tracksuit bottoms. He also grabbed a towel, and went to his bathroom where Taehyung stood. "Here, you shower. I'm going to make you tea, and turn the heating up. "

Jungkook handed Taehyung everything and walked towards his kitchen. He started making the tea and could hear the bathroom water running. He couldn't help but feel bad, it was his fault Taehyung was sick.

He continued making the tea, he felt something soft hit his legs, Jungkook looked down and saw Nissan rubbing his head against Jungkook's leg. Jungkook smiled and picked his tiny cat up, moving away from the kitchen counter.

He moved to the living room area and played with his cat. As he was playing with his cat, Taehyung came out of the shower, his silver hair now a dark grey and his eyes, hooded.

He looked up and saw Jungkook staring at him, "...thanks. " he said awkwardly but Jungkook just smiled.

" I made you tea. " Jungkook said, standing up and handing Taehyung the mug. " You didn't have to. " He said, slowly starting to sip on the warm tea.

" Yes I did. Sit, don't just stand there. " Taehyung nodded, and sat next to Jungkook. He looked around Jungkook's apartment. " What's your cat called? " He asked, trying to make light conversation.

" Nissan. " The small cat was purring in Jungkook's hands, until he seen Taehyung. He looked at Taehyung suspiciously and then slowly looked away, back to his owner, the small cat started purring again.

Just then another cat came and jumped onto Taehyung's lap, meowing quietly. The cat sat on Taehyung's lap, looking up at him with large curious eyes.

" That's Micra. They're both really tiny so I named them after tiny cars. " Taehyung smiled slightly at Jungkook's logic.

The two were silent for a while. Taehyung looked around Jungkook's apartment once again. He just didn't understand how such a tiny place could be called home, and give off a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Jungkook sat up after a while moving Nissan off of his lap, and taking Micra and putting him on the floor. " Let's get started on tutoring you. "

Taehyung nodded and grabbed his books. " I was reading over the topics. What's aerobic respiration? " Taehyung asked, opening his book and already starting to take notes.

" Basically there's two types of respiration. Aerobic and anaerobic. But before you learn any of that you have to learn what respiration is. Do you know what that is? "

Taehyung nodded unsurely, " respiration is breathing? Like... respire. "

" In some ways you'd be correct, but you wouldn't get the marks for that. Respiration is the release of energy. And that's what aerobic and anaerobic respiration is, the release of energy. Write that down. Make sure you underline the ' release of energy. ' If a question like that pops up, that's what you'll get the mark for. "

Jungkook watched as Taehyung scribbled down the notes as fast as he could and underlined them just like Jungkook had told him to do.

" Okay we'll start off with aerobic. The word equation for this is: glucose plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide and water, which is the release of energy. Aerobic respiration is used to break down lactic acid so you can breathe properly. Aerobic respiration takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. "

Jungkook let Taehyung finish off writing these notes, before starting to continue again.

" Anaerobic is simple, all you need to know is that anaerobic respiration is the release of energy without oxygen. Underline ' without. ' The word equation is: glucose equals lactic acid, which is the release of energy. "

" What's lactic acid? "

The look of concentration on Taehyung's face, made Jungkook smile slightly, " lactic acid is what builds up in your stomach to give you stitches and cramps. Because it is able to break down glucose without oxygen it uses the energy quicker which makes you tired earlier. Because of the build up, it eventually creates an oxygen debt which is paid off by regaining your oxygen. "

After Taehyung finished writing, Jungkook looked at the time, it was already near to five thirty. They had past the time when they were supposed to finish but it was only fair since Jungkook was half an hour late.

Taehyung saw Jungkook pack his things up and go into a room. A few minutes later he walked into the room with a few rolls of fabric.

" Taehyung you can go now. I'll call a taxi for you, and your coat is dry. " Jungkook walked towards Taehyung with his coat in his hand.

Taehyung slowly took it from Jungkook, nodding at him.

Taehyung confused Jungkook. He was probably one of the loudest, most rudest, arrogant and cocky boy he knew however he was very quiet, dull, blunt, he knew how to be brutally honest and straightforward. It only took a click of the fingers for Taehyung's mood to switch.

Jungkook called the taxi and walked Taehyung to the door, " get home safely. " Jungkook whispered to Taehyung, smiling. Taehyung smiled back at Jungkook, stuffed his hands into his pockets and walked away.

" Jimin-ah... " Jungkook whined pouting. " What bitch? " Jimin was stressing, and it was clear to see. His blonde hair ( which was now a more natural honey blond as it was fading away ) was messed up, sticking up in all different places. He had a calculator in one hand and he was quickly writing down his finances.

" What is this bafoonery? " Jungkook yelled, pulling at his hair. He too, was figuring out his costs and it making him feel dizzy.

Jimin and Jungkook both had a free period so they were sitting outside on the grassy areas of AVC, doing some work.

" I legit don't have any more money to spend on textiles. Why the fuck did the topics have to change. I was good for the whole year, and now, I'm gonna be in debt before I hit twenty. " Jungkook whined in misery.

The two boys continued to complain and sulk.

" Jungkook. " A deep voice said, Jungkook, instantly recognising the voice and turned to face Taehyung.

" I'll pay for the costs of all the materials you need. "

Jungkook's mouth dropped, " w-what? No Taehyung, you don't need to do that. "

Jimin kissed his teeth, " just take the offer you silly boy. At least you've got someone to buy you the materials. I have no one. "

" You have me. " Yoongi interjected. Jimin turned to face Yoongi in awe. Yoongi walked up to the three boys. He smirked when he seen Jimin's face. " R-really? But my material shop is quite far from here. " Jimin compromised.

" So? I'll drive you there. " Yoongi shrugged. " O-okay. " Jimin stuttered, grabbing his things leaving with Yoongi but waving goodbye to Jungkook before he left.

Taehyung put his hands in his jean pockets, facing Jungkook, " so, you coming? " He began walking fast which made Jungkook quickly shove his things into his bag and run after him.

" Why though? " Jungkook asked, already breathless from running to catch up with Taehyung.

" Consider this as a thanks for yesterday. " He shrugged.

Taehyung and Jungkook walked towards the car park and straight to Taehyung's repaired car, " seriously?!? " Jungkook shouted. Taehyung got into his car paying now attention to Jungkook. " They already repaired your car? " Jungkook asked the minute he got in.

" Yeah, they pulled in a favour. "

" It almost looks brand new. " Jungkook said, in awe of this car.

Taehyung laughed, " where to? " He asked, looking at Jungkook. Jungkook gave him the location of the textiles shop.

When Taehyung arrived there, Jungkook ran out of the car and into the shop like a little kid. Taehyung chuckled and followed after him.

" Taehyung, you don't have to do this you know. " Jungkook said, looking through some materials.

" It's my way of saying thanks, it's nothing more, and nothing less. "

Jungkook nodded, " yeah I know that."

Jungkook grabbed all the materials needed for clothing item one. He had rolls and rolls of different types of fabric in his hands.

" I can just get these for today with the help of you and you don't need to worry about the rest. " Jungkook tried walking forward but Taehyung stopped him.

" Just buy everything you need now. " Taehyung growled.

Jungkook rolled his eyes, " if you say so. " If Taehyung wanted Jungkook to spend his money, he will.

Jungkook then ran around the shop, picking up some black materials, lace and jewelled mesh.

As he walked up to the counter, he saw something on the shelf. His mouth dropped to the floor. It was the most beautiful black velvet material with a dark purple under.

He figured that this specific material would look amazing as a cape, " how much is that for a yard? " Jungkook asked.

The cashier was chewing gum aggressively, " um....that's totally like twenty pounds. "

Jungkook's heart dropped, he'd at least need sixty quid worth of that one material. He had already spent so much of Taehyung's money, he just couldn't spend any more.

He turned around to face Taehyung, " Taehyung I'm done, let's go. " Taehyung nodded, paid for the things and helped Jungkook take them to the car.

" It looked like you really wanted to buy that. " Taehyung said, he had observed Jungkook, and saw how his shoulders had slumped when he realised that he couldn't get them.

Jungkook, who sat down in Taehyung's car, said, " well, you can't always get what you want. "

Taehyung stared at Jungkook for a while. " What? Is there something on my face? " Jungkook asked, his hands touching his face.

" Nothing. "
