~ 3rd Person POV ~

Many popular boys and girls asked him out but Taehyung always politely denied their love for him. He wasn't trying to be mean or anything, he was just waiting for love

Love will come by faith, not by force

" This time, let's actually study and read," Taehyung said smiling as he walked into the library with his best friend Hoseok

" But studying is boring and wasteful," Hoseok said pouting and sitting down at a chair

" But you want to ace this quiz right? " Taehyung said smiling and getting out his book

" Let's get to reading," Taehyung said smiling and began to read the books that he was assigned. As they were studying, Taehyung heard his name being called

" Taehyung?" He heard a voice from behind him. Taehyung turned around to see Tommi. Tommi was one of the most popular boys in school

Tommi always tried to get Taehyung attention but Taehyung tried his best to let the boy know that he wasn't interested

" Hey Tommi," Taehyung said smiling softly

" I was wondering if you wanted to go to this party with me Saturday..maybe we could call it a date, " Tommi said smiling and Taehyung looked up at him

" Oh um....how about I think about it and I'll let you know tomorrow, " Taehyung said smiling softly and Tommi nodded his head and walked away

Taehyung's smile dropped from his face and continued to read his book. His best friend looked at him and frowned

" How many times are you going to ignore him? He has been trying to get with you for the past 7 months. Why can't you just blow him off " Hoseok said looking at his friend

" Because you know I don't like being mean! I don't want to just blow him off. I don't care if he is popular or not, if I don't like him then I won't date him" Taehyung said looking at him

Taehyung was the person to not care about someone's popularity. He didn't care if Tommi was popular or if he was the most gorgeous person in school, if Taehyung didn't like him, he wasn't going to date him

" You know how I am Hoseokie. I'm not going to go out with him just because he is popular. I want to find love willingly, not by force " Taehyung said as he closed his book

" It's not by force if you just say no "

" But it feels like force if people only want us to be together because he is popular. Just because we are both are popular doesn't mean we are meant to be " Taehyung said smiling and they continued to study and read

" Talk to you later Hoseokie! " Taehyung said smiling and walked out the school gates. He smiled as he walked down the streets to his house. He hummed tones as he walked through the park

He looked over to see someone sitting down on the bench. He remembered that hairstyle and smiled when he realized that it was his next-door neighbor Jungkook

He didn't usually walk over to people and talk to them but since he was his new neighbor, he wanted to be nice. He smiled and walked over to him

" Hello, Neighbor " Taehyung said smiling. and sitting down next to him. Jungkook gave him a small wave and turned his attention back to his comic books

" How are you? Did you have school today? What grade are you in? I'm a Junior, what about you " Taehyung said as he overwhelmingly asked Jungkook questions

Jungkook's emotions were m almost always turned off so when someone was willing to talk to him, he always would ignore them

" Come on! Tell me about yourself! We are neighbors remember? We will be seeing a lot of each other " Taehyung said smiling and looking down at him

Jungkook looked up at the boy and slowly got out his whiteboard and marker

" Why are you using that- oh, I remember last night you told me that you don't talk much, " Taehyung said smiling a little

" How are you," Taehyung said smiling and Jungkook became to write on the board

" I'm doing okay, what about you," He wrote and Taehyung looking at him

" I'm great! Why did you guys move into my neighborhood? It's a pretty quiet place so no one moves there. Plus, I've been told that the house was supposed to be torn down " Taehyung said honestly

" I don't know why we moved...I don't have any friends here "

" Why don't you have any friends?" Taehyung said pouting a little

" I don't talk much so people don't want to be friends with me "

" You don't have friends just because you don't like talking?" Taehyung asked him

" Because I am mute and I don't talk, " Jungkook said looking at him and Taehyung smiled a little

" It's okay that you don't talk much! That's okay!" Taehyung said smiling and Jungkook looked at him at him

" Why are you so nice?" Jungkook wrote and Taehyung looked at him crazy

" Am I not supposed to be nice?" Taehyung asked him and Jungkook looked down at his lap

" I have to go...it was nice talking to you, " Jungkook wrote on the whiteboard before getting up

" Oh....it was nice talking to you Jungkook...maybe we could walk together? I mean, we live less than 10 seconds away from each other " Taehyung said laughing a little and Jungkook didn't know about that

What if Taehyung tries to hurt him? What if Taehyung switches up and tries to harm him? Remember, Jungkook has trust issues

Jungkook just nodded his head and started to walk home. Taehyung was beside him and started to hum tones

As they walked home, Taehyung took a little glimpse at Jungkook. He has some bruises on his cheek and he looked a little scared

" Hey, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost " Taehyung said looking at him and Jungkook looked at him

" Oh...I'm good, I'm very a little stressed due to school " Jungkook said looking at him and his breathing started to go crazy

He didn't want to face his parents

" Bye " Jungkook mouthed before walking into his house and closing the door behind him. He looked up to see his parents

" Who was that boy," His dad said looking at his son as he lit up a cigarette

" Our neighbor," Jungkook said mouthing to his Dad

" Mhm....." His Dad said as he walked back upstairs. He looked at his mom before walking into the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of water

He walked upstairs and sat down on his bed and looking out his window. He saw Taehyung enter his room with his dog
He smiled at the dog and kissed it on the head

"Why are you so nice to me?..."
