When Jimin and Jungkook reached the Chem lab, they saw Tae with seats next to him empty. Jimin sat on his left and Jungkook to his right, Taehyung started talking.
“I have a short story that I have to tell you guys.”
“Yeah?”
“Okay kids! Good morning to you all! For today, I put you in twelve different groups. You will be doing small projects and experiments with your group throughout the whole year. I’m afraid I can’t change the groups now unless you have a serious issue.” The teacher had walked in. She said the last part eyeing our trio at the back of the class.
“Now come and get all you need for today’s experiment.”
Jungkook got up unwillingly and took one of everything the teacher pointed at. On his way back, a kid purposely bumped into him and nearly made him drop and break everything he had. “Watch where you’re going, nerd!” he said snickering. Jungkook, who had got used to this, just mumbled a quick apology and reached his friends looking totally unbothered.
Taehyung looked nervous; like he didn’t know what to say, how to tell his story. He also seemed kind of relieved because of the interruption, Jimin observed. When everyone sat back down, the teacher started explaining something that nobody listened.
“So what is the story hyung?”
“Well it’s not much of a story actually, it is just new information. You might have noticed that I’ve been talking to my mom a lot lately…”
“Yeah?” Jimin said.
“I told her about us.”
“And? What did she say?”
“At first, she… ehm… tried to help me choose.”
“Choose? What do you mean choose?”
“Well… after I realised I lov- I had feelings for both of you, I thought the only sensible solution was to choose.”
There was a silence.
“Didn’t you already chose though?” Jungkook said, breaking the silence. He gestured at Jimin.
“No! It’s never that easy… We saw that on monday.”
Jimin and Jungkook both stopped trying to talk and just listened.
“So, after I did some thinking, I decided I didn’t want to choose and I told my mom about it, that was why I was talking to her early in yesterday morning.” Tae continued. “She told me about her own time in high school. She said there were three boys in her school that were kind of in our situation.” He looked down. It was hard to speak when Jimin and Jungkook were both looking at him intensely, wondering where he was going.
“And??” Jimin said impatiently.
“And she said that… one day they came to school laughing and holding hands, they told their friends that they were… dating. At first everyone found it weird and overwhelming but as time went by they ‘started to see the beauty in it’.” He said the last part in air quotes.
When he paused, both boys seemed dumbfounded.
“At first, this story seemed stupid and disgusting to me too. But after I talked to you, Jimin, yesterday and I did some thinking; it all started to seem sensible and cute even.”
“So…” Jungkook started.
“You…” Jimin added.
“Us…”
