"How about you stop talking about my boyfriend like that? I highly doubt you'd want to become friends with my fist."

"J-Jeongguk... funny seeing you here. What are you- wait. Boyfriend?", the guy (#1) said, losing all the confidence he had in front of the handsome male.

"Jeongguk. I know you have a thing for Tae but you don't have to lie about being together. We all know you're too much of a coward to ask him out", the other guy (#2) said.

"Oh, really? Fine. Let's say Tae and I aren't dating. What makes you guys so sure he'd give you the attention that you seek?", Jeongguk said all confident.

"Look. You have to understand that sooner or later he'll have a boyfriend. He won't be with you for the rest of your life. I understand you care for him but you don't have to go off scaring people who talk inappropriate about him. Girls and sometimes guys talk about you like that all the time. You don't see Tae telling those people to back off because you two are dating", guy (#2) said.

"I wouldn't actually call it a l-"

"Honestly. Your ego is too big. If I want to talk about him inappropriately, then I can. You don't have a say in the matter. If I'm interested in him, who are you to lie to keep me away?", guy (#1) said; getting his confidence from his friend who had spoken to Jeongguk.

Jeongguk scoffed. In the end, he decided not to pay any attention to them. Time would only be wasted talking to the likes of them.

Just as he was about to sit on his seat, he heard more profanities coming from that same guy who was talking about Taehyung not that long ago. (#1)

"He ain't even that nice to look at. Personality wise, I mean. All I see is a pretty face and good body to wreck"

"Bro, you crossed the line. You can't just approach him to due to you sexu-"

The friend of that guy didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence. Jeongguk had already pushed the guy (#1), making him fall of his chair and landing on the floor.

"Listen here you son of a bitch. Taehyung is the most wonderful person you'll ever meet. He's kind and tries to see the best in everyone which is probably the reason as to why he's been sitting with new people at school. People like you are utterly disgusting. You're taking advantage of his kindness just to satisfy whatever desires you have. At least that friend of yours knows that what you said was crossing the line. You're lucky I just pushed you and didn't yell. Not like it matters. Even if I did nothing, Tae would never look at you because his heart already belongs to me. He's got standards and I so happen to have them as well. He's Mine. Talk about him like that one more time and I won't hesitate to put you in your place", Jeongguk said. His anger was quite visible. Not wanting to deal with them any longer, he made his way to his seat and sat down.

'Sick bastard', Jeongguk thought.

The guy on the floor was just staring into thin air. He was shocked but it didn't matter. He wasn't gonna feel guilty any time soon and the way he views Taehyung still hadn't changed. On the other hand, his friend was impressed. He was amazed. He could finally see Jeongguk's true feelings for Taehyung.

'Well done, Jeongguk. Well done'

———

It wasn't long until the bell had rung. Actually, it kind of was. It's not like learning history intrigued the students but who knows. Maybe there are students who enjoy it.

When the bell rung, Jeongguk didn't waste any time in going downstairs for his next class: Art. It was held in the first floor of the school building. There are only two reasons it's his favorite elective out of all. First, Taehyung has that same elective. Second, he's really good at drawing and painting. Just any form of art in general.

The moment he entered, he saw Taehyung already in his seat.

"Baby, how'd you get here so fast?", Jeongguk chuckled as he took a seat next to him.

"Koo. My second period is literally in front of art class", Taehyung laughed.

"I knew that", Jeongguk lied. He looked around and didn't see their teacher so he asked, "By the way, where's the teacher?"

"I believe there's a substitute today. I saw her walk out the moment I got here", Taehyung answered.

"Oh, I s-"

"TAE! Who will you be sitting with today?", a random girl asked once she entered; interrupting Jeongguk accidentally. The guy from Jeongguk's second period only kept quiet. He didn't want to get in a fight with Jeongguk. His friend was clearly not on his side and it's not like he'd come out alive.

"Kook! Who will you be sitting with? Can it be me?"

"Uh...", Taehyung tried saying but kept quiet not knowing what to do.

"I'd rather not", Jeongguk said to the girl uninterested.

"Tae. Pick me please!", a boy said.

"I.. um.."

"Kookie! Don't be like that. Sit with me", the girl said.

"I told you I'm not interested. Fuck off. As for the rest of you. Sorry but Tae is sitting with me today", Jeongguk said looking at the students who were arguing. His gaze soon turning towards Taehyung.

"Isn't that right, babe?"

Taehyung looked at him confused.

'Babe? What is he- OH! Babe! Why didn't I think of that?', Taehyung thought before playing along with Jeongguk.

"Yup. Sorry, guys. I'm gonna be sitting with him as of now. It's been a week since I enjoyed some school time with my boyfriend. I hope you all understand", Taehyung said grinning.

"Boyfriend?! You and Jeongguk?! Kook. I thought you were straight and only liked girls"

"Nah. They're probably lying. They're best friends so they'd say anything just to keep the other from getting involved with others"

"Do you two think we're dumb?"

Those were the type of comments they got and Taehyung was starting to get nervous.

'Fuck. What should I do?', he thought.

All of a sudden, Jeongguk had pulled Taehyung on his lap and stared at him. He looked at Taehyung's lips and then back at his eyes. As if he was signaling him on what should be done.

It took Taehyung some time to get it but when he did, he didn't hesitate to lean in and kiss Jeongguk passionately; running his hands through the other's hair. Jeongguk kissed back immediately and couldn't help but smile between the kiss from time to time. Taehyung, doing the same. Now this, was something that both of them would never get tired of.

Eventually, while they were still kissing, Jeongguk flicked the people with his middle finger. One, 'proving' to them that they were 'dating'. Two, showing off that Taehyung belonged to him and only him.

After some time, they pulled away slowly and just stared at each other lovingly. Completely forgetting about the other students who were there looking at them. When realizing that the other students were there, they looked at them and noticed their mouths hanging due to shock.

Taehyung turned red to embarrassment. He just made out with Jeongguk in front of others. Not knowing what else to do, he hid his face in Jeongguk's chest while Jeongguk just laughed it off and wrapped his hands around his 'boyfriend'.

"You shouldn't look at us like that. Aren't you the ones who signed up for this? Ya'll just kept staring. Do make out sessions or porn turn you on by any chance?", Jeongguk said as he smirked.

"No w-"

"Settle down students. I'm your substitute for today. Your teacher had some personal problems at home and couldn't attend school. Now please take a seat. You! Young man in the back who's carrying a student in his lap. Refrain yourself from doing such actions in here. This is a class. Okay, good. Now. The teacher left me instructions here. She said you'll be..."

———

"I'm so sorry you two. I didn't mean to intrude in your love life. I would have backed off if I knew about you dating earlier. I'll take my leave now", the girl from earlier apologized, leaving to her sixth period as soon as she stopped speaking.

"Well you look at that. Bet the word will spread now. At least, we'll have less people to deal with", Taehyung giggled, making Jeongguk smile.

"Look at the bright side", Jeongguk said pulling Taehyung towards him by the waist.

"Hmm and what is that?", Taehyung asked as he wrapped his arms around Jeongguk's neck, knowing very well himself what it is.

"More time for us. They'll acknowledge we're boyfriends and maybe respect our privacy~", Jeongguk said, leaning in for a kiss but Taehyung ruined that by speaking.

"Oh shit! I completely forgot about handing Mr. Lee my assignment from last week! He probably already failed me. I have to go", Taehyung said, releasing himself from Jeongguk's hold and walking away; leaving Jeongguk hella confused.

Just as he was leaving, Taehyung remembered something and ran back to Jeongguk; pulling him into a kiss. Jeongguk's heart did flips. He was shocked but still happy. His heart was beating very fast. It felt as if it would leave his body any second now but that didn't stop Jeongguk from kissing back. I mean, who wouldn't?

A few seconds later, Taehyung pulled out due to lack of oxygen and Jeongguk could only look at Taehyung with only love and adoration. He was truly head over heels and in love with this boy. Taehyung took notice and laughed.

"Oh, Koo. What am I going to do with you? Anyway, I'll go now. See you later, babe", Taehyung said, whispering the last part. Of course, not forgetting to wink before leaving. Jeongguk tried to reach out for him but decided it'd be best not to. It's clear to anyone that Taehyung thought Jeongguk was just saying that to keep Taehyung from harm's way which is why he played along. Yet...

Little did Taehyung know that Jeongguk was being serious about the whole relationship thing.
